Von der Hochschule in die Galerie
Studierende der Hochschule der bildenden Künste (HBK) Essen präsentieren ihre Arbeiten in der Galerie Obrist
Eintauchen in die Galeriearbeit
In der Lehrveranstaltung “Inside Gallery” haben Studierende aus den Bachelor- und Masterstudiengängen Fotografie/ Medienkunst, Malerei/ Grafik, Skulptur/ Installation sowie Kunst und Kooperation einen professionellen Einblick in die Arbeit einer Galerie erhalten. Der Galerist und Kunsthistoriker Torsten Obrist ermöglicht den Blick hinter die Kulissen und beantwortet in der Praxis Fragen wie: Wie wird eine Ausstellung geplant? Welche Kunstwerke werden ausgewählt und für die finale Hängung arrangiert? Wie wird eine Ausstellung kuratiert? Wie werden die Preise für die Kunstwerke festgelegt? Das theoretisch gewonnene Wissen setzen die Studierenden innerhalb des Semesters in die Tat um. Das Seminar fand vor Ort in der Galerie unter der Leitung von Torsten Obrist und Carsten Gliese, Professor für Fotografie/Medienkunst der HBK Essen, statt. Die erfolgreiche Kooperation im Zuge einer Lehrveranstaltung an der HBK Essen geht dieses Jahr bereits in die dritte Runde.
WHERE IS MY MIND?
Ab dem 27. Juni 2025 zeigen die Studierenden eine Ausstellung unter dem Titel WHERE IS MY MIND? ihre meist neu entwickelten Arbeiten. Bereits seit Anfang Februar 2025 laufen die Vorbereitungen, unter anderem mit dem eigens erstellten Instagramkanal @whereismymind_exhibition.

Dieter Nuhr: Spain, Playa d´en Bossa 01, 2024
Digital collage / drawing on paper, 42 x 58 cm
Time-limited edition, numbered and hand-signed
(regular gallery price 900 EUR)
In cooperation with Dieter Nuhr, we have created this high-quality edition that shows a beautiful Spanish coastal landscape. In his typical manner, Nuhr has modified the photographic image using digital and analogue means so that only a distant hint of the original landscape appears.
Dieter Nuhr donates his fee for this work of art to the Stiftung RTL – We help children, keyword eye clinic Zambia! You now have the opportunity to purchase this special work at a uniquely affordable price and at the same time support an important project in Zambia. Sales take place exclusively online and in the week from Wednesday, November 27th, 2024, 00:00 a.m. to Friday, December 6th, 2024, 11:59 p.m .
Dieter Nuhr
Most people know Dieter Nuhr as a comedian or cabaret artist from numerous TV formats, his satirical annual review or as the host of “Nuhr im Erste” on ARD. Nuhr’s tour has been one of the most successful in German-speaking countries for more than 15 years.
What fewer people know: Nuhr studied fine arts at the former Folkwang School in Essen. He never stopped producing images, first as a painter, then as a photographer with self-made cameras, and later with professional equipment. In recent years he has had numerous exhibitions in galleries and museums.
The RTL Foundation – “We help children: Eye Clinic Zambia” supports the construction of an eye clinic in Zambia that specifically focuses on the treatment of children. The aim is to use simple surgical procedures to preserve young people’s eyesight and protect them from the threat of blindness. Blindness is a widespread problem in Zambia, particularly affecting children. Without early treatment, there is a risk of permanent blindness, which cannot be cured later. With your support we can enable many children to have a future with vision.

“My paintings include things, which contradict the motivic logic. This irritation is important for me, because life is like this. You always find disruptions in reality, magical or lyrical moments in everyday life, when you don’t understand anything and nothing fits together. But in the end everything joins to build a wonderful new scenery.”
