Objects become inhabitants of a place and at the same time extensions of its architecture. They complement existing structures with new connections and barriers and grow together into fragments of a mysterious landscape. In the exhibition Flora Fauna Aura, the works of Tiziana Krüger and Linus Clostermann connect in different ways symbiotically to parasitically with the exhibition space.

Cihan Çakmak’s narrative is sensitive and nuanced, but also ambivalent and unforgiving. She offers insights into her biography and postulates an archaeology of the self, which she allows to transform into a site of collective history and intergenerational identity. But instead of being completely subsumed by her Kurdish or other forms of identity, she uses her investigation to reveal and process categories of attribution artistically in order to open them up to discussion. In her ‘desire not to be identified in that way’, (Bini Adamczak) Cihan Çakmak also denies the viewer the opportunity to walk around in her art as though in a familiar place, which is ultimately what makes her artistic work so fascinating.

"In a world where lipsticks are the central everyday object, the mighty monopoly company "Lipphold Industries" cordially invites you to the annual lipstick convention. LipCon 2023 will not only explore the colorful cosmetic object - but also negotiate personal questions of search, identity and being in a world of seemingly endless stimuli and possibilities. This is about the young journalist Kleo Klosewitz, who goes to the congress with her best friend Schorsch. She is
investigative and wants to find out to what extent the disappearance of her sister is connected to Lipphold Industries. On her way to find answers, which Kleo seeks first on the outside and then on the inside, she meets exciting people, gets into unusual situations and is put to the test a few times.

The Lipstick Congress is a high-quality pop-trash production with elements of comedy and crime thriller, which is intended to inspire laughter, pondering and empathy, but above all to empower and make you want to wear colorful lips. - #MyLipstickIsForMyLips"

FLUID CIRCULATIONS approaches the contested water ecologies of the Rhine and Ruhr area and our complex relationship with water from an interdisciplinary perspective: On the one hand, through phenomenological research that activates the body to become an experiential guide for transcorporeal sensing and (un-)learning. On the other hand, the project fosters conversations with regional and international experts to explore the political, economical and ecological implications of (post-)industrial water infrastructures, both visible and invisible and their consequences for local water bodies.

Bistro 21 presents Kyu Sang Lee’s most recent body of works, ‚Table of Contents‘. This exhibition investigates the interplay and convergence of seemingly distinct languages, including music, in a scenario where a single pivotal structure fails to constitute a system. ‚Table of Contents‘, comprised of eleven new works, is both an introduction to and reflection on his photographic explorations to date, as well as an offering of ongoing experiments and contemplations in his more recent multimedia works.

Fabian Hesse & Mitra Wakil move with their artistic works, which are shown during EMOP Berlin in the exhibition Touch. Politiken der Berührung (Touch Politics), they are working in the so-called post-photographic field. This refers to forms of the photographic image that have become hybrid by exploring and applying recent software developments that enable the artist duo to create three-dimensional sculptures from photographic originals as well as a divergent spatial experience through virtual reality. With these technological possibilities, visual experience and image perception are in an expanded tension with the reality that surrounds us. Cultural scientist and net critic Vera Tollmann talks to Hesse & Wakil about their artistic strategies and social implications for newly created virtual spaces.

What do nano materials and aerial technologies, sound waves and global-scale computation, optical engineering and energy networks, microchips and global warming, the H2O molecule and AI training datasets, your domestic routines and global policies have in common? They either exist or operate beyond the visible spectrum, beyond our ability to see them and develop a conversational membrane with them. In order to cope with these phenomena, we need to develop the ability to think larger or smaller than the human scale.

The joint exhibition by Dana Lorenz and Christian Bold deals with the concept of inclusion on different levels of reception.
Bold's works, which are understood as contemporary history painting, approach the term more through its historical context. Inclosure is associated here with land and capital accumulation by dominant actors, as well as the social unrest and processes of alienation associated with it. In contrast, Lorenz's sculptural installation works and posters refer to Silvia Frederici's (feminist activist and author) conceptual approach: the enclosure and disciplining of the female subject in the wake of patriarchal rationalization in the transition to capitalism. In particular, the subjugation and colonization of the female body is at the center of Lorenz's interest.

For both artists, inclusion thus becomes a conceptual vessel that gives expression to the torn nature of subcultural movements between the need for inclusion and the fear of assimilation and enclosure. At the same time, it means thinking about the dimension of the collective process, getting involved and making room for the respective other position.

In her current works, Myriam Mayer explores the question of how much painting needs in order to be perceived as such. In the exhibition "It all could be different" she puts paintings on canvas and watercolors in dialogue, thematizes and questions the medium of painting by deliberately limiting the technical possibilities of image production.

In our work, we tell stories, spin myths, weave dreams, and weave associations. We revere that which lies in the in-between. We play in the place where dualisms dissolve. In doing so, we consider subjective narratives to be valuable. Non-human entities and subjects from non-binary worlds appear in our narratives. They span a dimension-transcending web of strands of thought, relationships and references - both in form and content.

"dreaming slipping being meshy" weave together our independent works to emphasize overlaps in materials and content on the one hand, and to transform them into new entities and content on the other. Our respective positions enter into relationship with each other, begin conversations.

