Solo Exhibition: Built in Flow
Opening: February 5, 2026
Kunstlabor2, Dachauerstr. 90, Munich
Feb 5 - Feb 15, 2026
This practice moves across genres and surfaces, shaped by streets, studio sessions, and spaces in between. It does not settle into one form, but shifts with its surroundings, growing, bending, and reshaping itself depending on the surface, the space, and the moment. Sometimes it is bold on a public wall, sometimes soft and layered in the studio; there’s always something consistent running through: a sense of fluidity that stays, even when everything else changes.
In Built in Flow, mural-scale gestures meet intimate materials, paint, light, and fabric, entering the gallery not as separate worlds, but as extensions of one another. What begins outside does not stop at the wall; it continues indoors, inviting a slower, more attentive way of looking.
Every work carries a movement, shaped by place, by material, by feeling. The forms transform, but the flow remains.
The exhibition program will also include a tour on 14.02 between 14:00 - 16:00 through the exhibition, a site visit to my mural on the ground floor of Kunstlabor 2, and a visit to my studio on the third floor.
It is free of charge, and you can sign up here to participate.

A site-specific installation by Melike Kerpel
Nothing Hides Like Light is a site-specific installation in Munich exploring the interplay of visibility and invisibility. In a painted room, shifting light creates abstract forms, silhouettes, and subtle text that appear and disappear, offering a dynamic art experience that actively engages visitors.
The installation reflects on human presence, nature, and their connections, showing how perception shapes our understanding of space. Visitors encounter both physical and immaterial elements, revealing often unseen structures and relationships in everyday life. This unique light installation in Munich invites viewers to rediscover the boundaries of space and perception.
Eine ortsspezifische Installation von Melike Kerpel
Nothing Hides Like Light ist eine ortspezifische Installation in München, die das Zusammenspiel von Sichtbarkeit und Unsichtbarkeit erforscht. In einem bemalten Raum erzeugt wechselndes Licht abstrakte Formen, Silhouetten und subtile Texte, die erscheinen und wieder verschwinden. So entsteht ein dynamisches Kunsterlebnis, das Besucher*innen aktiv einbezieht.
Die Installation beschäftigt sich mit menschlicher Präsenz, Natur und ihren Verbindungen und zeigt, wie unsere Wahrnehmung das Verständnis von Raum prägt. Besucher*innen erleben sowohl physische als auch immaterielle Elemente, die oft unsichtbare Strukturen und Beziehungen im Alltag sichtbar machen. Dieses einzigartige Lichtkunstwerk in München lädt dazu ein, die Grenzen von Raum und Wahrnehmung neu zu entdecken.
