Two weeks ago we opened Unstable Equilibrium with three artists Mirsini Artakianou, Michal Fuchs and Katharina Gahlert, curated by Silvia gaetti.
Let the pictures do the talking as we wish to go back to the opening evening - full of joy and laughter.

Unstable Equilibrium is a concept from the field of physics and describes a state of equilibrium of a body that moves further away from its original position when slightly displaced. Instability, transformation and movement are common themes and focal points of the artists. ![]()
Their works negotiate in different ways questions about transforming identities, migration, inner and outer landscapes, as well as the relationship between humans and nature in times of the Anthropocene. Self-consciously, they demand space, they create surfaces of encounter and fields of tension with each other and with the viewers. Materiality plays an important role in their work: from thin thread to solid concrete – each of the selected raw materials is skillfully used and reflected.![]()
The exhibition brings the three artistic positions together and relates them to each other. Here, points of contact and exchange as well as contrasts are made visible. Process, ritual as well as tireless repetition are in the foreground: critically and consciously citing the perception of women* in the art world.![]()
- We are open every Thursday, Friday, Saturday 4-7 pm. 🪁

Jessica Arseneau explores the way human perception and subjectivity is shaped by social codes, patterns of behaviour, accelerating culture and technological progress. She works with video, performance, print, and text to create environments that allude to a poetic space between consciousness and the unconscious. Her current work focuses on the phenomena of sleep and insomnia in a 24/7 world.
Jessica Arseneau completed a bachelor of visual arts at the University of Moncton (Canada) in 2011 and a Diploma of Media Arts at the Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig (@hgbleipzig ) in 2020.

🌬 How can thoughts of movement and action be transferred into space?
🌬 How can art activate us and give us the impulse to discover?
The exploration of these questions usually serves as the starting point for Siri Wirtensohn's artistic practice, and through them the work emerges into the outcomes between installation, sculpture and performance. The immediate context is always incorporated, as it has an enormous influence on impact and effectiveness. An approach that relies on both mental and physical perception can intensify our experience and create an atmospheric environment in which tensions and content can also be experienced physically. ![]()
Siri Wirtensohn graduated fine arts bachelor studies at the Minerva Academy of Arts, Groningen, the Netherlands, in 2018 and after gained a master's degree in sculpture in the class of Prof. Slominski at the Hochschule für bildende Künste Hamburg (@hfbkhamburg ) in 2021.
