BJÖRN SIEBERT & JOSCHA STEFFENS: SEVENTEEN HOURS OF SUNLIGHT
Die Ausstellung SEVENTEEN HOURS OF SUNLIGHT stellt mit den Arbeiten von Björn Siebert und Joscha Steffens zwei medial denkende Künstler gegenüber, die sich dezidiert mit Netzkultur auseinandersetzen.
Björn Sieberts »Youth Worshippers«, hauptsächlich fotografiert zwischen Mai und September 2025, zeigt in 2 neuen Bildwänden und ca. 120 Fotos eine Erweiterung des Werkzyklus »Saving Gotham«: auf unzähligen Fotos entfaltet sich eine Welt sommerlicher Selbstinszenierungsdarstellungen junger Menschen.
In der Installation »Gamechurch [Cycle I]« erzählt Joscha Steffens vom kulturellen Phänomen des Gaming als Plattform für Verbindung, kollektiven Glauben und Transformation. Im Mittelpunkt steht der spekulative Film 2081, der eine Zukunft skizziert, in der Gaming weit über reine Unterhaltung hinausgeht und sich zu einer treibenden und zentralen Kraft in der Gesellschaft entwickelt – zu einer gemeinsamen Mythologie und einem Weg der Erlösung.

Mit Sound Walk und Hörübungen öffnen wir das Ohr für die Elemente, aus denen Landschaft wächst. Grotenhuis, Pesch und Schimkat laden sie ein, an drei unterschiedlichen Klangerlebnissen teilzuhaben, die sich mit jenen Geräuschen auseinandersetzen, die bei der Transformation von Landschaft entstehen – durch vulkanische Aktivitäten, mäandernde Flussläufe oder den Abbau von Bodenschätzen.

Artist Talk am 6.11.25: Anna Schimkat im Gespräch mit Monika Brandmeier
On memory, sound & transformation
Erinnern Sie sich an einen Klang von vor anderthalb Jahrzehnten, der Ihnen noch immer so lebendig vor Augen steht, als wäre es gestern gewesen? Wie werden die Erinnerungen gespeichert? Wie können Erinnerungen transformiert werden?
Im Gespräch mit Monika Brandmeier lotet Anna Schimkat die gemeinsamen Erinnerungen an ein Austauschprojekt mit Studierenden der Kunstuniversität Damaskus und der Hochschule für Bildende Künste Dresden aus – kurz bevor der Arabische Frühling und der darauffolgende Bürgerkrieg die Zukunft der Stadt neu definierten.
Afterimage - Die Ausstellung von Anna Schimkat in der ODP Galerie Leipzig untersucht Erinnerung als eine Art Nachbild – den bleibenden Eindruck, der nach der Einwirkung von intensivem Licht vor unseren Augen schwebt.
Die Fragilität der Erinnerung wird anhand von zu Graphiken konvertierten Geräuschen untersucht. Geräusche sind flüchtig und wir schenken ihnen oft nicht viel Bedeutung, dabei umgeben sie uns ständig und verflechten sich so natürlich auch mit unserer Erinnerung. Sie hinterlassen Spuren in unserem Gehirn, in der Amygdala, dort wo Ängste, Affekte und Erregungen entstehen.
Monika Brandmeier lebt und arbeitet in Berlin und Dresden und ist seit 2001 Professorin für Bildhauerei an der Hochschule für Bildende Künste Dresden.

Finissage Today: Luna Haser’s Sharing Air at ODP Galerie
Today from 4 to 6 PM, ODP Galerie hosts the finissage of Sharing Air
This afternoon marks the last chance to see Sharing Air, Luna Haser’s solo exhibition at ODP Galerie. Born in 1993 in Freiburg im Breisgau and currently based in Leipzig, Haser works with acrylic and pastel pencils to create drawings that feel both fragile and deliberate.
Her works often show fragmented bodies, half-visible animals, and small, ambiguous gestures. There’s something unfinished about them—not in execution, but in how they ask to be looked at slowly, allowing space for uncertainty.
Sharing Air doesn’t try to explain too much. It’s about presence and absence, closeness and distance—and what we share just by being in the same space. The finissage runs today, July 26, from 4 to 6 PM at ODP Galerie.
Come by for a last look.
Luna Haser: Sharing Air — Exhibition Opening at ODP Galerie
Join us for the opening of a new exhibition by Leipzig-based artist Luna Haser
ODP Galerie warmly invites you to the opening of Sharing Air by Luna Haser on the 14th of June.
Born in 1993 in Freiburg im Breisgau and currently based in Leipzig, Haser works primarily with acrylic and pastel pencils. Her art delicately navigates the tension between presence and absence, revealing fragmented bodies and hidden forms that reflect transformation and shared existence.
Sharing Air invites viewers to engage with these subtle traces—limbs, gestures, and elusive creatures—that challenge ideas of identity and connection within a fragile ecology of being.ODP Galerie presents a solo exhibition by Luna Haser
ODP Galerie is pleased to announce a solo exhibition by Luna Haser, opening on June 14, 2025, at 7 PM. The exhibition will be on view from June 14 to July 26, 2025.
Haser creates her works on different-sized canvases, which she mainly covers with oil paints, acrylics, or coloured pencils. In her compositions, we often meet figures whose bodies and outlines bend the reality of the world we know yet allude to it with their elements. Haser's figures coexist with each other on the canvas in a kind of fluid and endless melancholy. In most of her newer works, she chooses one colour as the dominant one, and with it sets the rhythm of the entire piece. The colours of the paintings seem to resonate beyond the frame, as if the space around them was becoming part of it.

Aika Furukawa: LIMINAL SPACE
ODP Galerie presents LIMINAL SPACE, a solo exhibition by Japanese artist Aika Furukawa
ODP Galerie is pleased to announce LIMINAL SPACE, a solo exhibition by Japanese artist Aika Furukawa, opening on May 2, 2025, at 7 PM. The exhibition will be on view from May 3 to June 6, 2025.
Aika Furukawa, born in Aichi, Japan, in 1982, is known for her exploration of impermanence and the subtle beauty found in everyday life. Since 2007, she has focused on the motif of "folds," using translucent linen canvases to create multidimensional installations that engage with the exhibition space. Her work invites viewers to contemplate the transient nature of existence through the ever-changing forms of fabric creases.
Furukawa's artistic journey has taken her from Tokyo University of the Arts, where she graduated in 2008, to residencies and exhibitions across Brussels, Leipzig, and Tokyo. Her work has been recognized with numerous grants and awards, including support from the Nomura Foundation, Arts Council Tokyo, and the Pola Art Foundation.
LIMINAL SPACE continues Furukawa's exploration of the ephemeral, offering a contemplative experience that blurs the boundaries between the tangible and the intangible.

ODP Galerie presents a solo show by Jakob Limmer
ODP Galerie is pleased to announce a solo exhibition by Jakob Limmer, opening on November 24, 2025, at 7 PM. The exhibition will be on view from November 25 to January 4, 2026.
In his work, the boundary becomes deftly blurred between the anticipation and the challenge, inviting viewers into a world – where experimentation flourishes and ideas go beyond mere contemplation and manifest themselves tangibly in the physical realm. At the intersection of questioning authority and power, the artist focuses on exploring the hidden. Positioned at the interface of rebellion and curiosity, Limmer’s works surprise and encourage viewers to venture into the unexplored territories of the mind.
