Every January, Condo London takes place across the capital, offering a vibrant snapshot of art from around the world to alleviate the winter gloom. From 17 January – 14 February 2026, 23 London spaces will be hosting exhibitions by 27 visiting galleries – from Mexico City to Mumbai – together creating an international festival celebrating art, dialogue and community. Eleven London gallerists tell us why they’re excited about their guest shows.
Nicoletti hosts Magician Space (Beijing)

‘We’re excited to host Magician Space, with whom we had the opportunity to collaborate in the past with one of our represented artist showing in Beijing in 2024. We admire their programme and curatorial rigour, and we look forward to present a dialogue between Inès di Folco Jemni and Yasmine Yuang Lang, exploring themes of exile and migration from two different perspectives – North Africa and the Caribbean for di Folco Jemni, and China for Huang. A highlight will be Huang’s film Lake I Confess / Together We Confess (2025) – a mesmerising eight-minute take on the surface of a lake in the former Yugoslavia layered with voices discussing spomeniks – space-age abstract WWII monuments – through which the artist explores the interplay between economic migration, recreational tourism and past geopolitical conflicts.’ Camille Houzé, Nicoletti
Phillida Reid hosts kurimanzutto (Mexico City/New York) and CORPUS (Cambridge)

‘We’re delighted to be hosting kurimanzutto and CORPUS, with each of us showcasing the work of a single artist. It is enriching to be able to use the special situation that Condo offers to share space with galleries close to home and further afield; newly established (CORPUS opened in 2025) and long-esteemed. CORPUS is a new platform for contemporary art outside the capital. Their presentation of Scottish painter Richard Walker comes off the back of a December solo exhibition. kurimanzutto’s rigorous, idiosyncratic, poetic, artist-centred approach will be well represented by their presentation of recent works by Mexican painter Roberto Gil de Montes. We are presenting Berlin-based artist Monilola Olayemi Ilupeju’s first showing in London, consisting of new compositions on birch bark and cowhide.’ Phillida Reid
Sadie Coles HQ hosts Sans titre (Paris)

‘We follow the aesthetics of Marie Madec’s unique and unexpected programme at Sans titre and try to see her shows in Paris. The collaborative presentation for Condo London reflects our curiosity and conversations. Zuzanna Czebatul’s giant inflatable ecstasy pill sculpture is a playful nod to nightlife culture, themes similarly explored in a new wall-based sculpture by South African artist Dada Khanyisa. These will sit alongside a group of polaroids by Jill Westwood that document London’s underground scene in the 1980s, last seen in Tate Britain’s ‘Women in Revolt!’ a few years ago, so it’s wonderful to see it again with Sans titre.’ Sadie Coles
Emalin hosts Peter Freeman, Inc. (New York)

‘We’re excited to be hosting Peter Freeman, Inc. at Condo, bringing Dan Flavin’s fluorescent works into dialogue with Anna Clegg’s paintings, and opening a cross-generational exchange shaped by the accessible technologies of their respective moments.’ Mathilde Labuthie, Emalin

‘This invitation came from a longstanding fascination – bordering on obsession – with [New York fashion-art collective] Women’s History Museum. I have been avidly following them for years, but two recent solo exhibitions in New York reaffirmed my curiosity in how they utilize the visual and material culture of fashion and its methods of production to consider the complex relationships between value, labour and femininity. Not to mention that, as a gallery, we have a strong sense of alignment with Company.’ Antonia Marsh, Soft Opening
Union Pacific hosts ATHR (Jeddah)

‘After visiting Saudi Arabia for the Islamic Arts Biennale in January 2025, I was struck by the ambition and cultural vitality of the region, which made collaboration feel both timely and necessary. This exhibition brings together Basmah Falemban, whose practice moves between Saudi Arabia and London, with new works by London-based Nigerian artist Jamiu Agboke, and India-born American artist Soumya Netrabile, creating a dialogue shaped by movement, geography and shared momentum.’ Grace Schofield, Union Pacific
Ginny on Frederick hosts City Gallery Wien (Vienna)

‘I have admired the work Antonia has been doing for a long time. Pairing Albert Dietrich with Sophie Giraux from Ginny on Frederick is extremely exciting, marking new positions for both within the London scene. The meeting of Dietrich’s sculptures with Giraux’s cast-rubber works makes for a show that invites its viewers to consider how objects themselves can sometimes speak in almost mysterious ways.’ Freddie Powell, Ginny on Frederick
Public Gallery hosts Proyectos Ultravioleta (Guatemala City)
Hellen Ascoli, Traducción Suave X y E / Soft Translation X and E, 2025. Woven cotton bands, kinetic components, wood, 96.5 x 62.2 cm. Courtesy: the artist and Proyectos Ultravioleta, Guatemala City
‘We’ve long admired the programme at Proyectos Ultravioleta, so Condo seemed like the perfect opportunity to collaborate on an exhibition together, one that explores the dialogues between our artists and theirs. We’re also hosting a gallery talk with Hellen Ascoli and Wells Fray-Smith on Monday the 19th, concerning Hellen’s practice, the recent Barbican exhibition “Unravel” co-curated by Wells, and how the logic of fibre-based art might invite a reconsideration of spatial, temporal and social infrastructures.’ Nicole Estilo Kaiser, Public Gallery
The Sunday Painter hosts Jhaveri Contemporary (Mumbai) and Kendall Koppe (Glasgow)

‘We’re really excited to host Jhaveri Contemporary and Kendall Koppe this year – two galleries whose programmes we admire. Both are showing exciting presentations in our upper space. These collaborations feel particularly meaningful: we share an artist with Jhaveri Contemporary, and this marks our second time hosting Kendall Koppe for Condo, allowing us to deepen these relationships and build on our ongoing dialogue.’ Lisa Modiano, The Sunday Painter
Maureen Paley hosts Gordon Robichau (New York)

‘It’s an honour to host Gordon Robichaux gallery with Agosto Machado – a Chinese-Spanish-Filipino-American performance artist, activist, archivist, muse, caretaker and friend to countless celebrated and underground visual and performing artists. He has been a vital participant and witness to cultural and creative life in New York since the early 1960s, from art, theatre, performance and film to social and political counterculture and the dawn of the gay liberation movement. As part of a cohort of queer revolutionaries, including Marsha P. Johnson, Thomas Lanigan-Schmidt, and Sylvia Rivera, Machado participated in the Stonewall Rebellion. He will also be included in the Whitney Biennial later this year.’ Maureen Paley

‘We’re excited to participate in Condo London again this year and host Kayokoyuki, presenting works by artist Kazuki Matsushita in the UK for the first time. Matsushita will present a new body of paintings that extends his inquiry into language as a physical and political apparatus. The exhibition originates in two seemingly distant yet entangled concerns: the atmosphere of Christmas and the increasing presence of bears in Japan’s urban areas. As encounters between humans and bears escalate, Matsushita reflects on the uneasy thresholds between protection and extermination, mastery and submission, birth and absurdity.’ Meli Ulkumen, Arcadia Missa
Condo London 2026, 17 January – 14 February 2026.
