“Der kühle Glanz der Sehnsucht gegen den flüchtigen Moment der Zeit,” a group exhibition will run through August 5, 2017 at 68projects, Berlin.The selection of works on display features Michelle Jezierski’s (b. 1981, Berlin) paintings that are based on photos and create a new image of landscape through overlapping structures, fragments of diverse origin, combined with lines, grids and planes that complement, penetrate and dissolve each other. In contrast to the extended space of Jezierki’s works, there is Anna Freeman Bentley’s (b. 1982, London) dense inner space. The most diverse interiors densely hung walls and reflections of light and objects create a spatial density that ominously narrows and centers the visual field. Alfons Pressnitz (b. 1982, Wagna, Austria) confronts the idyll of landscape with its counterpart, consciously settling a score with the romantic notion of landscape. The works of Tony Cragg (b. 1949) add a sculptural component to the exhibition. Countless organic units merge into one big whole.Tony Cragg studied at Gloucestershire College of Art and Design, attended painting courses at Wimbledon School of Art, before enrolling at the Royal College of Art in 1973. In the 1980s, he participated in documenta 7 and 8 and in five Venice Biennales. Anna Freeman Bentley studied at different London universities between 2000 and 2010. In 2003, she was an Erasmus student at Berlin Weissensee School of Art.

In 2005, she received a scholarship from the Cooper Union in New York City, where she studied under Amy Sillman.
