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 […]
Endless Roller Roaster
Endless Roller Roaster _ Till Hunger @Kunsthalle.Ost Leipzig In the final breaths of winter, as spring’s first three-days-on, three-days-off rhythm began to weave itself in, I was pedaling up Pannierstraße. Nothing felt out of place along this familiar artery that stitches Neukölln to Kreuzberg. Berlin, unlike New York, grants its residents mostly street-level sightlines; even […]
MATING MANUAL
What is social order, and how is it constructed? To look for answers, we must take a system of state management of the lives of citizens into consideration. One of them is related to reproduction, and in the following, sexuality. What helps keep these areas in check are schemes. Repetitive, unifying, commonplace, and, above all, […]
A Song Used to Lull a Child to Sleep
Against the backdrop of a world that never powers down, attention shifts to the disconnection between the individual and the structures of modern life. These are systems that infiltrate even our dreams, demanding presence, productivity beyond daylight hours. A Song Used to Lull a Child to Sleep creates a space to question and unravel our […]
