🎞️ Willie Doherty in the 9th Triennial of Photography Hamburg BUT I | WORLD | I SEE | YOU,
📍 5 June - 4 October 2026

As part of the larger context of the 9th Triennial of Photography Hamburg 2026, the exhibition BUT I | WORLD | I SEE | YOU will present works by more than 40 international transgenerational artists. The opening chapter deciphers (sepulchral) landscapes and culture of obsolescence imbued with historical memories and informed by personal experience, myth, and ideology, or how significance affects the images’ overall latent meanings.

First shown to critical acclaim at dOCUMENTA 13, Willie Doherty’s ’Secretion’ is a site-specific film installation which draws on the possibilities of lost and forgotten narratives located somewhere between recent history and a near future. Shot on location in and around Kassel, Germany, the powerful narrative at times presents echoes of Doherty’s previous work ‘Ghost Story’ 2007, pulling personal histories and experience to the foreground of the Kassel landscape. This same landscape served as the backdrop of much of the folklore collected by the Brothers Grimm while they lived and worked in Kassel.

❤️ Liliane Tomasko in Donated with Love
📍 Albertina Klosterneuburg

The 250th anniversary of the ALBERTINA Museum also stands at the center of their new presentation in Klosterneuburg. It is an occasion to look back with gratitude upon generous donations and address collecting as a task for the future. This exhibition shows a curated cross-section of the diverse works recently donated to the museum and is conceived as a big thank-you to the artists and supporters who have contributed to the contemporary art collection’s expansion.

When it comes to augmenting the museum’s collection, closing programmatic gaps, placing new accents, and staying abreast of current developments, donations are indispensable. The exhibition ‘Donated with Love’ lends visibility to recent new acquisitions, showing a selection of large workgroups by Sean Scully as well as individual works by Liliane Tomasko.

On view until 15 November 2026 at the Albertina Klosterneuburg

Final day of ✨

Over the past 30 years Callum Innes has refined one of the most distinctive approaches to abstract painting. Through a process of applying and dissolving paint his work carries a powerful tension between control and fluidity, revealing the many layers of nuance that lie beneath the surface. In ‘Untitled Cobalt Blue Light’ Innes has dissolved or washed away all but the very edge of the painted surface, redacting almost all that has gone into its making.

The result is painting with no discernible form or structure but instead, an immeasurable depth and a quiet forceful gravitational pull. Innes’s new paintings offer an alternative space, one filled with suggestive shadows and floating worlds.

Hazel O’Sullivan at ✨

Hazel O’Sullivan is a multi-disciplinary artist examining visual discourse from Irish culture. Her work imagines a combination of ancient and future narratives as artefacts, devices and mythological architecture through a retro-futuristic lens. O’Sullivan explores the symbolic and mythological resonance of ancient artefacts, challenging histories of imperial extraction and reimagining them as both historical objects and new, contemporary forms.

Presenting Dorothy Cross at ✨

The breathtaking beauty, subtly and craft that is the hallmark of Dorothy Cross’s practice comes to the fore in ‘Pillow’.

‘Pillow’ presents a hand-carved marble pillow resting in quiet stillness, its surface soft in appearance but its form is solid, an ancient stone with the telling grain of geological time. From its center emerges an ear, delicately formed, as though the object itself is listening, a place of rest and dreams, is transformed into something alert, almost sentient.

💥 Mark Francis, Sea of Sound
📍Pavilion of the San Marino Republic at the 61st Venice Biennale

‘Sea of Sound’ will present a new body of work by the artist, who has long explored the physical and poetic relationships between art, sound, and science.

Since the 1990s, Mark Francis has developed a body of work primarily focused on abstract painting – an emotional and sonic experience that translates into artworks evoking auditory sensations through visual representation, in a synesthetic and multisensory dimension.

The title of the Pavilion, ‘Sea of Sound’, alludes to the vast ocean of sounds and frequencies that surround us and to our capacity to perceive, select, and transform them into personal experiences, filtered through emotion. The Pavilion will unfold across two rooms: in the entrance space, a projection titled Listening Field will immerse visitors in the artist’s world of images; in the second room, a focused selection of large-scale, previously unseen oil paintings on canvas and aluminum will allow viewers to explore his research in depth.

‘Sea of Sound’ by Mark Francis is curated by Luca Tommasi. The Pavilion is designed and produced by FR Istituto d’Arte Contemporanea S.p.a.
