About this show

Between Aesthetics and Alarm – A Look at “A23A – The World’s Largest Iceberg”
Curated by Judith Sturm, the exhibition takes place from August 1 to 15, 2025, at Galeria HMH in Port Andratx, Mallorca. This summer, the gallery becomes the stage for an unusual and moving art event: Mail Art Open Call No. 1 – A23A. This initiative is not only an aesthetic experiment, but also a poetic-political statement on the climate crisis.
How does an iceberg speak? And what does it tell us about the world we live in?
Speaking Icebergish is not a conventional art show. It is a global body of resonance – a walkable metaphor for transformation and fragility, condensed in the form of the iceberg A23A, the largest of its kind. With over 400 paper-based artworks from 36 countries, the exhibition gathers a silent yet powerful polyphonic voice on the climate crisis.
What began as an open call for mail art has evolved into an international dialogue about loss, hope, and collective responsibility. Each equilateral triangle, every drawing, collage, or poetic note becomes a fragment of this new vocabulary of empathy.
A package from Iran, containing over 150 contributions – many by children, but also by established artists – vividly illustrates the reach and depth of this initiative. It shows that art knows no borders. It transcends them, even under the most difficult conditions.
Framed by large-scale oil paintings by Rolf Ohst and icy visions by the desert painter Carsten Westphal, the exhibition spans an aesthetic field between glacial monumentality and delicate, handwritten messages on paper.
