Press release

The gallery exhibition unfolds through a range of formal approaches. Motifs appear across sites of familiarity; urban spatial registers are reconfigured as zones of circulation or encounter. In this way, connection is not only the subject here, but also the method: it shapes how the works are made, presented, and received.

In 2026, these questions resonate within an increasingly complex socio-political landscape. Yet rather than centering rupture alone, the exhibition insists on generative potential: on the capacity of artistic practices to produce, sustain, and transform relations. Artists create spaces of encounter, cultivate dialogue, and develop modes of collaboration that exceed established framework, contributing to a cultural fabric in which empathy, curiosity, and shared experience remain operative forces.

kinship II can be understood as both continuation and an expansion. It is, ultimately, a proposition: an open constellation that invites collectors, audiences, and participants alike to trace connections, form their own associations, and become part of the network it sets in motion.
