On Stones and Immortality / Michèle Lamy and Barry X Ball
Art&Culture | Spotlight
When Barry and Michèle first crossed paths in the quiet surrealism of Venice, a wordless connection sparked between sculptor and collector; rooted in observation, curiosity and creation. After a Milan morning spent wandering potential exhibition spaces to exhibit the bust Barry sculpted of Michèle Lamy and the Rick Owens boutique –like ghosts casing a temple– we sat down to speak. About monolithic stones. About machines. About art as resistance; against time, against meaninglessness, against death itself.

Spirito Sangue / Lorenzo Montinaro
Art&Culture | Spotlight
Spirito Sangue by Lorenzo Montinaro is an excavation of death, memory, and time. Set in Taranto, a city haunted by industrial decay and environmental collapse, the exhibition explores mortality not as an end, but as a condition of existence. Through fragments of marble, erased inscriptions and relics soaked in caducity, Montinaro constructs fragile monuments that resist disappearance, dwelling in erosion, yet standing against oblivion.

On Mass Hysteria / Laia Abril
Art&Culture | Spotlight

The eyes, eyelids, and eyelashes are condensed into a single sombre blotch: the light that the iris should reflect gives way to emptiness, to a blind scream reverberating through the disjointed lines of her figure,
shaken by a movement tinged with despair.
