Kerstin Brätsch Work from her oeuvre. “Obfuscating the divisions between traditional media, Brätsch’s installations feature large oil paintings and three-dimensional units, such as magazine and poster racks. The posters and zines both advertise and remix corresponding paintings. This strategy extends to the collective Das Institut, the performance group It’s Our Pleasure to Serve You, and […]

Timm Ulrichs Work from his oeuvre. “In 1959, he established the ‘Werbezentrale für Totalkunst, Banalismus und Extemporismus’ [Central Advertising Agency for Total Art, Banalism, and Extemporality] and thus began to extend a hitherto limited notion of art. Based on the idea of the readymade, and above all on Kurt Schwitters’ Merzkunst, he takes up the artistic project of […]

Erik Van Der Weijde Work from Der Baum. “Der Baum shows 44 photographs of trees, taken by Van der Weijde over the past few years. The list of places where the photographs were taken includes different locations in Europe and Brazil. Their descriptions range from specified historical sites, such as the elementary school Adolf Hitler […]

Viktoria Binschtok Work from her oeuvre. “In her image cycles Viktoria Binschtok traces the paradoxes of daily life – sometimes she observes the accumulation of the trade mark LVNY in our urban street setting, sometimes she reveals the traces of an ever increasing need based community at the job center or points to the separation […]

Annika Rixen Work from her Sciences of Observation. “Rixen’s work frequently employs a process of abstraction based on historical research that stems from her background in photography; distilling concrete materials through a series of formal experiments and conceptual filters. For this recent body of work, Rixen has used a book by 19th century scientist John […]

Jörg Sasse Work from his oeuvre. “‘I would never place a work in the public domain that I myself couldn’t stand in front of and be amazed.’ Jörg Sasse finds nothing more dubious than straightforward answers as, to his mind, this flies in the face of the fact that reality is far more complex and […]

André Hemstedt & Tine Reimer Work from Konstruktion von Bewegung (Construction of Movement) “On the actions and perceptions of people in an equilibrium system Denotes the equilibrium state, the balance in the forces acting on a system with each other. This state remains stable as long as he is not disturbed by external influences. The […]

Mirko Martin Work from Noir – video (here). “The video documents a night in my Los Angeles neighborhood during a half-year stay in 2008. Monitoring gang activity, police helicopters circled the neighborhood on a regular basis. On a particularly noisy night, I went out to capture some sound. Within minutes, I heard gunshots. Over a black […]

Album Magazin Work from Album #2 Same/Same. “Album #2 examines the question of the singularity of photographs: How new and unseen can pictures still be today? Which artistic possibilities lie in the doubling of motifs? Which concepts play with repetition and recognition? With »Same/Same«, we curated positions of photographic and theoretical works dealing with the […]

Marina Weigl Work from The Horse and I. “My work is a metamorphosis of memories and emotions. It is like a poem and tries to use poetic imagery to visualize a feeling of lightness. Creatures between dream and reality are presented. I have tried to create a state of intoxication, of adventure, curiosity, something of […]
