Aliou Diack (Badou) is a Senegalese artist, living and working in Dakar, Senegal. Fundamentally, Diack ́s concept / comprehension of art goes far beyond painting itself. By expressing himself through visual language and using his paintings as an aid, he is searching for a way of sustainable “sharing” and reflecting the art system and its circulation. His work was presented in Art Basel 2022 and he had his most recent show at Galerie Michael Fuchs in Berlin in autumn 2022. During his residency at Gaswerksiedlung, inspired by the huge industrial wastelands behind the community, Aliou will reflect on the ephemeral superiority that European industrialization gained to dominate the world only in order to leave exhausted lands and societies.

Anna Bresoli's work is recognized for the strength of its subjects: decontextualized, isolated, and nostalgic. It’s a production that feels absolutely in tune with the concerns of our generation.

Her work has been exhibited at world-renowned fairs like Fotofever (Paris), Afoco (Cordoba), Positions (Berlin), JustMad (Madrid) and her images have been published in several printed media in Spain and in digital magazines around the world.

Berlin-based Japanese clay artist, Ayu Ohinata graduated from Art University in Japan, before starting to create clay artworks. Tsubumaru (a small round piece) expresses ‘a cell of life’.

Thus, through her artworks, she attempts to capture mundane, trivial, and crucial moments, things, and connections that remind us of how we came to exist.

The creative experience of French-German interdisciplinary artist Isabelle Tellié stretches from fashion and fabric design to large-size metal welding and sculpturing, passing through the layered optical illusions of her laser-cut paper or acryl compositions. Whatever the materials and the magnitude, she has a playful yet thought-provoking way to get us to question our sense of reality. In the meanwhile, Isabelle’s work is ever concerned with a deeper investigation of both personal and global mind structures. By building her own “tiny house” she intended to further motivate other people to rethink their own lifestyle with more awareness. During the Gaswerk Art Days, we will experience the Tiny House as a mini gallery and we will get to know her last interactive art project, “Mission Dandelion”. By symbolically representing ideas, love, innovation and actions as seeds, participants are encouraged to share their unique voices with the world, creating a ripple effect that extends beyond our immediate perception.
