“BÜCK DICH HOCH is born from struggle and devotion; the paradox of bending down in order to move upwards. Working with resistant materials that carry the traces of labour, the works in the show are united in their common embrace of doubt and weakness, making it an inherent part of the artistic process. They bend not only to the confines of their own materiality, but address their surroundings: Neither fitting into it seamlessly nor negating it, but standing their ground. 

(…)

Looping through the corridor and around the building, the works of Sander, Homann and Urban cross-reference one another and the industrial architecture of the space. Putting yourself out there while simultaneously working something larger into existence shifts from a personal struggle into a shared existential pursuit.“

Anyone who knows @skh_dus and me usually also knows when our passion for art first began: on a Saturday afternoon at Art Cologne 2010. At that decisive moment, we first met Vicky and Jochen at the Dogenhaus Galerie’s stand (later Galerie Jochen Hempel). What began right there at the fair – over at least one Kölsch – in such a friendly and relaxed atmosphere was to develop into a wonderful friendship shortly afterwards. Vicky and Jochen, and their participation in a wide variety of European art fairs, served as our first guide to the art market, which had been largely unknown to us until then. Leipzig as a city, and the Spinnerei with its galleries and art walks, became a fixture in our calendar for many years. And now, 16 years after it all began, this summer of 2026 brings two pieces of news that are steering this relationship in new directions. Jochen has decided to take a year’s break from running the gallery and is setting off on a grand journey, whilst Vicky is launching her very own art project – based in Milan!

Dear Jochen, dear Vicky, we wish you both, with all our hearts, plenty of energy, wonderful encounters and a great start to these new chapters in your lives! 🍀 And we’re already looking forward to our next meeting with you – wherever that may take us. 😘

The photo above was taken in Berlin on 31 March 2012 and is one of the earliest photos I took of the two of them together.

While Jochen is away travelling, the gallery will continue with a special programme. ✈️

Under 'Jochen Hempel invites', he has invited a number of long-standing companions to take over the gallery spaces with exhibition projects during his absence.

Here’s the programme at a glance. 
We look forward to welcoming you to the gallery!
