18.09.2009 – 09.10.2009: Gebräu 1 Photo Exhibition, Freiburg Germany.
Gebräu 1, Freiburg | “very appreciated in our small town” |
A bit late but i planned to do some nice writing about this Photo Exhibition: Gebräu 1. At Sept. 18th i went to the Exhibition Opening. I have to say that i very appreciate exhibitions of this kind here in our small freiburg. Normally it’s rare here. So thanks to all the people who managed and grounded this exhibition. Joscha Bruckert from Dortmund did a fine job. Not only the artists work ,which i link later this article, but also the location is not what you will usually expect from such an exhibition. The pictures are hanging in rooms from our local beer brewerie “Ganter”. I am not a fan of their beer but it’s nice to see that they opened up some rooms for art.
contrast, an old bureau has space for art [Magdalena Fischer “Junior Athletes”]
One of the most amusings is the fact that some of the photographies are put on stacks of beer crate! But what about the art? You will see the work of thirteen artists from germany, austria and suisse. The range goes from more experimental work to concrete themes. For me the most exciting works are Petra Warras “Glencheck”, a series about a man who has a fictive fight with himself, than Andreas Till’s “Sunday”. For one Till was going out with his Mamyia 7 every sunday, simple to photograph people on sundays. Than i was impressed by the portraits from Christian Breevaart. He photographed a series of students from the Bachelor. They show their feelings after the first semester. Breevaart also chatted a bit with us about his and the others work and how much time and enthusiasm they spend for the exhibition.

Other artists to look through are Anja Schori, Anne Schwalbe, Daniela Droz, Harald Roser, Jana Voigt, Jörg Brüggemann, Joscha Bruckert, Magdalena Fischer, Marlon Kowalski [who is also one of my flickr contacts] & Michael Lämmler. And now some more photos from the exhibition.

2pictures a room.
Today i had a day off. For six hours i helped a friend to repair his windows installation. Back home i feel i have to photograph something. Since a longer time i feel i need some projects, some ideas to improve my photography. So i used the second part of today to do “2pictures a room”. Normally everyone lives for the moment in the everyday life ; and rarely you take a deeper look to the things that surround you.
Room I
Room II
Room III
Room IV
Room V
Room VI
I love the way it came out. The daily things around us have their own expression. Look deeper to them.
