upcoming: participation at Art Düsseldorf 2026

We are pleased to announce our second participation at Art Düsseldorf, following our presentation at last year’s edition. For 2026, the gallery presents a joint booth featuring Joschua Yesni Arnaut, Roberto Barbosa, Jacqueline Hen and Lara Werth under the curatorial title “Ich”.

Bringing together four distinct artistic approaches, the presentation explores questions of identity, memory, and the body. Working with paper, sculpture, and installation the artists use materials that register both vulnerability and strength. Their works draw on personal experience and physical presence, creating a focused dialogue on how inner states take form – and how they shift over time.

The works on view explore states of transition and openness – not as opposing forces, but as essential conditions of self-formation. Following our presentation at Art Düsseldorf 2025, which explored spatial and externally shaped states of transition, this year’s booth turns its attention to inner, personal, and biographical transformations that unfold less in the external environment and more within the body, memory, and the self. By foregrounding fragmented subjectivity and the relationship between memory, space, and material, the presentation considers how the self is formed, perceived, and continually negotiated.

Joschua Yesni Arnaut (*1989) works across photography, sculpture, and installation with a performative approach. His practice investigates the relationships between body, memory, and space, deconstructing autobiographical narratives of power, masculinity, and vulnerability. Through this lens, Arnaut opens new perspectives on self and social interaction, creating works that engage viewers in both intimate reflection and broader social discourse.

Roberto Barbosa (*1990) explores questions of power, identity, and space. Through performances, drawings, sculpture, video, and architectural models, he creates spaces you can feel and enter, revealing the interconnections between people, power, and the environments they inhabit.

Jacqueline Hen (*1989) works across painting, light installation, and spatial experimentation. Her ongoing H-Series unfolds through reflective, color-shifting surfaces and impasto structures that respond to changing light and perspective. Oscillating between color and greyscale, presence and dissolution, her works create atmospheric visual fields in constant transition.

Lara Werth (*1996) transforms observations from travel, urban environments, and natural landscapes into meticulously detailed drawings. Line by line, she constructs intricate worlds where urban life and cityscapes, floating bridges, and rare or imagined fauna coexist, merging reality with imagination. Her works invite viewers to explore the delicate balance between human civilization and the natural world, creating dreamlike, otherworldly spaces that resonate with the cosmic interconnectedness of our environment.

From 17–19 April 2026, the eighth edition of Art Düsseldorf will present 119 international galleries. The list of exhibitors includes galleries from 22 countries and underscores Art Düsseldorf’s established position within the international art fair landscape.
