Hauser & Wirth Menorca
Hauser & Wirth Menorca is an art center combining art, education and conservation in the natural setting of Illa del Rei, an island in Mahon harbor. The art center presents an exhibition program spanning ambitious new commissions by gallery artists across all media. Following a conservation project, Hauser & Wirth sensitively repurposed the existing 18th-century outbuildings of a naval hospital to create the 1,500 sq.m art center, which has welcomed over 258,000 visitors since it opened in 2021.
The exhibition space comprises eight galleries and an outdoor sculpture trail, which features works by Stefan Brüggemann, Gary Simmons, Eduardo Chillida and Pipilotti Rist. A garden by the acclaimed landscape designer Piet Oudolf runs alongside the gallery buildings, incorporating native perennials and plants suited to the Mediterranean climate. Adjacent to the gallery is Cantina, a lively eatery focusing on local produce. The outdoor restaurant offers a menu which pays homage to Menorcan cuisine, to be enjoyed under the shade of an live-tree forest. The gallery shop is found in the same building as Cantina, presenting art publications and crafts by local makers.
Mika Rottenberg
10 May – 26 October
For decades Mika Rottenberg has addressed our relationship with capitalist systems of production and labor, realising a labyrinth of disparate worlds through seductive multidimensional works. She draws attention to the absurdity of our global situation; harnessing imagery that’s simultaneously pleasurable and troubling, blurring facts with fiction, the natural from the artificial.
Rottenberg’s first solo exhibition in Spain will feature celebrated video installations, ‘Cosmic Generator’ (2017 – 2018) and Spaghetti Blockchain (2019), alongside her latest ‘Lampshares’ (2025) carved from bittersweet vines and reclaimed plastic.
Cindy Sherman
23 June – 26 October
Cindy Sherman is globally renowned for her exploration of identity and gender through the performance of meticulously observed personas for the camera. For her first solo exhibition in Spain in over two decades, ‘Cindy Sherman. The Women’ will feature a selection of the artist’s most iconic bodies of work, dating from the 1970s to 2010s, and emphasising how Sherman revolutionized the role of the camera in artistic practice.
The exhibition will include the groundbreaking ‘Untitled Films Stills’ (1977 – 1980), through which Sherman came to widespread notoriety as one of the ‘Pictures Generation’, artists whose work responded to the age of mass media and celebrity. This pivotal series will be juxtaposed with Sherman’s large-format portrayals of film stars, starlets, society women and fashionistas, from various series made over subsequent decades, addressing the layered presentation and public perception of femininity.
