Andreas Steinbrecher in Berlin

Der Sturm ist aus Luft is a group exhibition curated by Thomas Scheibitz, opening on April 17, 2026, at SCHAU FENSTER in Berlin. Bringing together around 20 artistic positions across generations, the exhibition explores a spectrum of approaches ranging from abstraction to personal systems of image-making and translation.

At its core is the concept of a “sequence of images” (Bildstrecke), which functions both as a conceptual framework and as a response to the architecture of the space. SCHAU FENSTER, a narrow exhibition venue approximately 25 meters long and 4 meters deep, reads like a walkable storefront with a clear beginning and end. The presentation follows this linear structure deliberately, avoiding elaborate staging in favor of a precise arrangement of works that unfold meaning through their sequence—what Gottfried Boehm described as a “meaning that comes toward the viewer.”

The exhibition brings together influential positions from Scheibitz’s early artistic environment around 1989 with contemporary artists connected to his work as a professor at the Düsseldorf Art Academy. These are complemented by selected historical works from his own collection. The result is a collage-like structure which, in the sense articulated by Heiner Müller, becomes a way of constructing an image about the image in the 21st century.

The title of the exhibition is borrowed from a line in the song “Halb Voll” by Yaneq. It points to a relationship between part and whole: air as an immaterial element becomes the condition for the storm—just as individual artistic positions generate a larger dynamic when brought together.

Opening: April 17, 2026, 7–11 PM
Exhibition dates: April 18 – May 10, 2026
Location: SCHAU FENSTER, Lobeckstraße 30–35, 10969 Berlin
Hours: Saturdays 3–6 PM and by appointment

The exhibition offers a focused insight into current discourses in painting and image production, while reflecting on historical continuities and personal networks within contemporary art.

Mauricio Limón: Museo Jumex

Mauricio Limón in Museo Jumex Mexico

The Museo Jumex presents Football & Art. A Shared Emotion, on view from 28 March to 26 July 2026, bringing together international artists who examine football as a global cultural and aesthetic phenomenon.

The exhibition explores the sport beyond its competitive dimension, positioning it as a system of images, rituals, and collective experiences that shape identities across regions and social contexts. Through a wide range of media—including installation, video, painting, and archival material—the show addresses themes such as mass emotion, spectacle, memory, and the politics embedded in the game.

Among the participating artists is Mauricio Limón de León, whose work investigates the body as a site of inscription and control. His contribution reflects on the football field as a choreographed space, where gestures, uniforms, and collective movement reveal underlying social and symbolic structures. In this context, his practice aligns with the exhibition’s broader inquiry into how individual identity is negotiated within systems of mass participation.

Football & Art. A Shared Emotion is on view at Museo Jumex, located at Blvd. Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra 303, Col. Granada, 11520 Mexico City, Mexico.

Rachel Libeskind: Hilliard Art Museum

Rachel Libeskind at Hilliard Art Museum:  From March 7 – July 3, 2026

“If There Be Nothing New, But That Which Is” Rachel Libeskind

explores how we process mundane, everyday moments in an age of visual overload. Her work focuses on the quiet, overlooked experiences—like household chores or self-grooming—that we often perform on autopilot without conscious attention.

Through 

large-scale collage and printmaking, Libeskind deconstructs recognizable moments and reconstructs them into new visual frameworks, creating “new recollections” that bring visibility to these overlooked rhythms of daily life.

Key influences include:

  • Jacques Lacan’s theories on visual culture and unnoticed stretches of time
  • 20th-century artists such as Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, Barbara Kruger, and the Guerrilla Girls

The exhibition examines the limits of legibility and visibility within mundane moments, appropriating both contemporary and historical imagery to disrupt familiar narratives.

Künstlerhaus Bethanien: Rachel Libeskind.

On October 23, Rachel Libeskind’s exhibition IT’S JUST A MATTER OF ATTITUDE, the fourth chapter of the series Becoming B, opens at Künstlerhaus Bethanien.

