Jonathas de Andrade is a leading voice in the contemporary art scene. He works with video as well as photography, sculpture, and installation. Although he has exhibited extensively in South America, North America, and Western Europe, his art has rarely been shown in Germany to date. The dual exhibition in Bad Muskau and Cottbus as part of the 2026 Lausitz Festival, which features some of his most significant works across various media, offers the first opportunity for a thorough engagement with this artist in Germany.

“The Fierce Shine of the Edges” are exhibitions organized by the Lausitz Festival and the Brandenburg State Museum of Modern Art (BLMK), in cooperation with the “Fürst-Pückler-Park Bad Muskau” Foundation.

Curated by Kobi Ben-Meir and Ulrike Kremeier. Supported by the German Federal Cultural Foundation, with additional support from Galleria Continua.
