Anousha Payne, Ushara
15.05 - 27.06.2026

Sperling presents Anousha Payne’s second exhibition in Munich, featuring a new collaboration with sound and performance artist Ushara. Expanding on Payne’s earlier exhibition at Sperling’s former Regerplatz space, the show combines sculpture, sound, and live performance to explore the ecology and psychology of the home. Inspired in part by a short story by Anne Duden as well as personal experiences, it unfolds a narrative of growing anxiety as a protagonist becomes trapped within her domestic space, shaped by encounters with non-human presences.
Payne’s practice moves between personal experience, fiction, and myth, using assemblage, found objects, and cast bronze to question material hierarchies and cultural values. Ushara's sound- and performance-based work adds poetry, field recordings, and bodily presence, intensifying the exhibition’s emotional and psychological atmosphere.

Sperling präsentiert Anousha Paynes zweite Ausstellung in München, mit einer neuen Zusammenarbeit mit der Sound- und Performancekünstlerin Ushara. Die Schau verbindet Skulptur, Klang und Live-Performance, um die Ökologie und Psychologie des häuslichen Raums zu untersuchen. Inspiriert unter anderem von einer Kurzgeschichte der Autorin Anne Duden sowie von persönlichen Erfahrungen entfaltet sich eine Erzählung zunehmender Anspannung, in der eine Protagonistin in ihrem eigenen Zuhause gefangen ist, geprägt durch Begegnungen mit nicht-menschlichen Wesen.
Paynes Praxis bewegt sich zwischen persönlicher Erfahrung, Fiktion und Mythos und nutzt Assemblage, gefundene Objekte und gegossene Bronze, um materielle Hierarchien und kulturelle Werte zu hinterfragen. Usharas klang- und performancebasierte Arbeit bringt Poesie, Feldaufnahmen und körperliche Präsenz ein und verdichtet die emotionale und psychologische Atmosphäre der Ausstellung.
