  The sculpture Sea Sick Passenger Letterbox (2016) is linked to the formal language and concerns of its predecessor Sea Sick Passenger (2014), a large ‘screen’ made of felt presenting a cut-out text lying on the floor. While the text on the felt screen is only readable in parts by looking down as you walk around it, Sea Sick Passenger Letterbox compresses the actual cut-out felt letters in a sealed glass container – similar to a blackbox its content is encrypted, yet seemingly accessible through the transparent glass. Language is decomposed in this bottled message, a translation of sorts, opening up to new possible meanings. As Ben Borthwick put it, “The reader becomes the editor, sequencing these fragments into new narratives.”

  Heike-Karin Föll works in her own dialectic of impatience and precision between drawing, painting and writing. Her work is in exchange with everyday media, styles, analog/digital displays and texts. She works ‘post-post’: from the no longer solid postmodern stratagems such as appropriation, quotation and copy. In this context, painting and drawing, and thus also the line as its smallest unit, are exposed. From this point of view, different artistic formats can be opened up: Book page, sheet, canvas, which become translucent on digital screens.
  The series of three posters by Heike-Karin Föll play with the paradox of a flat surface as the carrier of the most plastic illusion of a three-dimensional space. Layers of drawings with traces of photographs and green, transparent signs that stretch across the surface like scratch marks reverse our expectations of an emptied space. While they seem to approximate styles of writing such as Hebrew, Arabic, or Cyrillic, they could also be interpreted as ciphers of universal writing that compress all archetypes of writing.

  “freier” is an adjective. It comes from the dictionary. It is quite simple. In French it means a suitor; in German, ‘Get off my back, maybe another time’ or ‘Don’t worry, we’ve had you by the neck for a long time now’; in Romanian it means ‘Of course!’ and so forth… An international word.” (from the manifesto by N. Pleasure)

  freier – Magazine for the Mental state, is a b/w magazine of a circle of friends based in Berlin between 1995 and today. It is edited and published by Simone Gilges in collaboration with Honey-Suckle Company and invited guests and can be located between fanzine, poetry in images and text, artist book, photo-zine.

  Lisa Herfeldt’s editions are collages that consist of two elements: the black and white photographs are stills that were created and used for press kits of new cinema films. Residuals, such as staple pinholes, indicate that they were possibly also hung up as lobby cards. Herfeldt combines the stills with fabric objects. These are based on her textile sculptures, which otherwise intervene in three-dimensional space. In these collages, the tongues of fabric intrude the depicted film scene and thus manipulate the depicted action.

  Untitled (Ali Ağca) is a special edition taken from the work Prozess by Heinz Peter Knes. Prozess is an installation consisting of 54 small-format photographs, most recently shown in Knes’ exhibition Fotografische Arbeit at Künstlerhaus Bremen. This photographic detail refers to a famous press photo showing Pope John Paul II visiting his assassin Mehmet Ali Ağca in prison. They sit opposite each other in conversation. John Paul wears the white cassock and Ağca wears a jeans and a turquoise-grey sweater. Both wore their clothes coherently, almost in the consciousness of a history painting.

  Heinz Peter Knes (1969, Gemünden am Main) lives and works in Berlin. A selection of previous solo exhibitions are Fotografische Arbeit, Künstlerhaus Bremen (2020), (geworfen, gewehrt), Silberkuppe, Berlin (2016), intimation allover / insinuación expandida, Museo Tamayo, Mexiko City (2015), on distance, Sismografo, Porto (2015). Group shows are Emissaries For Things Abandoned By Gods, Casa Luis Barragán, Mexiko City (2019), Répétition, Villa Empain, Brüssel (2016), Off Broadway*, The Wattis Institute, San Francisco (2015) a.o. Knes’ photographs were published in various magazines, such as Basso Magazin, BUTT, i-D and Purple Magazine.

  Sarah Lüdemann (Beauham) deals with human system structures, abstracting them as human machines, components and choreographies. In doing so, the exploration of existing, normative structures plays just as much a role as the perception and representation of failures, mutations and errors. Her works take the form of epic performances, tactile objects, sensual sculptures, videos or installations, some of which she collages from found objects, with a particular focus on materials. This small edition of seven different pinches is part of a larger series of hand-sized sculptures in unfired, lacquered clay. The pale skin color and forms evoke physicality. For this purpose, the artist uses anatomical drawings, picks up parts of bones, tendons or flesh bulges and processes them. The forms seem familiar, though still it is not clear where to locate them. For 7 Kniffe (pinches), the artist goes one step further and creates a unique edition in which her finger impression dwells in the flesh.

  Sarah Lüdemann (Beauham) studied fine arts in Oslo and at Central Saint Martins in London, where she graduated with distinction in 2011. Before that she studied linguistics, psychology and fine arts at the University of Cologne from 2001 to 2005. She currently teaches at the University of Bremen. Her work has been shown in numerous international exhibitions, including Printed Matter, New York (USA) / Goethe-Institut Cairo (EGY) / Collegium Hungaricum, Berlin (DE) / Hayaka Arti, Istanbul (TR) / Trafo, Stettin (PL) / LYON Biennale de la Danse, La lavoir public, Lyon (FR) / Museum Villa Rot, Burgrieden (DE) / HDLU, Zagreb (HR) / October Salon, Belgrade (RS) / Museum Frieder Burda | Salon Berlin, Berlin (DE) / Ventolin Art Space, Melbourne (AUS). Her works are in the MOMENTUM Worldwide Video Collection (DE), Piracy Book Collection, AND Publishing (UK), DesapE (BR), Tofiq House Collection (BR), Sammlung Städtische Galerie Bremen and various private collections worldwide.

  Grażyna Roguski is interested in the human body in social power relations, especially with regard to social choreographies that are shaped by gender and social classes. Her editions, which she has produced exclusively for the Künstlerhaus Bremen, combine components of her artistic practice such as object, painting, drawing and performance. Each silk scarf reveals an imprint of her own body, the intimacy of which is carried to the outside on the two-dimensional surface.

  Grażyna Roguski (born in 1983 in Tübingen) lives in Berlin. She studied media art at the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Karlsruhe (diploma 2013) and completed her studies in 2017 as a master student of Joachim Blank at the HGB Leipzig. Exhibitions (selection): Künstlerhaus Bremen (2020), Storage Capacité, Berlin (2019); Kunstverein Leipzig; Vitamin C, Berlin (2018); 1a Space, Hong Kong; SORT, Wien (duo); Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin (2017); Museum Arnheim; The Plug, London (2016); Württembergischer Kunstverein, Stuttgart (2015); Konsumverein Braunschweig (solo) (2014).
