Jirka Pfahl

<Cabinet>

06 Nov – 26 Dec 2026

What does originality mean in a world where art is increasingly shaped by algorithms and digital technologies? In his artistic practice Jirka Pfahl explores questions of authorship, creativity and the relationship between humans and machines. In his folding works, he combines the ancient practice of folding with a self-developed script that, like a simple algorithm, prescribes his work steps. The result is an interplay of analog and digital processes, fixed rules and individual decisions. In this way, Jirka Pfahl shows that the current debates around AI and artistic authorship are by no means new, and that the unpredictable and the human element hold special value in artistic creation.

Fabian Lehmann

<ACCELERATION STRATEGIES>

31 Oct – 26 Dec 2026

In his artistic practice, Fabian Lehmann takes a historical look at the development of technology. In his solo show “Acceleration Strategies,” he focuses on its relationship to speed and understands technology not as a neutral tool but as a force that shapes thought, social relations, power structures and worldviews. In his sculptural works, he juxtaposes digital and analog technologies using artifacts, remnants and 3D-printed reconstructions, emphasizing the development process to which both belong. He questions whether “progress” necessarily means improvement, what is lost along the way and who decides what counts as outdated. He also examines how the share of human handwork in collaboration with machines is shifting and how technology changes our relationship to the world.

Nina Hannah Kornatz

<CHURN>

04 Sep – 23 Oct 2026

In CHURN, Nina Hannah Kornatz explores time, memory, and transformation through a vivid interplay of colour, ornament, and simplified forms. Drawing on folk art, personal memory, and the visual language of the “naive,” her paintings move between figuration and abstraction, repetition and change. Like churning butter, forms are continuously transformed while retaining traces of their origins—becoming carriers of identity, cultural memory, and lived experience.

Fabian Lehmann

<Cabinet 1>

27 Jun – 24 Jul 2026

In Cabinet, Fabian Lehmann explores how memories are preserved and what ultimately remains of them. His sculptural installations combine found objects, industrial materials, 3D prints, and digital imagery, bringing together historical symbolism and contemporary technologies. Simultaneously monumental and fragile, elegant and abandoned, melancholic and humorous, the works raise fundamental questions about the permanence and vulnerability of both historical and digital media of memory. Cabinet invites viewers to reflect on memory as a selective process shaped by power, and to consider how the ways we preserve and construct memory today influence our understanding of the future.

<Sprache also Zarathustra>

12 Jun – 24 Jul 2026

Language can be many things: expression, communication, archive, system of rules, or even material for art. In his exhibition “Sprache also Zarathustra”, Jirka Pfahl invites viewers to trace the origins of ideas, signs, and systems. Between beatbox sessions, Smartie packages, mathematical orders, scripts, and paper folding works, surprising connections emerge that raise questions about creativity, authorship, and perception. An exhibition full of insightful ideas, playful experiments, and subtle humor, inviting audiences to rediscover language.

<CLUB>

with Jakob Limmer, Marta Pohlmann-Kryszkiewicz and Martin Böttger

25 Apr – 12 Jun 2026

CLUB brings together three artistic perspectives that, each in its own way, render the hidden visible. In his media art installations, Jakob Limmer explores the dynamic interplay between rebellion and curiosity, questioning structures of authority and power. Through photography, Marta Pohlmann-Kryszkiewicz focuses her gaze on processes of transformation, searching for what objects and fragments conceal within their layers. In his sculptures and visual art, Martin Böttger approaches the themes of human evolution and the transformation of the body.

Anja Heymann

<FRAGIL>

24 Apr – 12 Jun 2026

Die Arbeiten von Anja Heymann bewegen sich zwischen Material, Raum und Symbol. Textile und skulpturale Werke werden zu einer räumlichen Installation angeordnet, die Fragen nach Schutz, Neuordnung und Hoffnung aufwirft. Dabei verkörpern Werke aus alltäglichen Materialien wie Haar und Nadeln gegensätzliche Spannungen, zwischen Anziehung und Abstoßung, Schutz und Angriff, dem Persönlichen und dem Fremden. Ausgangspunkt ist die Beobachtung der eigenen Umgebung und eine genaue Erkundung von Beziehungsdynamiken und gesellschaftlichen Rollen. In „FRAGIL" mündet dies in ein mutiges Bekenntnis zur Hoffnung.
Zentrales Werk der Ausstellung ist eine Flagge aus Millionen von Stecknadeln. Von einer Fahnenstange etwa zwanzig Grad in den Raum ragend, fällt sie schwer herab und breitet sich in Überlänge auf dem Boden aus. Die Nadeln verwandeln den Stoff in eine schimmernde, wehrhafte Oberfläche, eine Struktur aus unzähligen Setzungen, in der Verletzlichkeit und Schutz zugleich sichtbar werden.

