Bartha_contemporary is pleased to present I WISH YOU WELL, showcasing new works by Mike Meiré from his ongoing 'Eternal News Series'. In this body of work, the artist transforms daily newspapers, symbols of the fleeting and disposable, into cast reliefs in bronze and nickel silver.

The fragile structures of crumpled and worn pages are fossilised into gleaming surfaces that appear at once like archaeological fragments and monumental objects. In doing so, Meiré exposes the paradox of our information culture: headlines that disappear within hours are re-encountered here as enduring artefacts.

I WISH YOU WELL reflects on the current state of the world, marked by social crises and geopolitical conflict, while at the same time unfolding as a gesture of resilience.
