IN PLAIN SIGHT - RABKA MEHR

Opening: Friday, 27 November 2026, at 6 pm

The exhibition In Plain Sight is the first solo exhibition by Hamburg-based artist Rabka Mehr (born 1983 in Kabul, Afghanistan). Mehr has been an artist at the Schlumper studio collective since 2005. Over more than twenty years, she has developed a distinctive body of work characterised by repetition, strong formal structures, and a recurring visual vocabulary of figures, vehicles, interiors, and text. Her work has previously been shown in numerous group exhibitions organised by Die Schlumper.

To coincide with the exhibition, a monograph on Rabka Mehr will be published, featuring texts by Khairani Barokka and Viktor Neumann in both German and English.

Organised and curated by David Fletcher in collaboration with Die Schlumper.

IN GESELLSCHAFT / IN COMPANY

Opening: Friday, 13 November 2026, at 7 pm

What brings us together, and what sets us apart? The group exhibition In Company explores the space between shared experiences and individual forms of expression. The people and figures depicted encounter one another in both their similarities and their differences – as individuals and as part of a whole.

Being in company means being in a relationship with other people. Society reveals itself not only in what people share with one another, but also in what distinguishes them from one another.

Small creatures populate the drawings of Jörg Höling and Mikael Selassie. Bernhard Krebs’s large-scale drawings depict individuals and groups, while Thorsten Raab’s paintings portray a colourful society. Alongside artists from the Schlumper studio, guest artist Tommy Hung Nguyen is represented with his ceramic works.

The exhibition creates a space in which shared experiences and individuality coexist, opening up new perspectives on human interaction and togetherness.

Participating artists include:

Jörg Höling, Tommy Hung Nguyen, Bernhard Krebs, Thorsten Raab, Irma Sass, Mikael Selassie, and others.
 
Opening hours:
Wed - Fri 16.00 – 19.00
Sat 11.00 – 17.00
Sun 14.00 – 17.00 
 

The gallery will be closed from 24 to 26 December 2026 and from 31 December 2026 to 1 January 2027.
