Reclaiming The Antipop Roots / Neopop 2026
Music | Spotlight
NEOPOP Festival 2026 returned to its original name, ANTIPOP, for its twentieth edition in Viana do Castelo, Portugal. Across three days inside the historic Santiago da Barra Fort, the festival brought together techno pioneers and a new generation of artists, proving why NEOPOP remains one of Europe's most distinctive destinations for electronic music.
Óróapuls Harmonic Tremor / Ben Frost & Francesco Fabris
Art&Culture | Spotlight
Rooted in the volcanic unrest of Iceland’s Reykjanes peninsula, Harmonic Tremor, the exhibition by Ben Frost and Francesco Fabris constructs an environment in which sound is not a medium that describes a landscape but one through which the world continues to occur; a world in which matter is an active, articulate force.
The Club That Does What The State Won’t
Music | Spotlight
Tempio del Futuro Perduto has redistributed 700 tonnes of goods, supported refugees, and held mental health services for a generation the city forgot. Now it is proposing something more permanent: a club built to last 100 years. This May, Milan becomes the meeting point for independent cultural spaces from Berlin, Paris, Shanghai, Tbilisi, Barcelona, Amsterdam and Beijing — all converging around one question: what does a dancefloor look like in 2125, and who gets to decide?
The Space Around The Canvas / Shin Gallery & L-Y-O-N
Art&Culture | Spotlight
There is a hoodie in the room. Next to a Van Gogh. Across from a work that carries Oscar Wilde's name, which is to say: a particular kind of company. The hoodie is the first physical point of contact between the collection and the body of the person standing in front of it — and that is the only honest place for art to begin. Curated by Joe La Placa and Maria Abramenko.
American Gothic / Matt McCormick
Art&Culture | Interview
A visual hum where nostalgia meets disillusion and the myth of America slowly reveals its fractures. Moving between painting, tattooing, sculpture and fashion, his practice unfolds as an open-ended narrative shaped by movement and memory — examined until its cracks come into view, leaving a language of fragments and surfaces.
A Moth To A Flame / Jack Laver
Art&Culture | Spotlight
'A Moth To a Flame', Jack Laver's new solo show, opens April 9th at 6pm at the Sarabande Foundation, on view from April 10th to April 12th.
Rebirth Machine / Sally Von Rosen
Art&Culture | Interview
For her new solo exhibition, On Three Legs, (on view until April 2 at Andréhn-Schiptjenko, Stockholm), bronze figures teeter and strain, a confrontation with instability that refuses comfort, demanding presence in the space between fascination and unease.
Where Is My Mind / Marcus Nelson
Art&Culture | Interview
Destabilise, while provoking a reflection, his path defies the hierarchies of art, turning each piece into a therapeutic ground where the audience cannot escape their own shadow.
Phantom Bridges / Nika Qutelia
Art&Culture | Interview
Like a crack in a mirror, the artist’s works do not divert our gaze from reality, but instead reveal it, stripping away every illusion and filter. A self-taught career unfolds through unbalanced and disorienting worlds which, rather than leading us astray, ultimately act as a guide toward a more authentic direction.
Unveiling the ‘Apocalypse’ / Sandra Mujinga
Art&Culture | Interview
“We are always late,” the artist says, suggesting that being contemporary means relating to our timeline rather than simply chasing modernity. In their work, presence and invisibility intertwine, revealing that a space “is never empty” and that what it is hidden, what seems absent often speaks the loudest.
Fantasy Vanishes in Flesh / Ivana Bašić
Art&Culture | Spotlight
Ivana Bašić’s exhibition at Galleria Francesca Minini in Milan remains open only until 12th December. This is the very last chance to experience a show that gathers together archaic materials, hybrid bodies and a profound meditation on transformation and birth.
Love’s Secret Domain / Noelia Towers
Art&Culture | Interview
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.
