Dea Tcholokava spent a six-month Goethe-Institut scholarship at the documenta archive in Kassel in 2025. There she researched traces of Georgian artists in the history of documenta and connected this search with her own observations on migration. The core of the studio exhibition is her 18-minute film essay From Countless Sleepless Nights, a poetic film diary about foreignness, belonging, and identity - interwoven with city walks, archival finds, and unexpected protagonists like the Kassel raccoons. The film is complemented by selected archival materials from the history of documenta, such as those related to Jonas Mekas, Olu Oguibe, Georgij Schengelaia, Pavel Braila, or Hans Haacke, creating a dialogue between personal research and institutional memory. Tcholokava lives in Berlin and Tbilisi, works as a filmmaker and editor, and has been represented internationally at festivals with her documentaries. Her latest short film What Does the Mud Whisper premiered in Krakow in 2025 and has received multiple awards.

From February 28 to April 26, 2026 Phil Hubbe – Please take it a bit more seriously! The Caricatura Gallery will showcase a major solo exhibition of the cartoonist Phil Hubbe from February 28 to April 26, 2026. His cartoons tackle everyday life, politics, and football – pointedly, honestly, and always with humor. The artist Phil Hubbe, born in 1966, has been working as a freelance cartoonist since 1992 and publishes among others in daily newspapers and in kicker. Since his MS diagnosis, he has made disabilities a central theme of his art – with dark humor instead of sentimentality. Disabled Cartoons At the center are Hubbe's “Disabled Cartoons,” including the cult series MS Rainer. The exhibition openly addresses topics that are often taboo and shows how humor can break down barriers and open up new perspectives. It is complemented by pictogram parodies and comments from his online guestbook. Barrier-free presentation For the first time, selected cartoons will be shown as tactile “Touchprints.” In addition, the works are hung lower to make them more accessible for wheelchair users. Visitors can provide feedback on the presentation height.

From March 27 to May 29, 2026 The traveling exhibition at the Kassel Town Hall shows the history of right-wing violence in Hesse. The exhibition runs until May 29, 2026, on the 2nd floor, free admission. Using 24 roll-ups with photographs and research from Right-Wing Terror in Hesse, cases such as the murder of Halit Yozgat, the attack in Hanau, and the murder of Walter Lübcke are presented. Many victims are still barely acknowledged in public consciousness today. The exhibition aims to remember, inform, and motivate democratic engagement. It is aimed at the public, schools, and initiatives. The organizer is the DGB Education Work in Hesse, funded by the State Center for Political Education.

From April 11 to June 7, 2026 The exhibition features 30 large-scale oil paintings by Tanja Nis-Hansen, which together form the acronym GRWM. The artist combines painting, text, and performance to explore physical and mental states surrounding vulnerability and mortality. Language becomes an ornament, everyday statements acquire new meaning. Additionally, screen-printed T-shirts will be sold, referencing the precarious working conditions in the art industry. Nis-Hansen operates in the expanded field of painting and is exhibited and awarded internationally.

With the exhibition "Wild at Heart", Gustav Sonntag presents evocative, large-scale paintings that unfold over three floors, taking the audience on an intense journey through urban living environments. His works tell stories of passion, obsession, hope, addiction, and failure – raw, immediate, and full of emotional tension. In cinematically composed image sequences, Sonntag condenses scenes of urban everyday life into multifaceted narratives, where different perspectives become visible simultaneously. His protagonists navigate between ecstasy and disappointment, between unbridled zest for life and resignation. In doing so, the artist deliberately leaves the interpretation to the viewers. The exhibition develops spatially as well as emotionally: While the richness of detail and painterly virtuosity impress on the ground floor, the atmosphere in the basement condenses into dark, almost dizzying scenes. On the upper floor, the works finally open up to quieter, more contemplative moments, where transcendence and lightness gain space. Gustav Sonntag (*1994, Berlin) lives and works in Leipzig. His works have recently been shown in numerous galleries, art fairs, and institutional exhibitions both domestically and internationally. He was awarded the Eb-Dietzsch Art Prize and nominated for the STRABAG Art Award.

Exhibition EARTH WOOD in the Kubatur at the Kulturbahnhof The Artists' Estates Association Kassel warmly invites you to the opening of the exhibition "EARTH WOOD" on 24.04.2026 at 7 PM in the Kubatur at Kulturbahnhof Kassel. The donation of a collection of 15 paintings by Hildegard Jaekel prompts the association to present these timeless works of art. Two of the oldest artists of the association meet; the curators present Hildegard Jaekel with the earth images from her middle creative period, characterized by formal consistency and subtle color usage; Johannes Schönert shows wooden sculptures that incorporate the space with an extremely reduced artistic language and balanced composition. The exhibition is introduced by Anne-Kathrin Auel. Contact: info@kuenstlernachlaesse-kassel.de www.kuenstlernachlaesse-kassel.de
