Ulay German, 1943-2020

The seventh exhibition in Richard Saltoun Gallery's year-long series inspired by the political philosopher Hannah Arendt will display two historically significant artworks by ULAY (Frank Uwe Laysiepen, 1943-2020) and Allan...

'On Hannah Arendt: Eight Proposals for Exhibition' looks to one of the most important thinkers of the post-war generation to confront some of the most pressing socio-political issues of our time.

From January until December 2021, 'On Hannah Arendt' will feature eight exhibitions that seek to explore the questions put forth in the eight chapters of Arendt’s book 'Between Past and Future: Eight Exercises in Political Thought.' The entire programme features over 20 international artists, including Siah ARMAJANI, Lili DUJOURIE, Peter KENNARD, Vivienne KOORLAND, Everlyn NICODEMUS, Lerato SHADI, ULAY and more.

ULAY is an unclassifiable artist whose trajectory amounts to a radically and historically unique oeuvre operating at the intersection of photography and the conceptually-oriented approaches of Performance and Body art. His first exhibition with Richard Saltoun Gallery, and his first in London since 2013, focuses on the artist's remarkable photography and his long-standing commitment to exploring and expanding the medium.
