Mit großer Betroffenheit und Trauer nimmt das @ifa.de Abschied von Henrike Naumann, einer außergewöhnlichen Künstlerin und Persönlichkeit, die am 14.02.2026 nach kurzer, schwerer Krankheit verstorben ist.

Unser herzlichstes Beileid und tiefes Mitgefühl gelten in diesen schweren Zeiten ihrer Familie und allen, die ihr nahestanden. Ihr Tod hinterlässt eine schmerzhafte Lücke – nicht nur in der Kunstwelt, sondern auch in unserer Arbeit als Institution im internationalen Kunstaustausch. 🖤🕊️

Now open: the German Pavilion at the Venice Bienniale 2026!

In Ruin, @sungtieu and @henrikenaumann present newly commissioned works that draw on their research into the GDR and the post-reunification period. Their practices trace how political, social, and architectural ruptures continue to shape the present.

ARE YOU FOR REAL?
After years as a digital constellation, “Are You For Real: Cosmotechnics, Counterfictions, and the Art of Worldbuilding” by ifa – Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen has now taken physical form – currently on view in Montevideo. 🇺🇾

Blending virtual infrastructures with speculative futures and mythological resistance, the exhibition brings together art, technology, and magic to question the idea of “reality.” Across six clusters, it traces how digital worlds are entangled with planetary systems, and how they might help us imagine new futures beyond the human.

Unfolding across three institutions, this marks the beginning of a multi-year exhibition journey across the Americas.
Now on view at:
📍 Espacio de Arte Contemporáneo
📍 Museo de Artes Decorativas – Palacio Taranco
📍 Museo Nacional de Artes Visuales

In collaboration with @goetheinstitut_uruguay
Language: Spanish

Discover it across three museums in Montevideo! Not in Uruguay? Check out the online platform to explore the project’s digital origins!

On World Book Day, we’re thinking about the many ways books move across borders carrying stories and perspectives with them. 📚

Swipe through for a small selection from our reading list and tab the link in our profile for more information:

▪️Spheres of Interest, published by DISTANZ Verlag, developed through exhibitions at ifa Galleries and reflecting on the ifa art collection and its global exhibition histories
▪️The Event of a Thread, published by ifa, highlights the significance of textiles in contemporary art, linking personal and aesthetic narratives to the social and economic structures of a globalised world.
▪️Vielfalt, by Morgane Llanque, Droemer Verlag, is a world history told through the lens of marginalised peoples. From female hunters in the Stone Age to queer emperors and disabled pirates, their stories challenge current historical narratives about patriarchy and white supremacy
▪️Wanderings About History. The Photography of Ulrich Wüst, Spector Books, presents Wüst’s precise photographic observations of urban spaces in the GDR and Eastern Germany, revealing war damage, architectural decay and everyday absurdities as quiet, non‑ideological reflections on social change
▪️How to Love a Homeland, by Oxana Timofeeva, Matthes & Seitz, a key reference point for ifa’s exhibition programme on belonging, displacement, and solidarity.
▪️The Culture of Democracy by Bin Xu, a conceptual study of democracy in its cultural and social dimensions, engaging with one of the ifa Library’s core thematic focuses.

What if fashion is a cultural seismograph that anticipates social shifts?

Curator @lotfi_aoulad asks this question in the exhibition 'Diaspora Wonderland. Fashioning Worlds', bringing together five artists whose work explores diasporic perspectives through fashion.

The exhibition is in collaboration with @dasrelais, founded by @lotfi_aoulad, creating connections between the arts, communities and wellbeing.

'Diaspora Wonderland' brings together a generation of artists from Afro-Mediterranean diasporas, exploring identity, memory and belonging through the language of fashion.

The works presented share a common ground: the stories of countries left behind, family intimacy, the traces of exile, inherited know-how and the images that arise from fragmented memories.

💌 The exhibition is on view until 07.06.26, with two exciting events coming up soon—subscribe to our newsletter to be the first to know.

❤️‍🔥EXHIBITION ALERT❤️‍🔥

In an era when algorithms loop through our daily lives, fragment our attention, and dictate what counts as presence, this exhibition asks: How do we reclaim both time and relation from the algorithmic forces shaping our world? How can art open portals to alternative temporalities and coalitional worlds beyond AI, and imagine futures otherwise?

Opening April 24th at @ifa.de gallery in Stuttgart, we bring together the artistic research and collective experiments of two residencies, and shows the works of the residents hiba ali, Zainab Aliyu, Mac Andre Arboleda, biarritzzz, Guilherme Bretas, Maithu Bùi, Noam Youngrak Son, and Kira Xonorika.

The artworks unfold across digital and embodied spaces through sound, video, AI-generated imagery, speculative frameworks, digital spreadsheets, virtual reality, and archival intervention, offering counter-imaginaries that defy both accelerationist and extractivist logics.

The residencies behind this exhibition unraveled through dialogue, exchange, mentorship, and collaborative experimentation. They were developed in collaboration with @ifa.de , @ifa.visualarts @kampnagel_hamburg @deichtorhallenhamburg , with additional support from the @goetheinstitut_barcelona
Mentorship was offered by Idil Galip, Neema Githere, Petja Ivanova, Vanessa A. Opoku, Xin Xin, Anasuya Sengupta, and allapopp

Production & co-curation: Ulla Heinrich @lexivoid

📸 Așa a fost…
O expoziție. Zeci de imagini. Peste 35 de ani de fotografie. Fragmente de viață surprinse cu sensibilitate și rigoare de Sibylle Bergemann.

Mulțumim tuturor celor care ne-au trecut pragul, care au privit, au descoperit și au luat cu ei aceste imagini.

✨ Unele expoziții se încheie... dar rămân cu tine.

----------------------------------
📸 So war es…
Eine Ausstellung. Dutzende von Bildern. Über 35 Jahre Fotografie. Ausschnitte aus dem Leben, von Sibylle Bergemann mit Feingefühl und Präzision eingefangen.

Wir danken allen, die uns besucht haben, die geschaut, entdeckt und diese Bilder mitgenommen haben.

✨ Manche Ausstellungen gehen zu Ende… aber sie bleiben bei dir.
