Kunstraum München to Present Site-Specific Installation 'Hawaiian Hills' by Michail Pirgelis
The exhibition "Hawaiian Hills" by Michail Pirgelis runs February 26 to April 19, 2026 at Kunstraum München. It presents two new series of works made from original red-and-white striped aircraft parts as a site-specific installation across both floors of the space. The artist intervenes in the found materials through cutouts and surface treatments, creating consistent formats that recall Minimal Art while the title evokes contrasting associations. The show is curated by Friederike Schuler and accompanied by a publication and edition.
The Signal
The presentation revives Postminimalist and Conceptual conventions through serial and sculptural elements, referencing 1970s exhibitions at the venue by artists including Richard Tuttle, Fred Sandback, Agnes Martin and Robert Ryman. This positions Pirgelis's autonomous display system as a contemporary development that questions boundaries between installation, sculpture and painting within an independent art space.
