it happened 175 years ago of young start up entrepreneur at a specific goal to build the best optical instruments in the way cod size. linda, my says, bearing his name with one day be feature landing and lead science into new realms. 175 years of life starts june 19th on b, w. ah, i know she's one of the most important and best known artists in germany today in dodge lun. ah bleach here is the real deal. she's a real world famous artist, a criminal,

a crim are crazy about her is of is on the visa or the alexio's, a special person, just a bundle of energy. and we were just as fascinated by her as by her artwork, dot com. mm. moon plymouth, and it's chris that i think is an artist. you totally have to learn to formulate thought nasha that they turn into what you mean to create my supper with . mm. ah,

hospital, nickel, when phosphorus, carbon and so forth. the human body is made up of $24.00 elements in math is more than the sum of its parts. that's all it is the last one. ah, this is how it looks when i eat sick. vada creates a self portrait. she reduces the human body to its elementary ingredients, cool and precise. ah, born in 1979 and cut of its poland. she has risen to become one of the most successful artists in germany. her expansive sculptures and installations have a special place in private collections and museum exhibitions and audiences love them. she is enjoyed world wide renown since designing the rooftop garden on new york's metropolitan museum in 2019 isn't out law. so my view is

only see the highlights and not how the whole thing takes forever, or how you exhibited work and 100 like garages. no one's interested in that to go behind. from the very beginning, she received support from collectors, cotton and christiane morris. the couple showcases her work in a former bunker in berlin mito district. ah, what fascinates them about her art the alicia elite she has always asking questions of fit and i find that courageous i think i'm on as a desk mom. she even questions things we all agree on in our culture and society toward to constantly i but why? the home is awful. is this payment she question and examines all systems in place is team is whether earlier currency pick the time system or, or statistics program and was hoping mm

ah, a bank in spies of her, prov chess, a very analytical element to it. and life touch welfare for it at the same time, something very poetic, precise, and downright scientific and chocolate of crowded thought. the home, these and i'm the american didn't why diamonds have a particular price or gold plan. why do they say a gram costs? i don't know $32.00 euros and $0.80 is that who decides it cost that much. what are the forces and play creating the supposed reality? and the more you look at it, the more you realize that everything has just been 3000000 made ups holes. of course, there's no natural reason why something costs a certain amount or claims to be such and such. and i think i've always had problems with these alleged fundamental truths or belief audit is had the hugs i was, but maybe also since i'm from poland, maybe because everyone's catholic. there may be because everyone there runs to church and you don't invite the devil into daily life. i don't. but what devil are

they talking about like and why anyway? and why am i supposed to buy? like i said, it's all just so strange. i've always had a hard time just excepting when someone says that's the way things are that the so just believe at theater computers and he took, brought his ideas, are the result of highly concentrated research, drawing and writing. ah, it are studio. she works with her team to turn her thoughts into art. and art has been a guiding force in her life since she was a child. and methodist closer to like at and i got a e in core, dice and cut of it. my father is an art historian and used to run a gallery and cut of it's a poland. my mother is a cultural scientist and everything always had to do with art art history or history in general. mm hm. which is what meaning it was normal for me to constantly look at church gables and paintings. i wasn't aware of the possibility of existing outside as well as yet.

ah, my father always may join competitions for me and all my cousins. there would be 5, right? kids laugh, we'd get a topic and we'd have to draw something based on out or whatever. and since i was the youngest one, i had to give it everything i had to half way keep up with it me, that's it. and i did laying on my pipe fix of him. it's a hyphen basilica matter. mm. as an in demand artist, ali chic water is always working on several projects at the same time. she is currently preparing a big exhibition in berlin. several sculptures in public places. and a new series of pieces for private collectors. her studio is a research lab material warehouse. and workshop in one is up by me with scansion alice to tie. i think everything would quickly collapse for me if i didn't have the

