Lea Porsager
Porsager develops her works from occult theories and spiritual practices, which she applies to question normative ways of thinking and the limits of human knowledge. Transformative rituals and meditative techniques play a part in her works, and her artistic position is expressed via a kind of cult symbolism, with no desire to explain truths or […]
Window Display
On first sight, the video work Rooms resembles the visual experience of early computer graphics, however it is part of the eternal return of digital technologies. With every wave of technological simplification, from supercomputers to smart phones, it reaches a broader audience, turning formerly incomprehensible usage metaphors into something self-evident. Ludy has a masterful understanding […]
Mikko Rikala
In Ten Weeks by the Sea, Mikko Rikala invites us to accompany him on the personal voyage of discovery he undertook in Finland during summer 2014. For the exhibition at Künstlerhaus Bethanien he has developed a series of works examining the fixation of the past, as well as enabling us to experience the complex relations […]
Tanja Koljonen
Tanja Koljonen’s artistic position is articulated from within a play of image and text fragments, which she contrasts in order to open up new, associative spheres of meaning. Her working method is predominantly one of collage, montage and assemblage, which – as special cutting techniques – can convey different levels and styles of image/language simultaneously. […]

The subconscious of the psyche is enacted in working practice and materialises in the work itself. For the exhibition Bedded-Down Knot in Künstlerhaus Bethanien, the concept of boundaries is extremely […]
Kaori Yamashita
Kaori Yamashita’s installations incorporate specific features of the current spatial surroundings and encompass a variety of artistic media: three-dimensional drawings, small-format sculptures, drawings on paper, photographs, objects constructed from mortar and papier-mâché, or wall tiles. One frequently recurring motif is structures reminiscent of constellations of bricks: those elementary, omnipresent components of architecture, which may stand […]
Sandra Boeschenstein
The immediacy of drawing is an important premise in Sandra Boeschenstein’s work: it is a precondition to “the simultaneous traversal and observation of the transitions between perception and thought” (Boeschenstein), in which the artist is mainly interested. She works with images as her primary tool of insight when searching for alternatives to a static concept […]
Window Display
In Qu’est ce que c’est la maturité, the artist Manuel Graf examines different modes of action and angles of perspective across seemingly unrelated object arrangements. Fluctuating between archaeological architectural models, surreal mobiles as well as hyperactive toys, these are unified into a sober presentation that is reminiscent of a movie set. In this neutralizing setting […]
