Hein Spellmann (b. 1962 in Bassum, Germany) is a Berlin-based artist whose practice combines photography and object art. His work focuses on urban spaces and architectural façades, transforming photographic fragments into three-dimensional objects.

Building Skin, Spellmann’s fifth solo exhibition at Gallery Thomassen, explores the architecture of Tokyo, Gothenburg, and The Hague. Single three-dimensional façade objects featuring photographic details of buildings are arranged in varying forms, colours, and lighting to create an urban composition within the gallery space.

Since 1996, Spellmann has exhibited regularly in exhibitions in Germany and internationally. His works are held in numerous private and public collections, including the National Museum Szczecin, Museum Ephraim-Palais, Berlin City Museum, and the National Public Art Council, Sweden.

Opening tomorrow:
Erik Kihlbaum - ”There’s a riot next door”
12.09 - 04.10 2026

__

In There’s a riot next door, images of leisure, wealth and privilege unfold like fragments from a private archive.

Ski resorts, swimming pools and holidays evoke a world seemingly insulated from whatever lies beyond its borders. Drawn from photographs of the past, the images nevertheless speak insistently to the present.
They inhabit the uneasy space between nostalgia and denial, beauty and detachment. A portrait of privilege not through excess itself, but through the luxury of looking away.

Erik Kihlbaum (born 1976 in Örebro) lives and works in Stockholm. He studied at Umeå Academy of Fine Arts and the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm. He has exhibited at, among others, Örebro Konsthall, Rättviks Konsthall, Galleri Steinsland Berliner in Stockholm, and Gallery 0-0 LA in Los Angeles. His works are represented in municipalities and regional authorities throughout Sweden, as well as at Moderna Museet, the British Museum, His Majesty the King’s Graphic Collection, and in private and corporate collections.

Adam Kajander - ”Procedural Architecture”

Part of the ongoing graduation exhibition “This Way”, featuring the newly graduated master’s students from the Craft Department at HDK-Valand – Academy of Art and Design. On view until Sunday 17th



This project explores how tools shape the process of making.Ceramic craft is guided by tools that come with inherited expectations — how they’re held, what gestures they allow, and the forms they tend to produce. For this project, I’ve built tools with no link to ceramic craft to interrupt those habits and open up new movements. I treat tools as active participants in the process. In the approach I’m working with now, body, tool, and clay interact directly, and the form grows out of that exchange.

As a counteract to everything we were taught about treasures, I began to search for traces of my late father. Around his studio there were familiar signs of him in unfinished projects and coffee stains. I found that the stain is not necessarily a flaw, but a finding. The nature of the stains is careless and yet care
returns with the gesture of noticing.

Considering the clay as a sacrificial surface, I let residues from coffee travel across, through and within the object, leaving a mark that reflects the action but transforms it. The work seeks to reconsider the stain as something worthy of attention – a material that carries meaning and memory.

Nadine Wilde - ”An Ever Changing View”

Part of the ongoing graduation exhibition “This Way”, featuring the newly graduated master’s students from the Craft Department at HDK-Valand – Academy of Art and Design. On view until Sunday 17th



An Ever Changing View is a woven sculptural work that explores the instability and fragmentation of memory. Through an auto-ethnographic approach, it draws on inherited narratives, folklore and a connection to plants, reflecting a layered identity shaped between England and Bulgaria. Blurred, shifting imagery operates as both aesthetic and symbolic means, achieved through processes such as screen-printing and painting directly onto the warp before weaving.

Myrto Patramani - “Always Coming Home”

“Always Coming Home” is an installation grounded in material exploration, symbolism, and storytelling. The installation explores land as both a physical and emotional entity, carrying memory, mythology, and personal history through hybrid sculptures and fantastical landscapes. ”
