Aleana Egan at Art Basel ✨

In Aleana Egan’s work, traces of psychological states and experience are harvested and expressed through material objects, colour, and form, blending fragmented interior visions with observations from the world at large. Her practice is shaped by her deep engagement with works of literature and cinema: never opting for direct representation, she uses this source material as an entryway, absorbing the moods and tones it evokes. Egan engenders psychological states and memories through enigmatic arrangements of objects and forms. Egan’s forms and shapes act as traces or shifting responses, tentative articulations of remembered places or everyday moments. A meandering, sensuous line and sense of fluidity is carried from her sculptures into her film and painting, giving form to a sense of flux, openness and mutability.

⚫️ Siobhán Hapaska, The Weight of Nothingness
🔘 now open!

‘The Weight of Nothingness’ is an exhibition of new sculpture and photography by Siobhán Hapaska that explores absence as a material and as a psychological condition.

Included in the exhibition is a new series of wall-mounted sculptures meticulously constructed from twisted concrete cloth with resin and Jesmonite. Concrete cloth — a material associated with reinforcement and containment — is manipulated by Hapaska into forms that appear bodily. Each work has its own glass like forms escaping from the folds or growing on its surface, some red, like enlarged blood platelets, others black, each a dark lens into another infinite universe.

‘The Weight of Nothingness’ continues until 11 July 2026

🪡 Ailbhe Ní Bhriain in the 9th Triennial of Photography Hamburg BUT I | WORLD | I SEE | YOU,
📍 5 June - 4 October 2026

As part of the larger context of the Triennial of Photography, the exhibition BUT I | WORLD | I SEE | YOU will present works by more than 40 international transgenerational artists. The opening chapter deciphers (sepulchral) landscapes and culture of obsolescence imbued with historical memories and informed by personal experience, myth, and ideology, or how significance affects the images’ overall latent meanings

Exhibited is ‘Interval IV’, a monumental Jacquard tapestry and the fourth work in Ailbhe Ní Bhriain’s acclaimed Interval series (2023–2025). Woven from silk, wool, cotton, and Lurex, the tapestry combines photography and collage to create a richly layered scene that is both precise and dreamlike. A Victorian era portrait—typically an emblem of industry, empire, and permanence—is disrupted by images of underground geological formations and fragments of contemporary ruins. These juxtapositions situate the scars of human ambition within the deep time of geology, a register that unsettles all notions of stability and endurance.

📸 Ailbhe Ní Bhriain, Interval IV 2025, jacquard tapestry, cotton, wool, silk, Lurex, edition of 3 + 2AP, 280 x 400 cm / 110.2 x 157.5 in

🎞️ Willie Doherty in the 9th Triennial of Photography Hamburg BUT I | WORLD | I SEE | YOU,
📍 5 June - 4 October 2026

As part of the larger context of the 9th Triennial of Photography Hamburg 2026, the exhibition BUT I | WORLD | I SEE | YOU will present works by more than 40 international transgenerational artists. The opening chapter deciphers (sepulchral) landscapes and culture of obsolescence imbued with historical memories and informed by personal experience, myth, and ideology, or how significance affects the images’ overall latent meanings.

First shown to critical acclaim at dOCUMENTA 13, Willie Doherty’s ’Secretion’ is a site-specific film installation which draws on the possibilities of lost and forgotten narratives located somewhere between recent history and a near future. Shot on location in and around Kassel, Germany, the powerful narrative at times presents echoes of Doherty’s previous work ‘Ghost Story’ 2007, pulling personal histories and experience to the foreground of the Kassel landscape. This same landscape served as the backdrop of much of the folklore collected by the Brothers Grimm while they lived and worked in Kassel.

❤️ Liliane Tomasko in Donated with Love
📍 Albertina Klosterneuburg

The 250th anniversary of the ALBERTINA Museum also stands at the center of their new presentation in Klosterneuburg. It is an occasion to look back with gratitude upon generous donations and address collecting as a task for the future. This exhibition shows a curated cross-section of the diverse works recently donated to the museum and is conceived as a big thank-you to the artists and supporters who have contributed to the contemporary art collection’s expansion.

When it comes to augmenting the museum’s collection, closing programmatic gaps, placing new accents, and staying abreast of current developments, donations are indispensable. The exhibition ‘Donated with Love’ lends visibility to recent new acquisitions, showing a selection of large workgroups by Sean Scully as well as individual works by Liliane Tomasko.

On view until 15 November 2026 at the Albertina Klosterneuburg

Final day of ✨

Over the past 30 years Callum Innes has refined one of the most distinctive approaches to abstract painting. Through a process of applying and dissolving paint his work carries a powerful tension between control and fluidity, revealing the many layers of nuance that lie beneath the surface. In ‘Untitled Cobalt Blue Light’ Innes has dissolved or washed away all but the very edge of the painted surface, redacting almost all that has gone into its making.

The result is painting with no discernible form or structure but instead, an immeasurable depth and a quiet forceful gravitational pull. Innes’s new paintings offer an alternative space, one filled with suggestive shadows and floating worlds.

Don’t miss the last chance to see Dorothy Cross, Callum Innes & Hazel O’Sullivan 💥
