Josefine Schulz: 'Wenn Wuff von hinten grinst' by Philipp Müller
'CONTEMPORAINES' - a documentary series on women in contemporary art.
WATCH HERE
[SERIES] CONTEMPORAINES invites you to meet today's artists through an immersion in their studios: who are they and how do they work? How is their commitment expressed? How do women make their place in the art world in the 21st century, when they only represent 13% of artists in premium sales?
In this pilot episode (26'), Aude Gogny-Goubert takes us to the heart of Berlin, to the studio of Franco-German artist Dorothée Recker. From the south of France to the Galerie Lætitia Gorsy, discover the creative process behind her colorful and sunny works. A production by David Tabourier, with the support of CNC Talent.
Art Karlsruhe 2025
Galerie Laetitia Gorsy - BOOTH H4/L14
with Franziska Rheinbothe, Philippa Brück & Lou Hoyer (Paper Square)
from 20.02. to 23.02.2025
The artists' practices contrast yet complement one another, engaging with the boundaries of the canvas and the materiality of art in unique ways. Franziska Rheinbothe challenges traditional notions of the canvas by folding, cutting, and stitching it into minimalistic forms. Her works blur the line between painting and sculpture, offering a fresh perspective on the physicality of materials and creating a dynamic interplay of structure and form.
Philippa Brück's vibrant, expressive works transform the canvas into a dramatic stage, with her use of bold color and intense compositions. Her pieces, often resembling exuberant floral bouquets, push the limits of painting, creating visual richness and a powerful emotional impact.
Lou Hoyer’s intricate charcoal and pastel works explore the surreal, with ghostly figures and dreamlike scenes that evoke a deep emotional and visual experience. Through her mastery of paper as a medium, Hoyer's pieces invite a contemplative engagement with both reality and imagination.
Art Karlsruhe 2025 will bring together 187 galleries from 16 countries, offering a dynamic mix of contemporary, modern, and classical art. This prestigious fair provides a platform for both established and emerging artists, creating a vibrant atmosphere for collectors, curators, and art enthusiasts alike. With its diverse range of artistic positions, Art Karlsruhe continues to be a significant event in the international art scene, making it an ideal occasion to discover cutting-edge works and new talents.

'NO MATTER WHAT'
duo exhibition: Valentina Plank together with Len bay
from 08.02. to 07.03.2025
The duo exhibition 'no matter what' by artists Valentina Plank and Len Bay focuses on engaging with material, its inherent traces, connotations, histories, meanings, and effects. Both artists follow sculptural approaches that intersect the fields of media art and sculpture. The starting point for their artistic processes is the world of objects that surrounds us.
Industrially manufactured furniture, spaces, and architecture are omnipresent. In an era that Donna Haraway describes as the “Chthulucene”, the artists believe it is increasingly important to assign greater significance to objects, the environment, and, more generally, non-human agents, as well as to explore their history, meaning, and expressiveness more intensively.
Steel, aluminum, stainless steel, insulating materials, and metal sheets become carriers of meaning and form the basis for artistic exploration. In their engagement with traditional craftsmanship and industrial manufacturing, as well as with materials often perceived as “raw,” references to Minimal Art are evident. However, Plank and Bay go a step further: the materials they use are not limited to their external appearance. The tactile qualities, texture, and sensory perception of the installations and sculptures transform them into vessels capable of being charged—filled—with the viewers' own experiences.
Valentina Plank enables open access to her works through a transparent and studio-based process. Experimenting and weighing the relationship between chance, trace, and control take center stage. While individual steps of her process may be comprehensible, curiosity about the undiscovered and the element of surprise remain at the core. Playfulness is supported, not undermined, by the precise placement of her works within the space. This intuitive approach generates unexpected sensory impressions and possibilities for perception.

LIST OF WORKS & INFO
‘YUNG FERN – TRANSPORÖS’
A group exhibition at Kunstraum Potsdam with works by Lou Hoyer
from 12.01. – 16.02.2025
The artists, women, and mothers create a multidisciplinary universe of installations, open and fragmented spaces in the exhibition TRANSPORÖS. Like secret alcoves, each space unveils facets of contemporary femininity. The group YUNG FERN questions the porous boundaries between the private and the external, the real and the digital, the self and the other. Every element of TRANSPORÖS oscillates between softness and pain, between freedom and constraint. A life- and art-sustaining network of mutual support permeates the state of porosity, forming an inevitable sense of connection. YUNG FERN consists of four German-French artists: Jenny Alten, Lou Hoyer, Susanne Ramolla, and Cécile Wesolowski.

'Unwritten – Vom Erwachsenwerden'
Museum Gunzenhauser (Kunstsammlung Chemnitz)
with Paula Modersohn-Becker, Gabriele Münter, Donna Volta Newmen, Theresa Rothe, Josefine Schulz, Johanna Seidel und Theresa Tuffner curated by Sandy Backer.
15.12.2024 – 16.03.2025
How do we think about youth? What dreams, desires, illusions, as well as turbulence and challenges, are associated with it and the subsequent transition into adulthood? The exhibition Unwritten – Coming of Age brings together 20th-century women artists from the Museum Gunzenhauser collection with contemporary perspectives. In the diverse works of Paula Modersohn-Becker, Gabriele Münter, Donna Volta Newmen, Theresa Rothe, Josefine Schulz, Johanna Seidel, and Theresa Tuffner, this exciting, intense, and often challenging phase of life emerges as formative for our identity, memories, and visions of the future.
The artworks highlight tenderness, warmth, and vulnerability. They capture a certain melancholy but are also imbued with humor and strength. They reflect shared, cross-generational experiences expressed through sculptures, spatial installations, prints, paintings, and drawings. Themes such as love, friendship, role models, empathy, and self-empowerment recur, alongside feelings of sadness and inner conflict. A hint of youthful lightness shines through, but so does the lingering question: when do we truly become adults?
