until 20.12. | #4846ARTatBerlin | Galerie Nordenhake shows from Saturday, 8. November 2025 (Opening: 07.11.) the solo exhibition “Träskalle” by the artist Mattias Selldén and the group show “Mark Makers” with Ana Cláudia Almeida, ektor garcia and Thea Ekström.
Galerie Nordenhake presents two exhibitions that explore materiality and artistic process from distinct perspectives.
In his solo exhibition “Träskalle,” Mattias Selldén creates objects that blur the boundaries between sculpture and functional design. The artist himself describes his works as “dysfunctional furniture that could easily be mistaken for sculpture.” This playful ambiguity opens a space where the ordinary transforms into the poetic. Meticulously crafted yet conceptually free, Selldén’s pieces invite viewers to reconsider the relationship between function and form.

Running parallel, the group exhibition “Mark Makers” brings together works by Ana Cláudia Almeida, ektor garcia, and Thea Ekström, each engaging with different approaches to material and mark-making.
Almeida’s layered compositions of paint, fabric, and imagery evoke memory and ritual. Garcia’s sculptural forms merge textile craft with queer-feminist and artisanal traditions. Ekström’s expressive drawings and symbolic gestures connect inner experience with mythological resonance.
