max goelitz is pleased to announce that the gallery will open a new location in Munich with a solo exhibition by the artist group Troika.
From September 2025, max goelitz will move into a new gallery space with an increased exhibition area of over 200 sqm at Maximiliansplatz 10 in Munich. The Luitpoldblock has a representative city center location with increased visibility. The building complex is characterized by a multidisciplinary community of art, music, fashion and gastronomy. In addition to numerous opportunities for interim cultural use and activation, the Luitpoldblock offers an ideal location for promoting exchange within the local art scene. This location is characterized by its proximity to auction houses, more galleries and the immediate vicinity to the Kunstareal and renowned museums.
Max Goelitz: “Munich and Berlin form the perfect synergy for us. The collectors and the critical and valuable exchange with the public in Munich have been essential in helping us shape our vision since the gallery was founded. In the first five years, we have created a strong basis for promoting international dialog, transdisciplinary approaches and artistic freedom. I would describe our approach as rather ‘old school’, especially when it comes to content orientation, the focus on long-term development of artists‘ careers and the gallery‘s self-image as a radically relevant place where the boundaries of art are pushed – but with a strong collaborative and partnership-based approach. Together with my growing team, we see the gallery not just as an exhibition space, but as a place for collaboration, production and discourse. Our new location stands for our conviction of what a gallery can be today.”
To inaugurate the new space, max goelitz presents the second solo exhibition of the London-based artist group Troika, whose new works explore the fragile boundaries between nature and construction, visibility and absence. deception island marks an arrival in unknown, shifting terrain – ecological, technological and symbolic – where extinct species, digital flora, and machine-mediated visions converge. Central to the presentation is the new series of works Out of Place, Out of Time (2025), in which generated landscapes meet the historical photographic process of the platinotype – a media field of tension between transience and duration. One of these works also shows the eponymous volcanic island, on which a now extinct Key Largo cactus improbably takes root against an Antarctic backdrop. The exhibition is complemented by the new sculptural series Ultraflora (2025) made from digitally captured pioneer plants and translated back into the tangible as delicate metal forms, as well as paintings from the series Forest Filled with Pines and Electronics, which were shown earlier this year in Troika‘s solo exhibition Pink Noise at the Langen Foundation in Neuss.
