Donna Ong
Donna Ong collects everyday objects. In her object installations she transforms these into their own meaningful narrative context, thereby showing them in a new light – in the literal sense of the word. In The Forest Speaks Back in Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Ong develops her own landscape portrait of the tropical rain forest using an accumulation of […]
Carla Zaccagnini
The series Impossible but Necessary comprises a range of works produced between 2010 and 2013 which investigate the unstable balance between desire and frustration inherent in any attempt to communicate an experience verbally or visually. Zaccagnini realised her project at the monumental site of the Soviet cenotaph in Berlin-Treptow, which was built in 1949. The […]
Window Display
Yves Netzhammer, * 1970 in Schaffhausen, lives and works in Zurich (Switzerland). Peripheries of bodies is the second part of a triptych that shows a linearly progressive, yet simultaneously multi-dimensional cadavre exquis. Animated spaces, fuzzy locations and faceless bodies ceaselessly tumble out and fuse along their de-functionalized surface boundaries, which seem to acknowledge neither conventional […]
Jörg Mandernach
Jörg Mandernach uses his own materials for his work but also images that originate from a different context – already conveyed in different media. Mandernach is a collector whose working method is predominantly one of collage and montage. He experiments with the existing material and transfers it by means of drawing or painting into a […]

In his photos he investigates places, memories and the nostalgic means […]
Saskia Noor van Imhoff
Zooming in and out, resizing, translating and unfolding, it’s only a short list of the associative formal system that Saskia Noor van Imhoff applies to existing artworks and artifacts. Hereby she allocates them a new place in her landscapes composed of sculptural objects and photographs. In # +15.00 – Impossible to apply reason to what […]
Asako Shiroki
In her artistic work, which generally takes the form of sculptures and installations, Asako Shiroki operates between functionalism and abstraction. The sculptural structures of her works first draw the viewer’s attention by appropriating the dimensions and shapes of everyday objects such as furniture items, frames and pavements. However, their functionalism is consistently broken by the […]
Window Display
Ulrich Vogl, born in Kaufbeuren (Germany) in 1973, is based in Berlin. The expression “extension of drawing”, already the title of an exhibition and a publication, can be considered the leitmotiv of Ulrich Vogl’s artistic practice. While Vogl’s overall concern would be the “extension of drawing”, his focus over the past few years has been on […]
