CAN Ibiza 2026

Ruttkowski;68 is pleased to present a duo exhibition by Dennis Buck (b. 1989, Ulm, DE) and Stefan Strumbel (b. 1979, Offenburg, DE) at this years edition of CAN Ibiza.

Bringing together a curated selection of international galleries, CAN Ibiza continues to position the island as a dynamic meeting point for contemporary art and cultural exchange.

In Even Softer Problems, Buck continues his exploration of painting as an embodied form, where surface, material, and gesture destabilize fixed structures of meaning. The grid remains as an anchor — softened and fragmented — balancing structure and dissolution. His titles — small poems of personal memories — echo this approach, deepening the narrative beyond the visual.

In Namaste Deutschland, Strumbel reconfigures the German national symbol of the eagle, positioning this emblem of authority within a series of yoga poses. The hardness of bronze reaches toward a softened gesture, allowing the series of sculptures to serve as an invitation for introspection and inner stillness.

Together, the artists propose a subtle shift from ridgity toward reflection, where form and meaning begin to loosen and unfold.
