It has been an honor to curate this extraordinary exhibition by the artist duo
@entangledothers — and I can honestly say I have been one of their very first and biggest fans. Supporting their work and now curating their first solo exhibition in Europe at the Meet
@meetcenter feels incredibly meaningful.
The exhibition was born from the European Art & Science residency program Studiotopia, through which Entangled Others continued their collaboration with oceanographer Joan Llort to develop a new work, supported by MEET.
At the center of the exhibition is Liquid Strata: Argomorphs (sculptures), created during this residency. From this encounter between artistic research and scientific inquiry emerged the desire to expand the dialogue into a larger exhibition dedicated to their practice.
“Liquid Chimeras” (Feb 5th - April 19th) has opened at the MEET Digital Culture Center in Milan, whom I sincerely thank for this opportunity and for continuously fostering dialogue and reflection about the future — about what is emerging, and about what art does for us as a society and as humanity.
My deepest compliments go to
@soficrespo91 and
@feileacan_net for their remarkable artistic vision. The exhibition unfolds across physical and digital works, culminating in a fully immersive environment. Curating it and working with these artists has been a true joy.
So many joined us for the opening — thank you for sharing this moment with us.
“The exhibition arises from an urgency to reinterpret the relationship between knowledge, technology, and imagination through art. Where information is lacking, spaces of creative possibility open up. This happened in the Middle Ages, when the absence of scientific knowledge was filled with monstrous and imaginary creatures — symbolic projections of unknown territories. It happens today as well: the attempt to make visible what exists yet escapes direct perception — through artificial intelligence and computational systems — once again opens a space for what art has always known how to do: to imagine speculative forms that do not explain reality but interrogate it, asking how many realities can coexist and how we might give form to dimensions that are hidden yet deeply operative. “It is within these territories of uncertainty and invisibility that the artistic exploration of the duo Entangled Others finds its fullest expression in their practice.”
