Hoffmann de Vere’s work deals with issues of place, structure, material, design, and surface with a raw conceptual and historical sensibility. ‘CONFRONTATIONS’, a solo exhibition of collages, paintings, and drawings by Hoffmann de Vere, revisits a sliver of German history as the artist captures the change of Berlin, from former island city to German capital. The title of the show Confrontations is derived from one of Hoffmann de Vere’s work, Confrontation, in the singular mode, which Hoffmann de Vere says was suggested to him at the time, on August 13th 1961, upon looking at U.S. and Russian tanks sitting across a small barbed wire fence in Berlin, at the brink of another world war. From that singular moment in history, Hoffmann de Vere uses abstraction to shift our focus to plural forms of ‘CONFRONTATIONS’, from fear of the enemy (Feindbild) between East and West, to fear of the enemy between ‘us’ and ’them’, in today’s troubled times. The viewer is pulled again and again into the iconic places of the former divided city: the Brandenburg Gate, Checkpoint Charlie, the Potsdamer Place or the Oberbaum Bridge, all reflecting the breaks as it were in German history, rendered in Hoffmann de Vere’s dialectic in a singular way. These places in Berlin became not only focuses of division, but also symbols and bridges of reunification. Mixing various media, from Oelfarbe and acrylic to Fotocollagen, from silk screens to technology-animated posters and papiers collés, Hoffmann de Vere brings into focus and onto his large canvases, facets of old and new Berlin, Berlin by day and by night. The artist confronts our preconceived ideas of construction and de-construction, with reinvented inference to structure and architecture. In Hoffmann de Vere’s dialectic, the new Berlin constantly mutates; in ‘Checkpoint Charlie’, enormous construction cranes interlock in the sky over a Babylonian Potsdamer Platz. Re-interpret- ing the many strata of that open physical construction hole (Baustelle), Hoffmann de Vere’s collage paintings act both as layers of space and tracks of time; they do offer us multifaceted versions and loaded fragments of emotional stimulation. The artist’s packed collages, their staccato rhythm, poignantly connect to a city trapped, divided and encircled, and yet, waiting to be restored, reborn, reconstructed. Hoffmann de Vere was born in Berlin in 1945. He went to an American kindergarten. Throughout primary school, he lived in the U.S. sector in Berlin and was always confronted to Americans. At age 18, Hoffmann de Vere made his first painting, an East Asian garden landscape, inspired by a wall carpet that hung in the parental living room in Zehlendorf. In 1982, the view changed; the painter moved into a large studio nearby the Oberbaum Bridge (Oberbaumbrücke) that spans the river 115 WEST 23RD STREET LOFT 61 NEW YORK, NY 10011 ☎ 646. 287. 5340 MARC@ MATCHARTSPACE.COM MATCH SHOW 10.21.04 press 10/11/04 12:59 AM Page 2 Spree in the south east of Berlin, linking Kreuzberg, formerly in West Berlin, and Friedrichshain, formerly in East Berlin. Directly under Hoffmann de Vere’s large windows were border patrol boats on the Spree; behind his studio, death strip, the Wall - the scar in the face of the city. From 1963 on, the Oberbaumbrücke became infamous as a pedestrian border crossing point used mainly by elderly visitors from the East. In the years between 1968 and 1975, Hoffmann de Vere went to art school Hochschule der Künste (HdK) in Berlin and was master pupil with Prof. Hann Trier. While at art school at HdK and during art residencies and workshops the like of Atelierhaus Worpswede and Naganuma, Japan, Hoffmann de Vere became increasingly intrigued by works of Lindner, Rauschenberg and Warhol. Hoffmann de Vere’s first trip to the US, and to New York, was in 1971. He would not return before 2003. The emergence of Pop Art and Pop Culture had a huge impact on him, as a young German living in New York in the seventies. Exhibited in major European private and museum collections, Hoffmann de Vere feels particularly at home in New York. The city, he says, reminds him of Leonard Cohen’s words about a bridge between New York and Berlin, ‘First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin.’ Just as Manhattan, Berlin was once an island, encircled by the Wall and sustained through airlifts.