possibility to do a lot of passivity. it's kind of like a perpetual mobley the father and the machine runs the longer it keeps going. as though lego bribes, the alpha that's of thought a studio discipline is key. the various production processes are perfectly inner coordinated and deadlines. set the pace to day up to 30 employees work on her projects. ah, quickly have, i, le, isn't cancer of his ice now? her entire production has grown and she employ several people. mia loiter and, and a chef taste. he had, she basically has a factory now. he, oh lou did it. so i'd say she's also covering market demand to keep the structure alive to i'm label i just a short time alisha,

colorado needed to expand her operation to meet the demand of the art market. hey, sorry. hey, sorry, i got held up. was look, i also have to dash over to egos for the concrete august of august. okay, thank a thanks. that looks great. thank you kevin. okay, marie, go ahead and mark which ones those are i should have sent, not put in. and also would you be able to make the other thing look a bit nicer? you know, here as the here. kevin, i just have these visitors to morrow. probably we just need to open this and then whatever we have probably will hang this here. hang with physical for him, matter listed, i think on homelessness i. of course everyone thinks of reuben's and to 60 employees when an artist is very successful and has to produce a lot. of course they're not going to be building their own canvas. it all does by alyssa kindly tick fata, when you think of it works with giant pieces of stone. so she needs employees and

a well organized studio, a foreclosure. i think the mark of a successful artist is great organizational raquel soon as far as min ah ah sha, i'm fungus is forgotten me. if it's at 1st, i found it really difficult to take any health only because i couldn't imagine having any one else and the same space while i was working from bonham, leave it just physically being banging, it seemed like a terrible idea. i put it off for ages as you can fly, have his things changed very slowly for a long time. i had no employees on fridays friday and because i also had the weekend, it meant i had it least 3 days a week for myself. he can tell enemy,

but at some point that was no longer possible. and as he had his physical, it's been a learning process. there is. and what i'm trying out now is having my own area. that's where we are now. and when i'm here, it means my employees should mostly leave me alone would. i'm also totally happy when i can be here in the evenings. marvin's can, ah, this with my little one's enough space of eventually this will become some sort of office space or something but, but right now i just have an incredible amount of stuff. summary. i don't even know what it is. anyway. i collect all kinds of things and there are endless lamps and also parts of lamps and they're mechanical, clockworks and clock way. or is that really old mantlepiece clog life? and i've been obsessed with looking for the same objects. but usually they're like

decoupled particles of matter copies. i look for the exact same thing produced at the same time. let's say made in the 20s, but one from mexico and the other from i don't know norway. and then i put them back together on the patio so thought if lobbied on the stuff, i don't think she's interested in hoarding material. her for obsessed with willing things obsessed through cuz it's that was the boring of she is obsessed with using these things to go are i it's was that psalms. she deploys them as incisive leah's stones and a piece of jewelry. so potent tier to the work is like a piece of jewelry will be and the objects emphasize her ability or oh young and entrepreneur. so he needs things that are highly charge. use gosnell from buffer balls. i'm sure she has piles of things. she doesn't yet know what to do with. oh, but eventually the one hope she'll know was, was to them at mock. omar versus his son,

the cat with his as to the turnaround thing here, it may be not closer to the 20th a country that what the turn around is quite a nice work the mind of it. i'm not sure it's in here. if it was, i would have come across it again. my oh no way. there's a turn around and it was a little, obviously online. i haven't seen this work in a 100 years. let them sweat at the end of his meeting. it's not on display right now. madison, i love it, it's called turnaround. does not attend this, yet it might have been 2009 when i did it myself. but it's just a section of a burden staircase. bannister on upset from them, but then it's mounted on the wall like this, and you run, that's the moment when you change direction. so this is, i think that so beautiful and fits the hand so nicely finished with food and is often hunt bye sir. ah,

