In Conversation with Paul Paillet

In this interview, Paul Paillet discusses a practice shaped by intimacy, addiction, memory, and the emotional charge of everyday objects. Moving between ceramics, painting, and installation, he reflects on how personal experiences, cultural references, and material processes become ways of exploring vulnerability, dependency, and human connection. Through fragile yet powerful forms, Paillet examines the tensions between comfort and violence, beauty and unease, the personal and the collective. He speaks about the objects that inhabit his works — from domestic furniture to everyday tools — as carriers of memory, desire, and hidden conflicts. This conversation offers insight into an artistic approach where autobiography is transformed into a broader reflection on social realities and emotional states.

In Conversation with Sebastian Haas

In this interview, Swiss artist Sebastian Haas reflects on his earliest encounters with art and the formative experiences that shaped their path. What began with a childhood drawing and a first moment of recognition has evolved into a compelling contemporary practice that bridges tradition and innovation.

In Conversation with Michele Gabriele

This conversation introduces an artist whose practice moves fluidly between sculpture and image, shaped by an early dependence on drawing as a form of communication and later by studies at the Accademia di Brera with Alberto Garutti. Their work challenges the idea of the artwork as a closed object, instead proposing pieces that exist as perceptual states—open, unstable encounters that unfold between viewer, material, and space.

Warp Drive by Jason Rohr

Solo exhibition at The Showroom by Xavier Fischer

Jaguar, Ferrari and RAM. Three car brands, three animal symbols. From there, the question arises: how can we still conceive of landscape when all that remains of the world is a brittle wasteland of performance and status, of surface and exhaustion? Warp Drive lacquers its animals, drives through territories mirrored in chrome steel, and invites us to reflect on the world and its remnants.

In Conversation with Héloïse Chassepot

Héloïse Chassepot’s work moves deftly between sincerity and artifice, drawing on familiar visual languages—flowers, ribbons, softness—to question cultural assumptions and explore emotional nuance. In her upcoming duo exhibition Positive Paradox with Swetlana Heger, she merges painterly and sculptural elements to reflect on the role of the artist within the social and spatial realities of London. In this interview, Chassepot speaks about her attraction to amateurism, the tension of repetition, and why irony can only emerge from a place of deep sincerity. What appears playful or decorative on the surface often conceals a complex negotiation with identity, perception, and artistic autonomy.

In Conversation with Grégory Sugnaux

Swiss artist Grégory Sugnaux discusses in this interview his journey from a small village in Fribourg to exploring the dynamics of visual culture. He reflects on how his work challenges traditional art historical narratives, blending pop culture, art history, and contemporary media. Grégory shares insights into his upcoming exhibition, Toxic Wasn’t Just a Song, where he reinterprets early 2000s cultural moments with humor, discomfort, and nostalgia, inviting viewers to question the role of images in shaping memory and identity.

In Conversation with Lucca Süss

In this interview with Lucca Süss, the artist reflects on their journey from a rigid apprenticeship to a career in fine arts, driven by a desire to escape conventional career paths. Their sculptures, crafted from everyday found objects, explore the transformation of materials, challenging societal norms and addressing queer and trans identities. Through deconstructing and reconfiguring these objects, the artist disrupts traditional notions of materiality and functionality, creating works that reflect the fluidity of gender and selfhood.
