Power for Art’s Sake / Reading Pyotr Pavlensky’s Subject–Object Art Theory

Madonne / Lust for Paper
Private | Spotlight
Madonne moves through the charged space where flesh meets scripture, where devotion merges with desire. Latex, rope, and trembling bodies turn pain into a form of worship, exposing a raw blend of surrender and power. The work reveals a world where holiness and fetish intertwine, challenging the boundaries of sin, freedom, and ritual.

Love’s Secret Domain / Noelia Towers

In artist’s work, innocence clashes with experience, and every muted colour, hidden face, or subtle gesture carries a perception of delicacy in contrast with a strong unspoken.

Digging Wounds / Shirin Neshat
Art&Culture | Spotlight

A body becomes a question, a space becomes alive, and identity splinters into light, sound, and shadow.

Pyramid Ibiza / Clubbing Returns To Instinct
Private | Spotlight
As Ibiza spins into spectacle, filters, and pre-choreographed chaos, Amnesia remains defiantly raw, primal and soulfully intact. In a season where other clubs chase content, Amnesia offers something infinitely rarer: communion. The freedom to move, feel, disappear. And at the heart of this rebellion beats Pyramid, Amnesia’s flagship underground Sunday, a weekly ritual for those who know. It doesn’t shout for attention. It calls to your instincts.

Embrace / Klára Hosnedlová & Anna-Catharina Gebbers
Art&Culture | Interview
A dynamic and multilayered dialogue with the artist and curator unfolds around the new site-specific installation commissioned by Chanel, on view until October 26. The work reshapes the cold, industrial immensity of the Hamburger Bahnhof’s historic hall into a terrain at once tactile and intimate.
