Today starts the exhibition “Inside a Screensaver” by Martin Groß! After his solo exhibition in 2016 at EIGEN + ART Lab, this will be his first solo exhibition as gallery artist at Galerie EIGEN + ART Leipzig.

Stef Heidhues was born in in Washington D.C. in 1975 and studied Visual Arts at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste (HFBK) Hamburg with Franz Erhard Walther. She lives and works in Berlin. In her artistic work, Stef Heidhues develops spatial situations that are inspired from the theater. The starting point of her work are everyday objects and the confrontation with public and social spaces. In her spatial installations she relates sculptures and wall objects in a process of appropriation, alienation, reduction and deconstruction, and groups them into accessible, multi-layered spatial images. In this way she creates a tableau vivant without people with contradictions and voids, in which the viewers find themselves in a field of tension between proximity and distance, the abstract and the concrete.

Today starts the new solo exhibition by Stef Heidhues „Backstage with the Modern Dancers“ at our gallery space in Berlin. The show presents new installations dealing with the theme of the backstage area and therefore questioning topics like authenticity and a form of „realness“. The works support this approach of „no acting-as-if“ with the minimalistic aesthetics of the artist. From today 5pm, there will be a virtual tour through the exhibition online on our website. #linkinbio The exhibition is on view until March 20, so hopefully there will be also the chance to visit it in our rooms! @stefheidhues @larissa_kikol #backstage #moderndancers #galerie_eigenart #stefheidhues #berlin Photos: Uwe Walter, Berlin 
To conclude the exhibition “unfollow” by the Berlin artist Raul Walch at Galerie EIGEN + ART Berlin there will be an online performance today from 6pm, on view on our homepage and here, on Instagram. Until tomorrow, Saturday, February 6, 2021, the exhibition will remain visible through our display window in Berlin. @raulwalch #unfollow #online #performance #highlowandinbetween #slowdown 
Until February 20 the solo show “Final Call” with the eponymous film by Birgit Brenner is on view at Galerie EIGEN + ART Leipzig. On occasion of this exhibition, a talk between the artist and the gallery director @elke.hannemann took place, which is now on view on our website with English and Mandarin subtitles. While watching the talk, you'll get a great insight into the film and his effect within our rooms in Leipzig.

„I've always described my two-dimensional works as „stills". Now, I'm placing these stills one after another instead of next to one another. What's the result? What does this change? I like that a film functions as a further expansion, enabling me to tell even more. It liberates me from spatial limitations and allows me to open up wildly disparate worlds." Next to the Birgit Brenner's 32-minute film „Final Call“, which she made during her residency at Villa Massimo, the artist is presenting works on paper through which she also addresses the grave social consequences of the alienation of today's homo sapiens and the rapidly accelerating destruction of the world. The show runs until February 20, 2021 at Galerie EIGEN + ART Leipzig.

„Spitting In A Wishing Well“ and „Leave It Under Ground“ are two of a number of serigraphies from the Berlin based artist Raul Walch. His solo show is „now on view“ until February 6 at Galerie EIGEN + ART Berlin. Come by at our shop window to get a glimpse and see his video work "No One To Follow". We will keep you posted about further insights on Instagram and Facebook and of course on our website. „The Screen-printed works on paper call out “steal this flag” or “leave it underground,” but, in the end, they are purely poetic. There is no obvi- ous reaction to be beckoned from the viewer beyond contemplative awareness. The utopian, post-nation- state, or climate-driven dreams are given a place of permanence in that thought-space as they are pressed down in ink.“ Extract from the exhibition text from @kate__brown #raulwalch #unfollow #spittinginawishingwell #leaveitunderground #berlin @raulwalch 
Yesterday, on the occasion of Raul Walch’s solo exhibition „unfollow“ at Galerie EIGEN + ART Berlin, there was a screening in public space of his video work „No One To Follow“ and his performance at Museumsinsel with his white flag. On February 5 there will be another performance in public space, so stay tuned! #raulwalch #unfollow #publicspace #art #whiteflag #noonetofollow @raulwalch 
On January 7, Raul Walch’s first solo exhibition started at Galerie EIGEN + ART Berlin. “For this recent body of work in the show “unfollow”, Walch introduces elements from his recent travels in Europe into distinct works that hang together in what the artist has described as a multiverse.” @kate__brown To watch the full length video “No One To Follow”, please come to our gallery window at Auguststraße 26 or on Friday, January 15, from 6pm around Hackescher Markt in Berlin.

