Deborah Poynton presents Folly, her first institutional solo show in Germany, at Haus am Lützowplatz. Curated by Marc Wellmann, in association with the Drents Museum, the exhibition plays with 'traditions of genre painting in the context of the present'.

Deborah Poynton exhibits in Unlimited, an exhibition of self-portraits drawn from the Drents Museum's collection. Curated by Sam Drukker, the show is aimed at providing a 'glimpse into the artist's mind'. 

Ian Grose, Moshekwa Langa and Deborah Poynton feature in I have made a place, Norval Foundation's group show inspired by David Foster Wallace's notion that, 'our endless and impossible journey toward home is in fact our home.'

Beyond Belief, Deborah Poynton's first museum exhibition in Europe, inhabits the Abbey Church of the Drents Museum, an institution with a focus on contemporary realism. Joined by a catalogue, the show includes more than a decade’s painting.

Paintings from Deborah Poynton's Arcadia body of work are showing in the 13th edition of the Sharjah Biennial, curated by Christine Tohmé under the title Tamawuj.

Penny Siopis, Deborah Poynton, Zander Blom and Ian Grose were included in the group show Home Truths: Domestic Interiors in South Africa, curated by Michael Godby, at the Iziko South African National Gallery.
