Shop

A candy shop by Anna Paul with Ayami Awazuhara, Lisa Edi, Christian Hoffelner, Karl Karner, Kristiane Kegelmann, Lukas Mraz, Sarah Oos, Giuseppe de Mattia and Paul Riedmüller. The Viennese artist Anna Paul runs Shop at ACRE — showing her faux fruit collection and selling the favourite candy of artists and chefs she invited to participate. Shop will be open and on view until 19th of May, Wednesday–Monday from 3 to 7 pm at ACRE Studios (@acrestudios.cc) at Skalitzer Str. 54 B in Berlin. Anna Paul has been concerned with the economics of art for several years. Shop is a continuation of her long-time project Meeting Basic Needs, where she uses the context of the farmers market to sell art editions made from food. ACRE is located in a former candy store. A context Paul uses to show recent aluminum works and a shop display she conceived for her candy store. She invited her fellow artists Lisa Edi (@lisaedi) and Paul Riedmüller (@paulriedmüller) to show still-lifes and Sarah Oos to bring flowers. The artists and chefs Kristiane Kegelmann (@Kristianekegelmann) and Lukas Mraz (@lukas_mraz) produced special candies for the exhibition. Ayami Awazuhara @wolke_be and Karl Karner (@karnerkarl) will take part in culinary events at the Shop, Christian Hoffelner (@ch____studio) made custom dessert plates and Giuseppe de Mattia (@giuseppe_de_mattia) altered an Italian candy icon. upcoming Events: April 27 Book Launch: Anna Paul – Sieben Zwetschken eds.
