powerhouse
powerhouse is an energetic intervention by Nile Koetting. He charges the exhibition rooms of the former power station, which is now a cultural center, with new energy. Inspired by Freiburg’s nickname ‘solar city’, the artist addresses our relationship to sustainable energy, encouraging a critical appraisal of technical visions of unlimited growth and efficiency. The intervention […]
The Grass Above Us
After the start of the full-scale invasion in 2022, many artists began to show increased attention to the connection between human and non-human life. This turn is not purely aesthetic but carries a conceptual and philosophical dimension, reflecting a broader rethinking of the human position within the natural world. The concept of the exhibition The […]
Castles In The Sky
In Castles in the Sky, Donatas Norušis continues his ongoing exploration of sculpture and sound. As its point of departure, the exhibition takes the idea of subtle, unfelt earthquakes, attuned to a tension that unsettles before rupture. The central sonic element of the show and the title of the exhibition comes from his 2024 work […]
Utopía del lodo y sashimi de bruma
Twelve swings are at rest, arranged in an orderly fashion to form a circle. These long suspended structures generate a sense of strangeness due to their thorn ropes, whilst each individual structure serves as a seat for a different figure, alluding to a specific imaginary. The figures are made up of a wide range of […]
Household Items
Adam Žufníček’s exhibition takes its title from the experimental project Household Objects by Pink Floyd. In the 1970s, the musicians searched for new sonic possibilities in their immediate surroundings, and in this never-released project they replaced traditional musical instruments with ordinary household items. Similarly, Žufníček turns his attention to everyday objects, placing his assemblage works […]
Yet Untitled II – Julius Bobke
Yet Untitled II For the second part of his catalogue release, Julius Bobke takes over Kunsthalle Ost in Leipzig. With Yet Untitled II, he once again turns to his boxing gym – a place of physical confrontation, discipline, and social dynamics that is both a constant part of his daily life and central to his […]
Assimilation Complete: Autocatalytic Form Replication
The emergence of linguistic form remains largely unknown. As the origins of language (1) reach beyond reliable traces or documentation, and as their transparency—or accessibility to analysis—is bound up with the emergence of words themselves, with language that resembles our own enough to allow meaningful comparison, any attempt to construct a definitive timeline or account […]
Joy
I quit drinking a few months ago, because I had more work ahead of me than I could reasonably complete with a hangover. This fairly dramatic change in my diet had two notable consequences: I started eating far too much candy; and the emotion I had been (largely unbeknownst to me) drowning in wine started […]
The Ripple Effect
The Ripple Effect reflects how every act of extracting natural resources carries environmental and social consequences. The installation shows the proportions of how much earth must be mined to obtain 8 kilograms of copper. By transforming mining waste into ceramic tiles, it invites us to reflect on the hidden costs of extraction and how our […]
Delirism
In an age of constant acceleration, Delirism emerges as a small crack in the world. An exhibition that doesn’t reside in galleries, but unfolds in the sky, visible only when someone chooses to look up. The project is born from a desire to free thought from utility. To reclaim the right to daydream, to imagine, […]
