almir mavignier. democracy of dots
from November 21, 2026 to June 20, 2027
Opening: Friday, November 20, 2026, 6 pm
The exhibition invites visitors into a visual world composed of the smallest shimmering elements: dots. In his paintings and graphic works, Almir Mavignier (1925–2018) creates fascinating compositions that seem to vibrate and shimmer depending on the viewer’s distance and angle of vision.
Born in Brazil, the artist, graphic designer and poster designer is regarded as one of the most important representatives of Concrete Art and Op Art. He spent formative years at the Ulm School of Design (Hochschule für Gestaltung Ulm), where he developed a distinctive visual language that brings art and design together in a unique way.
The exhibition “almir mavignier. democracy of dots” brings together works from different periods of Mavignier’s career. It traces his development towards his iconic dot paintings while also revealing the diversity of his oeuvre—from optically vibrant compositions to graphic works structured around broad areas of colour and poster designs.
The kunsthalle weishaupt is operated in cooperation with the city of Ulm and is supported by the Museum Ulm.
