Opening: Thursday, 16 May 2024, 50 East 1st Street, New York, 6–8 pm

We are thrilled to announce a new partnership between OSMOS, Jocelyn Wolff (Paris/Romainville) and Meyer Riegger (Berlin/Karlsruhe/Basel) in New York. Together, the two galleries will collaborate in the development of an artistic program for OSMOS’ space located in Manhattan’s East Village. For two years, alternating with the OSMOS program, Jocelyn Wolff and Meyer Riegger will curate exhibitions in this project space that, since its inception in the 1990s, has become steeped in a tradition of experimentation.

Our first exhibition in New York is devoted to the artist Miriam Cahn (b. 1949, Basel, Switzerland). Primarily known for her paintings and drawings, her practice also includes sculpture, video, photography and writing. This year, Cahn received two of the most prestigious European awards for artists: the Oskar Kokoschka Prize, awarded by the Austrian federal government, and the Goslar Kaiserring, awarded by the city of Goslar. With her political works, Cahn reveals a feminist and deeply humanistic view of the world.

This first show at OSMOS will offer a look into a less-explored facet of Cahn’s work, namely the theme of reproducibility, notably through her digital slideshows, photographs and engravings from the 1980s to the present day.
