Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow is Agostino Iacurci’s third solo exhibition with Robert Grunenberg and his first in the gallery’s Kantstraße space.
The exhibition takes its title from Kurt Vonnegut’s 1953 short story, itself borrowing the words from Macbeth. In Vonnegut’s tale, a drug brings ageing to an end, forcing several generations to share the same apartment. Permanence becomes a question of space—a tension that runs throughout the exhibition.
The show brings together twenty-one untitled paintings centred on still life and the domestic interior. Familiar objects—vases, fruit, flowers, chairs and tables—are transformed through shifts in scale, colour and perspective. Landscape gives way to the room, while everyday objects acquire an ambiguous, almost monumental presence.
Colour remains central to Iacurci’s practice. Dense, matte surfaces combine references ranging from Roman ornament and mythology to Futurism, postmodern design and contemporary visual culture. Painting, sculpture, installation and architecture are treated as elements of a shared visual language.
A site-specific wall painting extends the works throughout the gallery. Fields of pink, green, orange and yellow divide the rooms into wings and perspectival spaces, creating a single environment in which paintings, objects and architecture overlap. The wall is no longer simply a support for the image, but becomes part of it.
