SLALOM
2025
"Slalom" presents Katharina Trudzinski's cross-genre works in dialogue with the historical position of Paul Reichle (1900–1981)at the `Städtische Galerie Bietigheim-Bissingen’.Reichle’s chalk drawings, oil, and acrylic paintings are nourished by his time at the Bauhaus in Weimar.
Trudzinski’s drawings, reliefs, and spatial installations also employ an abstract—partly geometric, partly amorphous—formal language. In her watercolors and drawings, these forms are playfully interwoven with checkered and striped patterns. Going beyond the flat picture surface, the artist arranges painted wooden forms in bright colors to create multi-layered reliefs.
Her sculptures even take over the museum space: large, flat, colored elements cling to window recesses, lean against corners, or surround pillars. Her playful and humorous interventions in public spaces, which add poetry to everyday urban life and are captured in photographs, also relate to their specific locations.
Lightning Bolts –
Different Stories Same Mistakes
2025Group Show with: Dominik Bucher, Alexander Klenz, Lisa Kränzler, Anja Langer, Lea Asja Pagenkemper, Lawrence Power
Lightning bolts are sudden, powerful electrical discharges - unpredictable and fleeting, yet capable of revealing new directions in an instant. This exhibition takes up these characteristics as a conceptual basis and emphasises spontaneity, immediacy and process-oriented artistic practice.
TOGETHER ON SUNDAY
a studio presentation with Rachel de Joode, 2023
This studio presentation explored how the imaginations of artworks could reshape our understanding of contextual questions. Both our practices are significantly influenced by digital elements and draw from the history of painting and sculpture as an ongoing, evolving discourse.

A LYING SUN ( part 1)
Duoshow with Anna Mirkinat Galerie im Turm, 2023
In their collaborative work, Anna Mirkin and Katharina Trudzinski interweave the immediate surroundings of the two exhibition sites of A Lying Sun: Tel Aviv, Jaffa and Berlin, Friedrichshain. Playfully, the artists let the cityscapes flow into each other, break them up and expand them through their sparkling glitches. In doing so, they explore the possibilities of digital, three-dimensional space, especially with regard to the individual design and appropriation of public space and urban architecture.
Space-Basement Duality Show
with Holger Pohl
The installation Space-Basement Duality Show presents Out of the Blue sculptural works by Katharina Trudzinski and Earth View paintings from the Clouds over Cairo series by Holger Pohl in a Berlin basement.
The works of Holger Pohl and Katharina Trudzinski interact playfully within the architectural space oddity of a basement. The venue offers a naturally contradictory setting for both artistic approaches. As much as the narrow basement plays counterpoint to Katharina’s light interstellar sculptural interventions, it also provides a scintillating contrast to Holger’s installation of large scale paintings looking down on the Earth.
