Nina Bachmann's Solo Show at Galerie Gegen & Lücke Reads Rush Hour as Hunting Language
Nina Bachmann's solo show, Schieben, Drücken, Treiben, is on display at Galerie Gegen & Lücke in Berlin until October 10, 2026, with its opening set for September 10, 2026. Situated at Rosa-Luxemburg-Straße 35, the gallery emphasizes emerging talents in minimalist settings to accentuate Bachmann's creations. The exhibition text, titled Rush Hour and authored by Pola van den Hövel, links the verbs in Bachmann's title to issues of labor, commuting, and economic disparity. Among the highlighted pieces are depictions of a crowd in deep reds, congested vehicles, and a crowded bus, reflecting her unique artistic approach. Born in Munich in 1990, she studied Communication Design and has showcased her work globally. The gallery operates Wednesday through Saturday from 12 to 6 PM. Photography credits go to Jannis Uffrecht.
