JANIS LÖHRER | Neuer Aachener Kunstverein

Right Place, Wrong Time, opening 1 November: Janis Löhrer's artistic practice deals with questions of queer identity, space and body, masculinity and shame. In his first institutional solo exhibition, Right Place, Wrong Time, which opens on 1 November 2025 at the NAK Neuer Aachener Kunstverein as part of the Junge Kunst Euregio series in cooperation with STAWAG, Löhrer presents a site-specific installation consisting of a multitude of glazed ceramics that appear to be scattered randomly throughout the space, as well as a large communal ceramic shower, which the artist has recreated in detail, complete with a tiled wall, handmade shower fittings and soap dishes. The exhibition space becomes a transient place that traces the character of public toilets, bathhouses or parks, without, however, placing the expected protagonists of these social spaces, who are read as male, at the centre of the presentation. These interstitial spaces represent intimacy and publicness in equal measure, simultaneously expressing an interplay of social norms and secret practices. In these spaces, Löhrer explores ideas of vulnerability, the boundaries of shame, desire and community.

Galerie Judith Andreae presents Janis Löhrer in a solo presentation at Ceramic Brussels, from 21 to 25 January 2026.
