Artists

Olaf Holzapfel, Michael Sailstorfer

Press release

Livie Gallery is proud to announce a duo show of Olaf Holzapfel and Michael Sailstofer, opening for the Zurich Art Weekend 2025. Both artists live and work in Berlin and have been in continuous exchange about their decades long artistic practices, but have until now never shown their work together. A permanent curiosity to examine cultural, social and physical phenomena is the underlying motivation for both. This similar point of departure results in very different artistic pursuits, while Sailstorfer‘s work often involve mechanical and chemical processes, Holzapfel remains tied to natural materials and crafts such as woodworking. Finally both create works that ask similar questions of tradition, temporality and perceived gains and losses.

The exhibition is part of Zurich Art Weekend.
