11 SEP until 26 OCT 2025
Opening – 11 SEP 2025, 6-10 pm

Richard Sides’ second solo exhibition at Schiefe Zähne, Looking At Rooms In A New Light, brings together new works in installation, sculpture, and sound alongside his recent monochromatic paintings. As is typical for Sides, the exhibition itself functions as both a conceptual work and architectural site, as questions of technology and consciousness unfold theatrically. Readymades that carry dust and dirt are installed as ciphers for cosmic scales, presented alongside a new installation that uses suspended blocks of colour activated directly with amplified sound. Abstraction, concrete music and minimalism as canonical concerns of art history are at once referenced and disrupted by Sides’ idiosyncratic network of sound and image. 

Richard Sides (b. 1985, Rotherham, UK) is an artist and curator based in Berlin. His works explore contemporary ideas of meaning as an existential problem. Recent solo exhibitions include Psychology (Carlos/Ishikawa, London, 2025), Years (KIN, Brussels, 2025), and The Matrix (Schiefe Zähne, Berlin, 2021). Forthcoming exhibitions include Life after life, the 15th Kaunas Biennial, Lithuania and Four Dilations at MoMA PS1, New York.
