now open: Julie Mia „Ashton Hall“

Ashton Hall? A place, a figure, a story – or none of the above? 
Julie Mia’s second solo exhibition at Galerie 3AP Frankfurt carries a title that functions like an echo. The artist’s work investigates the fragility of meaning – as an aesthetic principle, an existential condition, and a critical commentary on the relationship between image, material, and perception. Her interdisciplinary practice moves fluidly between sculpture, painting, photography, and installation. A central focus of the exhibition is Julie Mia’s recent engagement with steel, sparked by her participation in the 3rd International Sculpture Symposium in spring 2025. Here, steel becomes a conceptual agent, carrying questions of resistance, transformation, and permanence. Its raw, untreated surface foregrounds the tension between fragility and durability. The myth of Sisyphus, as interpreted by Albert Camus, serves as a philosophical anchor. In her repeated gestures, translations, and material shifts, Mia reflects the absurd conflict between the human search for meaning and the world’s fundamental meaninglessness.
