Is architecture complicit in withdrawal, or merely reflecting it?
Intersect is a collective of artist-designers from the design academy Eindhoven, united by the belief that visual arts should be accessible, inclusive and transdisciplinary. We advocate for a form of creation that is grounded in materials and gestures, that acknowledges the value of craft, and create space for plural narratives. Presque Demain was born from a desire to explore our near future through the materiality of the present. By playing with the ambiguity suggested by "almost", the exhibition embraces uncertainty as fertile ground for new imaginaries. Rather than grouping works by discipline or typology, it favor their overlap and challenges established formats. Thought its composition, the exhibition creates spaces where the various elements come together to speak and weave share narratives. Between dreamscape and fragments of reality, these dialogues open the door to new forms of collective practices.
Beauty is Resistance: art as antidote at browngrotta arts (October 11 - 19) explores how aesthetic creation—especially within textile, fiber, and material-based practices—serves as a form of radical defiance, cultural preservation, and political voice. In an age of political polarization, ecological crisis, and commodification, beauty might seem like a luxury—or a distraction. But for the artists in this exhibition, beauty is not a retreat from reality. It is a strategy of survival, remembrance, and resistance. Beauty is Resistance will feature more than two dozen international artists who harness the power of beauty not as escape but as agency: to mourn, to protest, to remember, to heal, and to imagine.
