MOVING BOXES / Invitation to Our Events

LENNY WESTEND / HOCHHAUZ

LENNY WESTEND presents HOCHHAUZ, an exhibition featuring video projections of urban monuments of our time.

Somewhere between brutalism and concrete romanticism, the processed archival footage creates a timeless tribute to high-rise buildings, prefab housing, and urban living spaces.

DANIEL VON HOESSLE contributes to HOCHHAUZ with an analog photo series from the Wiesbaden prefab housing area Schelmengraben.

Prefabricated Buildings and Architectural Heritage in East and West

A lecture and discussion evening featuring MARTIN MALESCHKA and LENNY WESTEND.

MARTIN MALESCHKA was born on May Day 1982 in Eisenhüttenstadt. Growing up in the 1980s in the first socialist city on German soil, he was influenced equally by buildings of national architectural traditions from the early 1950s and large-panel housing developments from the late GDR era on the city outskirts. For more than two decades, he has been documenting the architectural heritage of the GDR as a photographer, author, architect, and artist.

LENNY WESTEND is a video artist from Wiesbaden. His current video installation HOCHHAUZ at the Nassauischer Kunstverein primarily showcases views of regional prefab housing estates and their residents.
