In My Head: Contemporary Artistic Positions

Aurrebista: erakusketa ireki aurretik idatzia

The image the museum leads with, Kara Walker's Untitled Self Portrait from 2024, has no face in it. It is layers of painted paper in red, plum and tan, cut into a rounded, head-like shape and pasted onto white. The title of the show refers to that step: reality turned over in an artist's head and coming out as art.

Each room on the ground floor belongs to one of eight artists: Nicole Eisenman, Jana Euler, Louis Fratino, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Deana Lawson, Martine Syms, Wolfgang Tillmans and Walker. Painting, photography and sculpture get equal billing, all from the Brandhorst Collection and the Eva Felten Photography Collection. You can go from Euler's huge mirrored face, blue eyes staring out of the top corners, to Fratino's back garden at night under a string of bulbs.

The normal €7 ticket covers it (€1 on Sundays), and Thursdays run until 8pm, when themed tours at 6:30pm pair the artists up. The opening on 29 October at 7pm is free, with a DJ afterwards.
