Opening – 1 MAY 2026, 6-10 pm
On the occasion of Gallery Weekend Berlin 2026, Galerie Noah Klink is pleased to present the exhibition ‘By Proxy’ by Miriam Umiń and Josefine Reisch. In their respective works, both artists playfully analyse infrastructural and representative mechanisms within visual culture. In ‘By Proxy’, they address the dynamics within projections of femininity and standardisation.

Josefine Reisch’s work is characterized by a constant questioning of a popularized cultural heritage. Through the dichotomy of narratives and objects, she encourages us to reevaluate. In her new group of paintings, presented at Galerie Noah Klink, Josefine combines symbols of standardization with the hyper-mythological. Shipping containers and Euro-crates meet illustrations of mermaids and figureheads. Josefine‘s life-size depictions play on painting’s capacity to transform narratives into a state that feels like déjà vu and the unknown at the same time.
