Booth 1C16 · West Bund, Shanghai
🗓 10 – 15 November 2026
WIZARD Gallery will not be taking part in West Bund Art & Design 2026 in Shanghai.
All seventeen works in our presentation were approved by the Shanghai Municipal Administration of Culture and Tourism on 30 September. On 5 November, a few days before the opening, the fair informed us that the same authority had decided that the seven works by Diango Hernández could not be exhibited. The decision followed by anonymous reports.
We asked which statements were concerned and whether the decision could be reviewed. We were told that it was final.
As Diango’s works were central to the project, we decided to withdraw. @diango.hernandez
We believe in projects carefully prepared together with our artists. We would simply like to understand what happened and on what basis the decision was taken.
At booth 1C16, Diango Hernández presents new paintings from his Olaismo language — including the 2026 Pools and Window with boy — alongside Parole II (2026), from his first series of marble sculptures, presented in his current solo exhibition Parole in Milan. Abdelkader Benchamma, fresh from his solo presentation Pareidolia at Artissima, brings a new work in ink on canvas that turns drawing into a field of matter and energy. Attila Szűcs shows Nomads (2026), a large-scale canvas of suspended, luminous figures; Danilo Buccella presents oils where landscape and memory blur into dreamlike scenes; and Bruna Esposito’s Plumb-line with a white Pearl (2003) condenses her long investigation into matter, transformation and time into a single, precise gesture.