Due to the current situation, exhibitions can not be opened as expected. Therefore, the video work „Final Call“ by Birgit Brenner will be on view on our homepage today, 11am for 48h. In this 32-minute film the artist Birgit Brenner addresses the grave consequences of the Anthropocene and presents us with a dystopian scenario structured after the creation story. #link in bio #birgitbrenner #finalcall #leipzig #video #exhibition 
January 7, 2021 at 11am Raul Walch “unfollow” On occasion of Raul Walch's upcoming exhibition in our Berlin gallery space, we are happy to premiere his current video work "No One To Follow" from January 7, 2021 at 11am until the end of the exhibition. “Much of Walch’s practice is set against nature or urbanity that finds itself in a critical stage of transition. Like most of the materials used by Walch in his practice, individual elements that make up the artworks are repurposed—every object has breathed in open air outside of the white cube in some way. As such, the show charts out a line between two environmental polarities—at sea level, a coal mining factory in Lausitz and, 3,800 meters above and farther south, the glaciers of South Tyrol. In a short looping film called No One to Follow, the artist plots his way across these two disparate places: one, a site of “excellent” nature and, at the other, a site of resource-extraction and overt destruction. While the glacier appears to exemplify natural beauty, the sun is beaming down; to protect it from melting, a thick wooly fleece is draped across kilometers of ice. This juxtaposition of, on the one hand, an unnatural state of preservation and, on the other, one of bustling destruction shows that any ideation about the natural and the unnatural is paradoxical. In all cases, nature finds itself in a state of human-induced entropy; profitability connects them.” Excerpt from the press text by Kate Brown You will find the full text on our website. #linkinbio @raulwalch @kate__brown #unfollow #exhibition #berlin #teaser #trailer

@nadjasayej wrote for @forbes: “Enter Kristina Schuldt, an up-and-coming Leipzig painter who may be known among German art circles, but has yet to claim world domination. Her latest exhibition at Galerie Eigen + Art in Berlin is called Sans Souci (meaning ‘carefree’ in French), opened and runs until December 12.” We would be glad if you follow Nadja’s recommendation and visit us at Auguststraße 26 for the exhibition by @kristinaschuldt. . . .

.
Brenner’s exhibition at Wolfsburg Castle includes three new works made during her residency at Villa Massimo in Rome (September 2019 - June 2020). Conceived of in Italy, the works take on a particular relevance against the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic. The themes were not developed in direct response to those events but had been gaining force in the artist’s thoughts already. [...] With increasing intensity, Brenner makes us conscious of approaching threats to humanity and the environment. "We just go on and on, pretending that nothing is happening around us." In this exhibition, Brenner conveys an extreme state of agitation. Yet she neither poses nor answers questions. "I’m simply lobbing images into the world and saying, ‘this is a way of seeing things.’"
.
Accompanying the exhibition, the catalogue „Jemanden Fragen“ is published within the Verlag für moderne Kunst“.

The @galleryweekendberlin is over but you are very welcome to visit the current solo exhibition “In abisso” by the Italian artist Nicola Samorì at the Berlin gallery space. . “Nicola Samorì’s relationship to the sources of his pictures is suffused with a continuous grappling with the history of visual art – not didactic, but substantive. His work as a painter and sculptor necessarily implies confrontation with this legacy, which nowadays is all too often regarded as unwieldy ballast. Samorì has no fear of the past or of his predecessors. He takes possession of them as role models and uses them to traverse the necessary path of knowledge and self-knowledge, using them as instruments to deconstruct their language and to found his own poetics.” Extract from a text by Chiara Stefani From Italian into German by Sabine Heymann Installation views by @uwewalterfotografie #nicolasamorì #inabisso #berlin #gallery #sculpture 
On August 1 we opened the solo show “Stille” by Uwe Kowski at the Leipzig gallery. . Stille (Silence) – the title of the exhibition – has been chosen consciously. As a reminiscence to the creative period in the studio, to the artworks that were originated in the last few months and to the place itself, a place of silence and of concentration, where Uwe Kowski finds solitude, which brings him to the creation of this new canvas works in vibrant colours. A picture triggers always different things in the viewer, everyone sees the same, but everyone sees it different. "I am interested in the seeing, that's the most important and the most original part, it's an experience." (Excerpt from the text "Sehen" by Leonie Pfennig) .
