The m3 art space in the Mengerzeile studio building offers members the opportunity to curate exhibitions and bring artistic perspectives into dialogue with one another. I have encountered the artists featured in this exhibition over the years in various contexts—through conversations, collaborative projects, or chance encounters. Two of them live and work in Berlin, the others are traveling from London for the exhibition. Now, they all come together here—in the rhythm of a quickstep: fast, light-footed, in exchange. Quickstep 2 is the second exhibition in this format—a dynamic interplay of different positions, forms of expression, and narratives. (Hildegard Skowasch) 

Eva Sajovic(London) is a Slovenian artist working in the fields of live art, installation, and social practice. At the heart of her work are material and social transformation processes. Shaped by the dissolution of Yugoslavia and the rapid transition from socialism to capitalism, she explores the conditions of neoliberal societies. Her practice often includes large-scale participatory projects in which she uses collaborative methods to encourage people to actively participate. This results in objects made of knitwear, ceramics, and various materials that serve as props, tools, or sources of inspiration in her interventions and research.

Sandra Lane is a London-based visual artist. She creates diverse forms from materials such as paper, wire, clay, and plaster, arranging them to create dialogues and contrasts between them. She seeks vulnerability and absurdity in simple forms. The objects she creates are often the result of what can be done with and from a particular material, such as a puddle of solidified liquid, which also involves pushing its boundaries until it wobbles or disintegrates. She is fascinated by the shifting perspectives created by changes in gravity and scale.

Susanne Britz (Berlin) works with everyday objects, recombining them in still lifes and installations, thereby transforming their meaning. She uses the materials, forms, and symbolism of the objects to disrupt familiar functions and create enigmatic, surreal arrangements that inspire reflection. In addition to installations, she creates digitally processed photographs and drawings that combine analog and digital elements. Her works demonstrate the creative process and invite the viewer to develop their own interpretations.

Fee Kleiß is a Berlin-based painter and sculptor who works with materials from her everyday life. She transforms waste from industrial mass production into artificial models of nature, reworking the materials until they lose their original meaning and something new emerges. In her current paintings, she uses clippings from grocery store advertising magazines, which she composes into flat still lifes in colorful pictorial spaces. These works are based on her twenty-year practice of sketches and collages. For her sculptures, she uses clothing and found objects from the side of the road, which she shapes and hardens using methods such as compressed air. The resulting light, hollow forms hardly resemble clothing and appear like faceless beings. The development of such experimental techniques is an important part of her artistic practice, in which she consciously relies on simple, everyday materials.
