2021

So, 2021 turned out to be a bit of a mess too due to the pandemic. My duo with Victor Castillo - postponed twice, now indefinitely, will probably happen not before 2023. The show and catalogue release with Boris Hoppek and Jens Rausch was moved three times, but was beautiful when it finally openend in June, and I am still stoked that my complete installation “F.T.S.” (and a social and political statement in its entirety) found a new home and stayed together. But it remains a difficult situation, no need sugarcoating it. I am happy though that there were some shows possible and that at least some people could see them.

2020

Well. 2020 was a mess. So none of the shows actually planned took place. Painful, because my Solo was killed and the one where I wanted to present my book had been cancelled too. The book is also unfinished yet, unfortunately, also due to the pandemic, but it will be out some time next year.

Instead of most of the scheduled shows, I was part of exhibitions that were re-formed and newly curated this year specifically:

2018

In 2018 I worked hard on building my new studio and on creating a very new and different body of work for my solo-exhibition that opens November 24 at the heliumcowboy artspace. I did not do any external shows or other group exhibitions, I was simply too busy with everything and needed the time … well you know.

Here’s my most important exhibition in many years:

November 24 - January 20, 2018:
KIND, GENTLE AND FULLY DRESSED
