Sometimes the surface of the painting is reflected in the surfaces around it. At times, shapes fall out, emerge from it or expand beyond it. The drawn garden or the empty field that is taking shape reflect, in the water-puddles, the light of past or future images.
In other words, the image has fallen into composted earth. Perhaps bodies and forms have transformed and rearranged themselves. The pictorial surface remains the playground for negotiation. Wondering whether colours, as areas or lines, can function like seeds (here)? And what might grow from them if one were to water and fertilise them. – Ava Binta Giallo, 2026
Readings will be performed by Ava Binta Giallo during the exhibition opening hours of Independent Space Index
school is a space and collective founded by Yasmina Haddad and Andrea Lumplecker in 2011. school’s main series PERFORMATIVE SCREENINGS focuses on the screening as a frame, and defines a specific realm within selected artistic positions that employ performative strategies and relate to (political) realities. THE OBJECTIVE is an additional series that places the object at centre, where its condition – being part of the art world, or of a living reality? – might sometimes be unclear. Again, the aesthetic becomes a productive site of critical potential and triggers questions, discourse and change.
