›+1‹ 23/09/2022—03/12/2022

Frankfurt 09/23/2022—12/03/2022

Deniz Alt, Patrick Cierpka, Jan Davidoff, Marc Jung, Katrin Kampmann, Florian Lechner, Jirka Pfahl, Römer + Römer, Jukka Rusanen, Sandra Schlipkoeter, Lars Teichmann and Danil Yordanov thus enter into an exciting dialogue with another artistic position. Together with their guests Sascha Boldt, Filip Zorzor, Knopp Ferro, Michal Schmidt, Daniel Mohr, Aaron Scheer, Terry Haggerty, Deborah Wargon, Marianna Uutinen, Anne Jungjohann, Oliver Gröne and Mimi Rumenova, they present themselves in new constellations.

In addition to the variety of different works, materials and techniques, this presentation questions similarities and differences in the dialogue between the respective positions. The selection of works was made in lively exchange between the individual artist pairs, so that the references to the works prove to be an interplay curated by them. The twenty-four artists occupy the exhibition spaces on both floors of our gallery and open up lasting conversations about and through their artistic objects.

With ›+1‹ we once again analyze the possibilities of contemporary art and focus on the personal perspectives of our gallery artists, who address both shared opinions and existing discourses in their choice of guest.

Deniz Alt *1978 Aschaffenburg

Jan Davidoff *1976 North

His pictures are unmistakable, figurative, powerful and here actually omnipresent: plants, often in raking light, conquer space.

Marc Jung *1985 Erfurt

Florian Lechner *1981 Burghausen

Florian Lechner lives and works in Munich, where he studied sculpture with Hans Op de Beek and Hermann Pitz as Master student graduated.

Jirka Pfahl *1976 Wurzen

Jirka Pfahl combines masterful craftsmanship and intelligent blockchain technology with his three-dimensional works made of paper and as NFT. He lives and works in Leipzig. He studied media art at the Academy of Visual Arts in Leipzig, where he was a master student of Helmut Mark was.

Sandra Schlipkoeter *1979 Solingen

"In my work, I focus on making an invisible phenomenon visible, which I make visible in a 100th of a second with a camera. I transfer this artistically over days and weeks of work onto canvas, in paper cutouts and in sculptures." Sandra Schlipkoeter studied under Professor Eberhard Havekost at the Düsseldorf Art Academy and was awarded the title of master student in 2011.

Lars Teichmann *1980 Burgstädt

Art history is quoted and new interpretations of the great classical themes are confidently implemented in an innovative formal language.

Danil Yordanov *1972 Balchik, Bulgaria

Yordanov exploits the subtle nuances between black and white. Achromatic tonality is paired with the texture of the surface. The artist lives and works in Kaiserslautern and studied painting at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Veliko Turnovo, Bulgaria, where he received his master's degree in 1997.
