Christina Kruse, the New York-based artist whose practice navigates the shifting terrain of value, perception, and collective meaning, opens her latest solo exhibition Field Agents this April 2nd, 2026 at New Discretions. Curated by Tamar Dresdner, the exhibition unfolds as a study in instability – where systems of belief are unsettled and reassembled in response to a world in flux. Working across sculpture, wall relief, and collage, Kruse positions negotiation not as resolution, but as a condition of existence – an ongoing recalibration between competing truths.
Bruchlinien (Fault Lines), 2026
Der Erbe (The Heir), 2026
Echoing Constantin Brancusi’s reflection – “To see far is one thing, going there is another” – the exhibition considers the space between intention and action, and how systems evolve under pressure. In this body of work, Kruse asks a quietly urgent question: in an era of fragmentation, do shared values still exist – or are they continuously rewritten through the very act of living?
Der Porter (The Porter), 2024
Bedingter Anspruch (Contingent Claim), 2026
Working within a lineage that includes Constructivism and Cubism, Kruse does not reject structure outright. Instead, she reveals its fragility – treating tradition as a grid that can be bent, stressed, and rewritten. Not a foundation to stand on, but one to test. In this sense, Field Agents operates less as an exhibition and more as a diagnostic: a reading of a world where distinctions between truth and fabrication, stability and collapse, are no longer easily held apart.
Der Vermesser (The Surveyor), 2024
Field Agents marks Christina’s third solo sculptural presentation in New York. Rather than offering clarity, Kruse leaves us with a more difficult proposition: if every system is already in flux, what exactly are we choosing to hold in place – and why?
