Charline von Heyl and Marie von Heyl

In this new video, Charline von Heyl speaks with her cousin Marie von Heyl — an artist, writer, and philosopher — about her debut exhibition at the gallery.

“If you can reverse-engineer the painter out of the painting, I think that’s actually the failure of the painting. Of course, I acknowledge that this work wouldn’t be what it is had it not been drawn from the incredibly weird and diverse material I’ve been collecting internally — without even realising it.” — Charline von Heyl

Marie von Heyl is a Berlin based artist, writer and philosopher. She completed her studies at KHB Weißensee (Berlin), the Royal Academy (London) and the Technical University Berlin. Marie von Heyl works with and on subject-object relations, the productive inadequacies of language and the creative process as a libidinal practice. Since 2020 she publishes the Podcast Eclectic Engineering with dialogues and monologues on art, philosophy, feminist theory and psychoanalysis. Currently she is enrolled in the PHD programme at UDK Berlin with a dissertation on the Eros of conversations.
