Space for concentrated work, for innovative ideas and for strengthening the artistic profile: All this is made possible by the Kunstfonds Foundation scholarship. It supports visual artists throughout Germany and is also a prestigious award for outstanding achievement in the visual arts.

The Stiftung Kunstfonds is now showing a selection of works by its 2024 scholarship holders: the exhibition "A.D.M.D.M.M.G.A.G.S.H.D.K.S.K.R.M.D.P.A.S.A.W" represents the entire spectrum of Kunstfonds-supported positions with painting, sculpture, photography and installative sound and video works.

The artists focus on a wide variety of themes in their works, from formal-aesthetic issues to autobiographical narratives and socially critical observations.

The participating artists were selected from the 83 scholarship holders by an independent jury made up of visual artists Christine Bergmann and Kriz Olbricht and exhibition organizer Thibaut de Ruyter.

HGB Bibliothek

Under the motto "Know. Share. Discover.", libraries across Germany are offering a varied programme on the night of 4 April. The library of the HGB Leipzig presents the reconstruction of the iconic net art project without addresses, which the artists Joachim Blank, Professor of Media Art at the HGB, and Karl Heinz Jeron (Blank & Jeron) developed for documenta X 1997.

Blank & Jeron used the internet as an artistic medium at a time when net art was still in its infancy. Visitors could interactively create an automatically generated HTML website, which was entered in real time on a city map, whereby this map represented the only orientation system in virtual space, without addresses or an index. In an innovative way, the screen work critically ironised the idealistic notions of the early Internet as a free and democratic means of communication by examining the individual self-presentation of users and their algorithmically generated digital representations. It thematised the visibility and invisibility of individuals in an increasingly networked but also fragmented world.

At the end of the exhibition, the work was removed from the internet and has not been available since. Together with the artists, the Centre for Net Art in Berlin 2024 has undertaken an extensive reconstruction project and implemented a simulation of without addresses that makes it possible to view the work in a contemporary browser. By focusing on the mediation of the work, visitors can experience the original "feel" of the work and better understand the functionality and conceptual framework of the original documenta version. In addition, extensive documentation of the work and its development was collected and compiled in a wiki. The resulting Netart Repository will enable a detailed examination of the work as well as further conservation efforts in the future.

At 17:30, Tereza Havlíková (Centre for Net Art Berlin) will give an introduction to the reconstruction methods and processes of without addresses. Joachim Blank will present the original work.

As part of an exchange project sponsored by the Franco-German Youth Office (OFAJ/DFJW), eleven students from ENSBA Lyon are travelling to the HGB Leipzig together with their professor Nick Oberthaler to work artistically and exchange ideas with students from Professor Michael Riedel's and Paul Nägele's painting and graphics class.

Can we carry art across Europe like we would bring wine for a dinner to a friend's house?

United by the cardboard box as a utilitarian material and restrained by the dimensions for luggage in travel and transport, twelve young artists and students from the ENSBA Lyon, use these constraints as a base to conceive the works and objects presented in this small exhibition.

The starting point was the discussion on the topic of the (sustainable) transport of artworks - and how could the different, heterogeneous artistic practices of all individual artists be realised and brought together for the exhibition in Leipzig under economically and budget-limited parameters? What is logistically possible and are the often restrictive conditions at the beginning perhaps not even the base for artistic exploration and realisation in the end? The mail-art practices of the 1960s or the copy-art project "IMPRINT 93" launched in the 1990s by British curator and artist Matthew Higgs (to name just two examples) already questioned the economic framework conditions of the art field at the time and attempted to break new ground in the distribution and reception of art through their conceptual simplicity. The standard dimensions for a piece of hand luggage (which entails a logistical restriction in the carriage of baggage in passenger transport) and the object in the form of a conventional shipping cardboard-box (as an easily obtainable and everyday object that can be transformed into a painting, a design object, a projection surface or a plinth for example) seemed to be the ideal conceptual framework for this presentation. It takes into account the individual, different artistic approaches and unites the momentum of a (partial) train-journey from Lyon to Leipzig. Intermezzo. Um-zug.

Aesthetics and Practices of Women's Resistance in Yugoslavia and Carinthia
The Art of Women's Resistance in Yugoslavia and Carinthia
Umetnost ženskega odpora v Jugoslaviji in na Koroškem
Umjetnost ženskoga otpora u Jugoslaviji i u Koruškoj

The resistance of women in the territories of Eastern and South-Eastern Europe occupied by Nazi Germany is hardly a topic in Germany and Austria. This is all the more true of the resistance in Yugoslavia, which has increasingly disappeared from European memory since the collapse of the state. But it was precisely here that there was a nationwide resistance movement that successfully fought back against racist and exploitative violence and liberated the country from occupation. An unusually large number of women were involved in this liberation movement, taking part in the struggle both as helpers, with weapons and artistically. This is why the artistic-scientific exhibition Partizan★ke Art focuses on the female resistance against the German occupation forces and the Axis powers in Yugoslavia and Carinthia/Koroška, which is still barely visible today.