There will be a reading at the opening.

Ukraine is a country scarred by war and revolution in recent years, where the consequences of the fall of the Soviet system are still palpable. The works of Theresa Münnich give insight into Ukrainian realities between frustration, reality and illusion. In doing so, the cinematic documentaries always relate to the filmmaker's origins (born in Halle/Saale and living in Ukraine on and off since 2015) and raise questions about solidarity, coming to terms with the past, and utopia.

D.E.T. - Decadent Expensive Trash: Trash is that which is pushed out of a system. That which is deemed undesirable and destined to fall into oblivion. Transcending materiality, trash becomes the culmination of a collective process that decides when something becomes devoid of value and meaning.

The frenetic and globalized rhythm we live under renders dynamics that accelerate the creation of waste, tangible or conceptual. Under such rampant structures, the pace of obsolescence becomes imminent and systematic.

D.E.T, intends to reflect on the ambiguous category of trash, and explore the creative potential within it. Instead of understanding it as an accumulation of unusable matter and ideas, art has the ability to upcycle what is left in the margins, and engage in a restorative process that creates new meanings.

"Authenticity, intuition and credibility - along these three concepts that are crucial to Carla Lonzi's art/writing and political we want to create a polyphonic arrangement that allows us to talk about that allows us to think about historical continuities, critical ruptures and un/conditional gestures of revolt to reflect.

The starting point for this collective reflection is the observation, that Lonzi's critical revolting articulations are always at the same time an exhibition - or representation - of the impossibilities and possibilities that condition that condition or co-inform them. The forms and formats of expression thus become transparent and exhibitable - a critical reflection critical reflection, often in the form of a stock-taking of the agencies involved, the historical lines of flight and hegemonic and hegemonic mechanisms of appropriation, and hegemonic mechanisms of appropriation, forms the background for Lonzi's statements.

Without re-essentializing ground and surface, or form and content, we propose a heuristic essentialize form and content, we propose a heuristic cut in order to Lonzi's multifaceted practice from the forms and formats - the collage, the cut-up, the interview/conversation/dialogue, the pamphlet and manifesto. What media settings and historical figurations are invoked, exhibited, and negotiated in Lonzi's various works? What is the specific function of this exhibiting, displaying, and rearranging? And what is the relationship between this 'formatting' and concepts such as authenticity, intuition, credibility, or revolt?"

On Sunday, March 19, 2023 we invite you to celebrate the launch of the WebApp "A New Movement: Re*Mapping Leipzig" at Conne Island with us! For the celebration, the project team is preparing an all-day program with a champagne reception and coffee, content and entertainment, with talks and sounds. Together with artists and authors we want to present our app to you, exchange ideas and network, have fun together, drink, eat and dance.

The resulting app "A New Movement: Re*Mapping Leipzig" allows to explore Leipzig's feminist history(s) in multimedia walks. Artistically, the app makes historical and contemporary struggles, activities and movements in public space digitally visible.

The video performance walks, audio pieces, comics and augmented reality interventions in the app were created as experimental collaborations between the participating authors, activists, artists, programmers, graphic designers and curators.

The program begins at 2 pm with coffee and cake. Together with participating artists and authors, we will present the project in readings and performances, and excerpts from the videos and sound pieces of the app will be shown with commentary and presented for discussion. There will also be information tables, which will be manned by artists and feminist associations.

Another part of the program is a non-hierarchical moderated round of talks with short reports by actors about their feminist/ political/ activist/ solidarity work, their achievements, their wishes, contradictions and struggles. The focus is especially on the question of the visibility of feminist politics in its queer and intersectional manifestations. All attendees are invited to participate in the exchange by making contributions.  

Musically, the day will be accompanied by a feminist DJ collective, organized by Connie Walker aka CFM, the musician and artist who has been an actor of the Leipzig network propellas/caramba!rec since 2002.

Special guest of the event is the free performance collective CHICKS*!

For the group exhibition, eight students at the end of their diploma studies would like to hang works by a cross-section of established artists of our parents' and teachers' generation between their works. This division into generations has been a popular exhibition theme lately. In addition to the direct teacher-student relationship, we are even more interested in the extent to which each generation of artists
generation of artists also reacts to its time and environment and is shaped by them.

Regardless of formal and personal questions, the new twenties offer completely different conditions than, say, the nineties: in terms of social discourse as well as economic constraints and opportunities, in terms of self-location in a local tradition and in terms of worldwide networking. Compared to other academies, the HGB has been particularly successful in establishing itself as a recognizable brand. Although the discussion as to which features are actually characteristic of Leipzig painting will probably never come to an end, a number of stylistic relationships between the works of the most diverse artists can be identified - even if counterexamples can be found to every apparent rule, they are by no means taken out of the air in the narrower circle. Practically, we want to explore such repetitive developments in the painterly process in the exhibition, especially where they seem to appear independently of each other in otherwise completely different positions.

