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 […]
