Since April 2020, our ART MATTERS open call has offered artists the opportunity to apply for an online exhibition with us two to three times a year. We select nine finalists from all the applications and present them on our website and Instagram for two weeks. At the end of the exhibition, we will select two winners of our online competition and invite them to take part in a physical group exhibition in our gallery space. BERGERNISSEN (Alisa Berger/Lena Ditte Nissen), Hyein Jang, Jakob Limmer and Gabriele Ludewig are the winners of our ART MATTERS issues 12 and 13.

They have presented their installations and performances at a variety of venues worldwide, including the Museo del Banco de la Republica, KAI10 | Arthena Foundation, Kunstverein Heidelberg and Bangkok Arts and Culture Center.
