Ettlingen, Germany.- Galerie Heinz-Martin Weigand is pleased to present "Mona Breede: How Long is Now" on view at the gallery from September 24th through November 26th. In her early works, Mona Breede often chose public spaces that were artworks in their own right. She watched how human beings moved, how they reacted to each other and to the surrounding space. Today she is mostly interested in people and places. As a photographer, Mona Breede has a keen and sensitive eye. Her works, being so expressive, interpret the reality and put their mark on it.

Mona Breede was born in Kiel (Germany) in 1968. In 1988-1989, she was intern at the photography department of the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe, Hamburg. Then she studied photography in Munich, at the Bayeriche Staatslehranstalt für Photographie, and at the Staatlichen Hochschule für Gestaltung de Karlsruhe, under Rolf Sachsse and Thomas Struth. In 2001-2002, Mona Breede was teacher for photography and design at the Merkur Akademie in Karlsruhe. In 2007, after photographing in Chicago, Mona Breede went to Asia and Russia and returned with new marvelous photographic series representing Shanghai, Moscow, and St Petersburg. These works were the subject of a major exhibition in Russia at the Moscow Museum of Modern Art and at the State Center of Photography in St Petersburg in 2009.


The focus of the Galerie Heinz-Martin Weigand is to show the work of emerging artists from Germany, Europe and the United States. Gallery artists have been included in many important exhibitions in the last five years, such as the Venice Biennale (2001). Galerie Heinz-Martin Weigand have numerous publications and monographs available on all gallery artists. The gallery participates in most of the important international art fairs (i.e. Art Cologne, Art Frankfurt, Art Chicago, Art Brussels, Art Athens etc). Galerie Haus Schneider was incorporated in 1994. In 1998 Heinz-Martin Weigand became a partner in the gallery and took it over in 2003, changing the name to Galerie Heinz-Martin Weigand.
