In mid-February 2023, our artist residency in Havana welcomed German artists Felix Leon Westner and Sarah Lehnerer who spent a month living and working in the Cuban capital.

To mark the last week of Coline Marotta's current exhibition 'Night Emails to Friends', we asked Marotta how she felt post-opening, about her motifs and the inspirations for her new paintings, and her thoughts on doubt as a central premise within her process.

In the following interview associate director at Brigade, Emma Kollien Gjerde, sat down with gallery artist Garrett Pruter, to talk about the inspiration behind his show, the motivations for the 'erasure' employed in 'The Birds (3)', and his new series of photographic works.

On the occasion of Brigade's current exhibition with Albert Grøndahl (b. 1985), 'Things Fall Apart; The Centre Cannot Hold', we asked Grøndahl a few questions about the exhibition's title, his interest in Rome's enclosed gardens, and his distinctive use of photographic techniques.

The current group exhibition 'Trust in Mortals' explores the complexities of the human experience through the eyes of four meticulous and uniquely different observers; from Harms' steel-like relationships to his subjects and Moritz's immersive empathy, to the technical constructs of Robles de Medina's seemingly emblematic paintings and Touborg's near-futuristic investigations into the relationship between humankind, nature and technology. To gain some valuable insight into Touborg's practice and to get his thoughts on the exhibition, we asked a few questions.

On 09 June Brigade opened the exhibition 'Earth, Wind & Fire' by Peruvian-German artist Berenike Corcuera. The exhibition is Corcuera's first solo and depicts Corcuera's search for identity and belonging in western contemporary spirituality through a series of large colorful appliqué works. After the opening we asked her about her thoughts on the process, what each earthly element represents to her and what her mother thought about her picture being included in one of her works.

In conjunction with Coline Marotta's current exhibition, Brigade's Artistic Director, Michael Bank Christoffersen sat down to have a conversation with Marotta about her practice, what she feared the most during the preparation of the show and her thoughts on being a slow painter.

Tomaso Binga (b.1931), whose solo exhibition 'Poesia Muta' is currently on display at Brigade, shares her thoughts on her first solo exhibition in Scandinavia, the role of language in her works, and her biggest dream...
