Our Story
LAGE EGAL was founded in 2010 in Berlin as a production and exhibition space. LAGE EGAL still regards itself as an experimental laboratory intent on tampering with the prevalent mechanisms of art presentation, mediation and marketing in a rather playful way. The project space is a non–profit artist–run–space mostly curated by the French conceptual artist Pierre Granoux since 2012; it offers continuously a professional ground for curatorial practice and critical exchange for selected artists and guest curators.
Even though the designation ‘project space’ as such suggests a local constant, the concept of LAGE EGAL (‘location no matter’) is rather unattached to one specific location. LAGE EGAL is not only a play on words (LAGE read reversely is EGAL), it also describes exactly the process of a textual and programmatic dynamism where the location becomes irrelevant.
The emphasis is on curatorial projects that scrutinize and reconsider the stature of exhibitions as such. Furthermore, LAGE EGAL distinguishes itself through its engagement with artists’ books, editions and multiples — and accordingly, with questions concerning the original, copy or reproduction.

Bemerkungen
LAGE EGAL supports the Ukrainian people, the Russian peace protesters, the Ukrainian diaspora in Germany, Europe and internationally. We pay special attention to the struggling workers in the arts and culture sector.
Concretely we have decided in collaboration with artists and friends of the gallery to dedicate a FREE SPACE (a wall visible from outside) at LAGE EGAL open to anyone who wishes to exhibit a work of art in reaction to the current situation, or who wishes to donate a work. In case of donation the money will go directly to an initiative in support of Ukraine
We make the beginning ourselves with a work of Pierre Granoux, other works can be joined immediately. Contact us!

SABRINA BASTEN is a multidisciplinary artist working with the subjects of female empowerment, community-building and memory. Her work tells stories and creates personal contemporary mythology, centring the underrepresented narratives of women and other identities in a male-oriented society. Over the past few years, Basten has developed a typology of a female warrior, an anti-hierarchical sculptural collage. The warrior figures are made up of old vases stacked on top of each other with added ceramic extremities, dressed on their surface with illustrations and words. Working with ready-formed narratives of these objects, Sabrina Basten blends their history with the stories she wants to tell. Armed with personal truth, these statues wear themselves on the outside, possibly still unaware of their hidden inside. When creating the warriors, Basten plays with the dichotomy between their heroic posture, the porcelain’s fragility and their perceived femininity. ‘I want my work to celebrate the strength and resilience of womanhood’.
*IN THE RACK ROOM is the new side project of Pierre Granoux, based in his former artist studio, today his storage room. Each selected artist is invited to work in this rack room and to question "the relationship between where art is made and where art is displayed" (Brian O'Doherty).
The creative act will be documented and displayed as an Instagram takeover.
