Thaddaeus Ropac Gallery to Present Florentina Holzinger's First Solo Exhibition, 'Uncomfortable Conversations'
The Facts
On July 11, 2026, Thaddaeus Ropac gallery announced it will present a solo exhibition of works by Austrian choreographer and performer Florentina Holzinger, marking her first solo show with the gallery. The exhibition, titled 'Uncomfortable Conversations', will feature a new series of works that explore power, identity, violence, desire, and transformation through the body. Holzinger, known for defying categorization by blending dance, theatre, performance art, opera, and circus, has received some of Europe's most prestigious performing arts awards and has been selected repeatedly for Berlin's Theatertreffen.
The Signal
Holzinger's practice challenges the contemporary tendency toward comfort and confirmation, positioning the stage as a site for difficult dialogues rather than easy entertainment. For collectors and curators, this exhibition signals the gallery's deepening commitment to interdisciplinary performance-based practices and artists who push boundaries. Holzinger's growing institutional recognition across Europe, including major awards and festival selections, suggests strong market potential for her work, particularly among institutions seeking to acquire pieces that engage with urgent social and political questions.
