Regen Projects hosts an opening art party for Keep Movin’ by Wolfgang Tillmans on Thursday, January 15, 2026, 6–8pm. This is the artist’s ninth solo exhibition with the gallery since 1995. Following major institutional exhibitions across Europe and Brazil, this exhibition concentrates on key questions shaping Tillmans’s practice today. Therefore, new photographs, videos, sculptures, and an expanded Truth Study Center anchor the exhibition.

The solo show traces how Tillmans’s visual language continues to shift over time. Meanwhile, his work remains grounded in lived experience and material reality. Consequently, political, sensual, and spiritual concerns remain inseparable from form. Thus, images operate between perception, systems, and feeling.
At the gallery’s center, untitled (2025) features massive industrial ropes and mirrored tables. Some ropes coil on the floor, while others rest elevated. Originally built for towing ships, these objects now reveal vulnerability. Therefore, scale and weight become metaphors for fragile infrastructures. Additionally, steel lifting loops introduce tension, endurance, and support. These materials enter a new Truth Study Center configuration. Here, texts and images expose how information forms belief. Consequently, reality appears unstable and continuously constructed.
Wolfgang Tillmans Artworks
Photocopy works extend Tillmans’s early experiments with simple tools. For example, Curled (2025) transforms scanned materials into abstract surfaces. Similarly, Panorama, left expands a 2006 image into monumental scale. Thus, machine traces become visible and expressive. Smudges, lines, and shadows gain graphic presence.

Memorial for the Victims of Organized Religions reappears as a temporary abstract monument. However, its title alone reveals meaning. Subtle disruptions fracture the rigid grid. Therefore, authority appears fragile rather than absolute. Two recent videos expand Tillmans’s engagement with sound and motion. Wild Carrot pairs close observation with live music. Meanwhile, Travelling Camera maps hidden electronic interiors as landscapes. Consequently, technology merges with memory, matter, and time.
The Birthplace of Wolfgang Tillmans
Photographs from a Remscheid metal factory reconnect the artist with his birthplace. Because labor, machinery, and molten steel dominate these images, industry becomes intimate. Thus, permanence gives way to transformation. Throughout the exhibition, Tillmans emphasizes material change and connection. Ultimately, his work affirms continuous renewal across images, bodies, and systems. Wolfgang Tillmans (b. 1968, Remscheid) studied in the United Kingdom and lives in Berlin and London. He currently serves as visiting professor at Beaux-Arts de Paris.
