carlier | gebauer Founded in 1991 by Ulrich Gebauer and co-directed with Marie-Blanche Carlier since 1997, the gallery aims to promote international contemporary art.

Its program reveals an affinity towards aesthetic and conceptual research which indicates formulations of political awareness in the fields of installation and in the image, through film, photography, painting and drawing. Rather than following a specific theoretical theme, the gallery offers its artists a platform on which to experiment. This allows for a broad spectrum of sometimes antinomical v

iewpoints to be displayed. In this sense, each show is conceived with its own criteria, without making reference to previous exhibitions. The ample exhibition space allows the gallery to show large-scale installations in a museum like setting. This allows for new exhibition ideas to be conceived. In an ongoing interest in young artists the gallery regularly opens its program to poignant statements in the series of exhibitions entitled "ticker". Site specific installations as well as specific projects in collaboration with other galleries within this framework, seeks to broaden this approach, hence becoming mature statements. A great number of the artists of the gallery have participated in major biennials and international exhibitions as well as having significant solo exhibitions in major international museums.

“Issa has described the question as a medium: a material as tangible as wood, metal or photography. Once posed, it is put to the test. It may change shape, even begin to undermine the assumptions that made it possible in the first place. What at first appears to be a game of identification gradually reveals itself to be something else: an invitation to take a stance. Another posture.”

Words by Laura Vallés Vílchez (). Read the full essay on Issa’s upcoming solo exhibition, ‘A Game, or So You May Think’, now available on our website.

Iman Issa’s exhibition opens during APERTURA, Gallery Weekend Madrid (Arte Madrid), on Thursday, 10 September, from 1:30–10 pm, at carlier | gebauer, Madrid.

Nida Sinnokrot – Above Ground Below – Part 3 of 3⁠

“’Above Ground Below’ bears witness to Palestine’s past, present, and future through this accumulation of archives, cosmologies, martyrs, and mythological structures rising from the rubble. Together, they insist on a continuity between what is buried below, what remains on the ground, and what continues to rise above.” – Nida Sinnokrot

We are excited to share the first of a three-part video series with artist Nida Sinnokrot, speaking about his current exhibition ‘Above Ground Below’ and the works presented in the installation.⁠

In this first part, Sinnokrot peaks about ‘Rubber Coated Rocks (RCR)’, initiated in 2001 and presented here in a 2024–26 iteration, composed of stones, discarded footballs, and other found materials gathered at checkpoints in Palestine.⁠

He also speaks about ‘Open Books’ (2026), with texts by Tawfiq Canaan and Gustaf Dalman, which anchor the installation within an earlier moment of exchange between Palestine and Germany.

From January to April this year, Ming Wong (Ming Wong), the National Gallery’s 2025 Artist in Residence, presented ‘Dance of the sun on the water | Saltatio solis in aqua’, a short film and installation inspired by the story and imagery of Saint Sebastian.⁠

Drawing on the 14 depictions of Saint Sebastian in the National Gallery’s collection, from the Pollaiuolo brothers to Gerrit van Honthorst, as well as Derek Jarman’s landmark 1976 film Sebastiane, Wong brought together references spanning the Renaissance to the present.⁠

Set within the National Gallery itself, the film reimagined the story of Saint Sebastian’s martyrdom. By connecting historical imagery with contemporary perspectives, the work explored how stories of persecution, faith and resistance continue to resonate today.

Nida Sinnokrot speaks about his work ‘The Constellation’ (2026), currently on view as part of his solo exhibition ‘Above Ground Below’ at carlier | gebauer, Berlin.⁠

The exhibition unfolds as a field of relations organised across sky, ground and subterranean registers. ‘The Constellation ‘ images introduce one register of this movement. In the original action, pigeons fitted with LED lights moved across the dusk sky above Jalazon refugee camp, producing shifting formations that follow a swarm logic.⁠

On view until Saturday, 29 August.

“Every pigment has a particular behaviour once it binds with oil. I respect the nature of each mineral and the role that it plays on the canvas.” – Paolo Salvador⁠

Central to .salvador’s practice is a deeply tactile and intuitive approach to painting. Combining traditional painting techniques with experimental material processes, he works with clay-based pigments, natural resins, and handwoven textiles to create living surfaces shaped through rhythm, gesture, and the physicality of the materials.⁠

Drawing on mythologies, oral traditions, ancestral histories, and the biodiversity of the Amazon and Andes, his works unfold as shifting spaces where body, landscape, spirit, and ecology remain fluid. Naked figures, spectral animals, and saturated fields of colour suggest unstable relationships between humans, animals, and symbolic forms.⁠

Paolo Salvador’s solo exhibition at carlier | gebauer, Madrid, is on view until 25 July. ⁠

Now on view at carlier | gebauer, Madrid: new solo exhibitions by and .salvador, both on view through Saturday, 25 July.

In his first solo exhibition with the gallery, Salvador’s paintings fuse Peruvian cosmology, personal memory, and material experimentation into immersive worlds where humans, animals, and nature exist in a state of continuous becoming.

Diaz Morales’ solo exhibition ‘The Shadow Out of Time’ borrows its title from H.P. Lovecraft’s story of consciousness displaced across aeons, the exhibition reimagines the shadow not as a monster, but as the faint, persistent signal of a world that has ceased to be — a parallel reality or shifted timeline in which a world has quietly vanished elsewhere.

Despite being deeply rooted in scholarly research, the work of Leonor Serrano Rivas appears imbued by interpretation and free association, concatenating thoughts with a non-logical reading of things and themes. Dream logic is used to present layered sensorial environments where the viewer must forget the narrative impulse. ⁠

’ exhibitions reimagine a distressed reality as a theatre set-like realm of imagination and fiction, with artworks acting as mediators and instruments calibrating and measuring this new cosmos.⁠

Serrano Rivas’ work is currently on view in our solo presentation at , booth G07. Follow the link in bio for more information about the works shown.
