Moss Finger Liquid Soil Dripping Seeds Prodding Eye 21 May - 25 Jul 2026 Moss Finger Liquid Soil Dripping Seeds Prodding Eye is the second solo exhibition by Sarah Pichlkostner at the gallery. Pichlkostner creates sculptures and environments that investigate invisible processes: the transmission of energy, the passage of time, and our psychological responses to materials and objects. Through a deep study of the behaviour of materials, her work reflects on the social life of objects and the way they shape, and are shaped by, human experience.
The exhibition examines the possibility of an empathic encounter between our dysfunctional Anthropocene time and ecological responsibility. At its heart is a tension the artist describes as "the spatial disconnection between the world one lives in and the world one lives off." The eye and the finger serve as its central figures: symbols of perception and touch, and a model for seeing, approaching and understanding that refuses to escape individual responsibility. These forms are deliberately unstable, shifting in response to the viewer's movement or dissolving through their own material nature, questioning and being questioned in their power, autonomy, and state of in-betweenness.

Face to Face 21 May - 25 Jul 2026 Face to Face features works by Ed van der Elsken, bringing together photographs from Paris, Amsterdam, and Japan. Ed van der Elsken is known for his direct and confrontational approach to photography. Without distance or embellishment, he captured what he encountered around him. In his photographs, the viewer often feels almost physically present — as if standing in the photographer’s place, being looked at directly by the people Ed met.
From the very beginning, Van der Elsken worked from his own life and experiences. His photography was intuitive, personal, and deeply connected to the world in which he moved. His first book, Love on the Left Bank (1956), was unique for its time: a photographic novel about the harsh post-war life in Paris, where Ed lived between 1949 and 1955. Read more
