YANN GERSTBERGER – THE EXPECTATION

Posted on 2026-05-25

In this exhibition, the artist turns toward a quiet yet profound gesture: the act of beginning again. Conceived as a tribute to those who have returned to creating after time away, the works unfold through a recurring image of sunlight, an enduring symbol of clarity, renewal, and hope. If darkness unsettles us because it obscures what lies ahead, morning o!ers a gentle correction. As light enters, forms reappear, and with them, the possibility of continuation. It is within this passage, from obscurity to illumination, that the artist’s works take shape. When the Sun Shines Again marks You’s first major solo presentation in New York.

Opposite – The Expectation, 2026

Exhibition runs through to August 14th, 2026

MICHEL PÉREZ POLLO – DOUBLE GAZ

Posted on 2026-05-11

In Double Gaze, Michel Pérez Pollo proposes a game of resistance – one that challenges the viewer to seek out similarities and differences, tricks and devices, errors and accuracies, the fractal and imaginary possibilities of a matter that unfolds before us into two. Like twin souls that bifurcate, like the very beginning of a human embryo, when a single cell divides into two, and so on…
We never know which is the original and which the copy; nor will we ever know which is primary and which secondary. And this initial doubt draws us in: we fall easily into his web of artifices, into his diluted glazes where humidity seems to linger in the atmosphere, despite an architectural flatness that encloses us as if within cells of symbolic experimentation, as though the artist, after years living in Spain – were quietly challenging the Andalusian Baroque masters he so admires, evoking embryonic miniZurbaráns in order to capture the same climate of memory.

IRMA BLANK – BEING HERE

Posted on 2026-04-27

On the occasion of Zurich Art Weekend, Mai 36 Galerie is proud to present Being Here, the second solo exhibition by Irma Blank.
Irma Blank was born in Northern Germany (Celle) in 1934 and passed away in 2023 in Milan, at the age of eighty-eight. Passionate about literature and language, she moved to Sicily in 1955 after meeting her Italian husband, a move that uprooted her and became the foundation of her work. A stranger to the language around her, she taught drawing at a local high school by day and made art at night, working alone in her studio. The distance between two countries and two languages led her to a realisation: there is no such thing as the right word. Rather than filling the page with meaning, she empties it, replacing legible words with drawn lines that look like writing but resist being read. “I try to retrieve the space of silence, the unsaid.”
