Carrie Mae Weems Gets Fourth Solo Show at Galerie Barbara Thumm

In Berlin, Galerie Barbara Thumm is set to unveil its fourth solo exhibition featuring American artist Carrie Mae Weems, coinciding with Berlin Art Week 2026. This event aligns with Weems's traveling showcase, 'Carrie Mae Weems: The Heart of the Matter,' hosted at C/O Berlin, part of a broader celebration of her work. The exhibition will highlight pieces from Weems's 'Seaside' series, where she employs her signature self-portraiture technique as a witness. Captured from behind on a solitary beach, Weems is depicted in contemplative moments, gazing at the ocean's expanse, often seated at an easel. Born in 1953 in Portland, Oregon, Weems has been a prominent figure in contemporary art for over 40 years, exploring social and political themes through various mediums. This exhibition continues the gallery's longstanding collaboration with Weems, who has previously exhibited there three times.
