Kohei Nawa
Soma

15 November 2024 –
26 April 2025

The Nick and Vera Munro Foundation is pleased to present Soma, Kohei Nawa’s third solo exhibition at Galerie Vera Munro in Hamburg.

The repeated assembly and dispersing of cells that make “soma”—or “body” in Greek—, as they are encoded and decoded between two- and three-dimensional forms and between various materials and techniques, creates a dynamic and ever-changing landscape. This process of transformation, where cells evolve and adapt, gives rise to new materialities and physical sensations, infusing the viewer with a sense of the artwork’s energy and dynamism.

JĀNIS AVOTIŅŠ

New Works

Exhibition Opening

Dear friends of the gallery,

In his fifth solo exhibition at the Vera Munro Gallery, Jānis Avotiņš presents new paintings and sculptures that thematically continue from the Latvian artist’s last exhibition in the spring of 2023.

The works of Avotiņš, as Jens Asthoff writes, are characterized by a distinctive atmosphere, which can be described as timeless, stretched silence. The figures usually remain on the threshold of anonymity, giving the works a subtle timelessness.

The new exhibition once again invites viewers to immerse themselves in Avotiņš’s quiet, profound world of images and figures.

As part of the exhibition melody / transmitter, we are pleased to present the new series humanoid has escaped (2024/25) by the Austrian artist Gerwald Rockenschaub.

The works in the humanoid has escaped series play with subtle deviations, irritations, memories, recycling, and reappropriation.
melody / transmitter – distorted geometric structures appear like visual melodies – precisely composed yet ambiguous; clear, yet double-edged.
