Just one week left to see the beautiful reddish-gold curtain in Rey Akdogan’s installation outside Haus am Waldsee, before the exhibition closes. It connects several levels simultaneously: painting, light installation, architecture and perception.
The colours are reminiscent of theatres, sacred spaces or sunsets. The work fits with Akdogan’s central theme: how light and material can manipulate our perception. #light #theatre #installation#stage @hausamwaldsee

Found whilst reorganising the archive: in 2002, I had the privilege of editing the accompanying catalogue for the exhibition “The Object Sculpture” at the Henry Moore Institute, an initiative by Penelope Curtis. It was designed by Pay White. It was not merely the catalogue for the exhibition of the same name, curated by Tobias Rehberger, Joëlle Tuerlinckx and Keith Wilson, but a work in its own right. Many works were re-enacted, such as André Cadere’s “Barre de bois ronds, 1977” or Ririkrit Tiravanija’s “Brychy Bar”, from 2001 at Waling Boers’ BüroFriedrich in Berlin.

LIFTVAN TRIEST by @heidispecker@triestecontemporanea
Opening thursday, 2nd of October, @triestecontemporanea hosts the show LIFTVAN TRIEST by German artist Heidi Specker. The exhibition, in via del Monte 2/1, pays tribute to the life and work of Aenne Biermann (1898–1933), one of the most important figures in German photography of the 1920s. The result of in-depth artistic and historical research, this show revolves around two symbolic places: Gera, where Biermann lived, and Trieste, chosen as the exhibition venue for its significance. In fact, after the photographer’s death, the Nazis in Trieste confiscated a container holding thousands of Aenne’s negatives, which had been saved by her husband to be shipped to Palestine. The negatives were never recovered—hence the title Liftvan Triest Heidi Specker creates an artistic dialogue on photography itself and material loss. Additional photographs, which expand the scope for this exhibition were taken in Trieste during the winter of 2024 and in the summer of 2025 in Vienna. The exhibition will open on 2 October at 6 pm with an introduction by the art historian Claudia Tittel and a conversation featuring the artist.
An artist publication and a poster edition will accompany the exhibition.
