The series Literary Ghosts, in which books are subtly altered with a fine spray of paint, exemplifies Wüthrich’s long-standing investigation into the book as a metaphor for the world, dissociated from its original function and transformed into a sculptural and conceptual presence.

Canevari's attraction to formal and linguistic purity in images and emblematic elements, his constant pursuit of proportion and his deep commitment to drawing, combined with a passionate interest in object culture, have led him to engage in the creation of refined functional objects. In doing so, he reconnects with a long-standing and international line of experimentation developed throughout the twentieth century, in which visual artists extended their artistic research into the functional realm, dedicating themselves to the creation of utilitarian objects and furnishings, as well as jewelry.

This exhibition brings into dialogue the photographic practices of Carolina Sandretto (Italy, b. 1980) and Wang Tong (China b. 1967), with two body of works exploring cities and landscapes marked by absence. Though geographically and culturally distant, their visions converge on places shaped by abandonment, suspension, and transformation, where human presence is no longer visible yet remains deeply inscribed in the built environment.

The exhibition brings into dialogue the practices of two young African artists, Pebofatso Mokoena and Troy Makaza, who, through different languages and materials, sharply interrogate the relationships between space, politics, history, and everyday life. Mokoena’s controlled spatial systems contrast with Makaza’s materially driven processes of accumulation and weaving. Together, their works articulate a nuanced reflection on the social, political, and global conditions shaping contemporary African art today.

Material Landscapes brings together two distinct artistic practices that converge on a shared visual and conceptual territory.
