Current: PAPER PROUD – a mail art project by Detel Aurand and Isabelle Dyckerhoff

Mail art as artistic exchange: How do you stay in touch when you no longer live in the same place? When you can't travel, as in times of pandemic? Artists Detel Aurand and Isabelle Dyckerhoff have dedicated themselves to art by mail and collaboration, developing a cycle of works on mail art: a silent conversation on paper that, parallel to their own artistic work, brings with it different approaches and challenges. Mail art was a means of communication across borders in Eastern Europe during the Cold War and an artistic component in the work of On Kawara, Ray Johnson, and Robert Rehfeldt. With PAPER PROUD, Detel Aurand and Isabelle Dyckerhoff are reviving this form of communication and drawing attention to the importance of paper and media such as daily newspapers.

Oliver Braig “summertime sadness” | July 20–August 23, 2025 | Opening Sunday, July 20, 11 am – 4 pm

Oliver Braig's art is characterized by a playful approach to words, meanings, and materials, the sensual appeal of surfaces, and a subtle irony. He has developed works especially for this exhibition and installed them in relation to the single room. Large, almost dramatic contents, HOPE, LESS, MESS, AGE, formulated in cardboard and piled up against the wall, meet high-end surfaces that look as if they are deep, but are definitely completely flat. Influenced by minimal art and concept art, Braig creates sensual art with which he questions social norms and systems. He confronts viewers with surprising changes of perspective that precisely create space for their own interpretations. It is set to be a hot summer, and the “summertime sadness” will gently but surely take hold of visitors. Swoosh!
