➘ END-OF-SUMMER REVIEW

This summer, PROJETS highlighted exhibitions shaping the season across Europe and beyond. For this closing chapter, conceived with DOCENT, we look back at ten encounters that defined summer 2025.

Mika Rottenberg — Hauser & Wirth Menorca

Her first solo in Spain gathers Cosmic Generator, Spaghetti Blockchain and new sculptural series Lampshares, blurring fantasy and reality with absurdity and wit.

Andra Ursuța — DESTE Foundation, Hydra

In Hydra’s old slaughterhouse, fragile glass and bronze sculptures evoke myth and survival, suspended between ruin and resilience.

Francis Offman — Castello San Basilio, Basilicata

At a 7th-century fortress turned cultural hub, Offman presents new works created in residency, resonating with the layered histories of southern Italy.

Mendes Wood DM & Fortes D’Aloia & Gabriel — Comporta

At Casa da Cultura, works by Laís Amaral, Pol Taburet, Erika Verzutti, Nina Canell and others probe thresholds between light and shadow.

Palazzo Strozzi — Time for Women, Florence

A landmark exhibition rewriting art history through women’s voices, from pioneers to leading figures.

Schinkel Pavillon — Female Gaze, Berlin

The “female gaze” reimagined as a chorus of perspectives — intimate, fragmented, complex.

SITE SANTA FE — Once Within a Time

Curated by Cecilia Alemani, the 12th SITE SANTA FE International explores storytelling across a dozen venues, engaging with myth, memory, and the Southwest’s histories.

The Breeder — Public Secrets, Athens

Curated by Milovan Farronato, this group show explores concealment and revelation as catalysts for new encounters.

PEANA — El desierto de ella, Mexico City

Six women artists reflect on femininity, ecology, and territory against Mexico’s stark northern landscapes.

Société × Gathering — Sunset Strip, Ibiza

At Gathering’s space, works by Trisha Baga, Petra Cortright, Conny Maier, Tai Shani, Marianna Simnett and others reframe Ibiza as a liminal home for contemporary art.
