SpazioA is proud to present, Saturday September 27, 2025, Esther Kläs fifth solo show at the gallery Fitting, what.

What if laughter (exhilarating expulsion of noise; mostly joy, at times, relief), what is rather wild (nature, unexpected combinations, unthinkable utterances, what is easily overlooked), who should (I) have asked (in case there were an authority or expert or confidant or someone who would have told me whatever this would have been, and if it could have made a difference to the result. It remains unknown), what if I had never (we wouldn’t be talking about it), what is the right moment (a brief, indefinite interval of time), what is doing everything different, and what is not finding one’s place (wondering and wandering), what if it changed (simple past tense and past participle of change), what if courage were my lover (heart emoji), what are the consequences of peace, what if we could speak water (no separation between us, them, and it), what is taking time (loving), and what if all categories fail.

For her exhibition at SpazioA – titled Fitting, what – the artist brings together sculptures, wall installations, and video. She continues asking questions, posing and proposing, and leaves the viewer and her pieces space. Kläs has a deep attachment to the desire to cultivate free moving thoughts and the courage to hold the space where words cease to exist.
