The Weight of Absence

May 3 — July 12, 2025

Two works confront the viewer with what remains after departure — landscapes emptied of figures, skies heavy with unnamed longing. Drawn from the Smithsonian and Europeana archives, these pieces have never been shown together until now.

About the Gallery

A space for the unfamiliar.

NOIR HAUS is an independent contemporary art gallery dedicated to emerging and mid-career artists working at the edges of convention. Founded in 2019, our program centres on painting, sculpture, photography, and site-specific installation.

We believe art should challenge, provoke, and quiet the mind in equal measure.
