For our 2026 Summer Showcase, David Krut Arts brings together a selection of works from the David Krut Archive in a changing exhibition that will unfold from November through January. Presented in a series of rotations, the showcase celebrates the artists with whom we have collaborated through the David Krut Workshop and our extended Projects, while exploring the colours, imagery and sensations we associate with summer.
The first iteration of Vacation Rotation takes colour as its starting point: a universal language capable of evoking a place, a memory or a feeling. From vibrant street scenes and desert flowers to cool forests, lush tropics, hazy light and sun-warmed landscapes, the works capture different interpretations of the season. Each artist approaches these familiar references in their own way, translating the world around them into distinct visual experiences.
At its heart, Vacation Rotation is also a celebration of anticipation and the small rituals that give shape to our lives. The end of the working day, the arrival of the weekend or the promise of a holiday offer moments of pause and possibility. These recurring intervals provide something to look forward to, sustaining us through the more routine and, at times, less colourful stretches of everyday life. As the saying goes, “It requires spade work to have a garden.”
Like summer itself, the exhibition is not static. Works will change throughout the duration of the exhibition, offering new combinations, perspectives and discoveries with each rotation. Visitors are invited to return, spend time with the selection and find their own version of a summer scene. After all, summer means something different to everyone.
