Ramiro Guerreiro
Ramiro Guerreiro is presenting his most recent works under the programmatic heading Austerity – International Style – Spring/Summer 2016. They continue to examine central aspects of his creative production to date. The focus of his works lies on (urban) space – in particular with respect to the human body, architecture, and their interaction in social, […]
Bodil Furu
In her films Bodil Furu makes use of the language of documentary realism, linking timeless human questions with current themes such as globalization, destruction of the environment, and the mediation of reality. Furu is primarily concerned with “psychosocial aspects”, the individual’s personal experiences in face of far-reaching environmental and social problems. The exhibition in Künstlerhaus […]
Patrik Elgström
Patrik Elgström is a photographer who finds his motifs during walks in his immediate environment, which he investigates with the camera and maps out subjectively. The starting point for his recent work is a focus on “things in the way”, which block the view: instead of classic motifs like landscape views, Elgström photographs architectural structures […]
Jenny Magnusson
Jenny Magnusson works with sculpture and installations, whereby space and place are the decisive factors in her development of a work. She uses everyday materials and things that she finds, borrows or acquires, incorporating them into the exhibition space in a process of exchange with people and places from her surroundings. Here, she always looks […]
Benyamin Reich
Benyamin Reich is showing three photographic works under the heading Backwards, which are being presented for the first time as a single unit. In each of the pieces Reich works with the motif of a subtle ‘sanctity’, taking up the biblical notion that the divine is not discernible face to face but only when looking […]
Window Display
The constantly revolving minimal compositions of metafurnish stir up our ways of seeing: Physical properties like gravity, loose their meaning. Reflections reveal invisible elements of their sculptural construction or objects disappear ghost-like, while preserving their influence on the spatial structure. The suspenseful optical illusions question a value system of digitally constructed commercial images, which generates […]
Passion
Youth culture is known to manifest itself in a variety of ways. One of its most appealing forms of commonality is fandom: young people feeling aligned with any of the subcultures whose cohesion relies primarily on a fixation with a sports team or popular entertainment (music, film, TV, Internet, digital gaming culture, fashion, literature, comics) […]
Olaf Brzeski
Olaf Brzeski investigates the relations between the human figure and sculptural form in a complex and equally sensitive way, involving a play of organic and inorganic materials. Heterogeneous experiential dimensions of heaviness and lightness, durability, stability and longevity on the one hand, and instability and decay on the other shape many of his works by […]
Youki Hirakawa
A play of the visible and the invisible dominates Youki Hirakawa’s works. He works in the media film, video and photography, but also with objects. One continuing theme is the way in which the human eye sees and observes. In many works he uses our brain’s ability to complete incomplete projections, so that despite missing […]