The exhibition unfolds in the tension between origin and reinvention—themes that also accompany the house’s institutional transformation. Libeskind examines how identity, history, and gender are constructed through visual, linguistic, and cultural codes. In her new works, she combines photographs from 1980s American hairdressing catalogs with propaganda slogans from the early 20th century, thus revealing the subtle mechanisms of social norming. Supplemented by large-scale collages, text, and sound works, the artist creates a multifaceted web of image, sound, and meaning that brings questions of representation, visibility, and transformation to the forefront.

Jason Duval Screening at Black Rock Arts, Buffalo

Jason Duval will present his film A Few Minutes with the Chinatown Basketball Club as part of the program Public Joy! And Other Feelings! at Black Rock Arts in Buffalo.

The hour-long screening brings together a selection of experimental films that approach the idea of the urban portrait from multiple perspectives. The program is organized in the context of the exhibition I Love My City, featuring photographs by Rachele Schneekloth and curated by Dorota Kołodziejczyk and the Black Rock Arts team.

Originally shown in a different version at Governors Island in New York, the Buffalo iteration expands the program with two rarely screened works by Andrew Ferullo, adding a local dimension to the selection. All films are drawn from the archive of The Film-Makers’ Cooperative, situating the program within a broader history of experimental cinema.

Date: Dec. 7th 2025

Location: Black Rock Arts, Buffalo

Admission: Free screening

Philara Collection: Paul Hance

Philara Collection presents “Melting Sands” with works with Paul Hance.

18 October 2025 – 25 January 2026

To mark the 150th anniversary of the former Lennarz Glassworks—whose converted factory has housed the Philara Collection since 2016—the exhibition Melting Sands explores glass as one of the most paradoxical and transformative materials in contemporary art. Bringing together international artists such as Gabriele Beveridge, Narges Mohammadi, Jeremy Shaw, Slavs and Tatars and Paul Hance, the show reflects on how structure and chaos, light and opacity, fragility and permanence coexist within this medium.

Glass, long seen as a metaphor for transparency and utopia, is revisited here as a substance of instability and metamorphosis—an amorphous solid in constant potential for change. The works on view question what can be learned from glass today: its reflective, connective, and collective properties, and its role in a world that blurs boundaries between material and immaterial.

Within this dialogue, Paul Hance presents works that investigate the fluid, cyclical nature of perception and life. His Rasaseries employs Bohemian glass and silver leaf to create reflective surfaces that capture transient, fragmented images—moments of self-perception in motion. In Investigating the Mystery of the Moon, a Parisian cast-iron tree grate frames a pink-gold disc of hand-blown glass, linking urban memory, material alchemy, and the enduring mystery of transformation .

Driftless by Felipe Castelblanco in Oldenburg

Driftless by Felipe Castelblanco Pulverturm, Oldenburg

Sept 6– Dec. 14 , 2025

We are pleased to announce that Felipe Castelblanco’s video installation Driftless is currently on view at Haus der Medienkunst, Oldenburg, presented in the atmospheric setting of the Pulverturm.

On view from Sept 6 to December 14, 2025, Driftless is a three-channel video work that explores the ocean as a radical and unbounded public space. Developed over seven years of performative journeys across bodies of water in Colombia, North America, Europe, and beyond, the work reflects on movement, migration, and the porous nature of political and physical boundaries.

Emerging from Castelblanco’s experience on Colombia’s Pacific coast—where he once purchased a piece of land that was later claimed by the ocean—Driftless transforms personal history into poetic reflection. The piece engages with water as space, nationhood as confinement, and seafaring as both resistance and aesthetic practice.

Set within the circular architecture of the Pulverturm, the immersive installation invites viewers to enter a meditative drift—between continents, concepts, and currents.

Asef/Burckhardt Review at TZK

Asef/Burckhardt exhibition at MOS, reviewed at TZK

Sabeth Buchmann’s insightful review “Matter and Message”, published by Texte zur Kunst, examines how artists Mario Asef and Kirstin Burckhardt critically and poetically revisit the legacy of Anna and Lawrence Halprin. Through archival research, performance, and sculptural installations, both artists reimagine the Halprins’ utopian ideals of collective creativity, ecology, and diversity—while exposing their transformation under neoliberalism.
