Through Invisible Walls
In an era where power manifests not only through laws or institutions but infiltrates material infrastructures and the invisible protocols of the digital, the work of Viktor Petrov and Anna-Lena Krause functions as a dual device of deconstruction. On one side, it exposes the mechanisms through which space and hierarchies are produced; on the […]
Ask Your Hands To Know The Things They Hold
Instead of looking at those who run the fastest, Helena Minginowicz looks at those who had to stop. She directs her attention to fatigue, indisposition, and intimacy, which defy the formats of success. Her paintings—painted on canvas and paper towels—record what the logic of efficiency tries to erase: slowing down, distraction, momentary vulnerability. Weakness becomes […]
Fly n Fly Out
A story must offer interwoven sensing: fractures, flashbacks, flickers – something to relate to, personally. Fiction is never fully detached from the real; it conceptualizes life into a connected mode of observing – more abstract, freer, more imaginative. Breaking out. Falling and flying. Drifting in and out of the here and now.Like the best fictions, […]
Some Other Country’s Land
Time goes as slowly as technology allows. You can stare at an image or an object for as long as you want to while sitting in your art studio. In a cable news studio, though, every second is supposed to count. Yet, these days, fewer and fewer people are concerned with facts; feelings and opinions […]
Speakers for the dead
Speakers for the dead [Palabreras de la muerte] explores possible ways of resurrecting people considered dead or missing. By placing themselves “in between” the living and the dead, the speakers show us that remembering is not only an exercise in memory, but also an action that involves a creative gesture: inventing, tracing a story and […]
Maladaptation
Adaptation is change, intended as a locally improving one. Adaptation is desirable, but its reality (narrative, de facto) is locked in the past tense (we can only identify it after the fact). Whereas in real time, all human action is accompanied by a narrative of its meaning. Certainty in action, derived from placing one’s faith […]

Sound Is The Softest Armour
The exhibition addresses the contradiction between the hardness we perform and the tenderness we hide within ourselves. Artists explore healing, repair, recovery and care for living and non-living objects. Because the armour we choose, whether sonic, aesthetic or emotional, does not always withstand the onslaught and then cracks appear.
Quitte ou Double
Né à Cannes en 1972, Brice Dellsperger explore depuis 1995 les codes du cinéma à travers sa série protocolaire Body Double, dans laquelle il reproduit plan par plan des scènes courtes de films emblématiques, empruntées à des réalisateurs tels que Brian De Palma, David Lynch, Paul Verhoeven ou Gus Van Sant. En rejouant ces scènes, […]
