MALWUT is an exhibition featuring nine very different female painters at the Brandenburgischer Kunstverein in Potsdam. Founded by Anna Steinert and Anna Leonhardt in late 2025, the collective creates visibility for female artists outside the traditional economic structures and hierarchies of the art world. In a system that still grants female painters less presence than male painters, the project carves out new shared space for action. The name MALWUT is both a declaration of combat and an ironic role-playing game. On the one hand, the biographies of female painters are less linear, and their work is still, on average, less well-compensated than that of their male colleagues. On the other hand, emotions and physically conveyed impulsiveness are also historical attributions with which male art criticism has explained (or devalued) female painting. At the same time, however, the term plays on subjective qualities that can be discerned in the presented paintings. The initiators emphasize the risk-taking nature of the paintings on display. The images do not hide traces of the working process. Surfaces are exposed, and the works are conceived as a deliberate “affront” to a smoothed-out digital world. Here, painting is also an act of fury against calculated product qualities and easily consumable images.

Within the exhibition Ever in Flux, Anna Steinert’s painting opens a space of movement and transformation. Expansive gestures and layered chromatic fields generate a pictorial environment in which the gaze can drift, encountering shifting densities, traces and currents across the surface. Rather than stabilising into a fixed composition, the painting unfolds as a dynamic process—an image in continuous becoming. On view at Galerie Melbye-Konan from 26 February to 24 April 2026, in collaboration with Kunstverein Jesteburg and curated by its artistic director Isa Katharina Hänsel.

Anna Steinert’s practice unfolds at the intersection of painting, process and performativity. Working with colour as a physical and transformative force, she understands painting as an open, non-linear process—one that embraces instability, rupture and renewal. Her works resist fixed form, instead generating spaces in which perception and imagination remain in motion. Central to her practice is the use of masks, which extend the painterly into a performative dimension. Rather than functioning as static objects, they act as instruments of transformation—embodying shifting identities and opening transitional states between image, body and gesture. In the current duo exhibition Ever in Flux, Steinert’s works engage with the idea of the subject as something in continuous formation—unstable, relational and always in transition.

Some impressions of the preview „Ever in Flux“ at @galerie_melbyekonan in Hamburg last Saturday. the show is on view from today until April 24. In collaboration with Kunstverein Jesteburg e.V., Galerie Melbye-Konan is pleased to present the duo exhibition Ever in Flux featuring works by Yannick Ackah and Anna Steinert, curated by Isa Katharina Hänsel. At the core of the exhibition is the subject in transition—identity conceived as a process, a state of in-between, a constant movement. Ever in Flux brings together two artistic perspectives that, in distinct ways, explore fragmentation, transformation, and hybridity, challenging conventional notions of figure, origin, role, and self. Through painting and collage, both artists create pictorial spaces where meanings shift, bodies transform, and identity emerges not as a fixed category but as an ongoing formation.
