Marie Zolamian
Marie Zolamian’s artistic work examines questions of individual and collective identity. Her works question the significance of belonging to a specific territory or community, and the social and spatial conditions that form a mentality. Zolamian, who paints and draws primarily, but also uses other media if necessary, succeeds in capturing those fleeting moments that shape […]
Jasper Sebastian Stürup
Freehand drawing is characteristic of Jasper Sebastian Stürup’s artistic practice: he always works intuitively without producing a sketch beforehand, and develops the drawing from sequences and labyrinthine linking of elements. In addition to his preferred medium of drawing, he also works with artist’s books, painting, video and sculpture. Stürup’s drawings create picture worlds of delicate, […]
Erina Matsui
Erina Matsui’s artistic practice is based on self-portraits, a genre that she sounds out in a very characteristic way before the background of the kawaii aesthetics so omnipresent in her home country Japan. Matsui’s paintings open up to the viewer through many surprising details and create imaginative worlds, in which cosmic myriads of stars, creatures […]
Sharon Houkema
Sharon Houkema’s artistic work explores the various mechanisms with which the world is perceived and reflected. In her latest project, the title of which takes up and adapts a Greenpeace slogan, Houkema directs her attention towards the idea of environmentalism and illuminates it from artistic vantage points by focusing on the images and narrative structures […]
Aiko Tezuka
Starting out from a realization that the constructs and structures upon which things are based usually remain hidden and what lies on top is always all that is visible to the observer, Aiko Tezuka undertakes to reveal concealed structures in time-consuming manual work – a process that the artist also sees metaphorically with respect to […]
Hyein Lee
Hyein Lee is a painter whose works represent people, objects and landscapes from the perspective of the processual and the passage of time. In the exhibition Sketch Book the artist will be showing new painterly snapshots, a large number of mainly small-format paintings, the motifs of which she tracked down outside – at the interface […]
Joris Van de Moortel
Joris Van de Moortel is concerned with architecture as an important medium of our mental and physical experiences of space. Besides musical performances, he creates assemblages, which often resemble stage sets or the remains of a performance. For his generally large-scale installation works, Van de Moortel uses pedestals, walls and boxes or a number of […]
Klaus Hähner-Springmühl
Klaus Hähner-Springmühl (1950 – 2006), was one of East Germany’s most idiosyncratic artists. From the 1970s onwards, he was a radical performer who experienced and documented his life as an art process, not on the sunny side of the socialist establishment but shoulder to shoulder with the rebels of his generation in Karl-Marx-Stadt, Dresden, Leipzig […]
FLYING
FLYING is a climate killer. Every plane journey that can be avoided protects the environment. More than 60 artists were asked to lend wings to their ideas for the exhibition FLYING, among them many former fellowship holders at Künstlerhaus Bethanien. There was no prescribed minimum altitude. The emerging group of works is correspondingly free – […]
Constantinos Taliotis
Constantinos Taliotis researches the special features of particular film genres, e.g. gangster and espionage films, film noir and science fiction, and appropriates these features in his works to create his own filmic narratives. He analyzes not only the actors’ gestures and the specifics of costume, lighting and set design but also the way in which scarcely perceptible […]
