On the occasion of the Gallery Weekend Berlin, Delmes & Zander presents works by Cologne-born artists Horst Ademeit (1937-2010). Discovered by the gallery in 2008, Ademeit obsessively devoted close to 40 years of his life to collecting information – through photography and meticulous note-keeping – that would establish the existence of what he called “cold rays,” unseen forces that he believed severely impaired and impacted upon his life and surroundings. Developing a complex, at times quasi-scientific system of reference with precise facts and dates he recorded, Ademeit's photographic documentation portrays the threats and mysteries of everyday life. Trapped in a Kafkaesque world, Ademeit created structures of order for himself in an attempt to make sense of an otherwise all-consuming presentiment.

Horst Ademeit's works have been shown solo at White Columns (New York, 2010)
and the Hamburger Bahnhof (Berlin, 2011), as well as in a group at the Biennale Sao Paulo (2012), David Zwirner (System and Vision, New York, 2015) and at the Serralves Foundation (Under the Clouds, curated by João Ribas, Porto, 2015).
Delmes & Zander administrate the Ademeit estate since 2010.

Courtesy Delmes & Zander, Berlin + Cologne.


"Delmes & Zander: After presenting the exhibition ONE/other Self Portraits at the Independent New York in March 2016, Delmes & Zander gives continuity to this project with OTHER/one Portraits, now at Independent Brussels. Departing from the curious photographs on an unknown artist, titled Obsession (circa 1870), this show delves into the obsessive relationship between the gaze of the artist and his subject."

Independent Brüssel


Delmes & Zander at the Independent Brussels

Opening: April 20, 2016 
12 to 6 pm (VIP preview), 6 to 8 pm (public opening)


OTHER / one - Portraits

featuring works by
Morton Bartlett, Margarethe Held, Paul Humphrey, Margret, Obsession (anonymous), Miroslav Tichy, Type 42 (anonymous), Eugene von Bruenchenhein


Obsession (anonymous), untitled, 1870s, photo collage, historical albumin
and salt paper prints, partially hand-coloured, approx. 29 x 24 cm




Delmes & Zander attends the very first edition of the Independent Brussels with OTHER/ one – Portraits. This is the second part of an exhibition series inaugurated with ONE/ other – Self Portraits at the Independent New York in March 2016.
OTHER/ one – Portraits is the result of an unusual relationship between subject and object. The gaze of “one” upon the “other” is obsessive, the work repetitive in its nature and formally of serial character. It has the coherence of an ongoing project perpetuated by devouring compulsiveness: each one of the artists dedicates their oeuvre purely to one subject only. The subject is at the mercy of the artist in the same way as the artist is at the mercy of his uncontrollable obsession.
Being subject to the author's yearnings, the gaze manifests itself in a number of ways. And whether fuelled by sexual desire, the urgency to control the other or to gain power over its counterpart, the work is always an end in itself: an imperative endeavour to shape the other so that he or she can fit into the world the author has constructed in his fantasy.
Paul Humphrey repeatedly shuts his subjects' eyes in the act of drawing, making his Sleeping Beauties docile, powerless; Morton Bartlett shapes his dolls with his own hands, small in size and with childlike obedience; In the photo collages of Obsession, an unknown author turns women into subservient victims, ready to burn at the stake with no defence.
The portraits of Margret, taken in the impenetrable cumplicity of a love affair, transform her into an idealized creation of her lover and employer Günter K.. Similarly, Eugene von Bruenchenhein turns his wife Marie from exotic princess to tinseltown temptress in the intimacy of their hermetical domesticity.
In its painstaking rigour, the work sometimes acquires an archival character. This is not only the case with Miroslav Tichy, who aimed at photographing one hundred women a day, but also with the encyclopaedic body of anonymous work Type 42 or even in Margarethe Held's lifework The Uncontrollable Universe (Unkontrollierbares Universum): an attempt to pin down the chaos unleashed by inner visions in a publication which brings together pictures bestowed upon her from the beyond.
Although there are no self-portraits shown in OTHER/ one, the works say everything about their authors - they unabashedly mirror the artist. His work provides him with
the persona he has aspired to. In the end, ONE and OTHER are thus both forms of self-portrayal.

