Following his acclaimed installation in the Hungarian Pavilion at the 2024 Venice Biennale, we are now representing Márton Nemes and presenting his first solo exhibition in Germany for Various Others. His works operate at the intersection of painting, sculpture, and spatial installation, transcending media boundaries to unfold as an immersive Gesamtkunstwerk.

Viola Bittl, born in 1980, studied from 2004 to 2008 with Sean Scully in Munich and completed her studies as a master student of Christa Näher at the Städelschule Frankfurt. After an artist residency grant from the Hessian Cultural Foundation in New York (2017/2018), she was a fellow at the International Artists’ House Villa Concordia in Bamberg in 2024/2025. Bittl participated in the important survey exhibition Jetzt! Junge Malerei in Deutschland (2019/2020) held at the Kunstmuseen Bonn, Wiesbaden, Chemnitz, as well as the Deichtorhallen Hamburg. In 2024, the Städtisches Museum Emden presented an extensive solo exhibition of Viola Bittl’s work, accompanied by a catalogue. Since her first exhibition on Schellingstraße in 2024, Viola Bittl has been a regular artist in our gallery’s roster.

The current exhibition presents the results of her stay in Bamberg: six large-format paintings, two medium-sized paintings, as well as a few works on paper.

Günther Uecker was one of the most active, successful and beloved figures of the German post-war art scene. His name is inextricably linked with the legendary Zero group and his iconic nail reliefs are highly regarded worldwide. Most recently, in January 2025, Uecker’s 4 tenmeter-high stained glass windows “Lichtbogen” were installed at Schwerin Cathedral in his native region of Mecklenburg. Uecker’s multifaceted body of work also includes stage and set designs for opera and theatre. As part of Open Art 2025, we are presenting a comprehensive exhibition of Uecker’s set design sketches and costume figurines for Richard Wagner’s Lohengrin, created for the Bayreuth Festival between 1979 and 1982. Since the beginning of our gallery’s work 1977, we have enjoyed a close and friendly collaboration with Günther Uecker and, in addition to our own exhibitions, have organized numerous international presentations of his work.
