Hybrid Balance

Under the title “Carved Light” two artistic approaches, that are linked both biographically and formally come together. Barbara Posch and Florian Donnerstag are from the region in Austria where the exhibition space KUBIQ is situated. They met later in Munich and have now developed a joint exhibition at a venue whose history has played a key role in shaping the concept. The former district court, whose spaces have been gradually transformed into a cultural and educational quarter since 2023, does not serve as a neutral “white cube.” The architecture, particularly the former prison cells, forms the backdrop for new works created specifically for this context.

Speculative Realities and Poetic Particles

The exhibition “Seeing the Unseen” at the ERES Foundation in Munich combines strategies of contemporary art with current quantum physics and seeks to highlight structural parallels between the disciplines. In fact, in both fields, the observer is not neutral but rather a constitutive part of the system. The art on display reflects, through its complexity, the multidimensional nature of quantum physics, thus becoming a space of resonance for a science that largely eludes intuitive imagination.

Iconic identities

In the temporary exhibition space of the Sammlung Goetz in downtown Munich, Cindy Sherman’s multifaceted body of work coalesces into a precise exploration of role models, clichés, and self-presentation. In a present-day world permeated by rapidly circulating images and constant self-presentation on social media, Sherman’s photographs seem more relevant than ever. The artist conceives of identity as something one can adopt, alter, and discard. In doing so, she always retains complete autonomy over her performative self-presentation and the images she creates of herself.

An institution as a readymade

With “Shifts”, Iris Touliatou transforms the Kunstverein München into a space for institutional self-reflection. Her exhibition explores the infrastructures and interdependencies that enable and condition cultural production. With precision and subtlety, Touliatou demonstrates how art becomes a means of reflecting on work, the public sphere and one’s own entanglements. This solo exhibition is the artist’s most comprehensive to date in Germany.
