We first encountered Laura Hinrichsmeyer’s writing at Schleuse in 2021 and again through her reading of Werk-Angaben for dis/claim magazine at Laurenz in 2023. Her work aligns with our interest in questioning conventions, and we are more than happy that Werk-Angaben has become the first book we are publishing: a freshly edited and designed artist’s book of 74 genre-bending poems, screen-printed in an edition of 50 copies.
Laura Hinrichsmeyer is an artist born in Germany. Currently she is living in Vienna. She studied Stage Design, Creative Writing and Fine Arts in Düsseldorf, Berlin and Vienna. Since 2024 she has been teaching at the University of Arts in Linz.

Hear DINGE See SACHEN Say ZEUG is the exhibition poster for the eponymous exhibition by Viennese artist Christian Egger at 20 20. The title is a combination of “Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing” (1982), the debut album by the English hardcore band Discharge, and the song “Dinge Sachen Zeug” (2016) by the German band Hammerhead. The poster, announcing the exhibition, is mounted in a wall brochure holder in the exhibition space and integrated into the display as an artwork.
An interview with Christian about the exhibition is available here.
Christian Egger lives in Vienna as a visual artist, musician, and freelance author. He is co-editor of the artist fanzine www.ztscrpt.net. Solo presentations of his works were most recently shown in Vienna at 20 20 and Charim Schleifmühlgasse, as well as at The Horse (Dublin) and at Kunstraum Schwaz. In addition to numerous exhibition publications, his texts are regularly published in international art magazines such as ArtReview, Texte zur Kunst, SPIKE, Springerin, Camera Austria, and many others. His book Shows, Signals, Unvernehmen brings together texts from 2005 to 2020 and was published by Floating Opera Press (Berlin).

The screen print Marcia is based on Katharina Schilling’s painting of the same name (oil on wood, 35 × 14.7 cm). The painting abstracts an illustration from a 15th-century manuscript of Giovanni Boccaccio's De Mulieribus Claris (On Famous Women), depicting an ancient Roman artist named Marcia. The illustration, created around 1404, shows Marcia at an easel with a mirror reflecting her face, creating a “triple portrait.” It is the first known depiction of an artist, male or female, painting themselves. Katharina Schilling’s composition declares a fragment of this scene, the pixel-like geometric pattern of the floor, to be the motif of the image.
Katharina Schilling is a visual artist who works primarily in the medium of painting. She studied painting at the Academy of Visual Arts Leipzig and at Camberwell College of Arts London. Recent solo and group exhibitions include: GROTTO in Berlin, Slip House in NYC, Loggia in Vienna, Kunstverein Leipzig, House of Spouse in Vienna, The Tail in Brussels, Stadium in Berlin, Kunsthalle Bremen and the Museum der bildenden Künste Leipzig, among others. Her work has been awarded the Max Ernst Prize and the Marion Ermer Prize. In 2017 she was part of the ISCP International Studio & Curatorial Program in New York. Since 2022 she teaches painting at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna (class Henning Bohl). She lives in Vienna.
