JORINDE VOIGT

Jorinde Voigt is an internationally renowned German artist. Her focus is on the exploration of language and writing in relation to complex geometric forms and structures. Voigt often uses graphic notations and diagrams to express her artistic ideas. Her work is characterised by great intensity and consistency in form and content. She deals with themes such as language, writing, music and mathematics and asks questions in her works about the connection between logic and intuition, rationality and emotion. Her work has been shown in numerous solo and group exhibitions around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris and the Städel Museum in Frankfurt.

DANNI PANTEL

Danni Pantel is a German artist who lives and works in Berlin. Her large-format paintings and sculptures in a colour scale of strongly contrasting complementary colours are not a depiction of the outside world. Rather, they resist the representation of the concrete. In a spontaneous-gestural process, the inner world manifests itself in strong colours on the canvas. What is sought is an unobstructed view of colours and forms that are to be captured before they are sifted through the grid of the cultural code. When Danni Pantel inscribes herself in the tradition of abstract modernism, the ironic refraction of the grand expressive gesture that is natural for an artist of her generation must also be considered. The choice of poetic-situationist titles makes it clear that the pathos of yesteryear has had its day here.

GERWALD ROCKENSCHAUB

Gerwald Rockenschaub is one of Austria's most internationally renowned visual artists and is also a successful (techno) musician and DJ. Music is part of his cultural background, against which a complex visual oeuvre has emerged, from the geometrically constructed oil paintings of the early 1980s, which can be assigned to the "Neo-Geo" style, to machine-made Plexiglas panels and huge inflatable PVC objects, to the more recent computer-generated animations. Gerwald Rockenschaub's work is characterised by analytical thinking and the principle of reduction to a few but essential elements and structures. His spatial installations in the Austrian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale in 1993 or in the Museum moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig Wien in 2005 are on the one hand to be understood as minimalist objects, on the other hand they refer to the exhibition conditions of contemporary art in the so-called White Cube. To this end, he sometimes intervenes directly in the architecture of the respective exhibition spaces in order to reveal or reverse the relationship between viewer, artwork and space, so that the exhibition visitors themselves become an (aesthetic) component of the installation. He can currently be seen with the exhibition circuit cruise / feasible memory/regulator at the Museum Belevedere in Vienna.

MICHAEL LAUBE

Michael Laube is a German painter and installation artist. His wall works, created towards the end of the 1990s, are influenced by colour field painting. They show his endeavour to develop a spatial painting. He arranged colours three-dimensionally on transparent acrylic glass. From 2000 onwards, his work is also characterised by his preoccupation with architecture. He created works that show representational architectural fragments. The focus was not primarily on the spatial theme. Rather, it was about making architecture "readable". From 2003 onwards, works were created that not only have the space as their theme, but also occupy it completely. They represent a formal confrontation with space. Like Donald Judd, in whose tradition the artist's works stand, Michael Laube has defined space as his primary field of action. His works open up not least through a change of perspective. Just as the viewer changes his standpoint, his perspective on the object, the object also changes in its relationship to the viewer.

HENRIK EIBEN


Henrik Eiben is a German draughtsman, painter and sculptor. He lives and works in Hamburg. In his works he explores the field of abstract minimalist painting. To do this, he uses a wide variety of materials such as metal, leather, wood and glass. His resulting sculptures, spatial installations and drawings impress with clear and consistent design principles such as reduction and precision. The relationship between space and form and the question of where sculpture begins and painting or drawing ends is the starting point of his works. Henrik Eiben's watercolours reflect the artist's wealth of ideas. Once blocky and intense, once very delicate, poetically put on paper with watercolours. The watercolour tolerates no correction, shows the irretrievability of the immediate expression. Here one watches the artist in the immediate development of his forms and colour combinations. His works are represented worldwide by galleries in New York, Berlin, Cologne and Zurich.

ABOUT THE COLLECTORS ROOM

The Collectors Room was founded in 2016 by Andrea von Goetz in Hamburg. The carefully curated solo and group exhibitions offer a platform for young and established contemporary positions and bring together collectors and artists. Firmly established in the Hamburg art scene as a venue for contemporary art, the Collectors Room is as much at home in the physical world as it is in the digital as a hybrid format. Cooperations with European galleries expand the radius of activities, as does the current expansion of the Collectors Room with the exhibition MORE THAN MINIMAL in Bad Gastein, Austria.
