The Facts

Museum Brandhorst in Munich opened the exhibition “In My Head” on October 30, 2026, running through May 30, 2027. The show highlights eight contemporary artists, including Nicole Eisenman, Martine Syms, Jana Euler, Louis Fratino, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Deana Lawson, Wolfgang Tillmans, and Kara Walker. Drawing from the Brandhorst Collection and the Eva Felten Photography Collection, the exhibition presents painting, photography, and sculpture on equal footing, with each room dedicated to a single artist's practice. The title references the creative process of transforming reality into art, and the works explore themes of intimacy, violence, exclusion, and care.

The Signal

The exhibition reflects Museum Brandhorst's curatorial strategy of presenting deep, focused encounters with individual artists rather than broad thematic surveys. By dedicating separate rooms to each of the eight practitioners, the museum allows visitors to trace the evolution of visual motifs and formal strategies within each body of work. The inclusion of both the Brandhorst and Eva Felten collections underscores the institution's commitment to media diversity, while the selection of artists—ranging from established figures like Tillmans to rising stars like Fratino—positions the show as a snapshot of contemporary art's most urgent voices.