Behind the term "partisan art" lies a fascinating phenomenon that is unrivalled in art production: by this we mean art as resistance or culture as a subversive practice of Yugoslav and Carinthian-Slovenian partisans. The protagonists of the resistance were on the one hand part of the art avant-garde and on the other hand peasants who expressed themselves in traditional forms of folk art. The subversive culture they created, i.e. literature, visual arts, film, photography, comics, textiles, graphic art, theatre, dance and monumental architecture, will be shown as part of a European history of resistance in the exhibition Partizan★ke Art at the HGB Gallery from April 2025 and flanked by a supporting programme (see below).

The gender-theoretical approach makes it possible to highlight the emancipatory content of resistance and its ambivalences. The art of resistance is emphasised through a focus on the partisans and artists Mira Alečković, Magda Bošan Simin, Greta Čaće, Lela Čermak, Vera Crvenčanin, Vera Obrenović Delibašić, Lujo Davičo, Cvijeta Job, Ina Jun-Broda, Elvira Kohn, Helena Kuchar, Hanna Levy-Hass, Mitra Mitrović, Marta Paulin (Brina), Jara Ribnikar, Mira Sanjina, Stella Skopal. The exhibition also focusses on the question of how these subversive art practices were taken up again after the war in contemporary art positions, continued and further developed - right up to the present day.

The exhibition project sees itself as a contribution to the debate on a reorientation of European remembrance culture, which aims to strengthen diversity in remembrance discourses on the one hand and close existing gaps in perception on the other. The project is therefore set up as a long-term process. A version of the exhibition was shown at the Hamburg University of Fine Arts in January 2025. The exhibition, newly conceived for the gallery of the Academy of Visual Arts Leipzig, will subsequently be shown in Berlin, Munich, Klagenfurt/Celovec and Vienna. Further stops of the exhibition are planned in the former Yugoslavian region.

The MaximliansForum is a space in public space as public space: in the centre of Munich, open around the clock, as a location, passageway, pedestrian subway and art space.
In a joint process with different actors and approaches, the project if, then, else tests the functions and contexts of architectural, social and representative public space and designs form(at)ulations between "being public" and entering into an exchange with the public.
if, then, else: if <condition> then <action> otherwise <...>. if, then, else defines a repertoire of methods and phases: recording, drafting and scripting, setting, inviting, editing, publishing and reviewing. As a workshop, installation, display, shop window, meeting place, editorial office and research field, the space itself appears as a starting point: for observing and being observed, as a temporary space for thinking, working and projection. The conditions as space and place are questioned, shown, form(at)ed and regularly published in connection with and in a public sphere: online and in situ. The dialogue begins from here - by observing, taking note and asking questions: on site, in the site, in public, to a public. What do you see, what do you think about it and what do you do with it?
if edited, then publish. else: review.

The School of Labour was a model project for workers' education under the direction of Gertrud Hermes. With the construction of the new School of Labour in Leipzig-Schleußig in 1928, a modern place was created for young workers to live and learn together.
The attack by the SA in the spring of 1933 and the confiscation of the building by the National Socialists put an end to the educational project.
The film "Gertrud oder die Differenz" is an artistic appropriation of forgotten history with a contemporary perspective. After extensive archive research, film production and intervention in the urban space, Ute Richter concludes her artistic research into the Leipzig model project for workers' education with the exhibition and book "Prototyp 1928-33". The historical material points to a missing emancipatory project of the present and shows what education means for the preservation of democratic structures.

Contemporary generative artificial intelligence in art, photography, film, literature and music evokes astonishment, horror, enthusiasm or scepticism and is developing at breakneck speed in all areas of culture and science. In latent spaces of huge mathematical matrices, artificial neural networks understand the world like a code and begin to learn independently, to produce images and sounds, to write, translate and speak.

The exhibition Le Monde selon l'AI, which spans the entire space of the Jeu de Paume, explores the ways in which contemporary artists have been mobilising these artificial intelligences over the last decade with both critical and experimental intentions.

From "Analytical AI" to "Generative AI", the exhibition looks at these new tools that make it possible to rethink and innovate creative processes while shedding light on the way machines see and inhabit the world. The exhibition features works by French and international artists who have explored the new AI technologies from different perspectives. Prof Clemens von Wedemeyer is one of the artists involved in the exhibition curated by Antonio Somaini.

