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 […]

Manuela Homm
Manuela Homm works with a wide variety of materials such as glass, ceramics, wood and concrete. Melting, casting and firing are her favorite processing techniques.

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:
Study Center for Artists’ Legacies Saxony-Anhalt 2024-2026
The BBK Saxony-Anhalt has been observing the problems of dealing with artistic bequests and estates for many years.

ilka Leukefeld
Visually guided to the day before ‘becoming conscious’, we see wild creatures. a nature untouched by man with clear air, unsealed landscapes and waters without plastic particles. This place of idyllic thoughts harbors carefully guarded hopes like seeds that have become rare. The work is on display: “I/II There used to be a paradise (with […]
Katharina Stark
The “Sunset” group of works tells of the loss of lightness, of contaminated paradises and unsuccessful displacement. Destruction is immanent in the newly created – decay permeates the material. Kitschy elements are reminiscent of untroubled dreams of times gone by.
