Alexandra Grant Opens First Solo German Museum Show in Nuremberg

The exhibition converts texts by eight women into large printed then overpainted paper triptychs and drew wide attention when Keanu Reeves attended the opening.

Overview

  • Grant opened the solo exhibition at the Neues Museum Nürnberg on Thursday evening, presenting eight new large-format works made for the city.
  • Each work is made from three oversized paper sheets that were designed on a computer, printed with text and finished with strongly diluted acrylic paint.
  • The project centers female authorship across centuries, including a piece based on Christina Ebner’s 1346 Engelthaler Schwesternbuch and four works tied to authors from Nuremberg.
  • Grant personally transported at least one triptych by train from Berlin in a snowboard bag, a detail she said surprised other passengers.
  • The show is on view through October 11, 2026, and the opening night drew notable public and media attention after Keanu Reeves attended and the museum offered related events such as an English-language artist talk.