  • Berlin - Wikipedia
    Berlin - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin Coordinates: 52°30′26″N 13°8′45″E Berlin From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Berlin (/bɜːrˈlɪn, ˌbɜːr-/, German: [bɛɐ̯ˈliːn]) is the capital and the largest city of Germany as well as one of its 16 Berlin constituent states, Berlin-Brandenburg. With a State of Germany population of approximately 3.7 million,[4] Berlin is the most populous city proper in the European Union and the sixth most populous urban area in the European Union.[5] Located in northeastern Germany on the banks of the rivers Spree and Havel, it is the centre of the Berlin- Brandenburg Metropolitan Region, which has roughly 6 million residents from more than 180 nations[6][7][8][9], making it the sixth most populous urban area in the European Union.[5] Due to its location in the European Plain, Berlin is influenced by a temperate seasonal climate. Around one- third of the city's area is composed of forests, parks, gardens, rivers, canals and lakes.[10] First documented in the 13th century and situated at the crossing of two important historic trade routes,[11] Berlin became the capital of the Margraviate of Brandenburg (1417–1701), the Kingdom of Prussia (1701–1918), the German Empire (1871–1918), the Weimar Republic (1919–1933) and the Third Reich (1933–1945).[12] Berlin in the 1920s was the third largest municipality in the world.[13] After World War II and its subsequent occupation by the victorious countries, the city was divided; East Berlin was declared capital of East Germany, while West Berlin became a de facto West German exclave, surrounded by the Berlin Wall [14] (1961–1989) and East German territory.

  • Tageszeitung (Taz) Article on the Opening of the Berlin Wall
    Volume 10. One Germany in Europe, 1989 – 2009 The Fall of the Berlin Wall (November 9, 1989) Two journalists from Die Tageszeitung (taz), a left-of-center West Berlin newspaper, describe the excitement generated by the sudden opening of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989. The event was the result of internal pressure applied by East German citizens, and it evoked spontaneous celebration from a people who could once again freely cross the border and rekindle relationships with friends and relatives on the other side. (Please note: the dancing bear mentioned below is a figurative reference to West Berlin's official mascot. Beginning in 1954, the flag of West Berlin featured a red bear set against a white background. In 1990, the bear became the mascot of a unified Berlin. The former West Berlin flag now represents the city as a whole.) "We Want In!" The Bear Is Dancing on the Border Around midnight, RIAS – the American radio station broadcasting to the East – still has no traffic interruptions to report. Yet total chaos already reigns at the border checkpoint on Invalidenstrasse. People parked their cars at all conceivable angles, jumped out, and ran to the border. The transmission tower of the radio station "Free Berlin" is already engulfed by a throng of people (from the West) – waiting for the masses (from the East) to break through. After three seconds, even the most hardened taz editor finds himself applauding the first Trabi he sees. Everyone gets caught up in the frenzy, whether she wants to or not. Even the soberest members of the crowd are applauding, shrieking, gasping, giggling.

The analysis mainly starts from four aspects: geographical environment, developing history, urban space fabric and building style. The two cities have similar geographical latitudes but different climate. Both of the two cities have a long history of development. As historical streets, both of the two streets are the main shopping street in the two cities respectively. The Berlin one is a famous luxury-shopping street while the Harbin one is a famous shopping destination for both citizens and tourists. As for the urban fabric, both streets have fishbone-like spatial structure but with different densities; both streets are pedestrian-friendly but with different scales; both have courtyards space structure but in different forms. Friedrichstrasse was divided into two parts during the World War II and it was partly ruined. It was rebuilt in IBA in the 1980s and many architectural masterpieces were designed by such world-known architects like O.M.

Mélanie Budapest Lánchíd – The Chain Bridge The postcard in your hand is the first image of the city. Many never get any further than that: Budapest = The Chain Bridge. Of course, that which has become a cliché was once important. The Chain Bridge was the first bridge that connected the venerable, aristocratic, sedate and historical, hilly and green Buda with Pest. A new city built on flat grounds that was loud and boasted exciting artistic and bohemian influences. On this bridge Dorothee has found a corner that makes all this disappear, and only the architectural miracle appears, the myriad daubs, and below the ice floes on the Danube.
