Event: You Are Here
Dates: 27 May 2021 - 9 Jun 2021
Under the title ‘It may sound utopian’, DISKURS Berlin launches the second round of the Exhibition-Relay in 2021 to attract, select, and provide an opportunity to artists, curators, and creative individuals. This project is specifically designed to be viewed through the windows of DISKURS Berlin as our doors remain closed. With the exhibitions changing every two weeks, this fast-paced exhibition program aims to support the art scene to fight back against the COVID-19 crisis.
Event: Neukölln Stories
Dates: 1 Nov 2020 - 30 Nov 2020
LiTE-HAUS & nomadicArt collaborated on a project that explores the shopkeepers of Neukölln, Berlin - pairing them with local artists. This video shows the culmination of months of work between the artists and shopkeepers, to create a diverse exhibition that reflects the cultural richness of the "kiez".
Event: Blind Date
Dates: 7 Sep 2019 - 1 Nov 2019
For our group exhibition in autumn 2019, all photographers were invited who have a personal connection to the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district. The district as birthplace, center of life, studio location or distant memory. The final selection of photographers will focus on dedicated long-term projects as well as highly conceptual series that impress with their extraordinary aesthetics
Event: Public, Private and In-Between
Dates: 2 Aug 2019 - 1 Sep 2019
The notions of Public and Private are complex, as they relate to multiple aspects of our lives, and affect us by forcing a constant decision-making process that dictates our conditions of safety. What is public, and what is private, becomes anissue of binary opposites when there is an obscure and confusing area that lies in between. Are public and private separate, or can they be the same? Who is able to draw the distinction? What is at stake when defining private and public? Is this all related to safety; and if so, of whom?
In this exhibition artists Funda Zeynep Ayguler, Ioana Butloc, Lionel Cruet, Marcel Everling, Francesco Gioacchini, Jeremy Knowles, Valentina Michelini and Marie-Charlotte Nouza created an art installation that reminds us of the living environment, challenging the notion of private and public and what lies in between by engaging with an interactive, thought provoking space that aims to find new ways to discuss and make visible these issues.
Event: Anxiety & Minimalism
Dates: 3 May 2019 - 5 May 2019
‘Clean your room and you'll have a fresh start, it’s easier to breathe. Get rid of the clutter. In your room, in your closet, in your mind. You have less. You have enough. There is less that distracts you. There is less that you need to worry about. The minimum remains. It calms you. Focus only on what is necessary. On what really matters.’
- Darta Treimane, Curator
Biography
Since 2016 Jeremy has been based in Berlin, where his practice has developed into a playful photographic study of urbanism and the everyday. Jeremy’s images draw patterns and humour from the randomness and repetitive non-events that characterise the mundane within our lives – the overlooked and often unnoticed aspects of our existence that make us human. By bringing greater prominence and visibility to the accidental, the miraculous and the comical, we are challenged by Jeremy’s projects and photo series to reconsider the weight of our daily interactions with things and people, and meditate on what happens when we think nothing is happening.
Jeremy regularly exhibits his photographic and installation work between institutions in Berlin and London. His work has also been included in group shows in China, Russia and the USA.
In 2018 Jeremy was shortlisted for BLOOOM Award in Germany. In 2019 he took part in the artist-in-residence program In-Between #4 at Green Hill Gallery, Berlin, and was later shortlisted for the Signature Art Prize in London. Throughout 2020 Jeremy participated in a number of collaborative art projects - Neukölln Stories (coordinated by nomadicArt in Berlin), Tools Without Rules (Kaliningrad) and In-Between #5 (Berlin). Earlier in 2020 Jeremy was shortlisted for the Verzasca Foto Awards in Switzerland and, more recently, awarded the ReA! Art Prize in Milan. Also in 2020, Jeremy was published in Fresh Eyes - New European Photography.
