Galerie Isabella Bortolozzi opens Orphan Parade, a solo exhibition by Steve Reinke, on Saturday 14 November 2026, 6–9pm. The opening is free and open to everyone. The show runs until 16 January 2027.
Reinke, born in Canada in 1963 and based in Chicago, is one of the best-known names in artists' video. For more than thirty years he has made short, essayistic videos in which a deadpan voice-over talks about desire, the body, philosophy and death. His early project The Hundred Videos made his name. Since then his work has been shown at festivals such as Rotterdam and Oberhausen and in museums including mumok in Vienna, which gave him the solo show Butter in 2020. He teaches at Northwestern University. This is his first solo exhibition at Bortolozzi since The Genital is Superfluous in 2016.
What to expect
The gallery had not published details of the works at the time of writing, so the opening is the first chance to see what Orphan Parade contains. If it includes video, as most of Reinke's shows do, plan time to watch: his pieces are built around the voice-over and only make sense from start to finish.
