Das Prinzip Hoffnung Die metaphysische
Malerei von Amir Reza Modabberi
Friends of Gelbe Tonne,
It is an honour to invite you to our next outstanding
exhibition entitled Das Prinzip Hoffnung Die metaphysische
Malerei von Amir Reza Modabberi. Iranian artist with more
than 40 years of experience whose current interest lies in
the metaphysical encounter between nature and the divine:
...From time immemorial the eye of the Creator has blinked
at us in the face of nature. Here the idea still took
precedence over reality. In this perspective, the spirit
descends from heaven and manifests itself as a thought in
our brain. All our actions are prepared in this way, we
follow such inspiration in our earthly activities.
It seems to spring from the infinity of cosmic expanses.
So, we move both from above and below our feet on the
ground of nature. In this way we are subjects, nature
is what is above us - the object. Nature, as an objective,
jumps out at us from the image, seemingly as pure matter.
No human being to be seen.
Jürgen Nafti

How to create a seed
Seed: A thing that is the cause or origin from which others
arise. RAE
From time immemorial, the seed has given us the fruit, but also
the experience and understanding of the process of life. A seed
is the potential and project of being, without which neither we
nor much of the world around us would exist.
The seeds are there, available to us, either outside or within
us, but what happens when we set out to create a seed?
In creating a seed, what is created is the act of creating
itself.
The fruit that germinates can be of many kinds: cultural,
scientific, political, etc.
Today, more than ever, we need creative power, political
imagination, and ideas to imagine new scenarios that allow us
to build alternative realities. Against hegemonic models and
against the polarizing inertia of today's world. The invitation
is to germinate.
Gelbe Tonne invites Berlin artists to create a seed.
Until 25 April we are accepting submissions for the group
exhibition "How to create a seed". All formats and media
that fit into a space 1m wide and 2m high are allowed.
Submit now!
Dear audience,
At Gelbe Tonne we are honoured to announce the screening
of Pepe Rovano's acclaimed film "Bastardo".
The documentary tells the story of the director
Pepe Rovano) who at the age of 35 discovers the true identity
of his father, encountering doubts and disappointments that
lead him on a path of reparation and memory.
This is the first time that this documentary will be screened
in Berlin. In addition to the screening, there will be a video
call with the director.
This meeting is of great relevance at a time when the strategies
of memory and reparation, as well as the discussion on the
prevention of genocidal acts, are part of the current
situation and its urgencies.
The meeting will take place on Wednesday 27.03 at 19:00hrs
in Gelbe Tonne (Otawistr 9, 13351 Berlin).
In this laboratory we invite participants to explore ways of
freeing their artistic expression in drawing and painting.
Through simple exercises, suitable for all audiences, we will
try to regain the creative freedom that we tend to lose in
adulthood, freeing ourselves from limiting social conventions...
In other words, we invite you to play!
The laborarory will take place on Saturday 13 April at 11:30
at Gelbe Tonne. Otawistr 9, Wedding.
Book your place (limited availability)
For more information, please contact us internally.
We start the year 2024 with the “Gelbe Tonne” project.
