Dreams and nightmares

The Herbert-Gerisch-Foundation dedicated this comprehensive solo show entitled “Träume und Albträume” to the Berlin based painter, sculptor, draughtsman and printer Piotr Nathan. He expanded this invitation to several female artists and collaborators who have influenced his own oeuvre over the years and asked Nan Goldin, Christine Fenzl, Susanne A. Homann, Roni Horn, Siobhan Lidell and Nina Venus to contribute pieces engaging directly with some of his own works. Nathan, in turn reacted creatively, responding in his works, entering an artistic dialogue and creative conversation. This process of artistic communication was the conceptual center of this exhibition.
