Throwback: Enjoy this intimate view into the solo presentation BODEN by Ricarda Roggan at our gallery in Leipzig and take a look behind the scenes.

The photographer describes her artistic work, the process of searching and finding, what interests her in a particular motive and how the always analoge images come into being. In the second part of the video, Ricarda Roggan is taking us into her studio for an exclusive sneak peek into the exhibtion making.

"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)

Throwback: For this interview, we visited Nicola Samorì in his studio in Italy and got a guided tour through the exhibition MONO at our gallery in Leipzig/2022.

Nicola Samorì's new series of sculptures, Mono, uses a sphinx done in 13th century by Pasquale Romano as an antecedent. This medieval sphinx sparked the artist’s desire for a reinterpretation: from the absolute, hieratic frontality of Egyptian sphinxes to a decisive twist, representing the maximum possible twisting of a head turning back to narrow the field of view to its own body.

You will also learn more about the inspiration of the artist for the large wall work Campo dei miracoli and his paintings on marble. Enjoy!

„Art must emerge from thoughts and emotions - just emotions.“
Karl-Heinz Adler

Throwback: In the video, which was created for his extensive solo exhibition „Metrics“ at EIGEN + ART Berlin in 2021, we are following the tracks and inspiration of Karl-Heinz Adler (1927 - 2018).

Karl-Heinz Adler is one of the most important representatives of concrete, postwar avant-garde art. His minimalist, geometrically inspired drawings, collages, folding art, and sculptural objects, but also the construction-accompanying works developed jointly with Friedrich Kracht, have for some time now been in the process of international rediscovery in art and architecture circles and are appreciated as pioneering artistic achievements.

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
