Derrière la luette
From the bottom of the sink to inside the body, from pipes to organs, Anastasia Simonin and Kazuo Yagi Marsden’s sculptures replay mechanisms of drainage and sanitation, revealing what flows through us as much as what we reject. The work displaces familiar situations and recompose them into ambiguous ensembles, where materials meet and disrupt their […]
Object of Devotion
rusty metal, radiant magenta shelves, 1980s gay porn, towering sculptures scraping the heavens, urinal dividers, textured ambient soundscapes, soft sinking mattresses Object of Devotion gathers a delicious mix of sculpture, sound, installation, and performance. The exhibition lingers on two artistic practices that are charged with material intensity, affect, and critical force. Here, matter is unravelled: […]
Ma petite Mimi,
Ma petite Mimi, Je ne appris par René que j’étais allée à Villers il y a 8 jours et tu as dû être surprise que je ne sois pas passée te voir. Je ne compte facilement les jours, j’espère J’étais accompagné et je n’étais pas libre. J’étais heureux de passer chez toi comme la fois précédente. Comment vas-tu? et […]
/p ɪ ˈ p ɛ t ə /
If you look at pictures tracing the evolution of Bugs Bunny, you’ll notice a considerable divergence between the late-1930s prototype and the modern rendering of 2010. Aesthetically, the previously short, pale and podgy rabbit with a pointed nose appears worlds apart from the tall and slender, silver-furred dandy with his crisp white chest and pointed […]
Shapeshifters
Shapeshifters Monika Grabuschnigg, Tobias Izsó, Sabina Knetlová, Oskar Rink, Dennis Scholl, Alexander Tinei Curator: Michal Stolárik The obsession with altering identity, appearance, or destiny has long defined the human condition. We gravitate towards myths of vampires, werewolves, and other creatures that transcend human boundaries—as if reality itself were inherently insufficient. It is not always an […]
ERASE / REWIND
“And then she was asleep, with silver tears running down her cheeks. Hall switched the car to auto-guide and put his arm around the girl. They purred softly up a hill, into tunknown countryside. Then, a blast of icy terror tore at Hall. He hit the braking stud — The road ended a hundred feet […]
If the Moon Had a Mouth It Would Swallow All the Fishes
Two winding serpents, a house-cloud, red rain falling like code. Across fields of white, circles appear as lights or moons, triangles as mountains or temples. Moving between pictogram and fable, Stephen Felton’s paintings seem to draw on the ritual imagery of ancient worlds. Yet their point of departure lies elsewhere: in the mystery of Renaissance […]
New Fog
New Fog brings together a constellation of works by Karlos Gil in which light, bodies and obsolete technologies emerge from an exhausted future. Taking the nocturnal city as both an image and a system, the exhibition explores how desire, commerce and technological memory continue to circulate after the infrastructures that produced them have begun to […]

They have exhibited at Bureaucracy Studies, Lausanne; Unit 5, Praz-Delavallade, Los Angeles, Iceberg Projects, Chicago; the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; Kunstverein Munich; and the MAK Center for Art and […]
Home Sweet Home
Home Sweet Home is a promise of peace, warmth, and safety – an idiomatic phrase that circulates through interiors like a spell, printed on plaques by the door, placed above the sofa, cut out of plywood and set on a dresser. Part decoration, part amulet. It is meant not only to adorn, but also to […]
