Through the Threads: Crochet Portraits — Chad Turner

American artist Chad Turner presents photorealistic portraits executed in freeform crochet. Working with a single hook and diverse threads, Turner translates sources — old photographs, paintings, AI-generated images and family memories — into textile surfaces that range from intimate panels to works exceeding a square metre. The exhibition highlights his labour-intensive process and technical solutions for rendering subtle chromatic contrasts, revealing how fibre, texture and colour combine to produce uncanny, tactile likenesses.

Opening: 28 May 18:30

22 May – 27 June

German artist Jan Albers (born 1971) develops a practice between painting, sculpture and architecture. His works often take the form of reliefs built through accumulation: assembled, layered and compressed surfaces of wood, metal, polystyrene, ceramic and polymer plaster that evoke fragments of architecture, models or landscapes. These reliefs oscillate between saturation and erasure, balance and collapse, revealing their complexity only through a slow, attentive gaze.

Opening: Thursday 21 May, 18:00

7 May – 10 July

Yvan Salomone presents a series of recent watercolours that transform anonymous buildings and soulless industrial sites into evocative landscapes. Through delicate, velvety tones, subtle colour modulations and watery traces that suggest life, the artist elevates banal subjects and transfigures objective reality. The exhibition’s title, 2611, alludes to Salomone’s practice of assigning eleven‑letter titles composed from the alphabet, producing names that detach the work from literal description and invite poetic reading.

Opening: Thursday 7 May , 16:00

28 April – 5 July

Artist Jessica Decorvet investigates the landscape as an unstable concept where seeing implicates participation and representation transforms the world. The exhibition brings together drawings, textiles, ceramics and living plants to stage tensions between intense, almost vital wonder and cultural framing that distances the living.
Playing with scale from miniature objects to a monumental curtain, Decorvet unsettles assumptions: textiles become stained glass while ceramics verge on reliquary. The works evoke and question how perception and materiality shape our relation to place.

Opening: Tuesday 28 April, 18:00

20 – 31 May

Svitlana Anoshkina and Sergo Verbicki present a dialogical exhibition reflecting on proximity, distance and divergent life trajectories. Anoshkina’s sensitive, luminous paintings, shaped by exile and movement between Kyiv and Warsaw, emphasize light, color and interior states.

Verbicki’s ceramic pieces are raw, material-driven explorations of tension, fracture and transformation, evoking anchoring and memory. Without unifying their languages, the works respond through contrast—fragility and density, color and matter—asking what sustains shared ways of inhabiting the world when separated.

Opening: Wednesday 20 May, 18:00

8 May – 27 September

Vladimir Kartashov presents site-specific installations that unfold across historic island spaces, exploring temporal sequences and memory. Through sculptural interventions, architectural adaptations and subtle interventions in sacred interiors, the artist stages a choreography of objects and light that reconfigures perception of place and time. The series juxtaposes material rigor with ephemeral gestures, inviting reflection on duration, ritual and the layered histories embedded in built environments.

7 May – 10 January

This exhibition assembles objects old and new, from video games and pop culture gadgets to robots like the Omnibot 2000, Daruma statuettes and various oracles. Presented as a cabinet of curiosities, it probes beliefs, technological imaginaries and our relationship to progress. The displays offer strategies for dialoguing with the future, showcase artistic works imagining desirable futures and explore possible developments conceived locally. Content is aimed at ages 8 to 108.
