\u00a0<\/p>\n

Every January, Condo London<\/a> takes place across the capital, offering a vibrant snapshot of art from around the world to alleviate the winter gloom. From 17 January \u2013 14 February 2026, 23 London spaces will be hosting exhibitions by 27 visiting galleries \u2013 from Mexico City to Mumbai \u2013 together creating an international festival celebrating art, dialogue and community. Eleven London gallerists tell us why they\u2019re excited about their guest shows.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018We\u2019re 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 In\u00e8s di Folco Jemni and Yasmine Yuang Lang, exploring themes of exile and migration from two different perspectives \u2013 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) \u2013 a mesmerising eight-minute take on the surface of a lake in the former Yugoslavia layered with voices discussing spomeniks \u2013 space-age abstract WWII monuments \u2013 through which the artist explores the interplay between economic migration, recreational tourism and past geopolitical conflicts.\u2019\u00a0Camille Houz\u00e9,\u00a0Nicoletti<\/p>\n

\u2018We\u2019re 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.\u00a0CORPUS 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\u2019s rigorous, idiosyncratic, poetic, artist-centred approach will be well represented by their presentation of recent works by Mexican painter Roberto Gil de Montes.\u00a0We are presenting Berlin-based artist Monilola Olayemi Ilupeju\u2019s first showing in London, consisting of new compositions on birch bark and cowhide.\u2019\u00a0Phillida Reid<\/p>\n

\u2018We follow the aesthetics of Marie\u00a0Madec\u2019s\u00a0unique and unexpected programme at Sans titre and try to see\u00a0her\u00a0shows in Paris. The collaborative presentation\u00a0for Condo London reflects our curiosity and conversations.\u00a0Zuzanna Czebatul\u2019s 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\u2019s underground scene in the 1980s, last seen in Tate Britain\u2019s \u2018Women in Revolt!\u2019\u00a0a few years ago, so it\u2019s wonderful to see it again with Sans titre.’ Sadie Coles<\/p>\n

\u2018We\u2019re excited to be hosting Peter Freeman, Inc. at Condo, bringing Dan Flavin\u2019s fluorescent works into dialogue with Anna Clegg\u2019s paintings, and opening a cross-generational exchange shaped by the accessible technologies of their respective moments.\u2019\u00a0Mathilde Labuthie, Emalin<\/p>\n

\u2018This invitation came from a longstanding fascination \u2013 bordering on obsession \u2013 with [New York fashion-art collective] Women\u2019s 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.\u2019 Antonia Marsh, Soft\u00a0Opening<\/p>\n

\u2018After 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.\u2019 Grace Schofield, Union Pacific<\/p>\n

\u2018I 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\u2019s sculptures with Giraux\u2019s cast-rubber works makes for a show that invites its viewers to consider how objects themselves can sometimes speak in almost mysterious ways.\u2019 Freddie\u00a0Powell, Ginny on Frederick<\/p>\n

\u2018We\u2019ve 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\u2019re also hosting a gallery talk with Hellen Ascoli and Wells Fray-Smith on Monday the 19th, concerning Hellen\u2019s practice, the recent Barbican exhibition \u201cUnravel\u201d co-curated by Wells, and how the logic of fibre-based art might invite a reconsideration of spatial, temporal and social infrastructures.\u2019 Nicole Estilo Kaiser, Public Gallery<\/p>\n

\u2018We\u2019re really excited to host Jhaveri Contemporary and Kendall Koppe this year \u2013 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.\u2019 Lisa Modiano, The\u00a0Sunday Painter<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s an honour to host Gordon Robichaux gallery with Agosto Machado \u2013 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.\u2019 Maureen Paley<\/p>\n

\u2018We\u2019re 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\u2019s 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.\u2019 Meli Ulkumen, Arcadia Missa<\/p>\n