The exhibitions will be accompanied by a small booklet.

Artnet News chooses our collaboration Booth to be the best of 2016




Hili Perlson from Artnet chooses our collaboration with Galerie Guido W. Baudach to be #1 booth.

"1. Galerie Guido W. Baudach and Delmes & Zander gallery: Collaboration booth showing Thomas Zipp and Adelhyd van Bender
The fair's third level offers contemporary art galleries the opportunity to stage collaborative exhibitions, and pairing these two artists was a triumphant curatorial feat. Titled "Sacred Atomic Systems & Advances in Psychophysics," the presentation brings together artist Thomas Zipp, whose work stem from investigations of consciousness, brain activity, and mental illness (some viewers may recall his haunting presentation at the Palazzo Rossini for the 2013 Venice Biennale) and the obsessively prolific Adelhyd van Bender, a recluse who died of a cancerous tumour in 2014, which he considered to be the physical evidence of his feminine side (his solo show was one of the highlights of last year's Berlin Gallery Weekend). Adelhyd developed a cryptic system of signs which filled the pages upon pages of correspondence he had kept with different government bodies. Both artists take a systematic approach to their questioning of the place of the individual, mining larger existential questions through applied or thought-up scientific methods. Although van Bender is increasingly being shown in contexts other than that of "outsider art," his works are still very reasonably priced, starting at €800, while Zipp's works at the booth start at 10 times that."

A group show by 68projects and Thole Rotermund Kunsthandel
Everyone is currently talking about the quiet medium paper. The group exhibition Papier! explores everything paper can do. Works from old and modern Masters enter into a dialogue with contemporary positions. The main focus of the exhibition are topics closely associated with the genre of drawing and the medium paper, such as the line, the stroke, portraiture, architecture, landscape/s as well as story tales."

Point of departure for the collaborative project between Delmes & Zander and Galerie Guido W. Baudach are two publications central to the oeuvre of both artists featured: Advances in Psychophysics by H.G. Geissler and Yu. M. Zabrodin (1976) has been pivotal in Thomas Zipp's long-term investigations into the scientific fields of perception, mathematics and the subconscious. Mankind's Search for God (1990) by the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society is an elemental piece of writing at the core of Adelhyd van Bender's work, triggering and legitimizing his lifetime endeavour of breaking down the world into mathematical formulae.

Despite the two distinct formal approaches in the bodies of work or even the differences in biography, the exhibition Sacred Atomic Systems & Advances in Psychophysics underscores the unexpected proximity between Zipp and Bender and accentuates the lingering presentiment that both artists are somehow united in the same imperative mission on the crossroads between science, religion and philosophy. A similarly systematic approach in the treatment of knowledge, the belief in the methodology of science and the association between the spiritual and the mechanical lend the project both a clinical and slightly uncanny note, as if the attempt of translating the phenomena of everyday life into a logical and cohesive scientific superstructure has gone somewhat ad absurdum.

In a unique collaboration with the artists David Ostrowski and Michail Pirgelis, Delmes & Zander will host SHE MIGHT BE on occasion of this year's edition of the Art Cologne. Eighteen artist, handpicked by the curator duo and assembled in the intimacy of a cabinet-like architecture will, each in their own way, pay homage to “her”. “She” is found lingering in each of the works presented. Along with Delmes & Zander's household names such as Miroslav Tichy, Margret or Type 42, SHE MIGHT BE will feature positions shown at the gallery for the very first time such as Meuser, Jiri Georg Dokoupil, Andreas Schulze or Harmony Korine. Common to all works, irrespective of their age, provenance or genre is the scent they emanate: as if the ensemle of works on display were a conglomeration of scent samples of a similar kind.
