1 MAY until 27 JUN 2026
Opening – 1 MAY 2026, 6-9 pm

Société is pleased to announce a solo exhibition with Wynnie Mynerva. In their opening presentation with Société in November 2025, Mynerva presented an immersive painting installation that examined how the rhetoric of love has historically operated as a structure of lack—defined by absence, longing, and possession.

On the occasion of Gallery Weekend, Mynerva will present new paintings and photographs that extend this inquiry, shifting the focus from romantic love toward broader forms of collective, social, and cosmological relationality. These works continue the artist’s painterly exploration of the affective and political dimensions of love and shared experience, opening the question of intimacy onto communal and transpersonal modes of connection.

Drawing upon colonial histories, the experience of migration, and legacies of sexual liberation, the works trace Mynerva’s search for new ways of loving and being loved, signaling a “return home” to Andean thought. Within this framework, love is neither reduced to an intimate feeling nor to a private bond, but sustained through constant exchange—expressing that every being exists only insofar as it is linked to others, forming a continuous fabric of correspondences and ensuring collective equilibrium. “In this sense,” Mynerva asks, “what is love, if not a relational force: the energy that holds together bodies, territories, ancestors, and cycles of time?”

Société is pleased to announce a solo exhibition with Edi Rama, the artist’s first with the gallery.

Edi Rama creates exuberant compositions that embody a symbiosis between art making and politics. At the core of the Albanian Prime Minister’s artistic practice are his vivid stream-of-consciousness drawings, produced during meetings in his office, where free, expressive lines unfold alongside the structural demands of political life. These mindscapes act as a springboard for experimentation: biomorphic blots and amorphous shapes evolve into compositions that resist fixed reference or narrative.

For Gallery Weekend, Rama will present a series of new bronze sculptures. The works are created by translating his drawings into 3D-printed forms, which are subsequently modeled by hand before being cast in bronze. Reflecting Rama’s associative and unstructured approach to art making, his sculptures give full rein to subconscious processes as their primary guiding force. Freed from the immediacy of the drawn line, the works assume weight, volume, and permanence, marking a shift from private notation to public form. Rama will also present his first large-scale outdoor work in the gallery’s garden, further extending the movement of his forms from the enclosed space of the office interior into the public realm.
