ALASTAIR THAIN – MONOTHEISMText: Dr. Thomas Köhler, stellvertretender Direktor, Berlinische Galerie DANIELLA SHEINMAN – 9/11 SERIESPETER BUECHLERBACCARA SMART – KICKING SAWDUSTNiki Elbe — in the woodsArtist Niki Elbe lives in Berlin. Her work features not only room installations uniting design elements from film, photography, language, the objet, painting and drawing but also series of drawings and individual pictures. The findings and self-knowledge expressed in her drawings evidence a psychological strength drawn from the experiences of love and suffering, joy and sorrow, freedom and a lack of the latter, engaging in commitment and splitting up, satisfaction and dissatisfaction. Elbe’s works are thus deeply human ways of divesting herself of experiences, of a life that she has lived, experienced or desired.
