You, too. Take care. Anna Grath (*1983 in Immenstadt) lives and works in Hamburg. In her constructive and minimalist works, she combines a wide variety of objects and everyday materials. Her works have been shown at the
Falckenberg Collection / Deichtorhallen, the Kunstverein Bremerhaven, the Kunsthalle Wilhelmshaven, the Kunsthaus Hamburg and the Kunsthalle Recklinghausen, among others. Grath was awarded the Hiscox Art Prize in Hamburg in 2013. She was shortlisted for the ars viva Prize 2019 and is a scholarship holder of Neue Kunst in Hamburg, the Stiftung Kunstfonds Bonn and the Hamburger Arbeitsstipendium. Works by Anna Grath have been acquired by the Collection of Contemporary Art of the Federal Republic of Germany and the Kunsthalle Hamburg. Since 2022, a group of Anna Grath's works has been part of an exhibition at the Kunsthalle Hamburg. Hoda Tawakol (*1968 in London) is a French-Egyptian artist who lives and works in Hamburg. Her practice is based on the twin pillars of wit and criticality. Her colorful, captivating textile works - collages, sculptures, installations - sparkle with vitality while addressing compelling questions about gender and body control. Tawakol's work has been exhibited in numerous institutions and galleries in Germany, including the Dortmunder Kunstverein, the Schirn Kunsthalle in Frankfurt, the Weserburg Museum für moderne Kunst in Bremen, Religio Westfälisches Museum für religiöse Kultur in Telgte, the Kunstverein Hamburg, the Kunsthaus in Hamburg. She has exhibited internationally at the Museum for Art in Wood in Philadelphia, at Metrohan in Istanbul, at Galerie Isabelle van den Eynde in Dubai, at Galerie Sfeir-Semler in Hamburg and Beirut, at Galerie Ruttkowski68 in Düsseldorf and in New York, at Beton Art Space in Denmark. Anna Lena Grau (*1980 in Hamburg) works experimentally with the sensitive characteristics of different materials and their use in traditional techniques such as glass blowing or casting. Her works have been shown in various group exhibitions, including at the Kunsthalle Erfurt, the Falckenberg Collection, the Galerie im Körnerpark in Berlin, the Benyamini Gallery in Tel Aviv and the Kunsthalle Kiel. For her artistic work, she has received a working scholarship from the Kunstfonds Foundation, the Hamburg Working Scholarship and residency scholarships at the Künstlerhaus Lauenburg and the Trittauer Wassermühle. In 2019, Textem Verlag published her work overview "Positionsbestimmungen und andere Erzählungen". Verena Schöttmer (born 1980 in Meppen) is a Hamburg-based multimedia artist whose practice includes installations, sculptures and painting. In her work, she combines manifestations of traditional arts and crafts with (pop) culture, social codes and quotations from society, as well as scenes of human relationships and spiritual processes. Schöttmer has been awarded numerous scholarships, including the Georg Meistermann Scholarship, Germany (2013-2015); the Scholarship of the Ministry of Culture and Media, Hamburg (2014); the Scholarship of the Stiftung Kunstfonds Deutschland (2020) and the Dorothea Erxleben Scholarship (2021-2023).
She has exhibited nationally and internationally, including at Kunstverein Hamburg, Germany; Griffith's Arts Center,
Canton, New York; Kunstverein im Weißen Haus, Vienna and Galerie Barbara Thumm, Berlin. Most recently she was an artist in residency at the 18th Street Art Center Los Angeles. Anna Mieves (*1982, Hamburg) works on a large scale and in a spatial manner. Using materials such as plaster, soap, plastic or tin, she creates bodies that can be experienced in space. Sometimes convex, sometimes concave - sometimes inside, sometimes outside - sometimes part, sometimes whole - her composed arrangements question orders and systems. Viewers find themselves in narratives that pause ambiguously in time, between what has been and what has not yet been completed. Like traces of an event, fragmentary, sculptural bodies present themselves as both positive and negative forms, shape and impression. The referents are often no longer recognizable - it is a game of presence and absence, spinning in time loops. For her work Cut Out, Mieves collected truck spoilers from scrap yards and painted them in matt shades of lilac, blue and red. Leaning against the wall and lying on the floor, the surfaces bulge into expansive hollow forms. Originally, they were fitted above and to the side of the driver's cab, taking on the function of an air deflector or air deflector and forming a bridge between the driver's cab and the cargo area. Dwelling, sizes in relation, standardization, bodies in motion, physicality - viewing the works opens up a wide range of associations.
