We congratulate our fellow Jabu Arnell who will have a solo exhibition in Kunstituut Melly next season.

On Friday 20 September, a new season of exhibitions will open at Kunstinstituut Melly. This will be the first program by Gabi Ngcobo as director of Kunstinstituut Melly. The exhibitions are an introduction and set the tone for the next four years, focusing on improvisation as an ongoing conceptual framework.
During this new season, we will present five solo exhibitions framed under the title 'First Double 1 & 2' by artists: Cihad Caner (Turkey) (based in Rotterdam), Jabu Arnell (St. Martin /Netherlands), Luana Vitra (Brazil), Nolan Oswald Dennis (South Africa), and Sara Sejin Chang (Sara van der Heide) (Netherlands/South Korea). Additionally, there will be a group exhibition titled 'Pickup Notes' featuring works by Liz Johnson Artur (United Kingdom), Madiha Sikander (Pakistan/Canada), and Zara Julius (South Africa). These exhibitions will be on view across three floors at Kunstinstituut Melly until Sunday 27 April 2025.
