We’re pleased to announce that Daniel Moldoveanu is a recipient of this year’s Krull Stiftung grant, along with Hanna Stiegeler and Niclas Riepshoff.

Conceived as a framework for time rather than output, the grant supports artists in developing new work and extending their practice beyond immediate constraints.

Pepo Salazar Lacruz

"Point Relais is a reconfiguration operation in which the artist, Pepo Salazar Lacruz, develops a series of sculptural exercises of unresolved and fragmentary forms. From the fragment, a play of insinuations takes effect, inviting the public/reader/viewer to reconstruct the totality of the object. In Point Relais, the fragment acts as a vector that materially inscribes a historical structure through apparently neutral gestures.
The wrappers insist on an interface logic: packaging precedes the object (and exceeds its use). Reduction reaches its most literal degree in the compositions of chip bag corners, where the instructions “open here” or “easy-to-open” persist. These formulas design our gesture and regulate our actions, demand an already learned choreography; a series of repeated movements that naturalise certain postures. Relations are bounded, akin to the mechanisms of abstraction of capital — capable of converting networks of social relations into autonomous signs such as money or brands. Yet in the repetition and decontextualisation operated by the artist, that regulatory function is suspended.
The traffic signs remain, but they no longer return instructions. Even so, they do not stop proposing a rhythm. They theatricalise their presence now that they have ceased to be reflective. They have stopped offering a clear solution and from this negative position, they operate. In doing so, they disengage from universal standardisation. The rhythm is marked by a course of variations and repetitions. Salazar Lacruz articulates this through his creative process; when he approaches comfort and glimpses a recognisable code, he changes the pattern. This erratic trajectory could be told through a road trip — at dusk, the car headlights present the traffic signs to you in the most scenic way. They maintain a tempo, that of appearance, but now they answer nothing." (excerpt from the exhibition text)

Camilia Filipov
"La nașterea norilor"
Feb 28-April 25, 2026

Echoing the plein air sensibility of the Impressionists, yet moving beyond observation toward co-creation, Camilia Filipov constructs a practice in which nature’s contribution equals that of the artist. What unfolds in this exhibition is not landscape as spectacle, but landscape as process – an ongoing becoming that happens, as she discovered in her mountain studio, right before our eyes.
