Berlin’s rk-Galerie für zeitgenössische Kunst will host a presentation of artist Clausnitzer’s recent catalog, “My Sweet Demon,” on Wednesday, March 4, 2026, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. The event will feature insights from Clausnitzer and Ludwig Seyfarth, the catalog’s editor, an art historian and curator at the KAI 10 I Arthena Foundation in Düsseldorf.
The catalog, published by Kerber Verlag, showcases 66 images of Clausnitzer’s oil paintings, many of which are large-scale and offers a comprehensive overview of her work. It presents key cycles exploring the fragmentation and overlaying of identities, with figures interacting across timelines and genres. The book includes works from the cycles “Demon’s Dream,” “Splatter,” “Animaux,” “Komplott der Musen,” and “Am Styx,” incorporating motifs from art and film history, as well as contemporary media imagery.
During the presentation, Clausnitzer and Seyfarth will discuss the creation process and thematic focus of the catalog. Following the discussion, the gallery will present the short video of Clausnitzer’s performance, “Inner Demon,” featuring music by Carol O’Hair and film editing by M. Leo Hopf.
The catalog contains 136 pages with 80 color illustrations and texts in both German and English. It also includes an in-depth interview with Clausnitzer by Beate Köhne and a text by Ludwig Seyfarth that contextualizes her work within art history.
The presentation of “My Sweet Demon” coincides with the ongoing exhibitions of artists Johanna Keimeyer and Paula Riquelme at the rk-Galerie, which will remain on display until April 7, 2026. Johanna Keimeyer will expand her exhibition into the first room of the gallery starting Friday, March 6, 2026, during regular opening hours.
Clausnitzer’s work, encompassing paintings, drawings, objects, and performances, has been developing within the “Happy Demon” series for several years. The gallery is located at Möllendorffstr. 6, 10367 Berlin, and is accessible by U-Bahn and S-Bahn. Admission to the catalog presentation is free.
