The Material Speaks — A Conversation with IAAI KUTATELADZE
She doesn't plan the end result. She listens to what the material wants to say. IAAI — Ia Kutateladze, Georgian, Berlin-based — on intuition, meditation, and the excitement of surprising yourself with your own process.
The Beauty of the Search — Artist Alejo Palacios in Conversation
He began with furniture and materials in Buenos Aires. He arrived in Barcelona and found paper and ink. Alejo Palacios on craftsmanship, inherited knowledge, and the harmony that comes from simplicity.
ARTIST FLORINE IMO
She sketches in pen — so nothing can be erased — and paints women who carry secrets. Florine Imo's imperfect goddesses are terrifying, fragile, and hypnotically irresistible. The Vienna-based painter talks lockdowns, RuPaul, and why the art world still has a long way to go.
“Visibility has never been our measure of significance. We seek out artists and inspiring individuals whose work sparks curiosity, challenges assumptions, and leaves a lasting impression.”
Every project, image, and story is about framing a series of questions that are deeply important to me as a human being.- Shirin Neshat
