What are you currently working on—and what do you find particularly stimulating or challenging about it?
Right now, we’re getting ready for Jesse Darling’s first solo exhibition at the gallery, opening during Berlin Art Week in September. At the same time, we’re preparing our Art Basel debut: a presentation of Dora Budor’s work for Art Basel Paris in October. Both projects are demanding, but also incredibly exciting and energising.
Do you have a daily ritual that gives you structure or inspiration?
No coffee after noon.
What kind of music do you listen to when you want to focus or reconnect with your creative process?
At the moment, it’s more about podcasts on my way to the gallery—especially ›Ones and Tooze‹. They help to take a step back.
Has there been a book that fundamentally changed your perspective—and why would you recommend it?
The children’s books by Eva-Maria Ott-Heidmann, for the illustrations and the rhymes.
Is there a work of art you would love to have in your home?
One of Nairy Baghramian’s ›Dwindler‹ pieces.
Which exhibition venue in Berlin inspires you?
Haus am Waldsee.
Is there an object that accompanies you and reflects a part of your identity?
A very small bag, with just enough space for the essentials.
What keeps you going, even in moments of doubt?
The artists I work with.
Which personality would you like to have a conversation with—and what would you talk about?
With Steve McQueen—about his exhibition at Schaulager in Basel.
What do you look forward to when your working day comes to an end?
My daughters.
