Dittrich Schlechtriem Gallery (Berlin, Germany) participates in Art Cologne 2024 with a presentation of artworks by Julian Charrière, Zuzanna Czebatul, Marta Dyachenko, Monty Richthofen, and Lukas Städler. Each artist engages with concepts of borders — whether environmental, political, or social — addressing how these boundaries are created, challenged, and reshaped by human intervention and natural forces. In this video, Carl Hohrath (Dittrich Schlechtriem) provides us with an overview of the artists and works on display.
Lukas Städler has been selected for Art Cologne New Positions 2024 and exhibits a new body of work after his first solo exhibition Ouvertüre with the gallery in Berlin in summer 2024, which was immediately followed by his first institutional solo show HAIN at Fotografiska Berlin. For New Positions, Städler presents works from his ongoing cruising series, alongside new works documenting friends, strangers, animals, landscapes, and waterscapes.

00:00Hello, welcome to our booth. Dittich & Schlechtriem from Berlin.
00:15We show a mixed overview of our program.
00:18We show Julien Chayer, who has a large exhibition in Palais des Tokyos.
00:22We show Susanna Cebatul, who works here with these two,
00:25and the great Ecstasy Pill.
00:28We also show Lukas Staedtler, who won the New Positions prize,
00:32who is a little separated here on these wooden walls.
00:35We are also very happy that the collection of contemporary art of the Federal Republic of Germany
00:40was able to acquire one of the works by Susanna Cebatul.
00:43Lukas Staedtler's works are a little separated here on the wooden walls.
00:47His photographs are taken from the cruising scene,
00:51from different subcultures that make up an important part, especially in Berlin.
00:56They are intimate, emotional, and also very personal photographs,
01:01which we are allowed to present here.
01:03To get to the audience, the big Ecstasy Pill by Susanna Cebatul.
01:10On one side it says reality, on the other side it says embargo.
01:14These are two words that actually have a political connotation.
01:18But she tries to put them in a different context with a very hedonistic object.
01:25All in all, she is a very political activist and artist,
01:28as you can see from the works in front of you.
01:33These two works here in gray, these two sculptures,
01:37represent a way of reflecting communication across borders.
01:43In general, the border is a connecting element here at our booth.
01:48The border crossings, the border crossings,
01:51the problematizations of the border crossing or the border in general
01:55play a major role in our very political position this year.
