Architectural Frequencies for Concrete Music / Neuf Voix

Music | Interview
Polished, yet bearing the dust of time, it occupies space with an imposing sculptural stillness. Composed of many elements, each object carries the power to produce a sound with a soul of its own—one that cuts through everything it touches, be it walls, air, or flesh.

Fragments of the Self / Francois X

Music | Interview
In a time where identity is often packaged, flattened, and made palatable for algorithmic feeds, François X resists easy definition. Born between Corsica and Benin, shaped by sounds that stretch from the vinyl stacks of Fania Records to the raw pulse of Parisian club nights, his music is neither fusion nor collage. It’s something more elemental, a process of remembering, returning, resisting.

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.

A Single Word Painting / Lee Goowon at Jacobs’ Booth

That Crack in the Wall of Reality / Kingsley Ifill

Star Child / Bowman Hal

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.

Neon Dreamland / YanRan Chen
