Jeehye Song
‘Tales of Traces, Stones and Moonlight’
Villa Romana and Kunsthalle Recklinghausen
Curated by Dr. Nico Anklam
June 5 - July 31, 2026

The exhibition is part of ‘Mutual Presence’, an exchange and cooperation project between Florence’s Villa Romana, IT and Kunsthalle Recklinghausen, DE. ‘Tales of Traces, Stones and Moonlight’ is the first part of this collaboration and exhibits the three recent recipients of Kunsthalle Recklinghausen’s Junger Westen Art Prize: Jeewi Lee, Mona Schulzek & Jeehye Song.

At first glance, none of the three artists appear to have a direct connection to German Romanticism or the so-called “longing for Italy” that has so strongly shaped Northern Europe since the late 18th century. Yet in their fascination with the poetic beauty of volcanic rocks and meteorites from space, their curiosity about air bubbles, sand, and waves, or their ability to capture on canvas the picturesque glow of the moon, which could just as easily be the light of a cell phone screen illuminating a face at night, it becomes clear that Lee, Schulzek, and Song are, in surprising ways, akin to the traveling artists of two hundred years ago.

We are pleased to share Karl Haendel’s latest catalogue, ‘Less Bad’, published by Akira, is available for purchase online.

‘Less Bad’ is a volume published to accompany Karl Haendel’s eponymous exhibition at the Kimball Art Center (2024), which later traveled to the Frederick R. Weisman Museum of Art at Pepperdine University (2025). The catalogue highlights key thematic elements from Haendel’s 25-year artistic output, focusing on his exploration of masculinity, tenderness, friendship, introspection, and vulnerability through drawing.

The book includes a complete set of installation images from the exhibition, plates highlighting essential works, and selected details of drawings. These stand at the heart of a special section of the book, which underlines through images Haendel’s approach, process, materials, and distinctive installation strategy.

The volume is enriched by an introduction by Aldy Milliken; a scholarly essay on Haendel’s work by Dr. Andrea Gyorody, contextualizing it within the recent trajectory of contemporary art; an illustrated essay by Hazel Haendel, the artist’s daughter; a conversation between the artist and Analia Saban; and brief creative contributions by artists Darren Bader, Karla Diaz, Michelle Jane Lee, and Ray Anthony Barrett.

‘Letters to a young painter’
May 1st - June 13th, 2026

Sophie von Hellermann’s ‘Letters to a young painter’ is the artist’s fourth solo exhibition with the gallery. Inspired by her ongoing engagement with the life and work of Rainer Maria Rilke, von Hellermann’s paintings and Rilke’s writing are united by their openness and ambiguity, both working with suggestions rather than clear statements. What emerges is a poetic, dreamlike effect that straddles reality and imagination.

Karl Haendel’s drawing “Armadillo” is displayed on a digital billboard above the legendary Whisky A Go Go nightclub on Sunset Boulevard.

The Whisky A Go Go is far more than just a music club—it is considered one of the most important birthplaces of rock music. Since it opened in 1964 on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, its stage has served as a launching pad for countless global stars. Many bands played their first legendary concerts there, long before they achieved international fame.

The club has a particularly close connection to The Doors: The band started at the house band there on May 23, 1966, exactly 60 years ago for a time until singer Jim Morrison was fired for his provocative performance—a moment that went down in rock history.

Van Halen also used the Whisky A Go Go as an early stage and won over the music industry there with their high-energy live show.

In the 1980s, the club became the center of the Los Angeles hard rock and metal scene. Guns N’ Roses played their wild early shows here and built their legendary reputation. Mötley Crüe, Metallica, and Slayer were also among the bands that took their first major steps at the Whisky A Go Go.

But it wasn’t just rock bands that shaped the club: Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Led Zeppelin, and The Who performed there, putting the Whisky on the global map. To this day, the club is considered a mecca for live music—a place where music history was and continues to be made.

‘Translating Traditions’
Kunstverein Reutlingen
May 10 - October 4, 2026

The dual exhibition ‘Translating Traditions’, featuring Desire Moheb-Zandi is now open at Kunstverein Reutlingen. Desire Moheb-Zandi, who creates monumental tapestries into which she incorporates unusual materials such as rubber hoses or dowels, explores tradition in an artistic and cultural sense, combining traditional weaving techniques from her childhood in Turkey with cutting-edge materials and motifs.

For the artist, the loom is a kind of analog computer into which she inputs a “code”, that is, a weaving pattern. This pattern is deliberately manipulated, creating visual effects (“bugs”) that connect old traditions with new approaches. In this way, Moheb-Zandi deliberately breaks down boundaries, between male and female, natural and industrial, historical and contemporary.  The artist has also created her first video work, ‘Birds Eye View’, on the occasion of this exhibition.

Karl Haendel
‘Meet four artists behind the public art you’ll see at L.A. Metro’s new D Line stations’
Los Angeles Times

Karl Haendel, who was one of the artists to be selected for the public art commission for the LA Metro’s new line, was interviewed by Iris Kwok for the LA Times, on the occasion of the D Line’s opening.

The artist talks about wanting to capture portraits of people’s hands to highlight craftsmanship and labor, providing insightful behind-the-scenes information on how his project came to be. ‘I’m of service to the community’ - Haendel talks about how he tried to take into consideration the Metro workers and transit riders and other community members who would see his work every day. The artist says he hopes his work makes ordinary moments like waiting for a train a little more interesting and sparks people’s curiosity about the neighborhood’s history.

Karl Haendel’s public art commission is on view at the Wilshire/Fairfax Metro station.
