Coalescence: Happenstance With All Due Intent , Shimmer, Rotterdam

Curated by Paul O’Neill and Shimmer.

Opening Saturday 28 June 2025, 5 - 7pm

Coalescence: Happenstance With All Due Intent is a durational, accumulative and evolving exhibition-form featuring artists from all over the world to experiment with the exhibition format through collaboration, intervention, constellation and juxtaposition. Throughout the year, artists will respond to each other’s works, creating new pieces inspired by or adapting existing ones. Such actions turn the exhibition space into a dynamic environment where artists’ works merge into a collective assemblage. This exhibition challenges the boundaries of individuality and authorship, promoting a sense of cooperative and coalescent gathering.

Anne Tallentire, Bea MacMahon, Fergus Feehily, Inga Meldere, Katie Watchorn, Noor Abed, Ronan McCrea, Sarah Pierce, Suzanne Mooney, Tuukka Kaila Eduardo Padilha, Grace Weir, Ilke Gers, Isabel Nolan, Jaime Gili, Lawrence Weiner, Liam Gillick, Moosje M Goosen, Nina Canell, Walker & Walker and William McKeown
