ULLA DIEDRICHSEN & BENJAMIN LANGNER
Opening: Friday 8 May 2026 at 7 p.m.
Special guests: Benjamin Binder and the Snails
This spring, the birds are returning not only to our city, but also to our gallery.
Benjamin Langner and Ulla Diedrichsen, both of whom have devoted many years to the depiction of animals, especially the colorful world of birds, present a selection of magnificent, archaic looking creatures. Their ancestry according to modern biological taxonomy, birds are a subgroup of theropod dinosaurs, is strikingly illustrated in the works on view.
Flamingos engaged in courtship, parrots, and peacocks populate the walls, each attempting to outshine the others in their dazzling display of color.
Large-scale, expressive paintings by Benjamin Langner are shown alongside wax crayon drawings by Ulla Diedrichsen, whose expressive power is in no way inferior to the paintings.
The exhibition is complemented by a small installation by Benjamin Binder.
Ulla Dietrichsen
Born in 1947 in Hamburg, lives and works in Hamburg.
Since 1993, Ulla Dietrichsen has attended the Schlumper studio in her free time. From 1998 to 2020, she was a permanent member of the Schlumper studio community.
Dietrichsen primarily works with wax crayon; her drawings are bold and colorful. Frequent subjects of her work are animals and the people in her surroundings, whom she particularly enjoys portraying.
Benjamin Langner
Born in 1982 in Hamburg, lives and works in Hamburg.
Since 2005, Benjamin Langner has been a member of the Schlumper studio community in Hamburg.
In his early years at the studio, Langner mainly focused on drawing, combining his own figurative inventions with areas of color in sometimes highly detailed works. In recent years, he has increasingly engaged with painting. Notable among these are his large-scale depictions of animals, which he reduces to the essentials and executes with spontaneity on paper.
Benjamin Binder
Born in 1989 in Brașov, Romania, lives and works in Hamburg.
Even during his school years, Benjamin Binder completed an internship at the Schlumper studio in Hamburg. Since 2008, he has been a permanent member of the studio community and works there daily.
In recent years, the theme of “snails as companions” has taken on an increasingly central role in Binder’s work. The mostly crocheted snails are brought to life by him. With the help of motors or small loudspeakers, they become living beings that accompany him through his everyday life.

Opening: Friday 13 February 2026 at 7 p.m.
As is well known, human beings do not live by bread alone.
Food for the soul and nourishment for the mind are just as important.
Exploring the human relationship with food and nutrition has a long tradition in art.
The motif of eating and drinking is timeless, universal, and rich in symbolic meaning.
Once again, the Schlumper and their guests have taken on a theme that is both exciting and multi-layered, and for the current exhibition they have put together an artfully culinary menu.
On offer are unique specialties and rare delicacies. From tried-and-true home cooking to small treats and sophisticated new creations, there is something to suit every taste. Lovers of haute cuisine will be just as satisfied as fans of fast-food culture.
Some works need to be chewed over carefully. Others whet the appetite. Many promise moments of special delight.
By turns poetic, critical, and entertaining, the exhibition offers a deep look into the artists’ pots and pans.
What is brought to the table bears witness to creative pleasure and a certain joy in opulence and luxury. Carefree enjoyment is possible and encouraged. At the same time, an ironical take on decadence is also served: lavishly garnished, well-seasoned, and perfectly balanced.
These artistic “recipes” aren’t for the kitchen, but for the mind. You can chew over a tricky idea, crack a hard nut, or just pick up a bite-sized treat of inspiration to go.
In any case, everyone can feast their eyes to their heart’s content at the exhibition.
Participating in the exhibition are:
Mila von Bodelschwingh, Stefanie Bubert, David Fletcher, Michael Gerdsmann, Jessica Halm, Miriam Hosner, Bernhard Krebs, Tongtad Mahasuwan, Silke Marohn, Rabka Mehr, Horst Wäßle, u.a.
Opening hours:
Wed. – Fri. 4 – 7 p.m.
Sat. 11 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Sun. 2 – 5 p.m.
The gallery will be closed on Good Friday and Easter Sunday.
