Wladimir Timler and Friends
Vernissage at The MISSION:
Thursday May 16, 6 – 10 pm
Excited for this one! A tripple header show, with absolute Talent! Three young artists will exhibit their exciting work at The MISSION.
Wladimir Timler’s artistic vision revolves around the concept of harmony, where the synthesis of powerful and soothing colors and the interplay of light and shadow are some of the key elements in his works.
Wladimir creates a realm where tigers embark on transformative journeys, encountering popular objects from everyday life, such as puffer jackets and iconic design elements.
By immersing viewers in a surrealistic world, he invites them to explore their own inner harmony and subconscious.
Isyah Asher will present his mesmerizing canvases, which he taught himself autodidactically and quickly achieved commercial success. On large canvases, with a blend of 'modern pop art and expressionistic abstraction,' he employs a range of traditional techniques and merges them in a modern, experimental form.
Lando Kleeman Lando Klemann is an Kiel based artist and studies art at the “Muthesius Kunsthochschule“ in Kiel. His paintings are known for its figurative stylistic dynamics, which has a relation to interactions between high fashion models in surreal rooms.

Our second gallery location!
Since September 2023 we have two gallery locations with a gallery space at Kaiser-Wilhelm-Strasse 87 - just around the corner from The Ranch, our flagship store at Bäckerbreitergang 75. We are occupying both spaces simultaneously.
The new gallery, which we call THE MISSION, is at street level, has a total area of almost 250 sqm on two levels, has a large shop window and high walls, allowing for a different kind of curation and presentation.

Why do we call it The MISSION?
In the now completely renovated Art Nouveau building on Kaiser-Wilhelm-Strasse, the premises of the association "Die Mission – Artistic Measures Against the Cold" were located until 2003. The association, self-managed, provided warm drinks, food, a warm lounge, and meeting place for the homeless, along with a cultural program. This project originated from an initiative by the director and performance artist Christoph Schlingensief. In 1997, following a performance at the Deutsches Schauspielhaus, he, along with the ensemble, occupied a vacated police station near the main train station for seven days under the motto "Passion Impossible – 7 Days Emergency Call for Germany." The action aimed to create a meeting point for extremes, a space where the boundaries between rich and poor blur.
"The Mission" later relocated to Kaiser-Wilhelm-Strasse, and subsequently to Neustädter-Straße, from where it had to move out last year.
Before heliumcowboy could move into the new gallery spaces at Bäckerbreitergang 75 in 2010, we utilized an approximately 350 sqm area of "Die Mission" as storage, office, and occasionally as an event space for art activities (e.g., "Herr Fischer bittet zu Tisch"). Rumors suggest that in the basement, a secret boxing club led by Jörg Heikhaus existed for several years. However, these rumors are unconfirmed and cannot be verified today.
