Retinal Rivalry
May 3–July 26, 2025

Berlin

Cyprien Gaillard’s new stereoscopic film, Retinal Rivalry (2024), is an entrancing journey through Germany’s urban landscape and its layers of historical and social significance. A decade after the premiere of Nightlife in 2015, Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers are honoured to present the German debut of Gaillard’s major new film installation during Gallery Weekend Berlin. Building on his previous exploration of the sculptural qualities of three-dimensional moving images, the work extends beyond the confines of the screen. By harnessing cutting-edge technology to its full potential, Gaillard offers an expanded, sharpened and deeply affecting novel view of the world around us. The solo show shares its title with the film and is completed by new wall sculptures.
Michail Pirgelis – Seven Springs – Berlin

Seven Springs
May 3–July 26, 2025

Berlin

Seven Springs presents a new group of wall and floor sculptures by Michail Pirgelis that feature stripes and other flag-like elements. Together with wallpaper installations – a recent extension of the artist’s practice – they highlight Pirgelis’ relentless synthesis of painting, sculpture and environment. Drawn from disused remnants of the airline industry, the works of Pirgelis both reinvigorate and challenge the conventions of post-minimalism, the readymade and conceptual art.

London

In his poem “Vereinsamt” (1884), Friedrich Nietzsche portrays a bleak winter landscape that can be read as a symbol of existential loneliness and metaphysical longing. The crows caw, the snow looms ominously, and man, feeling uprooted, remains isolated within himself. It is this Symbolist atmosphere that characterises the exhibition Songs before Sunrise at Sprüth Magers’ London gallery. The artists gathered here explore the tension between inner imagination, historical awareness, and the inescapability of our personal perspective on the world. The exhibition brings together works by Oliver Bak, Eugène Carrière, Guglielmo Castelli, Enzo Cucchi, Enrico David, Leonor Fini, Anne Imhof, Alexej von Jawlensky, Conny Maier, Rosemarie Trockel and Andro Wekua. Their works interweave past and present in a dreamlike visual language in which the boundaries between reality and imagination are dissolved.
