Persons Projects is pleased to announce the opening of its upcoming exhibition Geometry of Light, featuring Karl Benjamin and Grey Crawford, presented as part of this year’s Gallery Weekend in the new sector Perspectives.

Geometry of Light explores, for the first time, the direct influence of Karl Benjamin’s hard-edge painting on the early conceptual photography of Grey Crawford. Though working in different media, both artists were rooted in Southern California and shared a common visual language—one grounded in the precise use of geometry, structure, and abstraction.

Opening: Friday 20 March 2026, 6 - 8 pm

Exhibition: 21 March - 25 April 2026

Venue: Persons Projects, Lindenstr. 35, 10969 Berlin

Persons Projects is proud to present a solo exhibition of new works by Finnish artist Riitta Päiväläinen from the Helsinki School. The series, titled Phantasma, was created in the dramatic, isolated landscapes of Iceland and Lapland. Phantasma evokes the fleeting, ghostly presence of her textile installations, capturing ephemeral moments where memory, imagination, and nature converge.

Since 1997, Päiväläinen has photographed and produced site-specific fabric installations within natural environments. She has developed a singular visual language, creating delicate, temporary interventions in remote, pristine places seemingly untouched by human activity. She selects her locations with care, choosing forests, valleys, or riverbanks as the stage for her work. Using second-hand clothing and found fabrics, she constructs temporary organic sculptures that engage with the landscape, forming fragile shelters and intimate spaces that evoke childhood memories and invite reflection on our relationship with nature.
