Persons Projects is proud to present Zofia Kulik’s solo exhibition Written in Her Own Hand, which traces the various stages of her artistic emancipation as she discovers her own voice as an independent female artist. The exhibition also serves as the initial platform for her first monographic book, published by Thames & Hudson, which comprehensively explores Kulik’s extraordinary body of work.
The Exhibition begins with her most memorable graduate work (1968–1971) and follows her transition into the collaborative duo KwieKulik (1971–1987), formed with her partner Przemysław Kwiek- Ending with a large black-and-white self-portrait depicting her as a queen. Together, these selected works provide a deeper understanding of how Kulik’s individual career developed into what it is today.

A central part of Kulik’s graduation diploma at the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts was a three-screen slide projection titled Instead of Sculpture, composed of around 500 photographs (now part of the Tate Modern Collection). For Kulik, sculpture is a process that unfolds over time, without a defined beginning or end, and without a fixed narrative. She explored the dynamic between sculpture and the viewer, analyzing how perception becomes part of the sculptural experience.

Persons Projects is pleased to announce its summer exhibition, The Art of Renewal, bringing together works by the three Helsinki School artists Nanna Hänninen, Ilkka Halso, and Sandra Kantanen—whose conceptual approach to their photographic based practices has engaged deeply with ecological concerns over the past two decades. Through their unique interventions, each artist seeks to symbolically restore nature to what has been lost due to climate change, human neglect and urban encroachment. By altering images of real landscapes, they draw attention to pressing environmental issues, both present and future, blurring the line between the real and the imaginary. Their works use paradoxical situations to emphasize the reality of ecological degradation – barren landscapes infused with color, nature artificially preserved within protective structures, and untamed urban meadows transformed into surreal landscapes.

Opening: Friday, 02 May 6 - 9 pm

Exhibition: 01 May - 21 June 2025

Persons Projects is privileged to present Kristján Guðmundsson’s exhibition during this year’s Gallery Weekend in Berlin. He is one of the most important conceptual artists to emerge from Iceland. His involvement with the SÚM movement (1965-78) challenged the traditional Icelandic interpretation of art as being solely rooted in landscape painting and nature. Influenced by international artists such as Donald Judd, Richard Long, and Dieter Roth, Guðmundsson in turn questioned throughout his career what constitutes art by upending our assumptions of what it is. His minimal sculptures and wall compositions over the past six decades are composed of a wide range of materials, including graphite blocks, pencil leads, water levels, paper rolls, aluminum-framed window panes, and plastic logos.

Persons Projects is proud to present, as part of the European Month of Photography in Berlin (EMOP), Grey Crawford’s third solo exhibition. His self-performances from the early 1970s encapsulate the spirit of an era in Southern California, in which Performance Art moved away from the platform of the audience and into the photographic framing of the moment. During this time, performance art can be best described as any type of self-absorbed activity that questioned the essence of sculpture by eliminating the object itself. The focus was on the body and its movement, and how these activities created conversations rather than answers. It was a period of experimentation, and Los Angeles - along with its extended suburbs - was the perfect place for these happenings to evolve. Local artists such as John Baldessari, Ed Ruscha, Chris Burden, and Judy Chicago were all crossing artistic boundaries, and opening up new opportunities that challenged the existing parameters of what the establishment considered to be art. Anywhere and everything became potential stages for artistic intervention. It was in this cultural setting that Grey Crawford’s performances began to evolve. His experiments incorporated locations ranging from the Mojave Desert to the infamous ceramic slip installations of Douglas Humble in his own home.
