Public SALOON Events (for everyone)
PAR(I)TY WITH US
SALOON Berlin x Janine Mackenroth x aquabitArt
24. April – 4. May 2024
The two gallery spaces at aquabitArt gallery featured a symbiosis of international SALOON artists and a solo presentation by artist Janine Mackenroth. Together with SALOON Berlin board member Sarah Maske, Mackenroth has developed the exhibition concept for Gallery Weekend: she kept the walls of the gallery’s second room free for her colleagues. She covered the floor with millions of shredded Euro banknotes, which she “lay at the feet“, so to speak, of the works of the artists from the SALOON network.
SALOON Artists: Janine Mackenroth (Munich) and 20 international SALOON members: Nina Ansari (Berlin), Sara Benninga (Jerusalem), Anna Borgman (Berlin), Aika Furukawa (Brussels), Zohar Fraiman (Berlin), Manja Ebert (Berlin), Franziska King (Vienna), Mariella Kerscher (Munich), Alex Lebus (Berlin), Niina Lehtonen Braun (Berlin), Markéta Magidová (Prague), Nadja Verena Marcin (Berlin), Lena Oehmsen (Berlin), Lisa Premke (Berlin), Mirae kh RHEE (Berlin), Johanna Smiatek (Berlin), Jeanne Susplugas (Paris), Ivonne Thein (Berlin), Gülce Tulçalı (London), Adriane Steckhan (Hamburg)

"Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?"* Part II
September 27, 2018, 8 pm
At: ACUD STUDIO, Berlin

Liberty Adrien (Hamburg) / Magali Desbazeille (Paris) / Ornella Fieres (Berlin) / Ce Jian (Berlin) / Anne Simone Krüger (Hamburg) / Nadine Lemke (Vienna) /

*"Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?" is the title of an essay by Linda Nochlin (1931-2017) from 1971. The American art historian examines the institutional hurdles responsible for the massive underrepresentation of female artists in the art world. The SALOON, the network for women working in the Berlin, Hamburg, Vienna and Parisian art industries, together with Performing Encounters, uses Nochlin's ideas as an opportunity to raise public awareness of women in the art of the past decades. In short lectures, SALOON members introduce topics and personalities that have helped shape the art scene of their respective time, but in the history of which little or no consideration has been given.
Moderated by Yvonne Zindel and Tina Sauerlaender. Organized by Performing Encounters and SALOON Berlin

An open discussion and screening of short films that explore the incessant experience of invisibility of women of the African diaspora globally. There is a connectedness in the culture of Blackness internationally, but there are nuances and complexities that differentiate those experiences. An exploration of how the Black body can be both ignored while also being over-sexualized in the hands of the white gaze. Through the lens of women identified Black filmmakers, from each continent, who offer counter-narratives that dismantle the flattening of Black Womanhood.
