Sabine Hilscher
Duration: 05.07. - 30.07.2024
Sabine Hilscher studied fine arts as a master student of Prof. Dieter Hacker and costume design at the Udk Berlin.
She persistently searches for networks in art, between graphics, drawing and projections, between music and movement, visual arts and prose texts. With a sculptural approach to costume design, she experiments with unusual materials and forms and an installation-based approach to stage spaces and works internationally for opera, drama, dance and music theatre on the border between visual arts/installation and theatre. She is a scholarship holder of the State of Berlin for New German Literature and works on collages and drawings in connection with texts on perceptual phenomena, everyday observations, as well as anatomical and organic displacement fantasies. Group exhibitions and exhibitions at PARALLEL Vienna and Galerie Scotty Berlin, among others. 2022 Nomination for the Marianne Brandt Award.
Demy Papada
Duration: 01.08. - 31.08.2024
Her passion for paper and costumes developed gradually over the years, starting from the needs of her performances, focusing on developing paper art in the Covid era. All papers are handmade, worked naturally and with completely natural materials. Using the Joomchi technique, working in layers, a variety of flowers, plants and leaves were captured... for eternity. They were naturally dyed with plants and/or ecologically printed. They are coated to ensure a very long life.
The projects are conceptual. Her papers tell stories. Some of them are part of a series, while others are stories in themselves... but all of them reveal in the light secrets and narratives hidden in the paper. There is a movement and a flow - intensely present, even in the dark, before they are illuminated. The way the light is applied to the papers differentiates what the viewer sees. There is a great transformation depending on whether it is lit from the front, back or below. Both sides reveal completely different aspects of the same work of art.
Demy Papada was born in Athens, Greece in 1972 and lives and works in Berlin. After her diverse involvement in theater, textile art, costume and puppet design and manufacturing, she founded the Merlin Puppet Theater in 1995. She is involved in the entire procedure of each puppet performance she creates, from the conception of the performance, puppet and set design and construction to directing and performance. The end result is a visual theater performance presented on theater stages. With the Merlin Puppet Theater she has performed in theaters and at festivals in more than 40 countries and 85 cities around the world and has received 12 international awards. Since 2012 she has also been teaching the art of puppetry.

Solveig Gubser
Duration: 01.09. - 30.09.2024
All color tests are photographed before and after installation in the shop window. How lightfast is the color, how much has it faded? The shop window becomes a test laboratory and a place where the works develop further in the light.
Paper ink color studies - the shop window as a test laboratory
Solveig Gubser exhibits a selection of color studies in a shop window.
She lets wet paper scraps dry on price tags. The traces of the water are visible through changes in the colors. Or she places wet post-its and those cut into strips on an old document envelope. After drying and removing the post-its, beautiful drawings emerge.
Solveig Gubser (1984) is a designer (Industrial Design, MA, UdK Berlin) and freelance artist from Switzerland. She currently lives and works in the Netherlands. In parallel to her work as a designer, she is intensively involved with the medium of drawing, installation, intervention and photography. Her focus is on process-based, generative work, the visual language that emerges through serial work and the possibilities for its further development. Random elements, found objects and observations from her everyday life and nature are the inspiration and starting point of her work.
