Following the announcement of Karola Braga as Art Senses Artist of the Year 2026, the mentee met with Alexander Groves, one part of mentor duo A.A.Murakami, on the occasion of their exhibition on view in Barcelona.
Within A.A.Murakami’s installation Beyond the Horizon, where amorphous, fog-filled bubbles emerge and dissolve mid-air, mentor and mentee reflected on the fleeting nature of their respective sensory practices.
Project by Therme Art
Art Senses is created by Therme Art, an international cultural initiative advancing Therme Group’s mission to promote wellbeing. In close collaboration with Therme Group, whose expertise in innovative environments and wellbeing infrastructures informs the programme’s vision, Therme Art supports and develops artistic and cultural experiences that generate positive social impact.
In addition to funding, mentorship, visibility, technical resources and support, Therme Art offers the possibility for projects developed within Art Senses to be realised permanently at Therme Group’s facilities worldwide, extending the artistic dialogue from the studio and exhibition context into lived, public environments that embody the programme’s curatorial aims.
