Veronika Kaiping
“INTERIOR VIEWS” In April, the BBKarium Dessau is all about our inner life. Artist Veronika Kaiping makes visible what we don’t normally see – the organs that work inside us and the emotions that move us. Body maps and emotional beings provide humorous insights in which the physical and the spiritual exist side by side. […]
Foyer des Arts – The art salon with Roman Pliske on “estates”
What remains of an artist’s inner life? And what happens to an artistic legacy if no descendants preserve it or archives reach their limits? These questions are on the minds of many artists – because the concern that works will be lost contrasts with the growing importance of documenting and making visible one’s own artistic […]

Marie Mandalka
Mandalka’s garbage reliefs attract attention with their organic aesthetics and haptics. Memories of skin and anthropological traces unfold a fascinating effect. By using recycled, cut-up packaging waste that shimmers through under layers of latex in kilim structures, these works focus on themes such as the use of resources, political communication, interaction and effectiveness. Further information […]

Korvin Reich
Several levels come together in his “flying objects”: Force fields, maps, elements from mathematics and physics. The perception of the spiritual world materializes. Free, intuitively set forms are surprisingly combined with fixed processes. Reich’s hand drawings are often mistaken for prints of computer graphics – calling his own perception into question. Further information about the […]

Friedrich Hensen
Friedrich Hensen works intermedially. He works in social, artistic and non-material spaces, which he summarizes with the socio-philosophical term “traversing the spheres”. This results in site-specific installations, performances and multimedia works consisting of texts, sounds and poetry or socio-cultural projects, such as the Bürgertheater Zeitz. Friedrich Hensen:
Sabine Brauns
In my exhibition “13“, I am showing works that reflect on the articles of the UN Convention on Human Rights of 1948 and the disregard for them. More precisely, the focus is on Articles 1 and 3. The former recognizes the inviolability of every human being’s dignity. It should be the foundation for ethical behavior […]
