What an incredible debut at Various Others. A huge thank you to Sexauer Gallery for being such a wonderful collaborator, and to our exhibiting artists — Luisa Baldhuber, Ornella Fieres, Alexander Iskin, and Louis Wessendorff — without whom this exhibition would not have been possible, and to Konstantina Grossmann for the talk.

We’re also very grateful to Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Süddeutsche Zeitung, Mucbook, and Weltkunst for the generous mention of BETWEEN IMAGE AND SPACE, and to the Various Others community for such a warm welcome.

We’re excited for the years ahead and for continuing to strengthen the international dialogue around Munich’s art scene. BETWEEN IMAGE AND SPACE remains on view at Behncke Gallery through 30 June.

Join us for the opening,
Friday 15 May, 6-9pm

Luisa Baldhuber, Ornella Fieres, Alexander Iskin and Louis Wessendorff explore the interplay between image and space. Baldhuber’s wall objects, made of glass and digital paintings, open up imaginary landscapes; Fieres’ work with artificial intelligence explores the AI´s perception of space; Iskin’s painted spaces make the unconscious visible; and Wessendorff’s paintings reveal spaces that bridge reality and dream – together offering a shared investigation of how image and space interact.

Huge thank you to Nnenna Okore for creating such a powerful and memorable exhibition with “The Way Things Are” here in Munich. It has been a privilege to welcome her and share her work with our community over the past months.

Since arriving in Munich for her lecture at the Rachel Carson Center, invited by Prof. Christoph Mauch, Nnenna has connected with museum directors, collectors, philanthropists, and environmental foundations alike — further confirming her place as one of the leading voices in contemporary art today.

We’re also excited that Dr. Karl Murr, Director of the State Textile and Industrial Museum Augsburg (tim), is preparing the presentation of Okore’s large-scale sculpture “Between Earth and Sky” (2025), on loan from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, London, opening this June.

We can’t wait to welcome Nnenna back again soon.

Until then, join us next week during @variousothersmunich, where we’ll be hosting Berlin-based gallery @sexauer.

A recent article in iband magazine highlights the depth and evolution of Nnenna Okore’s practice, tracing the development of a distinct artistic language that has steadily gained international recognition.

“She is the queen of amazing grace. But long before global institutions began commissioning her large-scale works, Nnenna Okore had already begun shaping a distinct artistic language that would later define her international trajectory.”

The article also reflects on the growing response to her work, shaped by “years of persistence, experimentation, and quiet dedication” that continue to resonate across contexts and audiences.

“Her installation at The Johns Hopkins Hospital stands as a proof to what becomes possible when authenticity meets opportunity… a reminder that representation matters… as presence grounded in excellence.”

A few weeks ago @artduesseldorf with @behnckegallery thanks to @guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurl and @gillesneiensfor including me in the sculpture section . It was a blast 🌎🌍🌏

Thanks so much for joining us for last week’s talk, “I see the textile museum as a place for social engagement,” with Dr. Karl B. Murr, Director of the State Textile and Industrial Museum in Augsburg. The event also featured a Zoom conversation with Nnenna Okore, whose work is currently on view at Behncke Gallery.

The discussion explored how the Textile and Industrial Museum (tim) approaches exhibitions and programming, with a strong focus on social impact. Since 2009, Murr has pushed to include work that engages with current issues as part of the museum’s collection.

This commitment continues with the upcoming presentation of Between Earth and Sky (2025), a large-scale sculpture by Okore, on loan from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, London, and opening in May. Known for her striking textile and glass installations, Okore’s work invites reflection on ecological questions and encourages wider public dialogue.

Through processes of weaving, fraying, tattering, and dyeing, the works in "The Way Things Are" interrogate and reimagine what it means to be interconnected and interdependent with plant life. Using materials such as jute, burlap, and cheesecloth, Okore constructs texturally rich floral forms. These serve as reminders of human temporality and ecological vulnerability. Defined by their expressive reach, flexing, folding, and unfolding, their tactile surfaces embody and activate sensations of movement and growth. Rooted in ideas of ecological connection and human interdependence, the work emphasizes the inseparable relationship humans have with the natural world. Through this body of work, we are reminded to act in the face of complacency or indifference to the well-being of plant life. Plants are the lifeline of living things. They reflect who we are, as humans, and what we become. They embody cycles of living, dying, decay, and renewal. They mirror our own fragile existence. In this sense, plants are our closest kin and can teach us something about care, humility, and respect.
“The Way Things Are", is on view at Behncke Gallery until 8. May.

Through processes of weaving, fraying, tattering, and dyeing, the works in "The Way Things Are" interrogate and reimagine what it means to be interconnected and interdependent with plant life. Using materials such as jute, burlap, and cheesecloth, Okore constructs texturally rich floral forms. These serve as reminders of human temporality and ecological vulnerability. Defined by their expressive reach, flexing, folding, and unfolding, their tactile surfaces embody and activate sensations of movement and growth. Rooted in ideas of ecological connection and human interdependence, the work emphasizes the inseparable relationship humans have with the natural world. Through this body of work, we are reminded to act in the face of complacency or indifference to the well-being of plant life. Plants are the lifeline of living things. They reflect who we are, as humans, and what we become. They embody cycles of living, dying, decay, and renewal. They mirror our own fragile existence. In this sense, plants are our closest kin and can teach us something about care, humility, and respect.
“The Way Things Are", is on view at Behncke Gallery until 8. May.

Thanks to everyone who came to Art Duesseldorf to see our curated dialogue of works by Luisa Baldhuber, Charmaine Poh and Amélie Esterházy.
Together, these works created an intensive encounter in which image, light, and material generate moments of resonance — a contemporary, sensual space for reflection that invites the audience to redefine their own place in the grand scheme of landscape, science and cosmic movement.
