paradoxical structures_system_mode | sébastien de ganay
Sébastien de Ganay deliberately locates his works between artistic genres and thus creates works that elude a clear categorization in image, relief, object or furniture and blur the boundaries between the genres. As an innovative representative of experimental painting and sculpture, de Ganay combines abstract, figurative & functional elements - often in rich colors - to activate the senses and challenge conformist behaviors. Evident is the incredible diversity in de Ganay's oeuvre, whose works are nevertheless linked to one another through common structures, systems, and modes, and through which the artist questions the boundaries between genres, traditions, categories, and classifications. -
inventing the past | group show
The international group exhibition inventing the past brings together works by Neïl Beloufa, Natacha Donzé, Lou Jaworski, Haroon Mirza and Keith Sonnier and raises questions of technological effects on human existence.
This point of departure presents us with a fictional narrative of the future, and by experimenting between time horizons, exposes the view of present systems and structures. Reflecting upon the current times, technological progress is put in relation to the high sensitivity of our natural environment.

ROMs | lou jaworski and michael venezia
The ROMs exhibition with artists Lou Jaworski (*1981 in Warsaw, Poland) and Michael Venezia (*1935 in Brooklyn, US) presents sculptures, paintings and works on paper that show, in a very individualistic way, the evident interest in material qualities and formal-processual reduction. In the dialogue between these two artistic positions, the rational balancing of compositional elements with and against each other becomes obvious. Beyond dealing with geometric abstraction and grids, the exploration of color by Michael Venezia or Lou Jaworski’s ferrite magnet, further identifies the physical independence of the materials as an essential facet of the conceptual basis of these works. -
