The exhibition centers on Belgian artist Jef Geys, who taught the subject 'Positive Aesthetics' from 1960 to 1989 and conceived art as a collective, social learning process.

Oppermann
until April 18th, 2026
In the exhibition, all three artists transfer the (work-) body across different systems, the work thereby becomes an open interim state of archiving, remembering and self-interrogation. Their work process can be understood as the development of a new syntax, a grammar that responds to (new) media-structural conditions. These are anticipated in the work of Anna Oppermann, reflected upon in the work of Tishan Hsu and taken as a natural given in the work of Loretta Fahrenholz. Syntax here does not imply a rational overview, but rather a form of dysphoria: a network of images that refuses immediate coherence.

Eat Pay Love
until March 7th, 2026
The exhibition Eat Pay Love transforms the gallery into a space where interaction, feedback, and decision-making can be experienced directly. Through a series of spatial interventions, it both enables and restricts forms of participation, shifting the roles between visitors and other actors.
The recent works by Tobias Hohn & Stanton Taylor take their cue from theories of learning developed in early behavioral psychology and cybernetics, where learning is understood less as a subjective phenomenon, and more as the product of predetermined environments and routine interactions. Applied across the exhibition, this logic treats the gallery’s architecture and infrastructure as active material rather than neutral support.
