THESES ON HOPE #16
Mark Barker: Are you more

with
Ramsay Dyke McClure
Keith Vaughan

12 September–17 November 2024

Extended Opening Hours: Wednesday to Sunday, 12noon – 6pm

Between Bridges Exhibition Space
Adalbertstraße 43
10179 Berlin

Between Bridges is delighted to present the first survey of Mark Barker’s multi-faceted practice. Barker’s work speaks of bodies, how they move, and how things move in and out of them. He articulates the experiences of living alone in a body, its mechanics, and its limits. For his exhibition at Between Bridges, Barker approaches the architecture of the space as a leaking breathing thing, sealing up existing perforations in the building’s internal membrane and introducing others. Are you more brings together a selection of drawing, sculpture, and photography from the past ten years with newly conceived works and site-specific installations. Alongside these, Barker includes works by British artists Keith Vaughan (1912–1977) and Ramsay Dyke McClure (1924–1981).

#17 Hervé Guibert
Screening and Book Launch

Tuesday, 5 November 2024, 7pm

Between Bridges
Ursuppe, entrance via:
Adalbertstraße 44
10179 Berlin

We warmly invite you for a special screening of Hervé Guibert's autobiographical documentary film La Pudeur ou l’Impudeur (1991) to celebrate the new English edition of Suzanne and Louise (Magic Hour Press). Publisher Jordan Weitzman will introduce both the film and the publication.

Suzanne and Louise, originally published in 1980, tells the story of two sisters, one widowed, the other never married, recluses in a hôtel particulier in Paris’s 15th arrondissement. Suzanne, the older one, controls the finances. Louise, a former Carmelite, serves as her humble, tyrannical maid. The author, who is also their great nephew, is one of the few who visits them. Mixing his writing with his photos, Hervé Guibert crafted a unique “photo novel,” reissued here for the first time with a full English translation by Christine Pichini, a new introduction by artist and writer Moyra Davey, and an account of the book’s origins by Thomas Simmonet.
