The Arrels exhibition at La Lonja de Palma has already become one of Mallorca’s major cultural highlights of 2026. German artist Katharina Grosse, an internationally acclaimed figure in contemporary art, transforms this iconic Gothic building into a spectacular immersive installation that will be open to visitors until January 31, 2027.
Co-produced by the Govern de les Illes Balears and Es Baluard Museu d’Art Contemporani de Palma, Arrels offers a unique artistic experience in one of the city’s most visited heritage spaces.
What is Arrels, the new exhibition at La Lonja de Palma?
The Arrels exhibition transforms the interior of La Lonja de Palma into an immersive landscape where painting, architecture and nature merge.
Katharina Grosse’s intervention includes mounds of earth and a large uprooted tree, partially buried and transformed through colour to create a visual and sensory experience that completely alters the perception of the space.
Known for taking painting beyond the traditional canvas, the artist uses colour as a tool to activate historic architecture and create an enveloping experience that invites visitors to explore the work from multiple perspectives.
