The Truth About Everything is the new group show opening tomorrow afternoon at Erratum Galerie, comprising works by artists Kandis Williams, GeoVanna Gonzalez, Mükerrem Tuncay and Mosa.
Erratum is a small and independent gallery in the basement of the backyard of a building complex in Kreuzberg, which opened its doors in 2013. The space is run by an independent group of artists from different fields, that specifically detach themselves from theory and academicism in the field of exhibition curating. Maybe that’s why their shows feel so honest and inviting — the space asks you to stay, to spend some time among the works and the artists and connect with the surrounding.
THE TRUTH ABOUT EVERYTHING (event details)
“When I was about fifteen years old we had retired to our house near Belrive, when we witnessed a most violent and terrible thunderstorm. It advanced from behind the mountains of Jura; and the thunder burst at once with frightful loudness from various quarters of the heavens. I remained, while the storm lasted, watching its progress with curiosity and delight. As I stood at the door, on a sudden I beheld a stream of fire issue from an old and beautiful oak which stood about twenty yards from our house; and so soon as the dazzling light vanished the oak had disappeared, and nothing remained but a blasted stump. When we visited it the next morning, we found the tree shattered in a singular manner. It was not splintered by the shock, but entirely reduced to thin ribands of wood. I never beheld anything so utterly destroyed.”
(Extract from Frankenstein by Mary Shelley)
“I went to open the room, I saw all this mess on the floor, cardboard, glass bottles over his cartoons, a real jumble. So I took the boxes, bottles, I put everything out.”
(Anna M. – Sala Murat, Bari)
