The JUNGE KUNST AUS NORDEUROPA exhibition series provides a platform for up-and-coming artists. Every year, the best graduates of the Caspar David Friedrich Institute at the University of Greifswald (INSOMNALE Prize) and the Faculty of Design at Wismar University of Applied Sciences present their work at the Neues Kunsthaus Ahrenshoop and receive a one-month scholarship at the Künstlerhaus Lukas. The exhibition is complemented by another position from the Baltic Sea network. In this year's edition, it is the Fyns Grafiske Værksted in Odense/Denmark.
Ceramics by Lasse Johannes Köhler (Wismar), printmaking by Benjamin Sasserson (Odense/Denmark) and film/video by Lena Friemel (Greifswald).
Lasse Johannes Köhler (*1998, Schwerin) lives in Wismar and is studying Material Culture at the Wismar University of Applied Sciences. He previously completed a diploma in product design there. His artistic practice focuses on experimental ceramics and glazes that both attract and irritate. In 2022, he founded the artist collective Inserat_8000 and participated in several art fairs and exhibitions, including KunstMitte Magdeburg (2023) and Künstlermesse Dresden (2024). Inspired by philosophy and music, he explores the boundaries between art and material research.
Benjamin Sasserson (*2000, Skørping, Denmark) lives in Odense and studies at the Funen Art Academy. Originally rooted in painting, he has specialized in printmaking. His work has been shown in several solo and group exhibitions, including He Never Said a Mumbling Word (2023, FAA Project Room) and Vessels (2024, Cabin Gallery). His drawings and prints move between darkness and luminosity, creating dense, atmospheric visual worlds that oscillate between reality and dream.
Lena Friemel (*2000, Berlin) is an artist and designer with a Master's degree in Fine Arts from the University of Greifswald. She was awarded the Insomnale Art Prize 2024 and has been nominated for the Rostock Art Prize. Her video works Fragments (2024) and Occhiolism (2022) deal with memory and identity. Through 3D animations and the use of a digital avatar, she creates poetic and at the same time deeply moving visual worlds.
The exhibition JUNGE KUNST AUS NORDEUROPA is a cooperation with the Caspar David Friedrich Institute at the University of Greifswald, the Faculty of Design at Wismar University of Applied Sciences, Fyns Grafiske Værksted in Odense/Denmark, the Baltic Sea newspaper and the Kunstverein zu Rostock.
