KATHARINA GROSSE’s solo exhibition ‘Arrels‘ with the Esbaluard Museu at La Llotja de Palma in Mallorca is now on view until 31 JAN 2027.

Grosse makes no distinction between painting, sculpture and architecture or between inside and out, surface and volume, wall and floor, viewer and participant. All is painting. In “Arrels,” the artist is creating a model of a landscape within a historic structure that she cannot touch.
Grosse’s intervention marks a particularly significant moment in her career, as it directly engages with the historical and symbolic dimension of the site in an unprecedented way. Unlike previous interventions in which architecture functioned as a surface, here the site also becomes the subject: the work responds to its history as one of Palma’s most emblematic heritage spaces, its original function as a vital space of exchange, and its open and permeable condition. In the artist’s own words, it is one of the clearest examples to date of integration between installation and architecture.

“Showing the same thing in a way that it is always different” is something that Caramelle said in 1979. It means that everything is already present but can always be seen and interpreted in a new fashion. In his current exhibition “das gleiche, aber anders” (the same, but different), which is also his tenth solo show in the gallery, the artist follows the same principles. Here, Caramelle opens up several levels of new spaces that not only extend beyond conventions, but also challenge our expectations in sophisticated ways. He thus establishes a connection to a poetic idea iterated by Oswald Oberhuber, who was his teacher at the art academy: “Art is the internal entrance to the unknown.”

KARIN SANDER’s solo exhibition ‘1957-2057’ at the Reykjavik Art Museum will open with a performance on 30 MAY 2026 at 14:00. It will be on view until 20 SEP 2026.

In the exhibition, everyday life becomes new and unexpected, we ourselves become different and part of Karin Sander’s body of work.
Karin Sander is a well known German artist who lives and works in Berlin, but over the past thirty years she has spent considerable time in Iceland and used the country as a subject in many of her works. This comprehensive exhibition, which is part of the Reykjavík Arts Festival, features pieces spanning the artist’s entire career and offers insight into the work of an international conceptual artist who engages with our environment and existence in unexpected and impactful ways.
Karin is known for revealing new dimensions of reality with minimal intervention. Many of her works rely on the participation of exhibition visitors or the influence of the surrounding environment, and her subtle interventions into the museum space invite reflection on the place itself—its purpose and its nature. The exhibition Karin Sander 1957–2057 explores notions of site-specificity in geographical, physical, and conceptual terms. Visitors are invited to have themselves scanned and 3D printed as small figurines; blank canvases placed out in the open accumulate surface textures under different conditions and a neon sign positions viewers within Hafnarhús according to Google Earth measurements.

KATHARINA GROSSE’s solo exhibition ‘Arrels‘ with the Esbaluard Museu at La Llotja de Palma in Mallorca will open on 27 MAY 2026 at 20:00. On view until 31 JAN 2027.

In “Arrels”, she transforms La Llotja into an active field of experience using colour as a force to unify disparate elements, alter perception and generate a multisensory immersion in space.
Grosse makes no distinction between painting, sculpture and architecture or between inside and out, surface and volume, wall and floor, viewer and participant. All is painting. In “Arrels,” the artist is creating a model of a landscape within a historic structure that she cannot touch.

‚Material Matters. Sheila Hicks and Shi Hui’ is now on view at the West Bund Museum in Shanghai. Until 2 AUG 2026.

This exhibition brings together two major figures in contemporary art for whom material matters. Sheila Hicks (b. 1934, American, lives in Paris) has been active on the international art scene since the early 1960s, working primarily with fiber, color, and structures. Shi Hui (b. 1955, Chinese, lives in Hangzhou) has developed her own language since the 1980s, exploring paper pulp, pure white, and poetic spatial forms. Both are pushing the traditions of art making through experimentation using humble materials in innovative modes.
In this double solo exhibition, we are captivated by how Sheila Hicks intertwines threads, colors, and histories, and engages with softness and monumentality. At the same time, we decipher the multiple lives Shi Hui gives to paper pulp, and how her work rekindles Chinese artistic traditions.
To reconsider art history through material is to reconcile the eye, the hand, and the intellect, and embrace tactility and contemplation at once. It is to underline the importance of processes and know-how. Soft materials-textiles and paper- become universal vessels for memory and concepts, encouraging emotions and learning.

We are excited to share that BERNARD FRIZE’s solo exhibition at MARe/The Museum of Recent Art in Bucharest will open on 21 MAY 2026. It will be on view until 16 AUG 2026.

Occupying the first and second floors, the Bernard Frize retrospective is an unprecedented event for Eastern Europe. Following major shows in cities like Tokyo, Shanghai, Los Angeles,
and Paris, Frize arrives in Bucharest with over 40 large-scale works created between 1980 and 2024. His art is less about the subjective vision and signature of the artist and more about the logic of the process itself. By following simple gestures and rigid rules, Frize creates a visual universe where control and abandonment meet, challenging traditional ideas about how a painting should be made.

PREMIERE! Die Sammlung der Österreichischen Nationalbank is currently on view at the Leopold Museum in Vienna. Including works by HERBERT BRANDL and ERSNT CARAMELLE. On view until 11 OCT 2026.

Since the late 1980s, the OeNB has been collecting Austrian painting and sculpture from 1918 to the present day, with a particular focus on the art of the interwar period (including Post-Expressionism and New Objectivity) and abstract works created after 1945. On display are works by New Objectivity artists such as Rudolf Wacker and Franz Sedlacek, as well as distinctive interwar positions ranging from Max Oppenheimer to Greta Freist.
In contemporary art, fascinating parallels emerge between generations of artists, for example in the work of Maria Lassnig and Tobias Pils, or Svenja Deininger and Ernst Caramelle. Different approaches to abstraction in painting — from Martha Jungwirth to Herbert Brandl — are represented in the collection, alongside sculptural works by artists such as Josef Pillhofer and Julia Haugeneder.

Must-See at this year’s La Biennale di Venezia – SONIA LEIMER is going to be part of the group exhibition ‘Shifting Waters’ at the ERES Foundation. A collateral Event of the 61st International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia.

Based on seven internationally established artistic positions, it will highlight aspects of the changing relationship between humans and water cycles, which are the basis of all life.
In a fluid interplay, the Collateral Event Shifting Waters ERES Foundation combines various aspects of the coexistence of humans and water. The artistic positions are reminiscent of the permanent struggle with the forces of nature or enchant with the poetry of the liquid. The beauty of pearls, the wondrous texture of scales, enormous structures from the hidden realm and the remains of dismantled architecture create a melody of connection and repulsion. The exhibition features images, sculptures and thoughts that give an idea of how to deal with the fluidity of water, how to respond to it and how to benefit from it. A constant flow of change that will also shape our future.

Venue
Fondazione ERES
Castello 1228, Ca’ Sarasina
30122 Venezia

Opening Hours
9 May to 28 June 2026
4 Sept to 1 Nov 2026
Fri, Sat, Sun, 11 am – 6 pm

Admission free

Don’t miss the last days of the group exhibition ‘Sweeter than Honey. A Panorama of Written Art’ at the Pinakothek der Moderne Munich to see KATHARINA GROSSE’s work. On view until 26 APR 2026.

For the first time, the Modern Art Collection (Sammlung Moderne Kunst) in the Pinakothek der Moderne is dedicating a major special exhibition focussing on its holdings of works of scriptural and text-based art. The selection presents writing as both an artistic medium and material from the mid-20th century to the present day. ‘Sweeter than Honey. A Panorama of Written Art’ highlights a dynamic socio-political dialogue between artists from a pancultural, global perspective.
