The Freud Museum, London, presents The Sight of Something, a joint exhibition by Glenn Brown and Mathew Weir, exploring the significance of psychoanalysis in the artists’ practices. Sigmund Freud observed in his 1922 essay ‘Medusa’s Head’ that childhood terrors can be triggered by ‘the sight of something.’ British artists Brown and Weir explore the rich ambiguity of this phrase through a selection of drawings, paintings and sculptures in dialogue with objects and artefacts throughout the Freud Museum.

A central theme of this project is mark-making, most evident in drawing and the inscription of lines, which is connected to psychoanalysis through the act of uncovering traces of the past. Here, the act of drawing becomes a means of revealing and grappling with hidden or altered experiences. Brown and Weir’s images are never fixed or absolute; like memory they are constructed, layered and distorted – shaped as much by absence and forgetting as by what is seen and remembered.

A catalogue will accompany the exhibition with an essay by Darian Leader.

Works by Glenn Brown are featured in Insights Into the Inside: Nicaea, a group exhibition at Schloss Bruck | Museum Der Stadt Lienz. The exhibition brings together the work of around thirty artists to explore the inner messages, connectedness and hope that can be recognised and experienced through spiritual aspects of contemporary art. Centring around the coexistence of temporal and eternal forms, the exhibition draws on the Council of Nicaea, convened by Emperor Constantine exactly 1700 years ago, to explore the role and accessibility of images – in other words, a look inward.

Work by Giulia Andreani is included in the group exhibition Peintures fraîches in the Galerie du temps of the Louvre-Lens, a unique space in the museum which encourages dialogue between different artistic forms, technologies and temporalities. The exhibition invites viewers to journey through a ‘River of Time’, bringing together a selection of works which span over 5,000 years of art history. Within the presentation, Andreani’s painting Les Cafus (Europe et Cadmos), 2024, draws inspiration from archival documents to question history and its reception through time. Working in her distinctive palette of Payne’s Grey, Andreani reimagines two female miners, ‘cafus’, who worked underground in the area surrounding the Louvre-Lens, built as it is on a former mining site. Here, the presence and unseen strength of these women is reactivated.

The Brown Collection, London, presents The Laughing Stock of the Heartless Stars, an exhibition showcasing 70 diverse artworks by 28 artists over 500 years of Art History. Alongside these works, most of which have never been on public display, a new work by Glenn Brown is also on view. Curated by Brown and Edgar Laguinia, the exhibition explores humanity's relentless pursuit of significance in a universe without inherent meaning. Numerous works celebrate the beauty of nature, such as Henri Fantin-Latour's Roses Thé, 1874, while more contemporary works address environmental awareness and the transcience of nature. Brown's work skillfully confronts this intricate tension. A multitude of Brown's creations embody states of transition, decay, and the blurred line between artificial and organic forms.

The Brown Collection

In his paintings, sculptures and drawings, Glenn Brown confronts the history of art with a contemporary understanding of paint’s materiality and a barbed sense of colour. Numbered and signed by the artist, this Collector’s Edition treats the viewer to a close encounter with Brown’s eye-deceiving renderings of brushstrokes from sources between Sci-Fi and the Old Masters.
