HSUBAND at Plicnik: Coupling Systems and Industrial Poetics
“Every factory seems to promise a form of coherence. HSUBAND stages that promise as a condition under inspection: parts, protocols, bodies, words. The space appears frictionless, an environment where coupling is always theoretically achievable, yet the terms of that coupling remain unsettled.
The Flickering Light: Marcello Maloberti – METRONOTTE
What remains of God when the word goes dark? We asked ourselves this as we stepped into San Carlo Church, welcomed by the cool breath of stone and the faint scent of worn plaster, like walking into an ancient memory. We must admit: the walls, chipped and solemn, seemed to be holding their breath. Th
Eliza Douglas: Guggenheim, at Overduin & Co., Los Angeles
Some artists build worlds; others wrap them up. Walking into Guggenheim, Eliza Douglas’s latest solo exhibition, the question arises instantly: what exactly are we looking at? A simulacrum? A caricature? Or a sealed gift, waiting to be opened? And above all, what kind of gift? The monumental stage
Fakewhale in conversation with François Vogel: ENTRO_PY, Elasticity as an entropic trigger of expanded reality
Reality is never what is simply presented. It is what resists the stability of appearance. Throughout the twentieth century, both the body and vision have undergone a progressive deconstruction. From the performative disruptions of Happenings to Bruce Nauman’s early video experiments, from the fra

Gianni Caravaggio & Johannes Wald, “unforeseen” at Galerie Stadt, Sindelfingen
The first thing we noticed upon entering was a hand. Or rather: a metal outline of its profile, suspended in the corner of the main room. Not an evocative shape, but a precise sign. It’s an appropriate starting point for reading unforeseen, the exhibition that brings together Gianni Caravaggio and
Blurring Boundaries: Yiming on Machines, Organisms, and the Future of Hybrid Art
Yiming’s work consistently navigates the blurred boundaries between the organic and the synthetic, the conscious and the constructed, the human and the machine. Her hybrid sculptures and low-tech installations dwell in a liminal space, one that questions not only the role of technology in shaping
Fakewhale in Dialogue with the Jakob Collection: Rethinking Patronage and the Anti-Hero
A curious observer and unconventional collector, Lukas Jakob has turned his young age into a strength, building a collection that goes beyond simply accumulating works. His approach explores the fragilities, contradictions, and urgencies of our present moment. The Lukas Jakob Collection stands out f
Curating as a Relational Practice: Fakewhale in Conversation with Giovanni Carmine
In the landscape of contemporary art, the role of the curator has undergone a profound transformation in recent decades, becoming increasingly hybrid, complex, and influential. Giovanni Carmine is a key figure in this evolution: from his early beginnings in the Swiss independent scene to his directo
Raphael Pohl & Theodor Nymark, Who’s in charge here? Art of a New Generation at ECK Museum of Art, Brunico
There’s a silence that precedes language. It’s the same hush that greets you at the entrance of the Eck Museum of Art: not unsettling, but preparatory. On the first floor of this space, formerly known as the Stadtmuseum Bruneck, a collaboration unfolds that feels less like a conventional exhibit
