#classic: In this interview, Ulrike Theusner is taking you with her to Mahagonny. Enjoy!

Mahagonny – that’s the city of unbridled hedonism invented by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, where having no money is a crime punished by death. Ulrike Theusner has turned her years of interest in Mahagonny into her current exhibition. She conceived an oversized fictional studio wall on which she has pinned pastels and drawing, prints, and photographs, all shreds of memories of her life between Europe and the United States.
"All images are of course always closely related to my current emotional state, to my experience, to life itself. You can't put it into words very well, but if something is transferred, then I've definitely achieved what I wanted, which is to transport something and to touch the emotional level of the viewer. That's what art is for."

#classic: Inside a Screensaver is Martin Gross' first solo exhibition at Galerie EIGEN + ART in 2021.

Martin Gross' exhibition is designed as a large room installation like the most exhibitions he does before, like at Kunsthalle Rostock or Kunstraum Potsdam. In the Leipzig gallery a wall piece with the words “Is it still Raining” stretches across three gallery walls, illuminated by suspended neon tubes and combined with oilstick paintings. Martin Grosscombines elements from language, text, drawing and painting. Cultural influences from music or literature overlap with those from urban space and what it encounters on a daily basis. The exhibition was accompanied by a catalogue, in this an essay by Anka Ziefer.

„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.
