Test Time
Under the title Test Time, Kunstverein Bielefeld presents a survey of works by the artist collective Hedda Roman, specifically conceived for the institution. Running from August 30 to November 9, 2025, the show unfolds as a poetic-scientific experiment that explores the relationship between human consciousness and machine learning, while also reflecting on experiences of time.

Staged
Deep, Fake. Staged begins with the end of Kurt Cobain (specifically the 1991 album Nevermind), and starts with a drained, looping reality this “popular” and “rebellious” figure of the anti-rockstar leaves behind. Or sets into motion. “All of our” actions flattened along the warp-speed disappearing act of any possible dissent: <>* (The revolution is televised. […]
Speakers for the dead
Speakers for the dead [Palabreras de la muerte] explores possible ways of resurrecting people considered dead or missing. By placing themselves “in between” the living and the dead, the speakers show us that remembering is not only an exercise in memory, but also an action that involves a creative gesture: inventing, tracing a story and […]
Prattle Paintings
That’s what wealth is, he realized: To live in a house where all the tools of living are out of sight. (O.Vuong) What would be more explanation than my frazzled nerves. I see the pics now on the phone. First one, right in the hallway. Where is the focus? Is there? I stretch. The cup […]

Step 3. ????
Most times I just sit here and watch the birds. It’s mostly chickens, right here in the coop, but over there behind the willow, I’ve seen storks and there’s robins that walk around. Plenty robins. Time passes slowly here, you could almost hear it. Yes, it reminds you of that novel, Catch-22, but it’s not […]
ugly
Barbora Lepsi has created a series of monumental abstract paintings for the HYB4 Gallery exhibition space, works that directly respond to the venue and consistently develop her long-term theme of abstract expression. The resulting artworks are grounded in a confident gestural expression, spontaneity, and a precise sensitivity to composition and color. The presentation is an […]
Subterfuge
In an age where conspiracy theories and technological paranoia permeate discourse, the boundary between justified concern and irrational fear grows increasingly blurred. These three artists probe this territory by presenting works that embody mechanisms of deception and surveillance. Melle Nieling constructs an elaborate fiction around a film that never existed, crafting its material traces, such […]
If it’s purple, someone is gonna die
From richness to death, a shift not just in tone but in movement. Meaning bends when purple escapes the stillness of an image and begins to flicker, breathe, unravel. The exhibition carries purple from film into art, through the sensibilities and affective textures shaped by five artists. Five distinct readings of death, not always loud, […]
thank you for recording
thank you for recording opens up a space where the act of staging creates its own kind of truth. In the absence of solid ground, it is the persistence of questioning and reimagining that holds everything together. Recording in the context of the exhibition extends beyond video or audio. It is understood as a broader […]
