Stephan Kaluza
Since its fall in 1989, the Berlin Wall has been dismantled systematically, apart from a few negligible remains. An international symbol of division, the ‘Wall’ as such has disappeared – today it exists only in people’s memories. Stephan Kaluza walked the full 50 km of this more or less immaterial site of remembrance, along the […]

Andreas Schulze is presenting “U.S. TRILOGY I, Vegas”. The series of inkjet prints made in 2006/07 is based on collective images and subjective narration, but evades any obvious orientation on a plot. No story is told here; it is more a matter of dissolving concrete structures of action and – in relation to this to […]
Zuspiel
As we begin using our new exhibition rooms, Christoph Tannert, CEO and artistic director, has developed a new format that suggests itself for a series of exhibitions, intending to make a direct visual connection between exhibition contributions by guests of the International Studio Programme at the Künstlerhaus and current positions which are not part of […]
Anouk Kruithof
Anouk Kruithof’s latest photo series “Becoming Blue” comprises 21 portraits and three spatial stills. They are presented in different formats and reveal Kruithof’s highly exceptional approach to the topic of portrait photography. First, the artist addressed those people that she found most individual and particularly expressive and persuaded them to participate in a photo session […]
Karen Yasinsky
In her video films, Karen Yasinsky makes use of the technical efforts involved as a means of insight: the complex techniques of animation are a welcome instrument with which to become more deeply engrossed in the characters. First the artist makes the figures and sets herself and then films them using a portable camera with […]

Here, Can Altay presents the second issue of his continuing newspaper project “Ahali: a journal for setting a setting”, a publication that concerns artistic and site-related practices in connection with various aspects of urban society. Visitors are given the […]
Sophia Tabatadze
Sophia Tabatadze is concerned with political and social events that lead to change – often radical and sudden – in the life circumstances of those people affected. Above all, she documents and reflects on those changes that have been experienced by the inhabitants of her home country Georgia in the recent phase of its chequered […]
Pia Lindman
Pia Lindman’s creative work belongs to the tradition of minimalist performance and collective art, with a particular focus on the inherent performative aspect of art production. Starting out from site-specific conventions and customs, Lindman investigates social, political and economic conditions. Lindman describes her latest project, “Herr Puntila – spiritual journeys”, as a “participatory performance, video […]
Christian Niccoli
Christian Niccoli’s artistic work examines situations and patterns of behaviour within different social groups, focusing on the interaction between individuals. Niccoli works with photography and video, and he always stages his themes with great precision, employing professional actors. His films do not copy reality, therefore; they represent it in an abstract and metaphorical way. In […]
Falkenrot Prize 2008
With their strong, bright colours and grid-like pictorial structure, Torben Giehler’s paintings and drawings automatically remind the viewer of digitally created realms like those familiar to him from computer games, flight simulators or CAD animations. In more recent works, Giehler has rejected his earlier motifs’ orientation on digitally generated models of urban landscapes and turned […]
