The pencil drawings are of screenshots of Instagram reels at the moment of return or escape from a doom scroll. As well as introducing the momentary to references of geological, human and cosmological time scales, I feel these small snapshot drawings represent a return to consciousness or existence. As if in the absolute consumption of material during such a scrolling session, I myself am consumed and operate then in a sort of anti-presence.

These works are explorations of mark making on material as well as on time itself; time plays simultaneously the maker and the mark. They are considerations of vastly differing time scales and the co-existence of those scales.

Harry Thring & Harry Reddick - But who builds in stone
Eröffnung: Freitag, 24. April 2026 19h
Midissage: Mittwoch, 29. April 2026, 18-21h
Finissage: Sonntag, 03. Mai 2026 15-19h
Ausstellung: bis 26. April 2026, Besuch außerhalb der Öffnungszeiten nach Vereinbarung
Während Thring die skulpturalen Werke entwicklt, wird Reddick eine klangliche Antwort auf dieselben Themen schaffen. Er wird das Stück bei der Ausstellungseröffnung im April 2026 in Hamburg live uraufführen. Diese Audio-Komponente erweitert das Projekt über den physischen Raum hinaus und ermöglicht es ihm, gleichzeitig in mehreren Zeitlichkeiten und Geografien zu existieren.
Thrings Arbeit untersucht die Verbindungen zur Zukunft und Vergangenheit und wie diese uns helfen, unsere heutige Position zu betrachten und zu verstehen. Er arbeitet hauptsächlich skulptural mit einer Reihe von Medien, darunter Zeichnung, Malerei und Keramik, und kombiniert und kontrastiert oft Handgemachtes mit Gefundenem, um unsere individuellen Erfahrungen mit der Unermesslichkeit der kollektiven Geschichte zu betrachten und gegenüberzustellen. Er interessiert sich für die Spuren, die wir hinterlassen, und die Grenzen dieses Schaffens. Was bleibt, was wird vergessen und welche Bedeutungslücke besteht dazwischen?
Harry Thing schloss 2022 sein Studium der freien Kunst an der HfbK Hamburg bei Andreas Slominskimit dem Master Of Fine Arts ab und hatte 2024 das Hamburger Arbeitsstipentium bekommen.

My friend @nicholashanisch ’s latest exhibition International Hotel opened this week at @pop_gallerystudios in Adelaide, SA. I wrote a very short story as an accompanying text… If you’re in Adelaide don’t miss the show- Nick’s brought together typically very strange and interesting paintings and sculptures that hint at a certain significance, albeit one that is then almost impossible to grasp.
Showing some small works this weekend at @gruppemotto . In an edition of 10, each Unikat A2 print has been hand-coloured and features the text I wrote earlier this year while waiting for a ghost train, entitled “Where is This Fucking Train?”
Gruppe Motto‘s Art Fair is open 22-24.8.2025 (Fri+Sat 14-20h, Sun 12-18h)
At the end of 2023 I read a text of mine called The Lake as part of @ohohmartinoh ’s ABC PLUS project at the @kunstvereinharburgerbahnhof . The text is a consideration of memory and time’s distortion of it. There was no recording of the event, but if you would like a copy of my text as a PDF or audio file, then slippery slide into my DM‘s with your email address and I’ll gladly distribute ⏳
Older than our earth, our sun- but of the same nature, the same dust. The identical insignificance. The humble matter that that pools in the hotel bath when I wash my clothes. That fills the tiny wrinkled tributaries and life-line canyons of my sunburnt hand.
-Mark Rylance
The engravings, reproductions of the famous Neo-Assyrian royal lion hunt reliefs, are ironic in their propagandistic depiction of King Ashurbanipal’s command of nature, given the empire fell only a few decades later.
Hand engraved onto found domestic fridge doors (relics in their own right), the works are considerations of human nature and place across time and in this moment.
On view at ACSA (@adelaidecentralschool ) alongside @nicholashanisch and @matthewfbradley until March 21.
Engraved found fridge doors and melted found magnets.
