Sabina Ott: all this and not ordinary

15 Oct, 2025 - 15 Feb, 2026

Sabina Ott: all this and not ordinary is the first solo exhibition of the artist鈥檚 work since her death in 2018, presenting 33 works created in the final years of her career. The exhibition鈥檚 title is drawn from a poem in Gertrude Stein鈥檚 Tender Buttons (1914), a text that remained a pivotal source of inspiration for Ott throughout her life. Employing materials such as polystyrene and spray foam, Ott transformed the ordinary into the extraordinary, constructing works of art that are at once imaginative and dreamlike. For Ott, art offered a space of transformation, a means of turning trauma inside out and reshaping it into forms of play and wonder. This exhibition highlights the depth of her experimental practice and affirms her enduring legacy as an artist who expanded the possibilities of material and meaning.
