Flacon Rouge, 1909. #LeonSpilliaert

Léon Spilliaert — Through Half-Open Doors
@patrickderomgallery

PT. 82 @_yorgos_lanthimos_

The darkly oneiric universe of the Greek filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos is one charged with emotion, from languorous boredom to hysteria. This is conveyed not only by his actors (one could also call them subjects), but also by the strange environments he creates for them. With a genre-defying career in arthouse film that has evolved over more than two decades, Lanthimos has established himself as one of the most provocative auteurs of his generation. Less well known is his photography practice, which is currently the subject of his first-ever exhibition at @Onassis.Stegi in his native Greece.

A few thoughts on the show for @ursulamagazine

#yorgoslanthimos #ursulamagazine

In a @labiennale awash with bodies and their fluids, #ZoeLeonard’s ‘Display IX, 1994’ hung in the Giardini like a deflated, 2D male torso — a queer female gaze observing millennia of masculine posturing and its artefacts.

🏛️WE ARE OPEN! | cc-tapis presents (META)FISICA curated by @DanThawley with exhibition design by @PabloMolezunStudio.

Unfolding like a labyrinth through the gallery’s six rooms, the exhibition introduces a landmark collection of new rugs developed in collaboration with @Fornasetti.

Archival motifs by Piero and Barnaba Fornasetti are reinterpreted into surreal, dreamlike compositions, brought to life through cc-tapis’ global artisanal craftsmanship.

A sound installation by @carlosmcasas with custom speakers by @GiorgiodiSalvo invokes the presence of animal guides — the cat, snake, fox, and crow — culminating in a final immersive soundscape in the gallery basement.

🗓 20–25 April: 10 AM – 7 PM; 26 April: 10 AM – 5 PM
📍cc-tapis, Piazza Santo Stefano 10, Milan

Thank you @cc_tapis and @fornasetti for trusting me to curate the conceptual and narrative framework for (META)FISICA — a sensory exhibition of new rugs that explore the universal symbols of Piero Fornasetti’s oeuvre at a monumental scale.

(META)FISICA is named after an extraordinary 32-panel #Fornasetti screen from 1958 (formerly owned by Sting!) that became a lynchpin for the exhibition’s maze-like format, but also our investigation of his work as a flat architectural gesture.

Fornasetti represents a cornucopia of decorative ideas and notions for many around the world, which is why it was essential to take a radical approach to this exhibition: reawakening the natural and human characters Piero was drawing in the early 1950s as flat planes in conversation with his working tools such as zinc transfer plates and original transparent drawings.

In dialogue with @pablomolezunstudio, we considered the concrete #cctapis space as a clinical gallery, where office blinds and yellow linoleum reactivate the natural light of the Piazza Santo Stefano creating a glowy cocoon where rugs are hung in floating layers and placed in conversation with each other through games of height, proportion and mirroring.

In each room, archival designs float in mahogany frames by @bahrainidanish for @cassetta.dk, or polished steel cabinets by @nm3.xyz.

Grounding the experience in an ethereal soundscape, the Catalan artist @carlosmcasas took the hisses of snakes and purrs of cats, whispers, weaving clatter and more from his archives and remixed them into a multichannel composition that guides the audience through each room, culminating in the 20-minute composition in the gallery’s basement, where a Pointillist Roman ruin is watched over by a coppery sun king.

Finally, a selection of metaphysical texts dating back to the 8th century accompany the show in a printed guide, allowing visitors to contemplate Sylvia Plath or John Donne, D.H Lawrence and Italo Calvino as they visit the show - and hopefully long after.

Thank you to the passionate and hard-working teams that made this surreal Salone dream a reality.

дякую @vogue_ukraine for a beautiful feature in the Spring issue and such a thoughtful, considered interview spanning my career and its most recent chapter with @matterandshape.

This feels like a really full-circle moment with @venabrykalin — it’s been a privilege to watch you take the reins of this magazine at such a volatile moment in history and use this power to continually shed light on creativity, excellence and underdogs in many industries outside of fashion.

Thank you @dougalmacarthur for these portraits in front of some of my favourite artworks by #LawrenceWeiner and #GiuseppePenone in the Jardin des Tuileries.
