Art Cologne GALLERY NEWS Stills Gallery is no longer operating its gallery space in the 2 Danks Street complex in Waterloo. We have enjoyed our time there greatly, but are now consolidating our efforts in one space so that we may focus on more international activities. These include this year's ArtCologne, which runs from 28 October to 1 November, where you can find us in Hall 10.2 at stand B005.
 


ANNE NOBLE
PHOTOGRAPHIC FAMILY - NEUER BERLINER KUNSTVEREIN
3 September - 16 October 2005
Noble's Ruby's Room and In My Father's Garden are part of a group show at the Neuer Berliner Kunstverein. The exhibition was curated by art critic Ulf Erdmann Ziegler, and combines Noble's work with that of three German photographers, Jenü Gindl, Peter Hendricks and Reinhard Matz. All four artists use family as both the subject of their work and a metaphor for broader topics.

Concurrently with this exhibition, Ruby's Room will also be on display at the Spielhaus Morrison Gallery, also in Berlin. The exhibition, Irrelevant Relations, pairs Noble with gallery artist Espen Eichhoefer. View Portfolio
