from January, 30th 2026 to January 2027: Elina Brotherus in “Plants and People“ @ Musée d’art de Nantes, France
Driven by a desire to renew the historic collaboration between their collections, the Musée d’arts de Nantes and the Frac Pays de la Loire are jointly organizing an exhibition that will take shape in both institutions.
Entitled “Plants and People,” the exhibition juxtaposes historical and contemporary works—photographs, drawings, sculptures, paintings—that explore the place of living things in our relationship with the world. Two complementary approaches are pursued: plants at the Musée d’arts de Nantes and animals at the Frac in Carquefou.

The exhibition VALÉRIE BELIN ‘Le songe des idoles’– the first show in our new gallery space in Düsseldorf Flingern – marks the launch of our new collaboration with one of the most preeminent contemporary artists on the French scene. It is also the first time in more than twenty years that the work of this outstanding exponent of contemporary photography has had a significant showing in Germany. With fourteen photographic works from the last twelve years this representative selection offers insights into the key aspects of the artist’s oeuvre.

In this new exhibition Roy Mordechay dovetails his pictorial world with the physical space, which has the structure and ambiance of a three-room bel étage flat in an historical building. The presentation evolves in three series of paintings that were created in the period from 2022 to 2026.
