AMERICAN CHAMPAGNE:
INSIDE LA'S ART SCENE
NEW PROJECT: DOCUMENTARY SERIES Join us as we take you on a journey through the streets, galleries and museums of Los Angeles. Our documentary series features interviews and studio visits with local artists such as Fulton Leroy Washington (aka MR. WASH), Kelly "RISK" Graval, Anthony "Toons" Martin and many more. Discover the stories behind the artworks, gain insight into the creative process, and witness firsthand the remarkable impact that art has on individuals and communities.
MAISON DOUCE
my art collective
Maison Douce is the art collective of Lotte Hauss and Marc Suess. Together they explore the transformative power of ritual through immersive performances, artworks, set design, music videos, and brand collaborations. From unlocking the unconscious to creating stunning visual experiences, the collective pushes the boundaries of art and culture, inviting audiences to delve into the unknown with their artistic interventions.
SWEETSPOT STUDIO
creative direction
With Sweetspot Studio, I develop and design high-quality and identity-creating brands – from sustainable strategies and excellent design to effective communication and holistic brand experiences. I offer workshops, coaching and strategic consulting, as well as implementation in design, storytelling and media products. Explore projects and find your sweetspot.
podcasts
storytelling
I produce and host podcasts, both on behalf of my clients and for my own formats. I am particularly interested in the topics of creative work and life, contemporary art and pop culture. You can check out my feuilleton podcast Fugengold, my art podcast The Transmute Tapes or my Sweetspot Podcast where I talk to creative entrepreneurs.
In our rapidly evolving world driven by artificial intelligence and technology, creativity stands as the ultimate superpower, paving the way for innovation, connection,
and progress.
HÖHERE MÄCHTE GIN
commercial storytelling
Höhere Mächte (German for „Higher Spirits“) is the world’s first astrology gin, created together with the DMI Distillery and my art collective Maison Douce. Using seasonal ingredients and botanicals that match the temperament of each zodiac sign, we created 12 unique gins. We have developed special rituals and curated playlists for each gin experience.
MOTHERHShip
Gallery & STudio
The Mothership is perhaps the most inspiring location in Hamburg! It houses the Sweetspot design studio and gallery of the Hamburg art collective Maison Douce. The spacious loft area and lounge are used for monthly art workshops, openings, and events, and can also be rented as a studio and event location.
ABout Marc
I draw on over ten years of experience in the creative and media industry. After studying media design and innovation management, I worked in design studios and creative agencies, as a freelance creative director, I co-founded several companies, and now run my own design and art studio. I have had a passion for art and music for as long as I can remember.
My artistic work is an exploration of ancient and pop cultural archetypes, of the dirty and the sacred. I draw inspiration from abstract, tribal, and street art, primitivism, and graphic novels. I call my art "contemporary cave paintings". With my art collective "Maison Douce", I create artistic interventions, incorporating video, music, and performances.
As a creative entrepreneur, I explore crafting meaning and experiences in various projects. As a creative director and brand consultant, I help entrepreneurs bring their vision to life with my brand-building and design studio, "Sweetspot Studio".
I also share my understanding of the creative process and industry with the next generation, as a lecturer at the School of Popular Arts in Berlin and the Macromedia University Hamburg, and with the audiences of my podcasts. My Hamburg-based gallery “Mothership” is a space for exploring, gathering, and celebrating the arts.