preparations are under wait for the exhibition in up fees and tide, or in absence at the belly. nisha gallery in the german capital ally chick, father's own heartbeat is the show soundtrack, emphasizing her presence or absence. the sculptures play on her personality and also physical height. ellis blossom, all of these are bronzes, phones laid on top of each other. and here you see my team, law, me greg ho, kevin and valentine. as the tallest at to 7, the smallest is lauer at one and a half liters. plus there's an unknown giant of 3 and a half meters toward their portraits in a way. and they all correspond to someone's height with the phone in the artworks arrive at the museum. i li, chick florida is personally involved with the installation. she's very clear about the times when she wants to retain control,

retain. an exhibition in her hometown of berlin brings an additional challenge in if it is, it's difficult. of course you absolutely want to exhibit in berlin because you live here, but berlin scares me the most. me about that because it's belly and i've developed an exhibition that formerly very different from my outside the museum, a sculpture titled self portrait as ghost welcome visitors made of bronze. it's a shrouded depiction of the artist herself. it's life size. ah, i says that a 5 isn't experimental. it was sort of like an experiment. i said, ok, i'll try to look at myself as an object, as a sort of biological object in

a certain period of time. because i'm quite interested in the human object as an a current interval. see it for the show. with the bellini sch gallery, ali chick vada had her personal dna read than paper it onto the museum. was her heartbeat as transmitted, live into the space directly from a smart watch she wears during the exhibition that makes her state of mind immediately audible. including on this monday morning, just a few kilometers away. the group exhibition diversity united is taking place at the former temper hope airport. it brings together art from all over europe. ok. ok. ok . that's great for the talk to later, bye. touch snarling has deliberately placed for the next a male heavy weights georg buys and it's an unsigned m kiefer. but at 1st glance

grata isn't quite convinced. oh it's reality which is always between a dream and a nightmare at home. she gets in touch with the studio. she's decided she wants to show another work here. maggie has to have owned and since marie, do you have any film of the work? you don't get a good sense of it from photos of it. it would be great if you could send it to me quickly, canal fun and out of province of it's and now she just needs to convince the curator hello via her. hello val turn. it's fantastic. i'm so impressed one. and to be in this space again. yeah, those, those of you knew what special either there every one taking part has their own style. whether it's you, adrian, jumping me, young. painting or limb saliva. yeah. how much of their own signature with his own,

not paying for the amanda or got it. i understand you're all unique, but it all works together. yes. so it looks great and it's working well in the space. i can tell you like it, i, i really love it and that, but i can because there's something i want to do back on separately. 7, i'm old as will be taken away. if i know this is, i think it's really great for us, but i just had an idea. i think we need to progress, but wait a minute, i have the work ready? absolutely. i would and i think it would fit so great here. you know this one yesterday nice is really would be so incredible here 3. it's a rock and we could hang it so that it's a bit higher handkerchief. oh, my god, middle is like a home amazing right? and yon has to work in the warehouse the same law. she's also an artist when it comes to diplomacy. inter gambit pays on. just in time for the opening,

the exhibition incorporates our needs, her father's idea. but between negotiations and studio management, how much time does a successful artist have left for creativity? and miss, for me a work is complete when i've managed what's the most important step for me to formulate my thoughts in such a way that a physical artwork will eventually come out of it. and i achieve that using almost no tools, just a pencil and a sheet of paper that was ha, ah, mine, my artistic process is still an incredibly intimate one with her. i'm here and can only really be on my own. and i listen to some music and in the best case scenario, it's a moment of total joy. you're quite euphoric and could just shout out how great everything is, though that can all change really fast is open. it's almost like being in a permanent manic depressive state. of permanent molars with

think everything was start with the drew in though naturally there needs to be a thought behind it and to formulate that thought, i need to make a sketch. so i make several sketches and try to consider, okay, what might work and what doesn't work, as well as to imagine the sizes. and as soon as i have a drawing, i send it usually as a simple to cell phone photo to my team late at night, along with an incomprehensible email which i always dictated to my phone and nobody understands at all. and i say this is what we're doing now. if usually the schedules incredibly tight, which is something i wish could change, but likely never will. then things take off quite fast. hooper's out of a middle working company here in especially rented building. chronos, working on a huge commission for a private collector. ah,

