Fakewhale in Dialogue with Pfeifer & Kreutzer
Since 2014, Pfeifer & Kreutzer have built a distinctive and nuanced artistic universe, one where each mechanical gesture, sonic vibration, or subtle interaction with materiality becomes a reflection on the fragile relationship between humanity and technology. At Fakewhale, we had the opportunity
Monica Bonvicini at Capitain Petzel: It is Night Outside
There’s a moment, just as you cross the gallery’s threshold, when the darkness implied by the title slips in, not as a lack of light, but as an existential condition. “It is Night Outside”: a phrase that doesn’t merely describe but warns. What is this night? A historical moment? A mental s
Fakewhale in Dialogue with Chris Dorland
We’ve been following Chris Dorland’s work for some time now, captivated by his ability to fuse digital languages, analog remnants, and a near-prophetic take on the post-human condition. His paintings seem to erupt from a collision between material substance and the residue of corrupted systems,
Nico Vascellari: “Pastorale” at Palazzo Reale, Milan

Fakewhale Meets Domenico Romeo: On Modularity, Meaning, and Multiform Practice
We’ve been closely following the work of Domenico Romeo with great interest. As an artist, designer, and art director, he has spent years moving fluidly across visual art, fashion, sculpture, and symbolic writing, developing a personal language that is both ever-evolving and deeply coherent. His m
FAKEWHALE in conversation with Jan Robert Leegte
On the occasion of the upcoming exclusive Fakewhale-curated release Walled Garden, launching June 5 2025 at 6:00 PM CEST / 12:00 PM EDT, Fakewhale sat down with Dutch artist Jan Robert Leegte to discuss the conceptual framework behind a project that brings the NFT medium into an unexpected, highly c
The Spectacle of the Void: Art Without an Object
In the most extreme forms of conceptual art, the artistic gesture tends to vanish, dissolving into the thought that generates it. The “invisible artwork” emerges as both paradox and provocation, a declaration of war. It offers no object, no image, no body to contemplate, only an idea that endure
