Instagram Takeover 2025

#takingoverkunsthallehh

If you've ever wondered how artists prepare for an exhibition, whether artists also work in a home office, what it's actually like in a studio, or which artists serve as inspiration, then click through. Since April 2020, we have been giving artists the floor and let them use our Instagram account for one day. Take a look at new works, directly into the studio or be in the middle of the exhibition setup.

Neal

»Street-Art – it’s not vandalism, it’s urban poetry with a spray can!«, this quote comes from Neal, the Hamburg street artist who - like Banksy - travels the streets unrecognized and often comments humorously on current issues and life in the city with his stencils. His work »Escape« is on display in our exhibition »ILLUSION. Dream – Identity – Reality« and we are delighted that he is taking over our Instagram account!

Tony Matelli

Tony Matelli (*1971) is known for his hyperrealistic sculptures that often explore themes such as decay, impermanence and the human condition. Matelli gained recognition for his ability to create startlingly lifelike representations of ordinary objects and surreal scenarios. His works frequently challenge perceptions and evokes strong emotional responses by juxtaposing the familiar with the unsettling. His sculptures have been exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide. Matelli lives and works in New York City. His work »Weed« is currently on display in our exhibition »ILLUSION. Dream – Identity – Reality«.
