As a hosting gallery we’re showing our beloved artists Karolina Szwed, Inga Wójcik with a guest appearance by Tomasz Mróz, a sculptor represented by Monopol.

Courtney Jaeger brings together two German artists, Matthias Holznagel and Clara Rotermund.

Holznagel’s practice centers on the assembling of changing images across different media and forms, developing elements that range from situational interventions to planar forms.

For this exhibition, he presents a site-specific installation alongside a four-parted drawing.

Rotermund’s paintings primarily take the form of self-portraits, in which the figure operates as a doppelgänger of the artist.

Her work engages with the misconception that painting functions as a direct expression of personal emotion, instead addressing her relationship to image-making itself, an engagement that remains inherently personal.

At the same time, the portraits articulate a tension between the painting’s desire to be seen and her position as a woman painter. For the exhibition, she presents two paintings.

From 18, Murata, the presentation introduces Shiho Saito and Miki Morioka.

Saito produces paintings using acrylic and silkscreen on Japanese washi paper (in this case, also on shells), and situates them within everyday motifs such as shelves, wallpaper, and tables.

Through these placements, her work renders visible the contingencies and relationships that emerge when artworks inhabit private spaces, while questioning how images appear and are reinterpreted within their environments.

Morioka, by contrast, focuses on bodily perception and memory as shaped within environments such as religious institutions and educational settings, developing installations grounded in the floor as a fundamental condition of space.

Her work shifts the center of perception in viewing, prompting a reconsideration of how images are experienced through the body.

As painting and flooring, exhibition and everyday life intersect, the works are not only encountered on walls but are discovered through the viewer’s movement, at times returning our gaze from the ground.

Within the framework of Constellations, this exhibition also serves as a site where works and practices from different geographical and cultural contexts meet contingently.

Such encounters may give rise to unexpected resonances and new relationships for both the artists and the works themselves.

As the title Constellations suggests, these connections might be understood as points that, though distant and distinct, come together to form a single image when linked.
