Gabriel Chaile in Potsdam: When an oven sculpture becomes an art experience

In the DAS MINSK art house in Potsdam, contemporary art meets communal experience: The installation »Brenda« by Gabriel Chaile connects outdoor space, sculptural presence, and culinary hospitality. The event is scheduled from April 25 to August 30, 2026; fresh pizza accompanies the open format in the outdoor area of the house on Saturdays.

A sculpture that shapes space and encounter

Chaile works with adobe, clay, and earth-related forms, described in international art criticism as monumental, physical, and community-building. His practice revolves around indigenous knowledge forms, pre-Columbian references, rituals, and architectural archetypes; his works oscillate between sculpture, vessel, hearth, and sanctuary. The Biennale di Venezia highlights that Chaile works with forms of what is called genealogy of form, developing a poetic yet humorous visual language from traditional vessels and ovens.

Brenda as a social artwork

The oven sculpture »Brenda« activates the outdoor space not only visually but also socially: During the event, it is fired up and provides visitors with pizza and snacks. Thus, art becomes an experiential social practice, as an aesthetic experience in communal lingering, seeing, and speaking. DAS MINSK intentionally links this form of exchange with its program on community, global interconnections, and participatory formats.
