Talia Chetrit: Bunny x LOEWE Foundation at Museo Lázaro Galdiano, Madrid
from June 6 to August 30, 2026
This showcase marks the American photographer’s first major institutional solo exhibition in Spain. Known for her provocative and deeply personal approach to photography, often blurring the line between staged and candid imagery; Bunny features family portraits, tableaux and still lifes that highlight the tension between vulnerability and performance. Shot over nearly three decades, Chetrit reflects on themes of intimacy, memory and irregular beauty, exploring how clothing, bodies and objects acquire meaning through time and chance, challenging conventional ideas of representation. Her use of theatrical lighting and deliberate framing underscores the evolving relationship between subject and environment.
Presented with LOEWE and the LOEWE Foundation, the show runs as part of PHotoESPAÑA 2026.

Rinus Van de Velde: The Dinner at Galerie Max Hetzler, Marfa
from May 26 to December 6, 2026
Maybe someone asked the Belgian artist who his dream dinner party guests (dead or alive) would be, because this major solo exhibition features an imagined, surreal gathering of legendary cultural figures including the late David Hockney, Claude Monet, and Albert Oehlen, brought together in a remote, undefined location that pays homage to the unique landscape of Marfa, Texas. The show features a "salon-style" display of oil pastels, alongside monumental black-and-white charcoal paintings, cardboard sculptures and two short films.

Paolo Roversi: Doubts at The MOP Foundation, Spain
from June 20 to September 20, 2026
The exhibition’s title stems from Roversi’s personal artistic philosophy where he notes that "doubt is the open door to creativity and imagination, whereas certainty closes that door." Rather than striving for crisp, technical precision, Roversi utilises uncertainty, soft focus, and long exposures to capture emotion, vulnerable expressions, and dreamlike states.
The layout of the show transforms the venue's massive nave into a labyrinth-like network of 12 interconnected sections. Each room expresses a different facet of his distinct aesthetic, includingRenowned editorial works shot for high-fashion platforms like Vogue, Vanity Fair, and W Magazine, unpublished works and a selection of previously unseen images that Roversi describes as having been "sleeping in boxes" for decades.

Urs Fischer: Eugène Atget at Gagosian, Athens
from June 9 to September 12, 2026
This solo exhibition of new, large-scale metropolitan paintings by the Swiss artist marks his first presentation at Gagosian Athens, in a show that explores modern urban memory by contrasting our current digital image flow with historical photographic archives.
The exhibition explores the sensory overload, fragmentation, and continuous flow of contemporary urban life. Fischer contrasts the historical, slow-exposure documentation of "Old Paris" by legendary French photographer Eugène Atget with the fast-paced, digitally saturated reality of modern-day Los Angeles—Fischer's adopted home.
Instead of literal depictions, Fischer captures the feeling of looking out the window of a speeding car, recording a beautifully chaotic palimpsest of highways, commercial signs, faces, and digital advertising.

Camille Vivier at La Maison Européenne de la Photographie, Paris
from June 10 to 13 September, 2026
This is the first major retrospective exhibition dedicated to the French photographer spanning more than 25 years of Vivier's boundary-blurring career, showcasing nearly 100 works that weave between fashion photography, sculptural forms, and personal artistic exploration. Exploring a magnetic, hybrid universe where the living and the inanimate meet, expect a diverse visual mix.
Vivier has also released a new monographic book titled Polaroids, published by Art Paper Editions, which is available for purchase during the retrospective's run.

Winter Vandenbrink, Wolves, published by IDEA Books
The Dutch photographer is renowned for capturing the intimacy of everyday passersby and youth in their urban environments with a unique perspective, using innovative photographic techniques that authentically trace the vulnerability of his subjects.
This highly anticipated photo book edited and designed by the prominent Dutch graphic designer Linda van Deursen serves as the follow-up to Vandals, Vandenbrink's highly acclaimed, massive 2024 street-portrait monograph. In a similar vein, Wolves draws inspiration from French philosophers Félix Guattari and Gilles Deleuze, and captures raw, voyeuristic, and long-lens portraits of youth culture, European teen street style, and modern urban masculinity.

Bram Kinsbergen: The Hidden Act at Plus One, Antwerp
from June 11 to July 18, 2026
The Belgium artist explores the complexities of individual and collective human experience, addressing both what we think we understand and what we wonder about, hovering between the known and the unknown. In this latest solo show, he explains how “the hidden is not separate from what we see, it is part of how seeing is constructed.”
There is often an invisible process behind whatever images we encounter, and what interests Kinsbergen is that accumulation and duration that disappears once something becomes visible.
“In the context of the circus, the show is only a fragment,” he adds. “I think of an exhibition in the same way. What is presented feels immediate, resolved, almost self-evident. But it is built on layers of decisions, revisions, hesitations, and labor that remain absent from the final image. The work exists long before it is seen, yet that existence is rarely acknowledged.

Adam Peter Johnson, No Birds, published by Antenne Books
For his very first photography book, the French photographer and director explores the ever-evolving creative bond and artistic dialogue that shapes his work with muse and friend Apolline Rocco Fohrer – navigating what it means to be a woman: inhabiting multiple roles, desires, and contradictions within daily life.
Often inspired by cinematic references in his visual language, Johnson takes us on an Australian road trip to a vast and infinite landscape which echoes that of his own birth place in Provence in France. Immersed within a backdrop of fantasy and escape, a silent narrative unfolds moments and scenes which navigate tension between public and private spaces and the blurred lines between the visible and the intimate, between memory, imagination, and lived experience.
The book’s literal title was taken from the name of an Australian car rental company within the area where it was shot, but anchors itself to a deeper meaning, where the silence draws you into a sky without birds, a lone space, a solitary inner wandering.
