Totaliter ALiter Ulrike Rehm 25 november - 25 december 2022, GoMulan Gallery

NL Totaliter Aliter vindt zijn oorsprong in een middeleeuws verhaal over twee monniken die zich het paradijs in de meest stralende kleuren voorstelden. Zij beloven elkaar dat degene die het eerst zou sterven, in een droom aan de ander verschijnt en slechts één woord spreekt. Ofwel "taliter" - het is zoals we ons hadden voorgesteld, ofwel "aliter" - het is anders dan we ons hadden voorgesteld. Nadat de eerste monnik is gestorven, verschijnt hij voor de ander en spreekt de woorden: "Totaliter aliter!" - Het is totaal anders!

Ulrike Rehm (1976) toont in de expositie ‘Totaliter Aliter’ haar wereld vol eeuwenoude mythes. Zoals een afbeelding van het Lam of door in haar materiaalgebruik te verwijzen naar oude technieken zoals encaustic, een techniek die vermoedelijk rond 1000 v.chr is ontstaan. Rehm is veelzijdig en werkt met verschillende materialen zoals textiel, papier, keramiek, porselein, zeep en bijenwas. Hiervan maakt zij haar installaties en beeldhouwwerken. Door letterlijk monnikenwerk te verrichten lijken de werken van Rehm sacrale objecten te worden. Geïnspireerd door de selectiviteit van herinneringen heeft Rehm voor de expositie werken geselecteerd uit haar oeuvre die gemaakt zijn in verschillende tijden en toch verwijzen naar elkaar. Rehm: ‘‘Ik ben gefascineerd van het idee dat niets eeuwig is en alles permanent van vorm veranderd. Alles is “in der schwebe”- in en zwevende toestand.’’ Speciaal voor deze expositie ontwierp Rehm een museale installatie. Door haar werken te tonen rond een ontmanteld carrousel nodigt Rehm je uit om haar wereld binnen te treden.

Rehm is geboren in Duitsland te Halle. In 2006 studeerde zij af aan de Rietveld academie en behaalde ze haar BA in Fine Arts. In 2011 studeerde zij af voor haar MA aan het Sandberg instituut. Rehm’s grootste inspiratiebronnen zijn folkloristische vertellingen, tradities, archetypische figuren en de daaraan inherente symboliek en associaties. Nieuwsgierigheid en experimenteerdrift sturen Rehms artistieke ontwikkeling en zorgen voor haar veelzijdige materiaalgebruik. Rehm is te vinden is diverse museale, particulieren -en bedrijfscollecties. Zoals, Akzo Nobel Art Foundation (Amsterdam), Louis Vuitton (Asia) en Museum Arnhem.

ENG Totaliter Aliter has its origins in a medieval story about two monks who imagine paradise in the most beautiful colors. They promise each other that the one who dies first is going to appear to the other in a dream and speak only one word. Either "taliter" - it is as we imagined, or "aliter" - it's different than we imagined. After the first monk dies, he appears before the other and speaks the words, "Totaliter aliter!" - It is totally different!

Ulrike Rehm (b. 1976) shows her world full of ancient myths in the exhibition "Totaliter Aliter. Such as an image of the Lamb or by referring in her use of materials to ancient techniques such as encaustic, a technique that dates back to 1000 BCE. Rehm works with various materials such as textiles, paper, ceramics, porcelain, soap and beeswax. With those various materials she creates her installations and sculptures. By working with a lot of details Rehm's works look like sacred objects. Inspired by the selectiveness of memories, Rehm has selected for the exhibition works from her oeuvre that were made in different times and yet refer to each other. Rehm: ''I am fascinated by the idea that nothing is eternal and everything permanently changes form. Everything is "in der schwebe"-in and floating state.'' Especially for this exhibition, Rehm designed a museum installation. By displaying her works around a dismantled carousel, Rehm invites you to enter her world.

Ulrike Rehm was born in Germany in Halle. In 2006, she graduated from the Rietveld Academy and received her BA in Fine Arts. In 2011, she graduated for her MA at the Sandberg Institute. Rehm's greatest sources of inspiration are folkloric narratives, traditions, archetypal figures and their inherent symbolism and associations. Curiosity and experimentation drive Rehm's artistic development and inform her versatile use of materials. Rehm can be found in various private, museum and corporate collections. Such as, Akzo Nobel Art Foundation (Amsterdam), Louis Vuitton (Asia) and Museum Arnhem.
