Osmar Osten is regarded by many as a language artist and a virtuoso verbal trickster. First and foremost, however, Osten is a painter who draws language into his painting, examining it both in terms of meaning and for its visual force.
 
Born in 1959 in Karl-Marx-Stadt (GDR), Osten’s artistic development received decisive impulses during the 1980s through his association with the artist group Clara Mosch and the Galerie Oben.

And it is not only language that recurs throughout Osten’s works, but also his motifs: alongside the aforementioned hares, birds, fish, and snowmen, motifs drawn from the folk art traditions of the Ore Mountains – such as nutcrackers, incense smokers, and miners‘ figures – populate his paintings. Rooted in precise observations of everyday life, this world of imagery and language forms a self-contained and coherent structure from which questions concerning contemporary political, social, and economic realities continually emerge.
 
In 2022, Osten was awarded the Hans-Platschek-Preis für Kunst und Schrift for „his post-Dadaist painting and his ironic short texts.“ In 2025, during the European Capital of Culture Chemnitz 2025, Osten was among the defining artistic voices of the region, notably through his participation in the Purple Path. (transl. from the German press release)
 
At Galerie Mountains, Osmar Osten had solo exhibitions in 2022 and 2024, and will be presented by the gallery in the upcoming 2026 edition of Basel Social Club (alongside Eric Meier) this June.

Shinoh Nam, b. 1993, lives in Berlin and Seoul. — His artistic practice unfolds at the intersection of sculpture, architecture, and design, engaging questions of psychoanalysis and cultural displacement. Nam’s sculptures, installations, and two-dimensional works oscillate between construction and collapse, between the functional and the personal.
 
Extending the spatial concerns of his previous exhibitions, Nam conceives the presentation at Mountains as a fragmented ‚house,‘ in which only the floor plan is delineated. The artist, in collaboration with architect Changki Kim, drew inspiration from the film Dogville and applied the structural concept of a house to the exhibition through the use of architectural drawings. Within this open structure, viewers move through loosely defined interior zones that stage encounters between objects, gestures, and psychological states.

The exhibition shifts focus from architectural exteriors to interior space, using furniture and domestic elements to examine relationships between humans, objects, and the systems that organize them. References to Victorian, modernist, and postmodern design intersect, unsettling linear narratives of progress and revealing how ideas of ‚good design‘ become institutionalized and absorbed into systems of value and consumption.

Fatima Hellberg writes in the exhibition catalogue ‚David Medalla. Parables of Friendship‘ (Bonner Kunstverein and Museion Bolzano, 2021/2022):

Medalla’s use of masks alludes to the paradox of identity, to that of disguise
and of performance. Akin to his practice of collaging visas and passports
as imagined identity documents, Medalla was acutely aware of the role his
identity played in his engagement with the West. His ability to hide behind
a mask, often created with a collage-like approach, enabled him to ironically
embody the iconography of advertising and Western consumerism. In a
1978 interview with artist Rasheed Araeen, Medalla talks at length about his
resistance to himself and his work being assumed within a Western canon,
and with the mask this resistance to a fixed identity is clearly met.

(...) The paper mask is a device that has recurred throughout his career, most
prolifically in his later years. Here the simple act of cutting or tearing a
magazine or newspaper page in a symmetrical pattern to form eye and mouth
holes to be worn or simply held in front of the face momentarily creates
a quick and effective transformative device. When hung on the wall, these
masks evoke the masks of Greek theatre, while examining them up close
the subtle humour of the chosen content of the pages that form the masks
appear in direct conversation with his collage practice.

His masks are immediate and engaging, alluding to the possibility of performance,
and as such, often incorporated into his impromptus. Medalla’s ability
to suspend belief in his audiences, while embracing humour in making fun of
the discarded and disposable waste of consumption. A profound reflection
at times living with limited means. The mask enabled Medalla to take one
step further in his ability to shift, adapt and adopt new identities and personas
in his constantly shifting world.
