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
The Hypermediated State and Fakewhale’s Practice in Spotlight
“Is it still possible to recognize innovation? And can curation have a larger impact if it is robbed of its inventive qualities before it can propose something new – silenced through the process by which visual art identifies otherness as an essential part of what feeds its continuation? We can
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
Sculpting Society: The Unfinished Revolution of Joseph Beuys
Origins of a Myth: The Body, the War, the Transformation To speak of Joseph Beuys is to enter immediately into an ambiguous space where history and myth intertwine. Born in 1921 in Krefeld, Germany, Beuys did not simply live his biography, he transformed it into material. Central to this transformat
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
