All in events
At Kunsthalle Bern the Unrealized Art Prize went to Kollektiv Haus Gawali for The Fifth Sister, a project built from family archives, oral memory and collective authorship. Rafal Skoczek took second position with a concrete red carpet made for a courtyard in Zurich.
On September 12, Nike SNKRS filled Via Sammartini 72 with eleven artists and one sneaker, the Air Max Dolce. We stopped five of them in the room to ask about memes, archives, edible hearts and what the 2000s still teach us about looking.
Helsinki Design Week 2026, seen from the inside: a flying saucer reborn from its original moulds, carbon that looks like stone, a sculptor's villa by the sea, and a public sauna that doubles as a school.
Surfaces. Layers. Overlaps. The sixth edition of Opera Festival ran from 20 to 23 August in Milo, Sicily: a new stage carved out of the forest, a wider Ballroom, and six thousand people listening under an active volcano.
Twenty-one editions in, Helsinki in August belongs to Flow. A former power plant, ten stages, forty-five kitchens. Names we loved: Florence + The Machine, Nick Cave, Lykke Li, Oklou, Habibi Funk, DJ Gigola, Ana Frango Elétrico.
At 180 The Strand, GENER8ION’s VISIONS OF 2034 is all about cinema, music and visual art, imagining a future that feels disturbingly close to the present.
Built on a promise to writer J.L. Borges, the labyrinth carries FMR's ongoing legacy. Bianca Peruzzi and Luca Giudici built LOST, an afterlife vision based on perceptual possibility.
From August 1 to 25, San Benedetto del Tronto hosts Infinito Pratico, organized by Adriatica Contemporanea. Eleven artists interrogate repetition, locality, and Leopardi metaphysical legacy at Palazzina Azzurra, connecting past conceptual lineages to immediate regional realities.
Feeric Fashion Week takes Sibiu apart and gives it to designers. A museum, three parking levels, two factories, a village, and a medieval square become runways for schools and labels arriving from more than fifteen countries.
Pacha's walls still remember the night Jamie xx and Solomun traded rhythms until sunrise, one playful and open, the other deep and relentless, together rewriting what a b2b can sound like.
Nearly three years in the making, REBEL RAMEN landed in Paris with a cart drawn by Willo Perron, a sound system built by Matéo Garcia, and two bowls that argue for restraint and excess in equal measure.
Berlin Fashion Week SS27 took place across four days and iconic venues citywide, uniting Orange Culture, Buzigahill, Andrej Gronau, Kasia Kucharska, Selva Huygens, sample030 and John Lawrence Sullivan in a season defined by identity and transformation.
Nordic midsummer has always been a negotiation with light: how long can you hold it, how much can the body take before sleep wins. At Ruka, Kuusamo, Solstice Festival removes the question entirely. The sun does not set. The fell rises above the treeline. The reindeer cross when they want. You adjust.
(Future) Paradise Gardens. The tenth edition of Biennale Gherdëina inaugurates in the heart of the Dolomites as a diffuse event running until 13 September.
The exhibition Dal sonno by Nicola Maria Patitucci, hosted by Cane Studio, examines the perception and implications of the unconscious, converting the dream state into an intimate and unsettling visual journey.
At SOLO CSV in Madrid, a new exhibition space has inaugurated: Basement, with works by Cezar Mocan, artist and programmer winner of SOLO AI ‘25 Award, on the limits of data technologies.
In its 11th edition, Amsterdam-based FIBER Festival made this tension its focus of inquiry through its theme, Fragile Forces.
Helsinki in late May: five days of shows, ateliers, studios and one awards night, where a young generation of Finnish designers proved that craftsmanship and innovation can move in the same direction. COEVAL was there to see it.
‘The Silence of the Mole’ reimagines a folkloric icon as a Marxist underdog. The film investigates the Kafkaesque machinery of national representation at the Biennale, where muted instruments signal a refusal to serve cultural diplomacy and statecraft.
Mat Dryhurst makes software the way others make manifestos. Curated alongside Holly Herndon, Hans Ulrich Obrist, and Adriana Rispoli, his Attention Guild installation at Palazzo Diedo is the clearest version yet of what he calls protocol art: a parliament of humans and agents, and a gift economy that runs.
