Opening: Friday, 5 December 2025, 6–9 pm

Meyer Riegger is pleased to announce Forecast Error, a new group exhibition taking place in the Karlsruhe gallery. The show features work by Nancy Dwyer, Sheila Hicks, Jordan Madlon, Susanne Paesler, Gunter Reski and Len Schweder.

Forecasting is a language of certainty, or at least the illusion of it. In finance and statistics, prediction models promise clarity, mapping futures through grids of data and probabilities. In art, few formal tools have signalled modernism’s break with tradition as forcefully as the grid – a structure that flattens space and rejects illusionistic depth. It resists development, even as artists endlessly reinvent it.

Yet markets fail and uncertainty remains. Forecast Error adopts this instability not as a limitation but as a generative productive logic. Unpredictability here is not chaos but a poetics of openness, a refusal of closure and perfection. Throughout the exhibition, this oscillation between order and openness manifests in grids, textiles and text that refuse neutrality, but instead search formal interruptions and the development of unfamiliar images.
