‘Places and Events’

Group show at König Galerie, Berlin, 2023

Excerpt from König Galerie’s press release:

KÖNIG GALERIE is delighted to present the group exhibition PLACES AND EVENTS, which brings together a diverse array of new perspectives in the field of abstract art. The exhibition arrives at a timely moment following a renewed interest and energy around abstraction more generally. Like painting, conceptualism, installation, and numerous other genres of artistic practice, abstraction has had its fair share of endings and declines, only to re-emerge again and again. Its return now might not be as coincidental as it at first appears, for, historically, following years of successive and prolonged crises and global disruptions, abstraction has come to the fore precisely in moments when the depiction of reality feels more distressing than ever before. Abstraction can provide, if not an escape, at least a refuge – a space for distance, reflection, experimentation, and fresh outlooks.
