Seit über zweitausend Jahren erfreut sich die Palme im Morgen- und Abendland einer außergewöhnlichen Beliebtheit. Über Kontinente, Religionen und Kulturen hinweg erzählt sie Geschichten von Wohlstand, Frieden und Seelenheil. Kein anderes Motiv transportiert diese Glücksversprechen überzeugender als die Palme. Allgegenwärtig in der Werbung und den sozialen Medien beschwört sie in der säkularen Welt Vorstellungen von Luxus, Jetset und ewigen Sonnenschein herauf und repräsentiert ein modernes Paradies. Auch die bildende Kunst kann ihrem visuellen Reiz und ihrer metaphorischen Kraft nicht widerstehen. Vor diesem reichen kulturellen Hintergrund wird in der begleitenden Publikation zur Ausstellung »Paradise is Now« die vielseitige Darstellung von Palmen in der zeitgenössischen Kunst aufgezeigt: Was steht hinter der Popularität dieses Emblems und welche Bedeutungsebenen und Widersprüche offenbaren sich im Zuge der künstlerischen Auseinandersetzung?

Neben Texten von Bret Easton Ellis, Robert Grunenberg, Leif Randt und Norman Rosenthal versammelt die Publikation u.a. Werke von John Baldessari, Marcel Broodthaers, Rodney Graham, Secundino Hernández, David Hockney, Alicja Kwade,  Sigmar Polke, Ed Ruscha und Rirkrit Tiravanija.

Ausstellung: 26. April–30. Juni 2018, Ausstellungsräume Robert Grunenberg & Salon Dahlmann, Berlin

MARCEL BROODTHAERS (1924–1976) entwickelte seine Poèmes industriels simultan zu seiner grundlegenden Werkgruppe, dem Musée d’Art Moderne, Département des Aigles. Sie bilden ein wichtiges Element zur Erschließung seines fiktiven Museums, einem zentralen Werk der Institutionskritik.

Die in Berlin lebende Künstlerin ALICJA KWADE (*1979, Katowice, Polen) gehört zu den bekanntesten Künstlerinnen ihrer Generation und nimmt heute eine führende Stellung in der internationalen Gegenwartskunst ein.

ED RUSCHAS (*1937) ikonische Interpretationen der amerikanischen Gesellschaft machen ihn zu einem der wichtigsten Vertreter der amerikanischen Kunst des 20. Jahrhunderts. Seine Werke sind eng verknüpft mit kühl-eleganten Darstellungen von stilisierten Tankstellen, Leuchtreklame-Schildern und archetypischen Landschaften. Seit Beginn der 1960er-Jahre hat kaum jemand die Entwicklung der visuellen Kultur in und um L.A. so radikal wiedergegeben wie Ed Ruscha, der auch selbst dort lebt und arbeitet. Seine Motive sind inspiriert von dem Blick auf die Straße, von der Frontscheibe und der Kinoleinwand und geben so einen spürbaren Eindruck von dem großen, flachen Stadtraum mitten in der Wüste.

Just 1 toy!
Size: Medium
We have a big dog and a small dog. This is a perfect toy for both of them. However, my low rating comes from the seller. The ad description showed two balls for just under $15. (What a deal!). I received one ball….. and when I went to look back, it does in fact say much lower in the description “ you will receive one of these two color options” Generally, if they’re just showing you color, you have a choice in this case I did not have a choice and I find the post with two balls very deceiving! Five stars for the toy one star for the seller equals three stars

Better than the others
Size: Large
I was in search of a ball that would hold up after the brand I’d bought for years suddenly lasted less than a month. This one is almost 3 months in use. Some damage done after playing with it almost non-stop, but still going.

Aggressive chewers have met their match.
Size: 10.5 inch Rubber Flex Tread
We purchased this toy in 2022, it finally broke last night. Four years of rough play with 2 boxers who are aggressive chewers. They would tug together, gnaw on it for hours, and often leave it outside exposed to the elements, but this toy just kept going. It was by far their favorite toy, it kept them busy for hours. I just ordered a replacement. Well worth the money, perfect size. Highly recommend.

Durable, fun, and safe for my dog
Size: 10.5 inch Rubber Flex Tread
I have a 10 month old, 50 lb mutt who has the musculature of a pit bull and the muzzle of a GSD. Buttercup’s favorite past-time is shredding toys into teeny tiny bits, but sometimes those bits don’t come back out of her mouth. She can’t have tennis balls, stuffies, anything with a squeaker, silicone toys, plastic toys, rubber toys with spikes or small appendages, anything with rope, or most chews & bones. She chewed her first and only $8+ XL bully stick like a corn chip. Finding indoor enrichment is a challenge. Buttercup is extremely pleased with this tire tug thingy, it is very ergonomic for both her and me to get a handle on it, it has more movement than any other toy she can safely have, and it’s very durable. After more than a week, there’s only a little bit of tread missing, which is definitely the best-case outcome with a super chewer. I think this is a good alternative to GoNut toys because it’s solid & dense while also a little bit easier & more interesting to play with, and very unlike GoNuts, this Tonka toy is very reasonably priced. I also think this it’s a good size for almost any breed of dog—I could definitely picture a little Boston or Frenchie dangling from one end. Highly recommended!

Dog loves it
Size: 10.5 inch Rubber Flex Tread
I would buy this again and again. It’s extremely durable and has held up great with my 9 month old Saint Bernard puppy. We even call it his “pacifier” because every night he grabs it and chews on it until he falls asleep. Definitely a favorite in our house!
