Gallery 1

Archives of Desire
Elisabeth Bereznicki | Haein Cho | Leonard Fendler-Moser | Anas Kahal Ernestyna Orlowska | Jeremy Palluce | Katharina Rüll | Romy Yedidia

The group exhibition is based on the idea that waste is not just a by-product, but an engine of capitalism. The works presented turn discarded items into artistic material. They take up the seductive aesthetics of consumer goods and reveal their hidden attraction. Instead of idealizing nature or negatively evaluating garbage, the works focus on desire as the driving force of the capitalist system.

Karla Zipfel | Home Economics
Solo presentation

Starting with private homes and facade reliefs on savings banks, Karla Zipfel examines those surfaces in public space that are symbols of society's longing for prosperity and for values such as industriousness, thrift and social security.

What remains of the figure of the small saver who sought advice in suburban or village branches when savings banks close their branches? And what happens when the Federal Republic's promise of social advancement is broken down into "recession core" memes on social media?