Eröffnung am 23. April mit einer Performance!

Luna Haser

<Sharing Air>

14 Jun – 26 Jul 2025

Luna Haser was born in 1993 in Freiburg im Breisgau, and currently lives and works
in Leipzig. Since 2015, she has been studying at HGB in the classes of Prof. Annette
Schröter and Prof. Kerstin Drechsel. Haser also had an exchange at the Academy of
Fine Art in Oslo with Prof. Melissa Gordon. In 2023, she received her diploma, and
now she is enrolled as a master student, continuing under Prof. Kerstin Drechsel.
The artist works primarily with acrylic and pastel pencils—materials so playful, their
tender core muffled in solid wood. Luna Haser’s exhibition at the ODP Galerie is
titled “Sharing Air.”

<Ebbing Dreams, Flowing Surfaces>

10 Jan – 26 Feb 2025

Where does the boundary between dreams end and the solid surface of reality begin?
Dreams, like waves, gently embrace the shore, retreating and teasing with their undulating motions, unsettling the perception of one’s self and its external cocoon.
This exhibition is a collaboration between Tobias Naering Gallery and ODP Gallery, with three resident artists from each gallery. The exhibition, held at ODP Gallery, showcases works featuring a diverse range of paintings, graphic art, and photography.

Fabian Lehmann

<(In)stabilities>

01 Nov – 13 Dec 2024

Fabian Lehmann’s exhibition "(IN)STABILITIES" investigates the tenuous relationship between historical symbols of stability and the transitory nature of contemporary digital environments.

At a time when digital technologies pervade every aspect of modern life, Lehmann’s work interrogates the extent to which these tools offer an accurate understanding of history, or whether they distort our perception through a fragile and unstable medium. The exhibition explores how digital spaces—both malleable and ephemeral—create an illusion of stability, deceiving us into believing we possess a comprehensive grasp of the past. Lehmann’s practice is rooted in examining the myth of digital omniscience, emphasizing the inherent fragility and impermanence that underlie digital representation.
Through the recurring motif of the Greek column, a potent symbol of historical continuity and strength, Lehmann bridges the gap between ancient civilizations and the digital age. His works, crafted from materials such as UV prints on aluminum, 3D-printed elements, and LED lightboxes, juxtapose classical forms with digital aesthetics, suggesting a critique of both the enduring myth of stability and the unstable ground upon which contemporary digital culture rests.

<Saving Gotham Without The Batmobile>

25 May – 29 Jun 2024

Björn Siebert's exhibition, Saving Gotham Without The Batmobile, delves into contemporary photographic narratives in his latest series #1 (2024). Departing from traditional approaches, Siebert embraces photofiction, navigating interpretation amidst the chaotic sea of social media images. Inspired by amateur photographers, he uncovers hidden stories, building on his Remakes series. This fragmented narrative explores the zeitgeist of net culture, inviting contemplation on image perception and identity shaping.

<s.t.e.i.n.>

13 Apr – 17 May 2024

In Jakob Limmer's 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.

In his upcoming exhibition s.t.e.i.n., the artist presents a collection of works that seamlessly integrate different techniques. Each stroke and shade testifies to an imaginative journey with origins as diverse as they are intriguing. From silicone to foam, Limmer's works exude an mystifying aura, drawing observers into a realm where the ordinary is transformed into the extraordinary.

<Slough >

08 Mar – 06 Apr 2024

The exhibition SLOUGH showcases an installation comprising objects and components from ongoing and future hybrid developments, along with artifacts or fragments from a later futuristic stage of evolution, reminiscent of a molting process called ecdysis. These objects collectively paint a somber vision of our future world, providing glimpses into the remnants of human existence and technology. The boundaries between the organic and the artificial are blurring, giving rise to objects that were once integral parts of our society but have now become cryptic relics of the past.

<NOT QUITE YET>

20.10 - 8.12.2023

“NOT QUITE YET” is the first solo exhibition of Viktoria Sophie Conzelmann. In it she introduces the viewer to a world of her observations and conceptions that oscillate around the processes within life cycles and the hidden capacities of things. For the creation of her works, she uses organic, transitional and solid materials where steel, carbon and glass play principal roles. These components, which are extensively used and fabricated by humans, are displayed by Conzelmann in an innovative way. While presenting heavy materials with a delicate and even soft touch, she reveals latent capabilities and compositions concealed within the objects and their substances. Her interconnected elements invite us to shift focus to the ongoing interactions among the micro and the macro and the subtlety of their balances. During the opening, she deepened the audience's perspective with her literary performance.
