Senzeni Marasela at the 61st Venice Biennale, In Minor Keys. ✦

Seven large-scale textile works suspended through the full height of the Arsenale — red wool hand-stitched onto tjali, mixed-fabric ceremonial blankets. Each title names a South African mining disaster: location, year, lives lost. The stitch patterns trace the slopes of collapsed mines. Cloth as cartography. Waiting made monumental.

We are so glad she is here.

📍 On view through 22 November 2026.

Georgina Maxim at the 61st Venice Biennale, In Minor Keys. ✦

Cloth cut, layered, and rebuilt stitch by stitch through dhungemutunge — the Shona mending technique that closes what is torn. In the Arsenale, her work fills the space quietly and completely. Inherited garments becoming an archive of memory, presence, and searching.

We couldn't be prouder to see Georgina's work in Venice. It holds the room — and holds so much more.

'The work CHORUS is a multi-paneled work where layering became both process and metaphor. Across the panels, I combined organic surfaces and fragments of culture, exploring how images carry memory, time and intention. The work invites viewers to reflect on what stays, what fades and how we all experience the world through layers that shape our perception.' - Henri Haake

CHORUS is part of the current group exhibition Hyperacuity at BODE in Berlin.

THE ARTISTS ARE PRESENT & SCREENING OF SOLARIS | Saturday, 11 April, from 3 pm

We warmly invite you to Karl-Marx-Allee and look forward to exploring the exhibition together with you and the artists. Following the afternoon in the presence of the exhibiting artists, the program of Janos Bergob’s and Tim Vormbäumen’s VHS video installation All the World Will Be Your Enemy will be switched, and from 5:30 PM Solaris will be screened.

Kay Lotte Pommer paints in, on, and with metal and glass. Delicate figures cut through wall pieces made of steel, metal, and glass, while fleetingly placed traces contrast in their fragile movement with the stability of their supporting materials. Pommer collects such traces in everyday life. She reads the city as a legible network of surfaces, materials, and objects in which actions and time inscribe themselves. The works shown in the exhibition examine, through this urban archive, the production of signs in urban space. Signs as clues, remnants, and visual traces, but also in the metaphysical, imperative sense that instructs, directs, or prohibits actions.

The Artists are Present: 11 April, 3 – 5 pm
Solaris Screeening: 11 April, 5:30 pm

SIMAY KELES

Simay Keles‘ work moves between figuration and abstraction, depending on the series she is working on. The exhibition features works from her recent series Sunset Express Tours & Travels, which comprises two-layered mixed media paintings that are dedicated to those who have left their places of birth or long to leave for various reasons. She applies a sculptural approach to the canvas, as the spatial displacements resulting from the two layers create visual confusion, optical illusions and an unconventional perception of spaces. 

In a concept attempting to be as open as possible, we invited artists to show their work and present their practice without having set a curatorial framework, or requirements in terms of content, material or media. A snapshot of the present, mapping parallel paths and opposite outlooks, searching for uniting factors where none were prescribed.
