This is the final week to view Ryan Cullen’s exhibition Recognitions closing this Saturday, May 2, 2026.
“This exhibition presents the contradictions between the logic of apocalyptic thinking and the end of history.
The titles, like the works themselves, move through different systems of bygone knowledge: Economics, Politics, Psychology and History.
In this way, images circulate here almost like a symbolic currency within a global system of history, capital and ideology. And akin to Gaddis, the central question persists. Not: What is an image? But: From where does an image receive meaning?
His works therefore move constantly between six poles: image and system, reference and construction, history and its repetition. It is within this tension, between recognition and circulation that this exhibition unfolds.”

#ListeGalleries Kin, Brussels @kinbrussels presents Dan Vogt @dan.vogt
This year, Kin is presenting a solo booth of new work by Canadian artist Dan Vogt. Across sculptural formats, Vogt’s work reflects on the figure of the soldier and the nuclear family as enduring “stock characters” shaped by postwar imaginaries and cinema. Moving between representation and fiction, these statues act as almost fill-in-the-blank sculptures — imagery that stands in for socio-political ideology, norms and narratives. The work examines the shared structures of disciplines, responsibility, authority, and play that organise both military and familial frameworks, imagining how these overlapping systems persist within contemporary cultural reality.

Shaun Motsi, Masters, 2023
Screening at @neuerberlinerkunstverein
Thursday, April 16, 7 pm
Free admission
Masters (38 min) by Shaun Motsi is a speculative short film that explores the production and dissemination of knowledge in online formats situated between education and entertainment. The film brings together multigenerational, Black diasporic characters navigating the institutionalization of Black perspectives within the cultural and media mainstream. It examines the emerging format of online edutainment and how established practices of knowledge production and dissemination often perpetuate racist hierarchies.
In his interdisciplinary practice spanning installation, sculpture, video, drawing, and painting, artist Shaun Motsi explores the historical connections and entanglements that shape how images circulate and how the gaze is trained and manipulated. In his new multipart series Spectacles (2025/2026), presented as a site-specific installation at n.b.k. in the group exhibition Memory Is a Strange Bell (March 14–May 3, 2026), Motsi draws on the historical practice of exhibiting racialized bodies and examines how this legacy might shape contemporary ways of seeing.

Today is the last day of @yaldaafsah exhibition at @ccaberlin .
On the occasion, Yalda will be in conversation with the CCA Berlin’s director Fabian Schöneich at 3 pm.
The conversation will take place in the exhibition space.
“Yalda Afsah’s film PAN (2026) begins in the dark. A small figure moves through the night, soon joined by others. Flickering lights meet along an ascending path. Up on the hill, people look to the sky, quietly waiting. A raw red sun signals dawn. This mesmerizing sequence opens Afsah’s exploration of the Bulgarian spiritual practice of Paneurhythmy, marking the second opus in the German-Iranian artist and filmmaker’s new series of works attending to folk traditions and their ritualistic choreography. Following her charged portrait of the Jarramplas festival in the Spanish town of Piornal—where crowds hurl turnips at a figure never shown in the film—PAN turns its attention to the spiritual devotion and performative synchronicity of an assembly, with no less ambivalence or suspense.” — Nan Xi
