WIR NENNEN ES ARBEIT
27.10.17 – 25.11.17 

Opere Scelte Gallery has the pleasure of inviting you, on Thursday 26^th October 2017 at 6.30 pm, in via Matteo Pescatore 11/D to the opening of the group show Wir nennen es arbeit / And they call it work.  The title of the exhibition is derived from the Holm Friebe (1972, economist and journalist) and Sascha Lobo (1975, advertising) homonym book telling the birth of a new class of freelance workers who can determine their work using new technologies. Their exciting analysis of a future-oriented form of life inspires the idea of working the way they want to live. So the artists invited to join this great group-show, in a somewhat self-ironic way, declare the passion for their work and being an artist today. There is no specific theme that links the works of the 57 artists who live and work in Berlin and who relate to painting, photography, sculpture and drawing, but there is an aesthetic that matches their work: they are all small size and mostly black and white. The exhibition thus presents a mapping of today's artistic scene in Berlin and brings together the work of real well known artists to young emerging artists.