the production costs a lot run into 6 figures here with nick, also a big sculpture called linear land is being constructed here. and then it'll go to a private collector in texas, though i think it will be displayed in a semi public space. it will, i hope, will be open to the public. but i don't know that yet, it and slowly coming together and should be finished in february, i believe. let's see if the welding seems, have been removed to hulu. provider monitors such details because she also needs to keep an eye on production costs. it's the only way to ensure her ambitious projects remain profitable for gallery owners and her studio. ah, there's no counter sync yet, but oh,

it's nice that it still needs to be flat. yeah. love i. yeah, there's no counter sync at all. yeah, that's yeah, but it quite elegant. okay. if i could, if i and there are projects that require certain production budget, i project the costs make a budget and hope that a gallery will finance it as soon as they financed it. i hope that the work will sell, so they'll get their money back. at 1st you earn almost nothing on these projects, but that allows me to build the next one. this creates a basic sense of trust that folks aren't investing their money for nothing. if they give me $500000.00 euros 3 times than the warehouse would fill up in and with all the cost of some of the movement and storage always costs money. is lambda who do that? i can't ask that of anyone that person doesn't exist being 50, the person kept is me because it's quite exact. it's on a $1.00 to $20.00 scale that proportionately. it's just like the real thing. you can tell that from the person standing here it mr. kenny. mr. koenig exactly is

great, but at some point elisia made it her goal to do bigger projects because she finds them exciting on that. and that's how it works with him. all you set yourself good . they work out somehow. she doesn't have to do much to convince me exactly. she just says it'll look like this and to the ahmed, that's the framework of this was i'm, can we do it together? and almost always, i say yes. on the 2nd in my yard, though nothing works, without the gallery owners, they're only tick father's most important partners. she's even found representation abroad. since 2012, the renown gallery cml manure has even shown her works in paris. ah, with he the marvelous artist and these are one of them was interesting artists of her generation. if you could. i'd seen some of her works with shiny,

really question. what contemporary sculpture to read is for the century. oh, to be an arses who creates objects for public spaces, galleries, and museums, pedagogy regarding that's true. but there's also a tension, something extremely powerful in her work or from dick friendly to when i met her. and i was extremely surprised to find the particular channel singers, because i'd imagined her to be more physically imposing for chris saw coin more. oh, you're happy installation. her parisian galleries believes elite, she has works, have great potential on the french art market. and she's determined to make it big in france, t as late like this right now. good grab. there's a great music. hell is he to lizzie's art? there's also something graphical and sonorous about it yet. i don't want her work as a sense of time, but it's also very spatial to dogs. ah,

really like a boy. it's like a caricature. it always makes me laugh because this collaboration is just the way you to matching with this for quite different. and of course, the buy is a different to generally the americans like to buy big, huge things and right away here the madam was like to have a little something nice on display in their bathrooms. can i know that the german is a turn? keep a very low profile, they're often bourgeois industrialization. we know that you'd never even recognize them as such. and they have incredible collection of me only min, missouri, akin florida. i saw julia on both of them. no. but clara has no time to enjoy the sights of paris. back in berlin, work has started on a new big project. alita kata has been invited to take part in the sculpture exhibition, desert, x and california. as always,

her concept begins with pencil and paper. this sketch will act as a blueprint for the artist and her team in the coming months. clever hamilton think of that as an artist. i think you have to learn how to formulate your thoughts in such a way that then later become what i want to create. mentally you have to pursue your vision in such a systematic and logical way that it can be realised somehow. and of course i learned from that 1st impulse that's may be half dram hoffen counted voice half, who knows what exactly and how to reformulate that into the chain of events which is necessary to produce the desired result type of when i agatha dinner vendor is on band, this is an a, there's a difference of. mm ah, okay. so 5 other, you know,

i get an adrenalin rush when i have an exhibition here and then a project results. you speak the whole dealer and get to show it off. and then you have to set a price and see if you can offer a discount or a packaged younger. i think that super and great fun to somehow i think it just helps you get better and better and better and better. ah ah ah, with
