Christophe Guye Galerie presents an exhibition of works by Swiss photographer Balthasar Burkhard (1944-2010, Switzerland) in Kabinet II of the gallery.Burkhard was an outstanding photographer who worked as both a documentary and artistic photographer from the 1960s onwards. After his training with Kurt Blum and his first commissions - for example as a documentary photographer for the Kunsthalle Bern under Harald Szeemann - he developed pioneering works such as the ‘Photocanvases’, in which photographs were exposed directly onto canvases. His work, which moves between photography, sculpture, object and painting, is characterised by clear, reduced black and white pictures.

Bernheim Gallery is pleased to present Mortal Thoughts, a group show that brings together the practices of four artists: Nutsa Gogaladze, Ant Łakomsk, Travis MacDonald, and Rico Weber. The exhibition explores the lingering traces of absence and presence that remain as echoes of past experiences or as conjured fragments from the unknown. Working at the intersection of abstraction and figuration, the exhibition continuously hints at a fragment of memory that remains hidden, never fully unveiled. Through abstraction, obscured figures, and the interplay of light and shadow, this theme unfolds literally in the paintings of Łakomsk and MacDonald, where hazy figures emerge through painterly brushstrokes, as well as more conceptually through the works of Gogaladze and Weber, which explore how memory materialises within spatial constructs.

Galerie Eva Presenhuber presents the group show Wall Works & Sculptures, showcasing works by Walead Beshty, Angela Bulloch, Sylvie Fleury, Liam Gillick, Douglas Gordon, John Giorno, Adam Pendleton, Gerwald Rockenschaub, Ugo Rondinone, and Steven Shearer.

The photographs in this exhibition were sourced from the artist’s extensive collection of found online images depicting individuals asleep. These photographs date back to the early days of the internet when platforms like Picasa, Blogger, and Photobucket played a key role in the hosting and sharing of images. None of these photographs can be found online today, nor can they be reverse image searched. While they may still exist on personal servers or digital cameras, their public-facing presence has, in most cases, vanished from the world.

"When I paint I do not think of structure or theme; what I seek is a certain 'flavour' – a rhythm of spirit and energy, so that the soul drifts in the painting, like a shadow of the mind. Everything is flat and calm. 'Form' is unimportant."— Qiu Shihua
