For our summer 2022 exhibition, Magnus Peterson Horner was invited to organize a group exhibition. Magnus invited three of his Generation Z friends to show their work. He chose artists born between 1996 and 1998 who he had become friends with during his time in school. Jesus and Magnus studied together in New York City and graduated from The Cooper Union in 2019. Magnus met Albert and Julian while he was studying abroad in Frankfurt, Germany at Städelschule, around 2017. The artists in this exhibition have no overlap in rules, guidelines, or approach to the way they work, but are linked by being of a similar age.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Albert Dietrich was born in 1997 in Hamburg, Germany and currently lives and works in  Frankfurt where he is studying fine arts at the Städelschule. The work that he is showing in this exhibition is made out of resin and oil paint and shows landscapes that can be read as three-dimensional objects. Albert is interested in dioramas and often shows a moment of time in his work. In this case, the moment is captured by freezing the paint with resin and making the paint untouchable.

Magnus Peterson Horner was born in 1997 in Oxford, England and now lives and works in New York, NY. He attended Städelschule in Frankfurt, Germany from 2017-2018 and received his BFA from Cooper Union School of Fine Art in 2019. Inspired by his mom, he created and runs his own needlepoint business called Fresh Magpie, which operates on Etsy. Here he is showing a needlepoint work and a painting commissioned by his dad.

Julian Krause was born in 1996 in Freiburg, Germany. He currently lives in Frankfurt, where he will finish studying in 2023. His work is concerned with modes of mimetics. Antiquity becomes a weightless cipher of virtuality. Imagine a long white hair, untrimmed, curling out of the ear, escaping some funneling tedium. "If technology is the perfect control of sequences of movement, this leaves us with only one progressive function: braking."

Jesus Morales was born in 1998 and is a conceptual artist from Queens, New York. He studied at Malmö Art Academy in Sweden from 2018 - 2019 and received his BFA  from the Cooper Union School of Fine Art in 2020. For the exhibition he is showing recent photography.
