Stephan Kaluza / Dieter Nuhr
Landscapes in a Dialogue between Painting and Photography At first glance, Stephan Kaluza's (b. 1964, Bad Iburg; lives and works in Duesseldorf) photorealist paintings might be still lifes, portraits of pristine nature. Yet they actually show battlefields and other scenes of past horrors. The idyll in his pictures positively appeals to our vigilance to resist the impression of profound peace. The same ambiguity lies at the heart of the photographs of Dieter Nuhr (b. 1960, Wesel; lives and works in Ratingen). Nuhr, who is also widely known as a comedian, has contributed pictures that are carefully focused renditions of seemingly serendipitous discoveries from his travels in Nepal, Bolivia, India, and Sudan. In their timelessness, Nuhr's photographs are akin to the locales in Kaluza's works, which, disburdened of the heavy weight of their histories, reemerge as straightforward natural landscapes. The lavishly illustrated two-volume edition presents the fruits of a collaboration between two artists united by their shared preoccupation with the dialectic of ephemerality and permanence.

German Painting
Here's a show of female painters working in Germany. Karin Kneffel and Cornelia Schleime are both native Germans, from West and the old East Germany respectively. Highly competent technically, both artists often include animals and birds in their work - check out the cool duck in Schleime's portrait, and the Dalmatian in Kneffel's enigmatic interior study. But the star is Seo Soo-Kyoung. A Korean, she's one of a huge number of foreign artists working in Berlin. She tears up rice paper and sticks it onto canvas, before painting it thinly with watercolours. Romanticised, monumental idylls, they're wildly colourful and uterly fantastic
