ABOUT GENIUS LOCI
The Genius Loci exhibition series by SETAREH, launched in 2013, serves as a vital annual springboard for contemporary art's freshest voices by channeling the "spirit of the place" from Dรผsseldorf's legendary art scene. Marking a historic milestone for the project, 2026 hosts the first iteration in Berlin, introducing a brand-new backdrop to the series' evolving concept. Curating a highly anticipated selection of emerging talents, the series maps out the collective consciousness of a new creative generation across diverse mediums like abstract painting, technoid sculpture, and video installation. The overarching curation remains gathering a group of artists whose works are confident, expressive and pertinent, as they balance individualism and modern reality.
