Société is pleased to present Anh Trần’s second solo exhibition with the gallery, opening in September 2025 during Berlin Art Week at an off-site location. Trần’s immersive abstract paintings navigate a fluid terrain of feeling and movement, tracing dynamic relationships across layered fields of color through an accumulation of performative gestures. Her approach to abstraction doesn’t merely consider mark-making as form, but as a way of opening conceptual and emotional space—an intuitive language through which sensation, memory, and displacement find expression. Her newest body of work unfolds across three distinct media: expansive works on canvas, watercolors on paper, and pieces on silk that obliquely reference the tradition of Vietnamese silk painting. By working across these varied materials and surfaces, Trần enters into a generative dialogue with her substrates, testing how each medium absorbs, resists, or refracts her evolving lexicon of kinetic forms.

‘States of Being’ assembles works by thirty artists in a collaborative exhibition by Société and Hauser & Wirth. Ranging from emerging voices to canonical positions, the exhibition showcases artists across both galleries’ programmes, including Nairy Baghramian, Darren Bader, Phyllida Barlow, Louise Bourgeois, Tina Braegger, Trisha Baga, Lee Bul, Petra Cortright, Berlinde De Bruyckere, Salim Green,

Camille Henrot, Rashid Johnson, Lee Lozano, Glenn Ligon, Conny Maier, Jeanette Mundt, Wynnie Mynerva, Kaspar Müller, Thomas J Price, Pipilotti Rist, Mika Rottenberg, Bunny Rogers, George Rouy, Cindy Sherman, Marianna Simnett, Avery Singer, Timur Si-Qin, Alina Szapocznikow, Anh Trần and Lu Yang.

Framed as an exploration of the unstable boundaries of identity, embodiment and agency, ‘States of Being’ considers the many ways humanity is constructed—and contested—through art. Through an intergenerational and cross-disciplinary lens, the exhibition explores themes including vulnerability and fragility, identity and role-play, hubris and violence. Special emphasis is placed on the performative, aesthetic and affective strategies through which these themes are negotiated— highlighting how meaning shifts over time and across contexts, and how networks of influence foster vibrant transgenerational dialogue. ‘States of Being’ is a resonant exploration of the shared complexities of the human condition.
