Exhibition / OUT NOW Uferhallen, Berlin / Germany September 10–13, 2021

OUT NOW is Uferhallen’s 2021 annual exhibition, returning for its third official edition from September 10–13. OUT NOW animates Uferhallen through an exhibition and performance program, two days of open studios, as well as a month-long residency set up under the mentorship of Rosa Barba. OUT NOW takes place in Uferhallen’s landmark main hall and combines established with emerging, internal and external positions to present the work of 34 artists and collectives.

OUT NOW is an exhibition about presence and absence, debut and expulsion. It commands us to gather and to leave. It presents work that celebrates anticipatory and consummatory pleasures alongside positions which trouble the reciprocity of hype and value through omission, concealment or refusal. Works exhibited explore apparent contradictions in order to parse the complex realities of being an artist today. The program registers a range of media, tones and textures which, in combination, suggest that singularity is not always an asset and that the new might not simply be a form of triumph, but a catalyst for new alliances.

The exhibition includes work by Yalda Afsah, Amelia Barratt, Douglas Boatwright, Ilaria Biotti, Sandra E. Blatterer, Peter Böhnisch, John Bock, Marcel Broodthaers, Patty Chang, Nina Emge, Olamiju Fajemisin, Heiner Franzen, Asta Gröting, Harriet Groß, Katharina Grosse, Yael Graetz, Alice Z. Jones, Fubbi Karlsson (House of North), Peter Klare, Ricard Larsson, Rainer Neumeier, Lukas Panek, Denzel Tristan Russell, Hansjörg Schneider, Tyra Tingleff
