HUMAN INSIDE,

An exhibition of painting, sculpture and performance by Brooklyn based artist Michael Conroy.

Exploring the totality of this concept through these different mediums and pushing the viewer to reconcile with every sense.

Behind all art is a human that is drawing from ones self and others around them. To look at art is to look at a human. Conroy wants not only to look at the human figure but also engage with habitat, physical space, location and occupation.

Exploring these elements that cause us to have a perception or judgment about what type of human may fill that role or live in that space.

The questions posed; Can we challenge ourselves to dig deeper into the essence of humanity? Can we not apply our predisposed assumptions of gender, identity, class and all social components that hold us in a place to make one’s surface the determining factor of who we think they are?

Through paintings, sculpture and performance , using recognizable phrases, objects and materials it forces these questions to be experienced in multiple ways, mirroring our social interactions. Calling for connectivity and empathy. To look at the internal before external.

OUTSIDE IN – Group Show
with 44Flavours, Birgit Hoelmer, Nomad, Stohead and Various & Gould 
Duration: 21.01.– 06.03.2022
Opening: Thursday 20.01.2022, 7–10 pm (FB-Event)

Kanya&Kage Art Space
Eisenbahnstraße 10, 10997 Berlin–Kreuzberg

This Thursday, January 20th, the group show “Outside In” opens at Kanya&Kage Art Space in Berlin-Kreuzberg. We are happy to exhibit together with five very appreciated Berlin Urban Art companions of the last two decades:

Freestyle maestro Nomad already inspired us back in the early 2000s, and we met the wonderfully colorful artist duo 44Flavours soon after. Stohead's calligraphies with his unmistakable handwriting we got to know in the middle of it all through Jan “Yaneq” Kage, the curator of this exhibition. And Birgit Hoelmer's filigree adhesive works on empty shop windows we discovered only a few years ago and felt a fascination like in the early street art days: Wow, what is that? How on earth was that done? And above all, who made it?
