I have a solution now

this is the code if anyone needs it:

  <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
    <?php
    $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
    $today = date('Ymd');

    $past_args = array(
        'paged' => $paged,
        'posts_per_page' => -1,
        'post_type' => 'exhibition',
        'meta_query' => array (
            array (
                'key' => 'ex_start',
                'value' => $today,
                'compare' => '<',
                'type' => 'DATE'
            )
        ),
        'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
        'order' => 'DESC'                   
    );
    query_posts( $past_args );
    ?> 

    <!-- PAST EXHIBITIONS -->
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<?php   
    $date = get_field('ex_start');
    $past_year = DateTime::createFromFormat('Ymd', $date);
    $year = $past_year->format('Y');

    if ($year !== $today) { ?>
        <h2><?php echo $year; ?></h2>
    <?php } ?>
    <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
    <?php $today = $year; ?>

<?php
echo "<p><br /></p>";
?>

<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
