ANNA DEILMANN ART CONCEPTS

One of my favorite looks from our Alicja Kwade x Galvan capsule collection. The Kennedy shirt, paired with the Tuxedo Pants and styled with the striking 18ct ‚Toxic Berry’ cufflinks. Crafted in solid gold, this exquisite pair reimagines the Atropa Belladonna - transforming a symbol of beauty and danger into a bold, artistic adornment. All pieces are made-to-order in a numbered limited edition of 23. DM for Full Lookbook.

Anna-Christin Haas, Creative Director of Galvan, and artist Alicja Kwade explore material at its most essential, approaching it from different disciplines. Haas works on the body. At Galvan, she uses clean lines, precise cuts, and fabric tension to sculpt and reinforce silhouette, with nothing distracting from the essential. Kwade investigates the honesty of elemental materials, transforming them through processes such as electroplating, oxidation, slicing, and mirroring. Her interventions alter surface and perception while preserving an object’s essential identity. Through ongoing dialogue facilitated by art curator Anna Deilmann, their exchange crystallised around a shared fascination with galvanisation as a process that strengthens an object while allowing its identity to remain intact. Kwade’s work Atropa Belladonna (Emergency Pill), 2014, a gold electroplated Atropa belladonna berry, became a central reference. A fragile object made enduring, it encapsulated the conceptual tension within their shared dialogue of preservation and transformation, and helped shape the design direction for „A Space for a Secret” that followed.

ALICJA KWADE X GALVAN London-based fashion brand Galvan and Berlin-based artist Alicja Kwade have unveiled a design collaboration during Paris Fashion Week. Entitled “A Space for a Secret,” the Alicja Kwade capsule collection features a limited edition of jewellery and ready-to-wear pieces, presented alongside Galvan‘s Spring Summer 2026 collection, which is inspired by the capsule’s theme and Kwade’s work.   All of the eight pieces in the capsule collection were designed by Alicja Kwade and Galvan Creative Director Anna-Christin Haas, based on Kwade’s 2012 edition “Entropy” – a real Atropa Belladonna berry electroplated in gold – reflecting her lifelong fascination with the process of galvanisation as a kind of alchemical transformation of materials, meaning the preservation of objects as a frozen moment in time. The capsule collection stems from a creative dialogue between Haas and Kwade that expands into wider themes such as witchcraft, power, perception, time, beauty, healing, and poisoning. The project was developed under the curatorial guidance of art consultant Anna Deilmann.

Last weeks opening of @alicjakwade @museumvoorlinden - a must see exhibition in a must see museum close to Den Haag ✨ In her solo exhibition Die Notwendigkeit der Dinge (The Necessity of Things), Alicja Kwade explores the essence of things by questioning them in her sculptures and installations and placing them in novel contexts. Her skeptical approach towards objects and social constructs serves as a poignant reminder that everything manifests through random processes and specific moments in time. As such, Kwade questions the existence of a fundamental, evident truth, as well as the pathways to attaining objective insights and the extent to which consensus can be achieved on these matters — all of which remain open for exploration. ‘As human beings, we need objects, ideas, political systems and social structures to grasp our world, to live in society, to make our lives possible. We create things, define them, agree on them to make our lives possible. But they are not a given; it’s not a fact that a day has 24 hours, it’s something we agreed upon. In my work, I look into why things are the way they are, to really understand as much as I can.’ - Alicja Kwade Thank you so much for that fun opening night @suzanneswarts & team in great company @alicjakwade @kzerressen @grzegorzkiproduction @happy_frankly @martin_kwade @jelenaseng @laura.atta @marcglimcher & more..

Titled ‘A fleeting thought’, the Galvan Autumn Winter 2024 presentation under the vision of Creative Director Anna-Christin Haas, draws inspiration from the worlds of AI-art and dance. This galvanization of the human form and duality between humanity and technology, femininity and masculinity, solidity and fluidity take center stage in the collection that is inspired by the work of artist duo Hedda Roman. “For our first encounter with the world of fashion, we delved into the intersection of art and fashion, inspired by Oldboy’s fundamental question: What does our relationship with the reflection, or more specifically, with the nature of self recognition in the mirror tell us about our self perception? What defines our temporal existence? This contemplation explores fashion as a medium of continual evolution and redefinition of our fluid identities - a journey that is both intricate and personal, often exclusive but also participatory, in signaling alikeness among a group. It stands out not only as a powerful tool of communication but also as a channel for artistic experimentation, reflecting our ever-transforming selves in a process that has never been more multifaceted and complex than in our current realities.” @hedda_roman Having been inspired by art and architectural sceneries with a more clean and pure design aesthetic throughout the last decade, Anna Christin Haas was taken here very of the moment during a spontaneous gallery visit @sieshoeke being confronted with an Avatar called “the Oldboy” hitting her with the feeling of the unknown and a somnambulistically state. Anna-Christin Haas notes: “The work of Hedda Roman can be diffusing and ambiguous – it is questioning the human kind. It matched with a feeling of insecurity I had inside of me, which we all have inside of us in times of global uncertainty. But I also saw hope in what new technologies could do for us”. Congratulations to this multilayered collaboration bringing together various creative worlds, the fabulous show during Paris fashion week and the outstanding collection @annachristinhaas @galvanlondon @cecemorelli &Team All artworks © Hedda Roman, 2024.

One last time - Controlled Burn by @julian.charriere @langenfoundation filmed by @stifter.studio The short film includes the works #panchronicgarden #touchingthevoid #wedidntstartthefire #controlledburn, #pitchdrop, #andbeneathitallflowsliquidfire and #purewaste

Go take your chance to see the show ‚Controlled Burn‘ by @julian.charriere @langenfoundation before it closes on August 6 🔥⏱🥁🌴🎇 Europe today faces an unprecedented energy crisis, in which environmental goals collide with urgent political priorities. As Europe begins to restart coal-fired power plants and nuclear reactors, Controlled Burn confronts our alienation from the materials, processes, and infrastructures that make the continuous flow of energy possible. In this exhibition, fires that usually burn out of sight—underground, beyond the city limits, in distant pasts, and warming futures—are brought to light. Julian Charrière’s work addresses urgent ecological concerns, often stemming from fieldwork at signal locations such as volcanoes, glaciers, undersea, and radioactive zones. Deepening his reflections upon ideas of nature and our place therein, Controlled Burn interrogates the dark vitality of materials used for fuel: coal, petroleum, palm oil, sunshine, and more. Charrière’s speculative visions range over the fossilized life-worlds of past geological ages, as well as atmospheres saturated with the burnt residues of modernity’s excess. Controlled Burn questions humankind’s fraught grip on fire and the agency of plants in shaping planetary futures. Powered by solar energy harvested by the site-specific ensemble Drain the Swamp (2022), located directly in front of the museum, the exhibition takes place throughout the Langen Foundation building and surroundings. Controlled Burn debuts a suite of ambitious commissioned artworks, set within a constellation of key pieces from Charrière’s oeuvre. It is the artist’s most extensive exhibition to date. Addressing the entanglement of environmental and geopolitical issues, it also features installations that allude to the Insel Hombroich’s prior use as a NATO rocket storage facility.
