FROGS – BROOK HSU, LOUIS EISNER

Posted on 2025-12-15

The exhibition is adapted from its original presentation in Wyoming at the Laundromat & Car Wash in Dubois, part of Bortolami’s tenth Artist / City iteration. This version of Frogs, reconfigured specifically for 55 Walker, preserves the idiosyncrasies of its initial setting. Four large paintings—two by each artist—are mounted on a simple wooden structure built to mirror the size and shape of the washing-machine and folding table framework from the original laundromat.

Opposite – Brook Hsu, Frogs, 2025

Exhibition runs through to December 18th, 2026

FRANZ WEST

Posted on 2025-12-15

The oeuvre of Franz West marks an important shift in sculptural practice beginning in the 1970s. From Vienna, a city shaped by psychoanalytic traditions and a sharp divide between high and low culture, West developed an artistic language that profoundly redefined the concepts of autonomy, functionality, and social interaction.

At a time when conceptual rigor and minimalism still dominated, West developed a practice that was simultaneously playful, associative, and social in nature. His work moves between sculpture, performance, design, and installation, but is especially recognizable for its emphasis on physicality and interaction. West disrupts the traditional distance between artwork and viewer: his objects invite touch, use, or physical closeness, making the experience of art itself a form of active participation.

MICHAEL KREBBER – ANGELDUST

Posted on 2025-12-15

Michael Krebber has spent the past forty years in pursuit of new routes into and out of painting, ever-conscious of claims for the medium’s exhaustion yet committed to its endurance all the same. His conceptual approach, developed through studies with Markus Lüpertz and assistantships with Georg Baselitz and Martin Kippenberger, endeared Krebber to the Cologne art scene of the 1980s and ’90s, alongside peers like Cosima von Bonin, Jutta Koether, and Josef Strau. Like them, Krebber animates European neo-avant-garde strategies that came before, mounting an open-ended critique of art’s systems and processes through subtle visual cues.

ALFIE CAINE – RIVERS AND ROOFTOPS

Posted on 2025-12-08

For British painter Alfie Caine, space is both his subject and his language – something to be lived in, designed, and imagined. Trained in architecture before turning to painting, Caine constructs imagined interiors and landscapes that hover between memory and invention. His rooms and vistas are familiar yet impossible: domestic scenes that obey their own geometry, built from longing.

JANA EULER – THE CENTER DOES NOT FOLD

Posted on 2025-12-08

The center does not fold suggests that clear endpoints or extremes of any kind cannot be folded into a single center. Yet an abundance of variations can extend far beyond those obvious limits. In the act of painting itself, this unfolding occurs naturally: a single painting can give rise to any number of versions that ultimately find their place on the wall. There is an infinity in an unfolded center. This exhibition of mine consists of very different paintings. What they share is not so much their style or technique, but an investment in recurrence. Throughout this new body of work, motifs and protagonists invented previously reappear— rethinking themselves, amplifying certain traits, or generating new outcomes.

BEKHBAATAR ENKHTUR – TINCT

Posted on 2025-12-08

As both title and guiding principle, Tinct refers to the subtle infusions that permeate both matter and memory, allowing different forces to synthesize in continuous motion. Working through a visual language distinctly his own, shaped by meticulous attention to matter as a living substrate of animist resonance, Enkhtur condenses a constellation of morphologically striking entities inspired by the vast landscape of legends and myths that permeate Central and East Asian traditions, as well as the artist’s own Mongolian heritage. These stories, long carried through oral transmission across expansive territorial distances, accrue layers of narrative variation in a mutability of forms that shapes the conceptual substratum of the exhibition, a world structed by transitions, metamorphic rhythms, and temporal dilations of non-hierarchical passage.
