In her work, Katrin von Lehmann experiments with techniques of repetition and rhythm. Here, “experimenting” is to be understood in the scientific sense, because in her unique practice, she develops experimental paradigms which she strictly adheres to in her creative process. In this way, the artist turns herself into a machine, an instrument of practice and discovery. Simultaneously, her artworks reveal human fallibility, which repeatedly emerges in the rhythm of their continuous repetition. In her series Oben wird unten, wird! (2025), the weaving of paper results in particularly fascinating artworks. From a distance, no manipulation of the paper is apparent, but upon closer inspection, the weaving of two photographs is clearly recognizable. The play with the visible and the invisible is a central point of tension, as is indicated by the series’ title: Above becomes Below. Woven under each overlapping row is a hidden strand that is not visible to the eye.��Oben wird unten, wird! 2 A

Annette Cords’ tapestries InBetween 3 (2020) and In Other Words (gold) (2022) blend arrows, numbers, and lettering into a collage of signs and symbols, bringing these layered communication tools, which often fill the background of everyday life, into the spotlight. She draws inspiration from her immediate urban environment, where numerous street signs, advertising spaces, flyers, and graffiti tags overlap and complement one another. Using computer technology, Cords translates this visual language first into digital collages and then into punch cards, which eventually undergo a final intermedial transformation into tapestries woven on historic Jacquard looms.��

“Both weaving and coding, in their early stages, require repeated “listening” to the material and embracing unexpected glitches that disrupt the fabric’s uniformity. What is at stake when we see our world as a textile where fibres weave back and forth and around each other? The artists in this exhibition show us that history, memory, and human relationships – often imagined as linear progressions – can be embraced in all their complexities and intersections. “

With the exhibition Encoded Realms, Kang Contemporary highlights the historical connection between analog and digital worlds. The artists featured in the exhibition are distinguished by their unique and innovative collaboration with their respective materials. From computer collages woven on Jacquard looms over photographs where the material is as much a subject as the image, to interweaving materials in digital space that make familiar societal fabrics unrecognisable. In this exhibition, the gallery space becomes an interplay of textures and materials. The fluorescent lights of the New Media artworks are absorbed into the deep interwoven folds of haptic techniques, emphasising the digital space – which often appears two-dimensional and infallible – as three-dimensional and alive.��

Bettina Scholz constructs material explorations through multisheet glass compositions, where alchemical gestures – dripping, spraying, layering, collaging – assemble dense pictorial ecosystems. Inspired by science fiction, Gothic painting, and musical abstraction, her works feel both cosmic and microscopic. At the heart of Scholz’s process is glass, chosen not merely as support but as carrier, filter, and framing device. Scale becomes ambiguous as the glass simultaneously resembles a petri dish in a lab or a window to a vast desert. Drawing inspiration from film soundtracks and speculative and futuristic narratives such as Blade Runner 2049, Scholz translates audible atmospheres into iridescent hues.

Chan Sook Choi treats digital space not as a neutral screen but as a material field, where social and historical tensions manifest through uncanny digital logics. In her video installation, The Tumble (2023), the title-giving rolling, wind‑borne organism serves as both subject and metaphor. As an accidental weaver, it reminds us that non-human actors also shape creative and generative ecosystems. Choi’s previous research led her to Arizona, where she encountered an archive of absence: Instead of the tumble weeds, she encountered biographies of Native American veterans who are complexly marginalised in the US. Choi uncovers personal and collective histories that have been exiled, intentionally or inadvertently, from systems, communities, and territories.

In Monumental Ether.Bodies. (2024), Shin assembles a three-channel video installation in which histories fold onto one another like woven threads. Across three sites, her lens traces anthropocentric violence and its afterlives: Kückenmühler Anstalten in Szczecin, once a locus of forced sterilization; Lisbon’s Tropical Botanical Garden, a living remnant of colonial extraction; and Tancheon Stream in Seoul, steeped in local mythologies. Shin’s fictional future protagonist moves through these layered sites: From the dark and enclosed ruins, into the bright, brimming garden, to the open and vast space of the stream, with the skyline of Seoul towering in the distance. Bodies, plants, and architecture are threads that interlace, absorb, and transform each other through tactile sensibilities. The video reflects history and memory as a continually composed, ingested, and transformed fabric unfolding persistently into the present and never disappearing.“Monumental Ether. Bodies.” (Stills)
