Events running for an extended period

12 March – 1 May

Across paintings, sculptures and installations, Emblema refines a conceptual language that interrogates materiality, form and temporality. The presentation highlights his experimental use of found materials, assemblage and reductive gestures, situating these works within postwar Italian avant‑garde practices and the artist’s evolving exploration of spatial and epistemic limits.

29 October 2025 – 31 May 2026

Curated loop of films by Tabarak Allah Abbas and Roman Selim Khereddine. Tabarak Allah Abbas blends painterly composition and intimate animation to probe belonging and exile — from a three-part family chronicle of second-generation immigrants to a dystopian, cyborg-infused refugee voyage. Roman Selim Khereddine uses stark observational imagery and still frames from racetracks to examine hierarchical, exploitative relationships between humans and animals and the rhythms of late-capitalist spaces. Together the works balance lyric memory and forensic observation, alternately tender, uncanny and unsparing.
