Oliver Braig “summertime sadness” | July 20–September 20, 2025
Oliver Braig's art is characterized by a playful approach to words, meanings, and materials, the sensual appeal of surfaces, and a subtle irony. He has developed works especially for this exhibition and installed them in relation to the single room. Large, almost dramatic contents, HOPE, LESS, MESS, AGE, formulated in cardboard and piled up against the wall, meet high-end surfaces that look as if they are deep, but are definitely completely flat. Influenced by minimal art and concept art, Braig creates sensual art with which he questions social norms and systems. He confronts viewers with surprising changes of perspective that precisely create space for their own interpretations. It is set to be a hot summer, and the “summertime sadness” will gently but surely take hold of visitors. Swoosh!
