Schoengeist
A curated slop-free collection of things I genuinely enjoy.
A dear person once called me Schoengeist. I didn't like it at first, but now I appreciate it.
bruder-klaus-feldkapelle. its architect zumthor created this chapel in a farm field, far away from any urban noise. radiates clarity and relevance. astonishing. wachendorf, 2025.
fujiko nakaya. fog sculpture in the garden of neue nationalgalerie. transcendental moment of being. and its gone. berlin, 2025.
bourse de commerce and this installation in the rotunda by kimsooja. loss for words. paris, 2024.
everytime beni bischof makes a piece, I find peace.
seeing like peter piller sees things. link and relate. a wonderful task. duesseldorf, 2023.
craftsmanship. lovely. dewar and gicquel: they explore materials, tools, and techniques. one material per exhibition. basel, 2019.
kahlil joseph makes beautiful video art which disrupts linear narratives. it is so refreshing and thought-provoking. saw him first in prague in 2018.
a glimpse into ydessa hendeles huge installational retrospective ‘death to pigs’. albeit her grotesque and painful work I took away not only an uncanny feeling but hope and humour. vienna, 2018.
i saw abbas akhavan at villa stuck in munich in 2017. his art explores themes revolving around destruction and the acts of preservation. it might have been the best exhibition i ever saw so far because it fit beautifully in the architecture and space of the villa stuck.
naoto fukasawa. juice skin. a juice box that feels like fruit skin. the packaging becomes the product. haptic, takeo paper show, japan, 2004.