Jia-chae Chang's short film Offline Messages is part of the programme nowhere close to halfway at the Images Festival 2025 in Toronto. It has its North American premiere.

Offline Messages explores identity and nostalgia through literature and film. The film tells the story of Weng Nao, Jin Lian and Qiu Miaojin from the author's same hometown, Changhua City, Taiwan, and connects their home across generations with cycles of colonialism, writers and filmmaking.

Jia-chae Chang was born in 1989 in Changhua, Taiwan. He is currently studying at the HGB Leipzig in the Expanded Cinema class of Prof. Clemens von Wedemeyer and Mareike Bernien. His video works interpret the mediated relationship between technological objects and physical perception through private narratives. His most recent artistic practice explores how changes in media and standardisation systems influence the writing behaviour of Chinese characters and their social meaning. Through
research, image collage and re-narration, reality and imagination merge.

Images Festival is a non-profit, artist-run festival dedicated to experimental film, media art, contemporary art and the spaces in which these forms coexist. The festival's programme questions the conditions of contemporary moving image culture and offers artists, filmmakers, curators and other practitioners a platform to work experimentally in form and content.

"Meta K. - Übergangszustand" is the current part of the work cycle "Meta K." - an autofictional story that I am continuously developing. It is about a male and a female K. who write letters to each other and send samples of their work. They thematise their confrontations with artistic work processes, experiences of intoxication and flowering, moments of failure and, time and again, their relationship itself. Meta K. - Transitional State" is about the experience of intermediate areas: between reality and imagination, the outer and inner worlds, the self and the other, as well as between consciousness and intuition. I see artistic work as a game that becomes a transitional space for the alter ego "K." that I have created, in which it oscillates in the aforementioned intermediate spaces. The concept of relationship is also central here: the relationship to the other, to oneself and to the surrounding space, and the work consists of texts, installations and photographs of spatial, self and object stagings.

The project Diversity Development invites to an Excursion to the exhibition «The street is my studio» and artist talk 

The exhibition «The street is my studio» shows photographs by Mahmoud Dabdoub, who came from a Palestinian refugee camp to study art in the GDR in 1981. He studied photography at the HGB Leipzig from 1982 to 1987. With a keen eye and sense for detail, he captured everyday life under socialism - without clichés or romanticization. His 75 pictures from the 80s and 90s show humorous, touching and surprising quotidian moments. Dabdoub was also present with his camera at the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Personal documents such as his Lebanese passport and his HGB student ID complete the exhibition. In addition to conveying his artistic approach and practice, the exhibition tells above all a story of migration, new beginnings and a foreigner's view of everyday life in the GDR. It thus presents a special encounter with the GDR from the perspective of a Palestinian artist.

"aufknoten / aufmerken, sich wieder verbinden" is a research project on contemporary witnessing in public space, a performative situation in the neighbourhood of plants. The performer Angelika Waniek, together with Inga Martel, artist and somatic researcher, looks at individual life stories, subjective experiences, plants and their traces. The period being witnessed is that of National Socialism. The witnesses are those against whom the violence of National Socialism was directed, but also trees as supposedly silent witnesses, to whom Waniek and Martel turn. They also grow in the immediate vicinity of the IDEAL art space and the Academy of Visual Arts in Leipzig. Places to which the artists are connected.

Love Affair, or the Case of the Missing Switchboard Operator 
Original Title: Ljubavni slucaj ili tragedija sluzbenice P.T.T.
Year: 1967
Country: Yugoslavia 
Director:  Dušan Makavejev 

Love Affair or the Tragedy of a PTT Employee is a Yugoslav black wave romantic drama film made in 1967 and directed by Dušan Makavejev. The film is full of metaphors and associations with the then communist society that only seemed healthy, which is why it was heavily criticized by the then authorities and is therefore classified as a Yugoslav black wave film. After its screening, the film achieved great popularity in Yugoslavia and the world, and was the subject of a large number of works and discussions. At the 14th Pula Film Festival, Dušan Makavejev received a special award for the research approach in the film.

A young postal worker, Izabela (Eva Ras), begins a love affair with a serious young man, Ahmed (Slobodan Aligrudić). However, during his official absence, the girl begins a love affair with an aggressive colleague from work (Miodrag Andrić). The girl becomes pregnant. Upon the young man's return from his official trip, a conflict arises between the two, which ends tragically…

The lecture presents the magazine "Wächterstraße 11", which was published between 1940 and 1944 by the Nazi Student Association of the Academy and appeared approximately quarterly with a total of 14 issues. Letters from current and former students who were serving in the Wehrmacht as well as letters and reports from teachers and students at the academy were printed under the recurring headings "... the front is now reaching out to its homeland..." and "... but the homeland is reaching out to the front...". In view of the patchy sources available in the archives at this time, the publications allow events from everyday academy life to be reconstructed, while the soldiers' letters in particular provide an insight into their ideological stance.

