Jana Euler’s exhibition Oilopa, a contraction of the terms Oil (painting) and Europa, unfolds into a semi-utopian land, reversing the ascendant flows of financial figures while extrapolating on cycles of surplus and vacuity.
Over two decades, German artist Jana Euler (b. 1982, Friedberg) has produced a diverse though consistent body of work that diagrams painting’s social, material, and historical bases. This monographic exhibition at WIELS during summer 2024 is an invitation to the artist to renew their relationship, following Euler’s earlier involvement in various capacities such as the residency programme in 2012, the thematic exhibition Residue in 2013, or her specific contribution for The Absent Museum in 2017.
