Julian Charriérre: Soothsayers

15. September – 27. November 2021

DITTRICH & SCHLECHTRIEM is pleased to announce our fifth solo show with Julian Charrière, titled Soothsayers, opening on the occasion of Berlin Gallery Weekend, September 15-19 from 11 AM to 7 PM. The exhibition is on view from September 15 through November 27, 2021. Commended as one of the greatest artists of his generation, Charrière continues to explore post-romantic constructions of “nature,” staging tensions between geological timescales and those relating to humankind. In Soothsayers, the viewers are confronted with an installation focused on materiality and light that induces a meditative, trance-like state. By way of these sensory enhancements, they are prompted to explore the depths of their inner beings and a complex geological matrix.

September also marks the celebration of the 10-year anniversary of DITTRICH & SCHLECHTRIEM, which opened in 2011, notably with Charrière’s first solo exhibition, Horizons.

Soothsayers develops Julian Charrière’s interest in disturbing collisions between earth systems and applied science (as well as hallucinatory night-club aesthetics). Through an immersive display that comprises two new sculptures, the exhibition stages visions of world(s) near and far that oscillate between Traum and trauma.
