UPDATE II 2026

Painting, photography, installation, video, sound work, ceramics, poetry, sculpture and small-scale sculpture come together in UPDATE II, the new members’ exhibition of Arti et Amicitiae.

New members present work that emerges from diverse visions, materials and backgrounds. Many of the artists share an attentive approach to what does not immediately reveal itself. Their work moves between memory and imagination, observation and transformation, the everyday and the unexpected.

The exhibition unfolds between the personal and the collective, between perception and interpretation, between what is tangible and what can only be sensed. It invites moments of slowness and stillness, as well as surprise and disorientation.

Unexpected connections, contrasts and echoes arise: a sound that shifts attention, a line that opens up space. Meaning is not fixed; it unfolds, disappears and reappears. Differences are placed side by side, not to resolve them, but to allow space for encounter and wonder. To wander and experience.

UPDATE II is an introduction to the new members of Arti et Amicitiae, and an invitation to move freely with what the exhibition offers.
