Tschabalala Self

In the Studio Tschabalala Self, New York

By combining paint, recycled materials, collage, and textiles, Tschabalala Self creates a world that is both sensuous and political. In her powerful images of black bodies, mostly women, she centres pleasure, relaxation, and self-possession, while working against the histories of racism and sexism that have shaped how these bodies are seen.

Soufiane Ababri

In the Studio Soufiane Ababri, Paris

Leaving the past behind is not a choice for the artist Soufiane Ababri.

Dala Nasser

Johanna and Friedrich Gräfling

Collector Stories Johanna and Friedrich Gräfling, Wiesen, Germany

The program that Johanna and Friedrich Gräfling have completed in terms of art over the past ten years is actually more than enough for three lifetimes. They have founded an experimental exhibition space in Aschaffenburg, established the “Salon Kennedy” in Frankfurt am Main, a place for exhibitions and discourse on art, architecture and design, founded an art association, converted a barn into a residence, and built up a distinguished art collection with an international reputation, including works by Alicia Kwade, Simon Fujiwara, and Michael Sailstorfer.

Sofie Thorsen, Vienna

In her "Play Sculptures", for example, she deals with a forgotten typology of forms during the art-in-architecture movement of the post-war period, emphasizing the intertwined character of abstract sculpture, architecture and urban planning, aesthetics and society.
