My Pearls Spilled Out Along the Way
The doors swung open, and in the darkened landscape, something luminous was plummeting downward at high speed. A figure appeared, clearly eager to find the pearls that were supposedly hidden somewhere there. They wanted to grow on their own and migrated strangely; it was quite difficult to find them. But that didn’t change the fact […]
HJEMSØGT
The exhibition HJEMSØGT (eng. Haunted) brings together six artists’ perspectives on the concept of haunting. It creates a space where different artistic practices enter into dialogue about what cannot be seen, but can clearly be felt – through intuition, a sixth sense, or something else entirely. The exhibition explores how ghosts manifest in our lives. […]
Remains — The Alchemy of Lost Memory
Remains – The Alchemy of Lost Memory is an exhibition curated by Alberto Dapporto and hosted by Associazione Barriera, on the occasion of the sixteenth edition of Mirror Project. The show is a reflection on time as it wears away, on matter as it transforms, and on the fragile trace humanity leaves behind. The exhibition […]
WHEN THE FEED ENDS
The present is hyperconnected and submerged in a constant rain of data. Technology is pervasive, radically intimate. It is no longer outside us, it lives beneath our skin. The post-internet condition is a broad dimension that bears witness to a system of cultural production and dissemination which James Bridle describes as overflow, an unregulated, overwhelming […]
Un secreto se apaga entre mis manos
Intertwined in improbable poses, the bodies of Amparo Viau unwind through the exhibition space in a seamless, continuous path: brazen in returning the viewer’s gaze, they engage in the most unlikely contortions. Their feats are hosted on a single 40-meter-long sheet of paper that guides the visitor into a gradual immersion in the artist’s dreamlike […]

The Rite of Spring
Folk traditions have dug their claws deep into the fabric of the cultural landscape and into our very beings. They survive in patterns of behavior, gestures, rituals, power structures, and fairy-tale narratives that we pass down from generation to generation. The exhibition The Rite of Spring turns its attention to folklore as a collection of […]
Rites of Affection
Karim Boumjimar’s solo exhibition brings together a striking selection of ceramic sculptures and large-scale drawings that pulse with ritualistic and sensual intensity. Completing the show is a lyrical video piece premiering at Malva. Boumjimar’s practice delves into what it means to be human: the social boundaries and hierarchies that shape us, the experiences of marginalised […]
Civilization Series
“Upon entering the archaeology exhibition at the Lithuanian National Museum, I leave my fur coat in the cloakroom. I am interested in Stone Age vessels, which I want to photograph with my old Liubitel camera. I meet archaeologist Dalia Ostrauskienė, who has promised to introduce me to Stone Age artefacts. First, she leads me to […]
W setup? (ignore my bird)
Vilém Flusser describes the development of communication technologies as a shift toward ever greater abstraction: starting from direct experience of nature, first images, then written signs, and finally the logical structures of digital systems transformed the representation of reality. At the same time, digitality does not signify a state of detachment from matter; its reality […]
