until 25.01. | #4908ARTatBerlin | Galerie oqbo shows from Friday, 9 January 2026 the group exhibition “GRANULAR” with works by Achim Kobe, Maike Schröder, Anna Schuster, Renate Wolff and Julia Ziegler.
The group exhibition “GRANULAR” brings together artistic positions that examine spatial perception, movement and the tension between continuity and fragmentation. Departing from the idea of a granular space-time, the exhibition considers perception and orientation not as continuous flows, but as sequences of discrete steps. This theoretical notion is translated into visual, material and spatial configurations.
Achim Kobe presents paper works from 2018 based on linear abstract structures. Within a self-imposed system, serial deviations emerge that make the relationship between order and disturbance visible. Using resin-bound pigments on handmade paper, Kobe creates transparent layers of colour, built either wet-on-wet or in carefully structured strata. The works aim at formal complexity while maintaining a reduced haptic presence.
Maike Schröder, Night Lines, 2024, transparenter Fotoabzug über Licht/Holografiecollage, 180 × 120 cm.
Maike Schröder’s work “Night Lines” extends painting beyond the canvas into space. Light, shadow, reflection and photographic elements enter into dialogue, expanding the image into the architectural environment. Her practice addresses space not only as a physical condition but also as a political and spiritual field of experience.
Anna Schuster, Mulden, 2022, gefärbte Leinwand, Holzgerüst, Maße variabel.
Anna Schuster’s installations are rooted in landscape, movement and perception. In “Mulden”, she translates topographical depressions—whether natural or man-made—into abstract sculptural arrangements. Dyed canvas, wooden frameworks and spatial constellations form experimental setups that remain deliberately provisional, exploring the transformation of landscape experience into abstract spatial forms.
Renate Wolff, Rahmenbedingungen #18, 2023, Silber auf Papier, 59,4 × 84,1 cm.
Renate Wolff’s series “Rahmenbedingungen” investigates the tension between openness and limitation, visibility and invisibility. Fragmentary dot formations generate rhythms of movement that activate the pictorial space. Silver and gold surfaces suggest an immaterial, mental realm, while the frame functions not merely as a boundary but as an active formative element.
Julia Ziegler, Treppe b, 2026, Wandarbeit, Papiere und Tape, ca. 200 × 120 cm.
Julia Ziegler creates temporary wall-based works that merge architectural elements from specific sites into new spatial situations. Overlapping structures, shifting perspectives and material contrasts produce images oscillating between construction and illusion. Her works conceive space as a stage where perception, embodied knowledge and imagination converge.
Opening: Friday, 9 January 2026, 7:00–9:00 p.m.
Exhibition dates: Friday, 9 January – Sunday, 25 January 2026