As part of the OSTEN cultural festival, the artist Trakal organized a writing circle in Bitterfeld-Wolfen that was based on the circle practice of writing workers. Between 1959 and 1989, hundreds of such circles formed in the GDR, forming a mass movement of workers' literature. At the museum, he presents the resulting publication and other historical texts. A conversation about writing and working in the GDR.

The exhibition KEINE ILLUSIONEN explores the properties and limits of the medium of painting by means of different contemporary positions. On display are works by four invited artists, some of whom are creating new works for the exhibition: The "radical painting" of Ingo Meller meets the partly larger-than-life painting surfaces of Rolf Rose, which negate the handwriting of the brush and seem to materialize color itself. Cornelia Baltes' painting, which stands between abstraction and figuration, blurs the boundaries between image and space, while Shila Khatami's compositions of perforated steel-aluminum plates address the medium of painting itself. The range of these painterly explorations is expanded in the interplay with selected works from the Hamburger Kunsthalle collection: among others, Dana Greiner (*1988), Dominik Halmer (*1978), Sabrina Haunsperg (*1980), Franziska Reinbothe (*1980), and Helga Schmidhuber (*1972) will be represented with works.

With the exhibition Maria Lassnig: Über die Präzision der Gefühle / On the Precision of Feelings, the Gallery of the Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig presents the development of the Austrian artist’s drawn oeuvre. Around 60 drawings will be shown, which were produced between 1947 and 2012 and primarily depict the female body using a differentiated register of sensations. In addition, a selection of Lassnig’s animated films can be seen, which she made in the 1970s proceeding from her “body awareness drawings” in the context of feminist movements in New York.

The title of the exhibition is taken from a drawing from 1992 that shows the artist’s own body in radical foreshortening as a hybrid between human and animal. These kinds of physical transformations in Lassnig’s work are the expression of a continuous searching movement to give form to a concentration of sensation in the body. The artist’s sometimes witty, sometimes ironic but nevertheless precise metaphorical descriptions of the pictures are significant here, for example when she calls a self-portrait “gardenscissor”, “rose basket” or “molecule”. This game of self-description binds drawing and text together without becoming entrenched in meanings. Rather, Lassnig confronts us with verbal metaphors that are just as transient as a fleetingly perceived occurrence in the body, which is first and foremost feminine because it evokes one’s own bodily situatedness.

The exhibition seeks to show that the seismographic exploration of body sensations is based on an approximating, yet inconclusive process that is impressively articulated through drawing. Moreover, drawing is presented as a medium which is distinct from painting in Maria Lassnig’s work, which claims an independent position like a hinge between language (notebooks, poems, letters) and film.

Maria Lassnig (1919 - 2014) was an art student in National Socialist Vienna between 1941 and 1945. In the 1950s and 1960s she spent several years in Paris and through André Breton and Paul Celan she came into contact with surrealism as well as informal painting. It was during this time that she produced her first “body awareness drawings”. From 1968 to 1980 Maria Lassnig lived in New York, where she familiarised herself with the technique of animated film. In 1980 she returned to Austria and at the age of 61 she became the first woman in the German-speaking world to be offered a professorship in painting at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna. Through her participation in the 39th Venice Biennale in 1980 and in documenta 7 in 1982, her work gained international recognition.

The exhibition is being held as part of “meaoiswiamia - Guest Country Austria Leipzig Book Fair” at the HGB Gallery Leipzig. It is organised jointly with the Maria Lassnig Foundation, Vienna and implemented with the kind support of the Austrian Federal Ministry for Arts, Culture, the Civil Service and Sport.

There are many claimed beginnings of German radio - for example in Eberswalde, in Königs Wusterhausen or in Berlin. So what remains of the radio beginnings? Except a new experience of simultaneity. And the potential of media community.

A second, hitherto less known history of telecommunications in Brandenburg leads from Nauen via Kamina in Togo to Windhoek, then the colony of German Southwest Africa, now Namibia, and to Dar es Salaam, then German East Africa, now Tanzania. This has the potential to reverse the perspective on German radio history.

The contribution is dedicated to two artistic-scientific projects: On the one hand the radio play ONE TO MANY (2021) about the question when radio will be 100 years old. And on the other hand the current research project about the telegraphy and radio connections to the former German colonies, as well as the infrastructures of telecommunication, their colonial past, colonial present, the parallels between the infrastructure of the German colonial period and today's internet infrastructure.

The concept for the HGB booth at this year's Leipzig Book Fair is based on the poster / flyer developed by students Lam Funke (2nd year Book Design/Graphic Design) and Lion Mayer (Systemdesign class). The front and back of the poster are printed in four different colors, each of which focuses on one of the HGB's departments. In this respect, four positions from each department are represented. By hanging the posters next to and below each other several times, a superordinate structure becomes visible.

It’s a book, the annual meeting of producers in the field of independent publishing, will take place for the thirteenth time in 2023. For the tenth time in a row, it is being developed as part of a project seminar at the Academy of Fine Arts. A group of students is preparing the day, which will take place both on-site and digitally — on a revised website with a digital marketplace and with the streamed symposium and other formats.

We look forward to contributions from e.g. Hannah Pilgrim, Annette Gilbert and also Boaz Levin, Ines Schaber and Jan Wenzel.
