We’re already looking forward to Hamburg Art Week next weekend! ✨

From 3–6 September 2026, the founding edition of Hamburg Art Week will bring together artists, galleries, curators, institutions, and art professionals across the city.

And many of our SALOON Hamburg members are involved in all kinds of ways: as art mediators leading the Walk & Talk tours for the Landesverband Hamburger Galerien, as exhibiting artists in off-spaces, galleries and institutions, as curators and gallerists – and much more!

Tell us in the comments: What are you involved in? What are you organising? Where are you exhibiting? And where can we find you during Hamburg Art Week?

We’d love to know – and are excited to see you around. ✨

A rainy July day didn’t stop us! ☔

In July, we had the pleasure of visiting the NDR campus together with SALOON Hamburg member Andrea Völker and Branka de Veer. During the tour they carefully researched and developed, we learned so much about the history of broadcasting in Hamburg, the site’s architecture, and the NDR art collection.

A huge thank you to Andrea and Branka for their dedication, generosity, and the wealth of knowledge they shared with us. We highly recommend this tour!
We rounded off the afternoon with relaxed conversations over picnic in the NDR canteen.

Great to join @saloonhamburg meeting last month and meet some of our members. We visited a 40 foot container for an interactive guided tour of the exhibition ZUGUNRUHE by Sarah Gramotke, Viktoria Rochambeau, Vilja Gunzelmann, & Oksana Yushko. During my time in Hamburg, also met Saloon baby Oskar, who recently visited my work and sent over a selfie from the museum. 👶 #saloonhamburg #saloontoronto #saloonnetwork taken in Hamburg, Germany by @saloonhamburg

In June, we visited the current exhibition in the 40ft container. “ZUGUNRUHE” is taking place from 5 June to 19 July 2026 as part of the Triennial of Photography.

SALOON Hamburg member Viktoria Rochambeau, together with her colleague Vilja Gunzelmann and the artist Oksana Yushko, invited us to an artist talk. Many thanks for the in-depth insights into your collaboration, curatorial decisions and artistic strategy – a fascinating conversation in an extraordinary venue!

Some impressions from our first two SALOON meetings!
In April and May we took the chance of our new start as Hamburg board to invite all members for a workshop: what makes our network strong, what do we want to add and how do we envision the future of SALOON Hamburg? Thanks to everyone who came for sharing your thoughts, ideas, time and delicious food with us. And thanks to the City of Hamburg for providing this beautiful space 🍵
The inspiration from the workshops will stay with us and some plants are already starting to grow 💚

We are looking forward to our meetings in June and July!

Today we are happy to introduce our next board member Hannah Bode:
Hannah Bode (she/her) is in the final stages of her master’s degree in art history at the University of Hamburg. In her research focus on contemporary art and modernism, she is particularly interested in queer-feminist and postcolonial perspectives.

The next board member we would like to introduce today is Bärbel Praun:

Bärbel Praun (she/her) is a visual artist working at the intersection of photography, sculpture, and installation. Her work explores the relationship between object, material, and space, as well as the value of our everyday material world and the visibility of process and time. Complex and often invisible issues such as climate change, resource exploitation, and ecological responsibility inform both the content and methodology of her practice. Fragility and ephemerality are central to her work, alongside questions of balance, interdependence, and coexistence. Since 2020, she has been part of the Italian-German artist duo Celata & Praun.

Recent exhibitions include Kunstverein Wagenhalle Stuttgart (DE), Espaço Mira (PRT), La Biennale dello Stretto (IT), Galerie Heike Strelow (DE), and the XXIII Cerveira International Art Biennial (PRT). She was recently a scholarship holder and guest artist at the Bienal de Cerveira in Vila Nova de Cerveira (PRT) and Atelier Josepha in Ahrenshoop.

Today, we would like to introduce our first board member, Si-Ying Fung:

Si-Ying Fung (she/her) is a visual artist and art and culture mediator.
In her work, she keeps coming back to the relationship between place and identity and the feeling of belonging. This has sparked her interest in labels and categories, and especially in how they can fail. In search of her own language for the narratives between things and how they can be physically perceived, she creates objects and installations. By arranging things in space, connections and stories (between them) become visible.

After studying Chinese Studies and Art History at the University of Hamburg, Illustration at HAW Hamburg, and Fine Arts at Muthesius University of Fine Arts and Design — as well as being a guest student at the China Academy of Art in Hangzhou — Si-Ying now lives and works in Hamburg as a visual artist and art and culture mediator.

