Florencia Almirón's show Million places to fuck subverts notions of comfort, familiarity and permanence.

One might say, it fucks with these notions, in a surreal kind of way. Map (2011) is an old map of Berlin - a

familiar and useful tool - onto which a fried egg has been rudely stuck; the egg will transmogrify over the

course of the show. Couch (2011) is a piece of comfortable living-room furniture which has been

penetrated by a scaffolding pole and thereby hoisted ecstatically off the ground; for good measure, a

potted-plant-pot has been jammed into the plush upholstery. Pentagrama II (2010) is a cheapo clothes'

dryer that has been taken over by large plush garish fabric worms: an imaginative housewife's worst

nightmare. It stands in a room which has been papered with Sky (2011), custom-made wallpaper that

perhaps reminds you of what you had for breakfast and of, well, maybe, depending how your synapses

are fixed, the need to get fucking. The graphic Million places to fuck, which gives the title to the show,

speaks for itself. Almirón was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina; she lives and works in Berlin. In 2010 she

had solo shows at Souterrain, Berlin, and Oellermann Gallery, Berlin.

April 20-24, 2010

Urban space of Berlin and Galerie Eva Bracke, Steinmetzstraße 3, Berlin

Opening reception on Saturday, April 17, at 6 pm

Public art is usually not sought. If it is nevertheless found and appreciated, this often happens spontaneously, a chance meeting with the artwork. In this exhibition, artists of various nationalities and media have produced or submitted and dispersed ephemeral works of art within Berlin's urban space; just as spontaneously. The point of departure for this exhibition will be Galerie Eva Bracke. Excerpts of a map of Berlin which show the locations of the art pieces are hung homogeneously in the gallery space. Just as in a classical museum situation, the maps are presented along with small labels, on which the name of the artist and the artwork information are written. From here a cartographic trail is laid for a potential course through the city, before contentual, aesthetic, or situational receptive interaction with the artwork can take place at each site.

Finding the artwork is left to the visitors. For a relatively limited time period perceptive randomness will be undermined by a deliberate seeking out of public artwork. The pieces are integrated within the flow of urban routine, subjected to possible consequences such as weathering, vandalism or theft.
