Look for

• Hand On (Tacita Dean and Bruce Nauman, 2026)

  Look for Nauman, against a New Mexico sunset, trying to fit his right hand into a screen-filling cutout of his left on a silent 12-minute 35mm loop beside his permanent room.

• 14 Billions (Working Title) (Tomás Saraceno, 2010)

  You walk inside a black widow's web rewoven at 16.7 times scale from black rope and more than 23,000 hand-tied knots, back on show for the first time in over a decade.

• Clearing (Thomas Demand, 2003)

  A panoramic photograph of a forest that never existed, shot from a paper model of more than 270,000 leaves that Demand built in his studio next to these halls.

• Your psychoacoustic light ensemble (Olafur Eliasson, 2024)

  In a darkened room, strings and electronics shake six large round mirrors on stands, and the light they reflect pulses and ripples across the walls.

• The Passage (Parnassius apollo) (Henrik Håkansson, 2026)

  An Apollo butterfly's flight, filmed with a high-speed camera, plays across four large screens, each showing the same moment at a different framing and frame rate.
