AD/AD - Project Space

Upcoming: “Samuel Henne – untitled (note to self)”
– Soft Opening & Booklaunch – Saturday, September 6th.

With “Palm Press – Launch Lounge”, the ad/ad – Project Space is pleased to initiate a format that combines “pop-up exhibitions” with the launch of publications.

“untitled (note to self)” uses fragmentary text images to explore aspects that oscillate between self-talk, confrontation, mantra, and cautionary plea. Among other things, the work addresses the construction of identity and refers to the idea of the “self as other” as well as questions of perception, reality, and ethos. The “self” in the title as the addressee remains open to interpretation within the image motifs and notes—as an inner monologue, future self, or observing counterpart.
Coming from a primarily studio-based practice, Samuel Henne’s current works, bring him back to a more personal and intuitive artistic process.
As a singular series “untitled (note to self)” stems from an overarching work complex „cosmos“ that is ongoing since 2023.

“Palm Press – Launch Lounge“ at ad/ad, is a new format that combines “pop-up exhibitions“ with the launch of publications.

Ana Halina Ringleb’s exhibition “Warum macht das irgendwas aus? (Why does it even matter?)“ explores visibility and the question of how anger is recognized and legitimized. Understood as a shared experience and a potential source of power, anger forms the basis for the accompanying publication “Warum hab ich einen so kurzen Rock an? (Why am I wearing such a short skirt?)“ – a transcribed conversation composed entirely of questions, reflecting on anger from diverse perspectives, including who is even allowed to express it.
