Sabine Mirlesse
Geomancy etymologically refers to divination of the earth but finds its practical manifestation in many forms, from dowsing to the way a handful of soil falls to the ground. In this new exhibition, following years of ephemeral monumental installations in and activated by the landscape, Sabine Mirlesse invites us to consider what the “mancy” of geomancy could truly signify – what it means to divine from the earth, or rather to read it. Through a series of sculptures and photographs all made with landscape reading in mind, Mirlesse proposes a set of instruments to arrive at the oracular and the human desire to make manifest something that is otherwise invisible, through forms inspired by etymologies and poetics.
Personal exhibition by Sabine Mirlesse

The gallery
Since its establishment in 1991, the Andréhn-Schiptjenko gallery has always been committed to working on the international stage and representing emerging and established contemporary artists from around the world in the long term. They work with painting, sculpture, photography, film, and digital media, producing installations, performances, and site-specific works.
For over thirty years, the gallery has organized exhibitions that have made an impact in the Nordic countries, successfully launching the careers of Scandinavian artists such as Cajsa von Zeipel, Gunnel Wåhlstrand, Annika Elisabeth von Hausswolff, and Matts Leiderstam. It has also provided artists like Uta Barth, Cecilia Bengolea, José León Cerrillo, Martín Soto Climent, Ridley Howard, Tony Matelli, and Xavier Veilhan with their first solo exhibitions in Europe or Scandinavia. The gallery's program also includes significant artists who have left their mark on art history, such as Siri Derkert, a pioneering modernist whose work continues to influence new generations of artists, and Julio Le Parc, a central figure in the Op-art movement.
The artists represented by the gallery are regularly featured in major international contexts. Recent exhibitions by gallery-represented artists include Uta Barth's major exhibition at the Getty Museum (2022), Annika Elisabeth von Hausswolff's extensive retrospective at the Moderna Museet in Stockholm and Malmö (2021-2022), and Cecilia Bengolea's performance and presentation at MUDAM in Luxembourg (2022). Jacob Dahlgren, Annika Elisabeth von Hausswolff, Siobhán Hapaska, and more recently Xavier Veilhan with Studio Venezia (2017) have all represented their respective countries at the Venice Biennale.
The gallery maintains privileged relationships with museums and collectors and also participates in projects in public spaces. In order to expand its international reach and host collaborative and interdisciplinary projects, a second space opened in Paris in spring 2019, allowing for a closer relationship with the gallery's international network. In the summer of 2022, the Parisian gallery moved to a new spacious venue, enabling the artists represented by the gallery to present ambitious exhibitions.
Andréhn-Schiptjenko has also been participating in international art fairs since the mid-1990s - including The Armory Show, Art Basel, Material Art Fair Mexico City, and Paris+ by Art Basel, to name a few. The gallery is an active member of the Swedish National Association of Galleries, the Professional Committee of Art Galleries, the Gallery Climate Coalition, and the International Gallery Alliance. Since its inception in 1991, Andréhn-Schiptjenko has been led by its founders Ciléne Andréhn and Marina Schiptjenko.
