The Facts

On October 1, 2026, White Cube announced that Kunst Museum Winterthur has opened 'Mona Hatoum: Routes of Dissonance', a major solo exhibition running from October 3, 2026, to January 31, 2027. The show brings together sculptures and installations spanning nearly four decades, including key works such as 'Over my dead body' (1988–2002), 'Hot Spot (stand)' (2018), 'Map (mobile)' (2019), 'Still Life (medical cabinet) III' (2024), and 'Mirror' (2025). The exhibition is curated by Konrad Bitterli, with its title referencing both contemporary turbulence and the multi-route layout through the galleries.

The Signal

The exhibition offers a deep dive into Hatoum's sustained exploration of displacement, conflict, and power structures, cementing her status as a critical voice in contemporary art. For collectors and curators, this survey is a rare chance to see pivotal works across decades in one venue, potentially boosting market interest in both early and recent pieces. The inclusion of 2025's 'Mirror' underscores Hatoum's ongoing evolution, while the show's presence at a major Swiss institution signals continued institutional validation of her politically charged practice.
