Curating Otherwise: Interdependence as a Tool to Practice
When the old is dying and the new delays, a counter-movement rises in the infrathin of the now. Outside the prestige ecosystems of museums, biennials, and the increasing artist-run spaces, the figure of the independent curator moves on unsteady grounds marked by precarity given by the ongoing lack o
Yvo Cho at Neue Alte Brücke, Frankfurt: A Gesture, a Ghost: Copper, Rice, and Shame in the Empty Room
Walking toward Neue Alte Brücke on a softly dusty German afternoon, we found ourselves thinking about how silence can wound more deeply than a raised voice. What shape does shame take? Is it a sound? A smell? Perhaps a texture? That question echoed quietly as we crossed the threshold of Yvo Cho’s

Tarik Kiswanson: The Relief – War Memory, Music, and the Fragility of Transmission
The Relief by Tarik Kiswanson at Sfeir-Semler Gallery, Hamburg, May 8 – August 30, 2025. There is a moment, even before stepping through the threshold, when the mind fills with a silence that is not the absence of sound, but a dense anticipation, almost a vibration. The light of Hamburg, filtered
Fakewhale Studio: INTERLACED OBJECTS
INTERLACED OBJECTS, Fakewhale Studio, 07.08, 07.09.2025, NEW YORK (SERVERS) What remains of an artwork if not its reflection? And what happens when even that reflection is a mirage, fabricated by a machine? We’d love to say we were there, but this time that’s not possible. INTERLACED OBJECTS
