“HUMAN ELECTRICITY. RE:CONNECT” @ MaHalla
curated by Dr. Almut Cornelia Hüfler & Ralf Schmerberg

Lili & Jesko will set up their large-scale 20m wooden boat skeleton “The BOAT of JOY & LOVE” combined with their 10m high Childrens’ Action Painting Dhow Sail at MaHalla.

In Lamu, Kenya, at the end of their Action Painting Project, a group of children took off on a dhow with a sail made from one of their huge canvasses. Over the Lamu channel they cruised, with their paintings flapping brightly above them; images of cars, helicopters, stars and hearts flying through the air, like dreams thrown to the wind.

To Lili & Jesko the feeling of JOY & LOVE is the most beautiful, energetic flow & exchange of emotions. RE:CONNECTION, so to speak „HUMAN ELECTRICITY“ between human beings.
To indulge oneself into moments of JOY & LOVE is highly energizing — JOY, beautiful sparkle of the gods — boundless JOY.
Their Childrens’ Action Painting Project generates a constant exchange of boundless JOY between all of the participants.

The BOAT, mankind’s most ancient transport vehicle – a symbol of existence moving through time and space, a floating timeless sculpture — has been connecting people, islands and continents for more than 40,000 years.

Electricity is flowing energy – it’s everywhere, even in our bodies. Our cells are specialized in conducting electric currents. Without electricity, we couldn’t move, think or feel. For energy to flow, there needs to be some kind of connection, within our cells, and also in the social organism.

The five-day group exhibition “HUMAN ELECTRICITY. RE:CONNECT” at MaHalla during Berlin Art Week 2022 will be presenting 30 artists exhibiting painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, installation, performance & music.

MaHalla as a venue was the first three-phase power station in Germany, the place from where Berlin received the energy to replace the old gas lamps and electrify the streets. Founded by filmmaker and social activist Ralf Schmerberg in 2020 MaHalla is also an artistic project and a laboratory of shared experiences. We take the building’s history as a metaphor and aim to generate energy and light of inspiration for the people who arrive at our doors.

This August „Sommerfeld Manor“, tucked away in the magical countryside of Mecklenburg, close to the Baltic Sea and Stralsund, will be temporarly open to the public for the very first time!

For this temporarily Opening of „Sommerfeld Manor“, Christina & Knut invited the artist couple Lili & Jesko, well known for creating poetic and highly atmospheric installations inside run down old villas and manor houses, to work together on an exhibition in the morbid ambiance of „Sommerfeld Manor“.

Lili & Jesko’s contemplative art work will resonate with Christina’s delicate still lives. A magical setting of Lili & Jesko’s paintings, antique furniture, candlesticks and carefully placed, complementing individual pieces by Christina, will turn „Sommerfeld Manor“ into a complete art work „Gesamtkunstwerk“.

VERNISSAGE

Saturday August, 7th

The Danish/German couple Christina Ahlefeld-Laurvig & Knut Splett-Henning the owners of „Sommerfeld Manor“ are well known in Mecklenburg Vorpommern as the „Old Manor House Rescuers“.

In 2002 Christina & Knut bought their first manor house „Rensow Manor“, embedded in the Mecklenburg countryside, near the rural village of Rensow, when the manor was about to collapse.

The couple revived the baroque house and saved it from ruin. They renovated it very carefully with old clay bricks, floorboards from the attic and other materials that were as true to the original as possible and a lot of attention to detail.

Today both the family with their 3 children and their guests live here. You will find rooms full of antique furniture, candlesticks and old stoves, carefully placed, complementing individual pieces made of porcelain, metal or glass, shelves full of books.

In the meantime, the couple completed several of these old manor house transformational projects and since 2017 one ongoing project is „Sommerfeld Manor“. The first traces of this manor date back to the 14th century. Outside, the old manor house appears quite unadorned, however, inside you find wooden panels and plastering from the 18th and 19th century.

For the artist couple Lili & Jesko the morbid charm of „Sommerfeld Manor“ is the perfect setting to set their art work in scene.

KORNVERSUCHSSPEICHER ART LAB BERLIN
(WONDERLAND 2)

Kornversuchsspeicher
February, 22nd – June, 30th 2018
Heidestrasse 20c, 10557 Berlin, Germany

Lili & Jesko are part of the Art Lab at „Kornversuchsspeicher“. They are represented with their expansive installation „Following the Footprints of a Child’s Broken Heart“. Their installation is dealing with the theme of transgenerational trauma.

Lili’s mother, Ingrid von Seydlitz, born in 1934, was subjected to the ravaging effects of World War II. She was one of the 46 children banished from their home to Bad Sachsa, central Germany, after the failed attempted coup of July 20, 1944.

After 72 years, in August 2016, Lili travelled with her mother back to Bad Sachsa. Today, four of the original seven houses still exist. Mother and daughter had absolutely no contact for over 11 years due to the painful wounds and rejection that stood between them. The shared experience of returning to the place where such oppressive and traumatic events occurred, in many aspects was transformative for both of them. Thus, becoming a very touching and reconciliatory experience. For a long time, Lili was deeply aware that her motherʼs trauma from the war, tied her hands and closed her heart. Through physically being in Bad Sachsa together, Lili realized further how deeply a mother and daughter are subconsciously connected.

In 1995, during her intense work against sexual abuse and child sex abuse, Lili created one object „Circumstantial Case 1-45“, not knowing, that 46 children had been banished to Bad Sachsa. Even in her works with old doll houses she could find a connection to the seven houses of Bad Sachsa in which the „Children of Bad Sachsa“ had been imprisoned.

With their installation at Kornversuchsspeicher, Lili & Jesko hope to encourage the dialogue between generations, especially between war children and grandchildren in Germany.

Participating artists at Kornversuchsspeicher:
Lili & Jesko, Fiona Bennett, Amir Sinai Weisglass, Hans Peter Adamski, Alexander von Schlieffen, Mia Florentine Weiss, Jan Kuck, Johannes Vetter, Daniele Sigalot. Curated by Michéle Victor Adamski in collaboration with Bernheimer Contemporary Berlin and Collection Leo Kuelb New York.

 Taste the Future Art Collection

London The Gallery of the German Embassy
September, 26th – November 2017
34 Belgrave Square, London SW1, United Kingdom

Lili & Jesko are part of the „Taste the Future Art Collection” which has its third exhibition out of Venice at the Gallery of the German Embassy in London.

Taste the Future has already been exhibited in Venice, Miami and Paris. The exhibition features works by 29 international artists from 15 countries who first met while participating in the exhibition “Personal Structures” during the 56th Venice Biennale, 2015. The artists were asked to make a unique artwork with just one condition: it should fit in a “pizza box”

Lili & Jesko are part of the “Taste Future Art Collection” with two objects: “Cabinet of Hope” and „Cabinet of Mourning“. To express their deep sorrow and mourning over the loss of their beloved portrait “Burmese Boy Indein Market” – the smallest of twelve paintings – which was stolen from their expansive installation in Room #5 at Palazzo Bembo at the very start of the 56th Venice Biennale. They created a four piece dedication: a “Mourning Display”, a „Moments of Mourning“ video and, in a pizza box, they made the “Cabinet of Mourning“ and „Cabinet of Hope”.