She has received scholarships from the DAAD and the Claussen-Simon Foundation, and has been an Artist in Residence at Salzamt Linz (AUT), the Totatoga Cultural Cluster in Busan (KOR), and the Sasso Residency in Vairano (CHE).

Christine Brey – Beteiligung an der Gruppenausstellung RESONANCE (21.08.-13.11.2025) im Raum THE SPACE (geöffnet Mi-Sa, 12:00-18:30 Uhr)
.
Künstler:innen: Anna Bochkova, Christine Brey, Sarice Brudet, Simon Hehemann, Helen Hu, Julian Kerkoff, Inna Levison, Shinoh Nam, Julia Nordholz, Robin Rhode, Thomas Scheibitz, The Schmidt, Stefan Wiens
.
Die Ausstellung „RESONANCE“ zeigt Arbeiten von 13 internationalen zeitgenössischen Künstler:innen und präsentiert ein breites Spektrum zu diesem vielschichtigen Thema. Künstlerische Praktiken und Forschungen treten in Resonanz mit kulturellen und sozialen Zusammenhängen. Sie greifen Fragen auf zu komplexen Interferenzen und Machtdynamiken, die unsere Gesellschaft und Umwelt prägen.
.
Resonanz von lat. für Widerhall reicht von physikalisch (mitschwingen) bis gesellschaftlich (Reaktionen erzeugen).
.
CHRISTINE BREYS SERIE “Familienaufstellung” widmet sich der Sichtbarmachung verborgener familiärer Strukturen. Ausgangspunkt für den Titel ist die Methode der systemischen Familienaufstellung, in der Beziehungen, Bindungen und Verstrickungen innerhalb einer Familie ans Licht gebracht werden, die häufig über Generationen hinweg nachwirken. Die dargestellten Figuren sind verhüllt; die Tücher legen sich wie eine zweite Haut über die Körper und lassen nur schemenhafte Konturen erkennen. In der Kunstgeschichte hat der Schleier eine lange Tradition – als Symbol für das Geheimnisvolle, für Übergänge zwischen Sichtbarkeit und Unsichtbarkeit, Präsenz und Abwesenheit. Bei Möbeln wiederum erhält die Verhüllung mit Tüchern eine andere Bedeutung: Sie steht für Schutz, aber auch für Vergänglichkeit – verdeckt, was nicht mehr gebraucht wird, und verweist zugleich auf die Abwesenheit von Leben, Bewegung und Nutzung. In dieser Serie wird die Verhüllung zu einem Bild für die Schichten von Geschichte, Erinnerung und Herkunft, die unser Leben prägen.

Christine Breys Arbeit „Smile from Above“ ist Teil der Sonderausstellung „Auswandern auf Mond, Mars, Venus?“ im Deutschen Auswandererhaus Bremerhaven.
Zu sehen vom 5.7.25 – 7.1.26.
.
„Seit jeher zieht das Weltall die Menschheit in seinen Bann. Erste Spuren dieser Verlockung finden wir in der Steinzeit und sie ziehen sich fort bis heute in Kunst, Geschichte und Wissenschaft. Doch was erwartet uns wirklich dort draußen? Können wir im All überleben?
Und was bedeutet es für uns als Menschheit, ferne Planeten zu bereisen oder sogar zu besiedeln? … Das Deutsche Auswandererhaus lädt ein zu einer aufregenden Reise durch Visionen der Science-Fiction-Literatur und zeitgenössischen Kunst, durch aktuelle Forschungsergebnisse und gesellschaftspolitische Fragen zum Leben auf Mond, Mars und Venus.“ — Deutsches Auswandererhaus
.
Das Objekt „Smile from Above“ erinnert an einen Spiegel, zeigt jedoch statt eines Spiegelbildes den Mond. Dass es weder Vorder- noch Rückseite hat und drehbar ist, spiegelt die Korrelation zwischen Erde und Mond wider. Ein Spiegel reflektiert nicht nur das Äußere, sondern symbolisiert oft auch die Suche nach Identität und Wahrheit. Der Mond und der Spiegel stehen beide für Reflexion, Veränderungund verborgene Wahrheiten – und erinnern uns daran, dass nichts statisch ist, sondern alles im Wandel bleibt. — Christine Brey
