DISTURBANCE [group]
The group exhibition DISTURBANCE is on view through October 10, 2026. Thu-Sat, 3-7 pm, or by appointment.
What exactly is “nature” – and what internal and external images arise when we juggle with this term? The exhibition DISTURBANCE is dedicated to this elusive whole: nature as a space of existence that shelters us, yet does not belong to us. As a black box that defies any comprehensive human control or prediction. A (meta-)physical playground within which we navigate between connectedness and alienation.
DISTURBANCE looks beyond idyllic idealizations to explore the essential approaches, inner concepts, and manifold levels of meaning of “nature,” which are brought to light by art in a socially critical, pure, and disturbing manner.
Participating artists: Andrea Gallo, Betty Mü, Hira Khan, Hope Bartley, Jule Behrenswerth, Liza Mercedes, Marie Lynn Speckert, Nae Zerka, Oskar Rahe, Raphael Auer, Susannah Martin

Die Gruppenausstellung DISTURBANCE ist noch bis zum 10. Oktober 2026 zu sehen. Donnerstags bis samstags, 15–19 Uhr sowie nach Vereinbarung.
Was ist eigentlich „Natur“ – und welche inneren und äußeren Bilder entstehen, wenn wir mit diesem Terminus jonglieren? Die Ausstellung DISTURBANCE widmet sich dieser nicht abschließend greifbaren Gesamtheit: Natur als ein Existenzraum, der uns beherbergt, aber doch nicht gehört. Als eine Blackbox, die sich jeglicher vollumfänglichenmenschlichen Kontrolle oder Prognostik entzieht. Eine (meta-)physische Spielwiese, innerhalb derer wir uns zwischen Verbundenheit und Entfremdung bewegen.
DISTURBANCE sucht jenseits von idyllischen Verklärungen nach den essenziellen Zugängen, inneren Konzepten und mannigfaltigen Bedeutungsebenen von „Natur“, die gesellschaftskritisch, pur und størend von der Kunst zum Lichte geführt werden.

Paesaggio con figura,
2026, oil on canvas, 60 x 110 cm
Price or exposè on request
Andrea Gallo develops his paintings from intuitive impulses that continuously evolve throughout the creative process. Influenced by his engagement with architecture, stage design and visual communication, his works merge human figures and landscape into a shared pictorial space in which nature appears not as a backdrop, but as an active and unsettling force.
<br><br>
In Andrea Gallo’s paintings, the boundaries between the human figure and the natural environment begin to dissolve. Acidic colours and liquefying landscapes evoke a natural world altered by human intervention while simultaneously asserting its own force. The disturbance emerges from a relationship in which humanity and nature can no longer be separated.

Betty Mü
VORTEX / SEA, Artworkfilm, 2026, LCD monitor, 60 cm diameter, Edition of 2, 1/2
Price or exposè on request
Betty Mü works at the intersection of the digital and physical worlds, combining video art, light, glass, and augmented reality to create immersive visual spaces. At the heart of her practice lies perception itself: the moment when perspectives shift, stillness turns into movement, and observation becomes immersion
In VORTEX / SEA, the horizon loses its familiar function as a boundary and point of orientation, closing in on itself to form a circle. Sea and sky remain unchanged, yet our perception of the landscape is thrown off balance. The actual disturbance occurs not in nature, but in the way we perceive it.

Hira Khan is a Pakistani artist from Karachi who has been living and working in Munich since 2021. Her practice centres on experimental, material-based approaches to sculpture, using the different processes as the starting point for her artistic research. Khan’s thematic concerns are informed by feminist discourse, drawing parallels between personal movement and structures of migration and integration.
In this series, Hira Khan explores mating and reproduction in the animal kingdom through the interplay of intimacy, violence and female dominance. The honey bee, praying mantis and anglerfish transform the conversational-party game “Kill, Fuck, Marry” into an unsettling love story in which survival, possession and mating take the place of romantic ideals, and present the female in power: physically, sexually and symbolically.