This screening of the Aurora Digitalis Series brings together artistic works that use digital landscapes and speculative architectures as mirrors, critiques, or visions of social orders. The selected films explore virtual cities, game worlds, and algorithmic narratives as spaces of political negotiation, revealing how monopolies, power structures, and financial systems continue to manifest in the digital realm. Between post-apocalyptic luxury visions and capitalism-critical simulations, the works offer glimpses into dystopias, historical continuities, and the potentially destructive effects of digital systems on bodies, cities, and communities.

Aurora Digitalis is a screening format dedicated to time-based digital films that create alternative worlds with game engines, among other tools, and renegotiate these worlds in their identities, virtual bodies and socio-economic structures. Through speculative narrative forms, the understanding of game mechanics and avatars, they question the ideological foundations of digital technologies and open up critical perspectives on power structures and future concepts. The screening includes films from international positions as well as HGB alumni.

Organised as part of (Un)Learning Digitalities - Programme on the Practice and Theory of the Digital with Clemens von Wedemeyer(Expanded Cinema class) and Eliza Goldox (Office for Digital Teaching) at the Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig in cooperation with the Galerie für Zeitgenössische Kunst Leipzig.

The project is co-financed by the European Union and co-funded by public funds allocated by the members of the Saxon State Parliament.

Katharina Bayer's short film "A Provenance" is one of the 21 film productions selected for the German Competition of the 71st International Short Film Festival in Oberhausen. In "A Provenance", the origin of 32 chess pieces exemplifies the general tragedy of Jewish collections looted by the National Socialists and their rightful owners. Using archive images, the sounds of porcelain and the ongoing search for the pieces, the film sheds light on the fate of the Gustav von Klemperer porcelain collection during the National Socialist era, which is closely linked to the Dresden State Art Collections.

"A Provenance" will be shown as part of the German Competition on Saturday, 3 May 2025 at 17:00. The 80-minute programme will be followed by a discussion of the works shown with the filmmakers present.

In the exhibition "Overnight", the artists Francesco Del Conte, Johnny Linder, Bernd Oppl, Sandra Schubert, Yuki Tawada & Fuku Fukumoto, Dora Tishmann and Stig Marlon Weston explore the phenomena of darkness and light. They explore how shadows become figures and thoughts become reality. Their works visualise ephemeral processes, the unconscious and the mysterious. Using innovative techniques in photography and film, they show light pollution, for example, or transform burnt photographs into ceramic glazes. Fiction and reality collide in this transformative space.

In the exhibition, Sandra Schubert, artistic assistant in the photography programme at the HGB, is showing photo collages and baryta prints of seascapes as well as models of marine animals and a 22-page artist's book, all from the eighteen-part work complex Night Dive. The theme of the work is the relationship between man and nature. Nature in the form of the sea is a canvas onto which fears and desires, representation or the reproduction of human ideas are projected. Animals become cultural objects. The individual images are held together by an integrated text of naive omnipotence. "The reduced black and white images appear objective and cryptic, as if from an archive of uncanny memories." (Katharina Bosse, 2023) On a formal level, the artwork deals with photographically reproduced images, their creation and distribution.

The artistic-scientific exhibition focuses on the female resistance against the German occupation forces and the Axis powers in Yugoslavia and Carinthia/Koroška during the Second World War, which has remained largely invisible to this day. The protagonists of the resistance were on the one hand part of the art avant-garde and on the other hand peasant women who expressed themselves in traditional forms of folk art.
The exhibition project sees itself as a contribution to the debate on a reorientation of European remembrance culture, which aims to strengthen diversity in remembrance discourses on the one hand and close existing gaps in perception on the other.

The works that artburst berlin e.V. is showing at the Culterim Backshop Gesundbrunnen in May 2025 under the title "aus der Asche" (from the ashes) revolve around the theme of "heat".
Conceived as a double exhibition, the first part "brennen glühen flirren" in October 2024 was dedicated to the causes and manifestations of heat. The works on display told personal stories, used heat as a medium and thematised its invisible presence.
But heat is far more than an individual or emotional phenomenon. How do we deal with it? What strategies have we developed to cope with its extremes? And can a longed-for Eden perhaps even emerge from its ashes?
The second part of the exhibition focusses on dealing with heat and warmth. Nine positions take a look at the influences, changes and transformative power - between destruction and creation, danger and possibility.
In the exhibition, HGB graduate Sophie Constanze Polheim shows her work "Fehlerteufel", with which she completed her media art diploma in the class for installation and space with Joachim Blank in 2023.
