During the Cologne/Düsseldorf Gallery Weekend Desaga Gallery will open their space to welcome the artist Carola Deye, chosen by EXILE Berlin, to present her works.

Deye’s exhibition entitled Jeansmangel subversively references her northern German heritage and personal biography. Having grown up on a farm in the countryside Deye grew up with its stagnant traditions, expectations and gender definitions. In her artworks Deye elaborates on these myths and traditions and crafts her own artistic language out of these.
