Berlin-based gallery SOCIÉTÉ has announced an expansive and intellectually charged programme for Spring 2026, spanning major gallery exhibitions in Berlin alongside significant institutional presentations across Europe. Bringing together some of the most influential voices in contemporary and modern art, the season reflects the gallery’s continued commitment to rigorous curatorial practice and international cultural dialogue.

Sculptural Dialogues in Berlin

Opening the season is 3 Sculptures. Baghramian. Genzken. Noland., running from 10 February to 7 March 2026. Featuring works by Nairy Baghramian, Isa Genzken, and Cady Noland, the exhibition explores how sculpture responds to memory, architecture, and social codes.

Marked by radical simplicity, the presentation invites viewers to reflect on how physical structures mirror psychological and political frameworks, revealing the fragile balance between endurance and collapse in contemporary life.

From 12 March to 18 April 2026, SOCIÉTÉ presents two major exhibitions.

Artist Bunny Rogers returns for her fourth solo show with the gallery. Transforming the space into an immersive, video game–inspired environment, Rogers exLeftplores themes of intimacy, alienation, and emotional vulnerability. Through self-portraits referencing Clone High’s Joan of Arc, she constructs a poetic narrative about protection, loss, and human connection.

Running concurrently is a joint exhibition with Larkin Erdman dedicated to Antonio Calderara. Spanning the full arc of his career, the show traces Calderara’s evolution from figurative painting to refined abstraction. His quiet compositions of colour and geometry articulate what he termed spazio mentale or “mental space,” offering visitors a rare encounter with one of modernism’s most contemplative figures.

Gallery Weekend Berlin: New Voices and Political Form

For Gallery Weekend Berlin opening on 30 April 2026, SOCIÉTÉ will present two solo exhibitions.

On the ground floor, Wynnie Mynerva introduces new paintings and photographs that expand their inquiry into love as a social and cosmic force, moving beyond romance toward collective and transpersonal intimacy.

Upstairs, Albanian Prime Minister and artist Edi Rama presents his first solo exhibition with the gallery. Known for his expressive drawings made during political meetings, Rama translates these works into bronze sculptures, bridging personal expression and public life. A large outdoor installation in the gallery garden extends this dialogue into the urban environment.

Institutional Highlights Across Europe

Alongside its gallery programme, SOCIÉTÉ continues to support major museum exhibitions.

At the Max Ernst Museum in Brühl, Headless by Marianna Simnett runs until July 2026. Drawing on Surrealism, artificial intelligence, and video, the exhibition unfolds as a dreamlike exploration of fractured identity and hybrid narratives.

In Vienna, Simnett also presents Circus at the Secession from March to May 2026. Combining sound, light, and sculptural elements, the show examines endurance, pleasure, and pain through intensely physical and psychological experiences.

From June 2026, Jeanette Mundt will exhibit at the G2 Kunsthalle Leipzig. Her digitally informed paintings interrogate the instability of images in online culture, revealing how perception is constantly reshaped by technology and personal memory.

A Season of Cultural Reach and Curatorial Depth

SOCIÉTÉ’s Spring 2026 programme positions the gallery as a vital bridge between private galleries and public institutions. From sculptural minimalism and immersive installations to politically inflected abstraction and digital-age painting, the season reflects an unusually broad intellectual range.

By supporting artists across generations and disciplines, while maintaining close partnerships with major museums and cultural platforms, SOCIÉTÉ continues to shape conversations around contemporary art on a global scale.

With exhibitions unfolding in Berlin, Vienna, Leipzig, and Brühl, Spring 2026 stands as one of the gallery’s most ambitious seasons to date, reinforcing its role as a leading voice in international contemporary practice.
