Ich bin noch beim Aufräumen und Abbauen und Erholen, aber ihr habt die Möglichkeit, das Portfolio mit allen Arbeiten der Ausstellung anzuschauen und natürlich gerne auch zu erwerben. Hier findet ihr es >

Viel Spaß!

I’m still tidying up, taking everything down and recovering, but you can view the portfolio featuring all the works from the exhibition – and, of course, you’re welcome to buy them too. You can find it here >

Photos of the opening and the exhibition are available here.

Enjoy!

Trecker Hat!

After last year's "I am all out of Love Songs" T-shirts, there's exclusive Landpartie merch again in 2026: a trucker (Trecker!) cap with an embroidered drawing of my little grey Ferguson tractor. They turned out really well and are super comfortable — ever since these arrived, I've been wearing one for work and leisure (even though I don't actually have either right now 🤪). Limited quantity, available in the online shop and of course at the Landpartie itself. You can also pre-order from me by email and just pick it up at the exhibition.

What is there to say? I got this drawing of my tractor stitched onto an awesome black Trucker Hat, Top Quality, details below. Very comfortable, been wearing it for work and play it since I first held it in my hands.

Limited edition on the occasion of the Landpartie 2026 (July 4–19).

Landpartie Update: We got Country!

The Landpartie 2026 is getting more colorful and more exciting by the day – and now we've got a band for the opening day on Saturday, July 11th! And what could be more fitting than real country music – from the very land it comes from?

Joe Wunderle from Nashville will be performing with his band in the Danzdeel of the "Kneipe", surrounded by the art of Stefanie Rausch, Lolita Pelegrime, Mario Kleinschmidt, Peter Birk, Rasmus Rinhack and myself.

I'll leave the description to the professionals – here in the words of Oliver Kanehl, who puts on wonderful indie country shows with his label YEEHAW:

"What does America sound like? With Joe Wunderle, it sounds wild, raw and dangerous, eerie and distant. Wunderle's archaic folk songs and raw cowboy ballads conjure images from a long-forgotten era. Across six albums, the American singer-songwriter has shown how much you can move people with just a few musical ingredients. Wunderle draws seemingly effortlessly from the rich legacy left behind by song-poets like Townes Van Zandt and Blaze Foley. Dry country folk that makes you thirsty and touches the soul."

Art in Hotel Suites, Part 2: Alex Diamond X Belsers Hotel X Geberit

Yeah, so it took me quite a bit longer than I anticipated, but both these works are massive and detailed and heavy and, well, just a lot - but now the second work for the second suite at the Belsers Hotel in Nürtingen in collaboration with Geberit is ready. I am more than happy how both these woodcuts turned out and how well they harmonize with each other. I know, they will be in seperate rooms which will be further defined by their individual outcome, but I bellieve that both these suites should have the same feeling to them.

More about this beautiful project will follow, the Hotel is still being build, but yeah, I am really curious and excited to see it all come together, and I will share with you the progress here.

Stay tuned. Subscribe to the newsletter. And mail or message me when you have questions.

I hope I find a date when I can invite you to a drink in my Hamburg studio soon to show you these works personally, before they get shipped to Belsers Hotel.

Right now I am in the countryside developing my approach to a totally new series of very different woodcuts for my upcoming solo exhibition at Feinkunst Krüger later this year (November!!).

Again, if you want to stay in touch and get personal updates without an algorithm - my Newsletter is the way to go. 😊

Details and WIP

The heliumTALK Podcast is back.

Boah, das hat aber gedauert. heliumTALK, das Kunstgespräch zwischen Vater und Sohn, zwischen Künstler und Galerist, war im Superwinterschlaf. Ende 2022 sprachen wir das letzte mal gemeinsam in diesem Format. 2023 sprach Melvin das letzte Mal mit seiner Künstlerin Susannah Martin für heliumTALK. Eigentlich war alles schon in Kisten verpackt, das Equipment verscherbelt, die Klappen zu. Aber ... wir haben es nicht ausgehalten. Es gibt so viel zu erzählen. Aus der Kunst und über die Kunst. Und ja, ihr habt uns ja auch sehr vermisst. Deshalb haben wir uns zwei mal kräftig geschüttelt, die Sessel zusammengerückt, und wieder losgelegt.

Überall, wo es Podcasts gibt, und natürlich auf dieser website und bei heliumtalk.com!

Viel Spaß

Melvin und Jörg

PS: This first episode is in german, but there will be english content again along the way!

Art in Hotel Suites: Alex Diamond X Belsers Hotel X Geberit

I’ve been a bit off the radar lately, as I’m once again working on two fairly large woodcut pieces. Each of them will measure 100 × 140 cm – yes, that’s quite big for a woodcut, and the panels I’m building for them are correspondingly heavy 😊.

Both works will soon be hanging in Belsers Hotel in Nürtingen, overlooking the Neckar, in two suites that I currently have the pleasure of realizing together with Geberit. In this first piece, I’m dealing with one of my favorite subjects – the stormy sea. Inspired by my large storm works of recent years, I’m currently carving the waves … lots of lines, lots of time, lots of love, as always.

Updated Sculptures Portfolio

I have updated the Portfolio of available Sculptures (The VANDALS) here in this website. You can check it out here:

I have made references to the size by posting myself next to them so you can figure out how tall / small they are. If you want to meet The Vandals in person, there are currently two exhibitions featuring them, both, incidentally, in the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Straße in Hamburg (100 m apart in two different galleries):

Still regaining consciousness after that intense last week, but here is my work for KAISER’S DELIGHT, the group Melvin put together at MEGA Contemporary for the last show in 2025 - an homage to the artists he’s been showing at the space in Kaiser-Wilhelm-Str. 87 in Hamburg.

The show is open every Saturday from 2 – 6 pm and by appointment. You can get in touch with me here or via the MEGA Contemporary website. We hope that we can get Melvin out of the hospital very soon, but until he can walk again, me and his friends will open the doors for you.

The other the pieces I am showing are the VANDALS #05 and #07 - my wooden sculptures, crated with the chainsaw, grinding machine, spirit stain, blood, sweat and tears.
