Brett Charles Seiler Video

Enjoy this video tour through the solo show so many picures, so little memories by Brett Seiler at our gallery in Leipzig:

In Brett Charles Seiler's paintings, glowing with desire, friends, lovers and strangers meet in studio spaces, on makeshift stages permeated by a twilight of intimacy. Like looking through the window of Seiler's studio in Cape Town, the scenes in his paintings unfold as snapshots in the radiance of their interpersonal encounters.

Filmstill, Kai Schiemenz, Kolk, Berlin 2022
Kai Schiemenz Video

Throwback: In this video, the Berlin based artist Kai Schiemenz talks about two different ways of making a sculpture: bright glass works in the artist's studio and rough concrete bodies in the outdoor area.

“Kolk”? This German word, which sounds like a fantasy, describes a condition in nature: a deep pit on a riverbank produced by stones tumbled by vortices in the water. Kai Schiemenz gave this paradoxically resonant and soundless term to his current exhibition in the Galerie EIGEN + ART Leipzig. The showing is an experimental field in which elaborated glass works named for crystals come together with rough concrete bodies. The title and the displayed sculptures are connected in that they refer to nature, and more precisely: to the soil and the spaces arising in and through it.

Filmstill, Brett Charles Seiler, Riding In Cars With Boys, 2023
Brett Charles Seiler Video

Throwback: In this video you will get great insight into the studio and working process of Brett Charles Seiler. Learn about his inspirations, materials and message.

Riding In Cars With Boys is the first solo exhibition of the South African artist in Europe. In the program of Galerie EIGEN + ART since 2021, Brett Charles Seiler lives and works in Cape Town, where he graduated from the Ruth Prowse School of Art in 2015. Seiler's work has elements of painting, drawing, installation and object art, the use of text and language also plays a major role. Sometimes poetic, nostalgic or romantic, it is an integral part of his art or stands on its own as a work as well. In his paintings, the space is indeterminate, the figures are not located and are sketchily fleeting, the writing elements spontaneous.

Uwe Kowski & Maix Mayer, Leipzig 2024
Uwe Kowski, Maix Mayer Video

Enjoy this quick tour through the exhibition! With Uwe Kowski and Maix Mayer, Galerie EIGEN + ART is pleased to present two important positions of our gallery in dialogue.

We have a long, shared history with both Leipzig-born artists: our collaboration began back in the early 1990s. At that time, Uwe Kowski (*1963) had his first solo exhibitions at the gallery with Paintings and Sculptures and Maix Mayer (*1960) with Die Jagd (The Hunt). The special constellation in which both show their works as part of a double exhibition had its forerunner in 1993 with Time Travellers at the Kunsthalle Ziegelhütte in Switzerland.
Today, 31 years after their last duo exhibition, we are delighted to once again juxtapose the latest works of both artists in a field of tension between painting and video art, drawing and photography.

"The images find their way to me, have to go through me and then they land on the canvas."

In conversation with Neo Rauch in Leipzig

Neo Rauch doesn’t like to be in the spotlight - in an intimate, relaxed interview in his studio the artist is talking about the development of his artworks, his journey to become a professional artist, former exhibitions e.g. at the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg in Germany (2006), at the Metropolitan Art Museum in New York (2007) or at the Uffizi/Palazzo Pitti in Florence (2019). How did the curated shows influence his view on his works and what does the word „painting“ mean to Neo Rauch?

The talk is in German, you will find a translation in English as PDF here.

Gabrielle Kruger Video

It's worth taking a look behind the scenes – South African artist Gabrielle Kruger takes us into her studio and shows us her very individual way of working.

Gabrielle Kruger's work has already been shown in several group exhibitions at our gallery in Leipzig. Now we are also presenting her work on our stand at the fair in Cape Town, where the South African artist also lives and works.
Gabrielle Kruger has developed a process where the paint mimics the viscosity of glue when wet and the elasticity of rubber when dry. Drawn to the malleability of her chosen medium, the artist pushes and plays with the limits of acrylic paint.
You can now look over her shoulder as she creates her works using this exciting technique. So dive in and enjoy Gabrielle Kruger's weave!

Filmstill, Carsten Nicolai "unicolor" at LUX 2023
Carsten Nicolai Video

Carsten Nicolai’s artistic output has taken many forms over the past three decades. His 2014 piece unicolor – showing at LUX: New Wave of Contemporary Art, a new exhibition co-curated by Fact and SUUM Project in 2023 – is one of the artist’s most immersive works.

In this film, Nicolai talks to Fact about the ideas behind unicolor and how the musical experimentation in Berlin that followed the fall of the wall in 1989 kickstarted an ongoing career of artistic innovation. You will see the installation unfolding against a long projection wall with two mirror walls on each side, creating the impression of extending into infinity.

Presented at LUX: New Wave of Contemporary Art at London’s 180 Studios and SUUM X, Dongdaemun Design Plaza, Seoul until December 2023.

Produced by LUX: New Wave of Contemporary Art / Fact 180

Birgit Brenner Video

Apocalypse Now! The artist Birgit Brenner specializes in catastrophes large and small. Have an insight into her solo show at Museum im Kleihues-Bau Kornwestheim.

In tiny ink drawings as well as huge spatial installations, Brenner poses questions: Why can't politicians find a solution to the global crises? Why do we revolve so unwaveringly around ourselves?The exhibition in Kornwestheim could therefore be pitch-black. But it isn't, because the artist always includes a good dose of black humor.

"It is always a conversation with the things or with the spaces, so that I can ask questions like, “What's going on here and why is it like this? And why are there such strange, such scratch marks in these clay walls?” Who was there 100, 200 years ago?” I'm just incredibly interested in that." (Ricarda Roggan)

So the drawings permeate everything - it reaches and touches us. And that's a form of communication that I think only exists once." (Stefan Guggisberg)
