The Best, The Rest, and The Unexpected Guests
Group Exhibition
Bechtler Stiftung, Uster
Through April 21, 2025

The Best, The Rest, and The Unexpected Guests, curated by the artist Lorenza Longhi, combines selected works from the collections of the Bechtler family with works by contemporary Swiss artists. The focus is on Longhi’s subjective view of the collections, whereby her artistic perspective reveals surprising references within the diverse selection of works. Looking back on the collecting activities of the Bechtler family, the exhibition includes key works from the 1960s to the present day and invites a fresh dialog by contrasting them with current positions.

Medardo Rosso. Inventing Modern Sculpture
Group Exhibition
Kunstmuseum Basel
Through August 10, 2025

Sculptor, photographer, and master of artful staging, rival to Auguste Rodin and role model for countless artists: Medardo Rosso (1858–1928) revolutionized sculpture around 1900. This comprehensive retrospective, organized in cooperation with mumok, Vienna, showcases nearly fifty of his bronze, plaster, and wax sculptures and hundreds of his photographs and drawings to trace the artist’s radical formal, material, and technical explorations. Rosso’s sculptures are anti-monumental and fundamentally human-scaled, walking a tightrope between presence and dissolution. Inspired by Rosso’s own display strategies, the exhibition includes work by more than fifty artists from the last hundred years whose concerns and approaches resonate with Rosso’s.

Pamela Rosenkranz
Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam
May 21–August 24, 2025

Artist Pamela Rosenkranz presents her first exhibition in the Netherlands at the Stedelijk Museum. Rosenkranz is internationally acclaimed for her immersive works that reflect on the relationship between the body, its physiology and rapidly changing environment. In Rosenkranz’s work, this environment is marked by advanced technology, late capitalism, and human-machine relations. Her work often consists of installations and readymade sculptures that frequently reference famous artworks or everyday objects such as Amazon packaging and water bottles.

(Un)real
Group Exhibition
Kunsten Museum of Modern Art Aalborg
Through October 19, 2025

Art is not just about objects or phenomena. Art also represents something – even when it does not depict something we can recognise. The exhibition (Un)real features interpretations by various artists of reality and of the notions we form in our encounter with works of art and reality. The fulcrum of the exhibition comprises Ai Weiwei’s gigantic trees rising from the marble floor. The bare trees are not just trees. They are fragments of numerous dead camphor trees gathered in southern China and combined to create a new reality. Maybe it is a critical representation of how a multitude of individual parts are forced together and subjected to a system that attempts to look natural, but is actually a huge, controlled illusion. An unreal reality.

Alien Blue
September 16, 2023–January 27, 2024
Berlin

An alluring and extramundane blue light emanates from the Window, Sprüth Magers’ Berlin storefront exhibition space that is sunken and high-ceilinged, allowing visitors to view displayed works from the street around the clock. The spectacular color or, to be precise, the wavelengths emitted by Pamela Rosenkranz’s Alien Blue Windows permeate the entire room and pour out of the building. Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers are pleased to announce a solo exhibition by the artist, showcasing five unique pieces from her enticing series alongside a selection of intricate kirigami works on paper.

Pamela Rosenkranz
Healer
October 8–December 22, 2021
London

At her first solo exhibition at Sprüth Magers, London, Pamela Rosenkranz shows sensory and atmospheric works in which light, sound and color play an essential role. On the main floor, visible from outside through the large window front, as if in a terrarium, lives a robotic snake covered with kirigami scales. Shimmering paintings on mirrors and aluminum, painted with semi-transparent pale pink paint, reflect the green light projected from the ceiling. Flickering LED spotlights illuminate seemingly ephemeral objects resting on transparent pedestals. Materiality and message merge. In her oeuvre, Rosenkranz questions the certainties of authentic human experience, perceiving people as permeable membranes at the interface between nature and artificiality. Drawing on themes that we encounter in our everyday, visually overcharged lives, Rosenkranz creates links that allow us to make unexpected connections between objects and ideas, while at the same time unsettling us.

Berlin

She Has No Mouth is Pamela Rosenkranz’s inaugural solo exhibition at Sprüth Magers, Berlin, for which she has developed a new series of paintings and an installation with light, scent, and sound. The works continue her longstanding engagement with the biological and evolutionary underpinnings of art, her investigation of materiality and immateriality, pigments and pheromones, microbes, colors, and scents.

Dreaming Mirrors Dreaming Screens
Theodora Allen, Slater Bradley, Lucy Dodd, Lizzie Fitch / Ryan Trecartin, Andy Hope 1930, Oliver Laric, Pew Die Pie, Jon Rafman, Pamela Rosenkranz, Sara VanDerBeek, Stan VanDerBeek, Lesley Vance, Andro Wekua
curated by Johannes Fricke Waldthausen / GOODROOM
January 29–April 2, 2016
Berlin

Bringing together the practice of thirteen international artists, the exhibition Dreaming Mirrors Dreaming Screens appeals to the intuitive mind and creativity beyond referential thinking. Departing from the artists' production, it navigates through narratives in the realm of surrealist animation, abstraction and subjects of new materialism embracing the logic of the internet.
