Deconstructie
For Erris Huigens, a work begins not as an image but as an action. A gesture that extends into space and quietly reorganises how we experience it. Coming from derelict industrial buildings as his usual “canvas”, Huigens works with surfaces marked by time: walls that carry the slow accumulation of weather, use and neglect. The […]
Selected Poems
Fabio Viscogliosi’s Selected Poems appear in black and white, their primordial state, in a deliberately bare presentation. We are invited to join the artist in an intimate space: the source of his imagery, where things softly begin to take form. Here, Fabio shows his world as it is: open and unguarded, where his drawings, paintings, […]
Masaje Scanner
“Masaje Scanner” is the third in a series of massages that Idoia Zabaleta began in 2017 with “Masaje de texto” and continued in 2021 with “Pupa, pupita, pupila. Un masaje de la visión”. On 20 May 2023, she inaugurated this piece, which was conceived for the Atoi space (Bilbao), in her first exhibition, coinciding with […]
Images
The last time I was in Tanya’s studio, she read the following quote from Guy Debord’s 1967 canonical work, “Society of the Spectacle,” to me: “The spectacle is capital accumulated to the point that it becomes images.” Nearly 60 years later, with social media having wrapped its tentacles around every part of the world, it’s […]
nineteeneightyseven
What happens before anything happens. nineteeneightyseven turns toward that suspended, pre-human interval where matter hasn’t yet committed, where form is still negotiating its own arrival, where time has not yet stepped forward. The year preceding the artist’s birth becomes a lens, a way of examining the world as pure potential. Pacelli engages this territory with […]
Pain of Pleasure
Pain of Pleasure Text by Domenico de Chirico In Western thought, pleasure has always been conceived as a positive, compensatory, at times domesticated experience — one capable of offering a brief reprieve from the sense of emptiness. Yet each time pleasure asserts itself, it also reveals its own negation. There is no pleasure without risk, […]
NECKWREATH
In her solo exhibition NECKWREATH, Tysse explores the delicate threshold between support and constraint. Through sculpture, drawing, and textile, she reconfigures garments such as the liturgical ruff and the corset into new sculptural work, regarding them as prosthetic extensions of both inner and outer structures. The clerical collar– the ruff– is said to symbolize the […]
Appendage
Emil Walde moves at the intersection of sculpture and installation, between materiality and meaning. The starting point of his work is the industrially manufactured object – metal hooks, wires, screws, or technical components – whose original function he questions and transfers into new aesthetic and spatial contexts. At the core of Walde’s artistic practice lies […]
Hira Hira
Hira Hira ｜ Tenki Hiramatsu ｜6.11.25 — 20.12.25 “ A big man stands there — the owner — trying to place himself among the tables and chairs. Above the bar, the long glass cradles a sickly image: the owner, greenish, his features smudged, jaundiced and fat in his aquarium. On the other side, behind the […]
Collagen
Collagen is a valuable resource: the body’s most abundant protein. Amino acids are bound together in a triple helix forming an elastic structure that holds us together with a degree of pliancy, like a flexible filament woven through our skeletons and flesh. The word itself stems from the Greek for glue creation: kolla. The substance […]
