On the occasion of his exhibition in Belgium, I visited Helmut Middendorf in his studio in Athens. You can listen to the conversation, recorded for Glean magazine, on Spotify and Apple podcast channels.
That was then. This is now, is the title of the exhibition at Keteleer Gallery, showing different phases of Middendorfs artistic production. In the podcast, we discuss the works that he made in Berlin in the 1980’s, being part of the music scene in Kreuzberg, as well as recent works that he made in his studio in Athens. Does the city influence his work? How did the digital era enter the work of the painter?
The exhibition at Keteleer in Antwerp is on view till 27 april, 2024.
