THESES ON HOPE #16
Mark Barker: Are you more

with
Ramsay Dyke McClure
Keith Vaughan

12 September–16 November 2024
Opening: 11 September, 6–9pm

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).

Between Bridges is partner of Berlin Art Week. 

We look forward to welcoming you to the opening on 11 September between 6–9 pm.

Between Bridges Residency 2025

We are excited to announce Harry Hachmeister as the fifth recipient of the Between Bridges Residency for the period January - June 2025. 

Hachmeister is concerned with people, the conditions in which we live, our fears, desires, joys and sorrows, and above all the bodies we inhabit to appear in this world, their language and vulnerability. He explores these themes through a range of interdisciplinary works, from photography, drawing and painting to ceramics. He often arranges individual works into expansive installations that refer to states of no longer and not quite yet. Processes of transformation, the provisional and the in-between serve as the basis for Hachmeister's artistic exploration of identities, bodies and their attributions. His bodies do not feel bound by any supposed determination, but attempt to detach themselves from normative reality through ambivalence, softness and playfulness.
