Philip Grözinger – Manntje, Manntje, Timpe Te

For Gallery Weekend Berlin 2026, 68projects by KORNFELD is pleased to present the new solo exhibition, "Manntje, Manntje, Timpe Te" by artist Philip Grözinger. The opening will take place on Saturday, April 26, 2026. The artist will be present. The title, taken from the Grimm’s fairy tale "The Fisherman and His Wife," acts as an incantation for an exhibition that explores the fine line between desire and delusion. Philip Grözinger transforms the gallery into an immersive, all-encompassing installation, adding a crucial dimension to his paintings. Carefully placed sculptural elements, including small bronzes, ceramics, flowers, and everyday objects like microwaves and radios, emerge from the canvas, allowing visitors to physically experience the artist's visual worlds. In this three-dimensional setting, Grözinger leads visitors into a world of precarious balancing acts. His figures, often poised on a tightrope, become emblems of a society that, driven by consumerism and constant self representation, is in danger of losing its balance. The act of fishing for the "big catch" that promises to fulfill all dreams becomes a metaphor for a dangerous game.
