Schiefe Zähne is pleased to present an exhibition by Nikolas Gambaroff (b. 1979) consisting of new paintings and sculptures, a mixed media collage, a tear made out of wax, and an arrangement of light fixtures that used to frame the neon bulbs in the artists Kurfürstendamm studio, now the construction site for the development of an exclusive shopping center, boutique hotel and „cultural site“ appropriately called Fürst – happily over-identifying with symbols of power, tradition and „Heimat“ .
DEM FÜRSTEN
Erste Fassung
Laß in der Wahrheit immerdar
Mich bleiben
Niemals im Unglük,
aber zu singen
Ihr Wohnungen des Himmels
wo sie den Tempel gebaut
Und Dreifuß und Altar
aber
herab von den Gipfeln
zu singen den Helden
Deutsche Jugend – Zorn der alten Staaten –
hat ein Bürger
(from an unfinished hymn by Friedrich Hölderlin)
