One more weekend to immerse yourself in the universe of Lee Ranaldo, co-founder of the legendary New York rock band Sonic Youth.
What once began in the unruly sound of guitars finds its echo here in color, line, and movement.
Ranaldo is more than a musician: he is a draftsman, writer, performer, and sound artist. His work pulses with the same energy, rhythm, and curious drive that permeate his music — a continuous search for resonance and meaning.
The exhibition showcases recent works from his iconic Lost Highways series, new Summer Landscapes, and the poetic Corona Flowers.
Between image and sound unfolds a dialogue of experimental film fragments and an original soundtrack that brings the whole to life.
A rare opportunity to experience Ranaldo's visual world — where rock history and contemporary art meet.
Finissage – join us in celebrating the finale of this extraordinary exhibition
Friday 28 November 2025: Vernissage 6 PM - 9 PM
The world of Merel Jansen (°1990, NL) smells of turpentine and oil paint. It is filled with color, form, and movement.
For Merel, color is more than a means: it is reality itself. In her synesthetic experience, numbers, people, and memories all carry their own color. These colors meet — sometimes in collision, sometimes in harmony. A form determines what a color can be; a color reveals what a form means. Thus, a painting emerges that does not depict a world but creates a new one: a space full of intensity and resonance.
You are warmly welcome, time and again
