Lenz Geerk's 'Theatre of the Mind' at Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo

Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo in Turin presents 'Theatre of the Mind', the first Italian institutional solo exhibition of Swiss painter Lenz Geerk. The show runs from April 15 to November 11, 2026, and features works created between 2022 and 2024. Geerk's paintings resist immediate perception through plastic sediments and tonal variations that slow the image's texture. His iconographic repertoire includes isolated figures, domestic interiors, and still lifes, arranged in unstable configurations without narrative synthesis. The exhibition's title refers not to performance but to a regime of perspective, where painting organizes the conditions of revelation through matter, alienation, and phenomenological progression. Geerk's practice resonates with Aby Warburg's concept of the survival of forms and Georges Didi-Huberman's stratified progression. The artist's figures emerge intermittently, freeze, and dissolve without discursive closure, creating a non-linear diachrony of returns and minimal shifts.
