The exhibition presents the result of the work undertaken this year by artist Claire Lindner during her research and creation residency at the European Institute of Ceramic Arts (IEAC).

La distancia que hay entre A y B es la misma que entre B y A
Museo Municipal de Arte Contemporaneo Conde Duque, Madrid. 08.06.2023 – 08.06.2024
The exhibition opens a dialogue between the Madrid City Council’s Municipal Collection of Contemporary Art and the Mariano Yera Collection, creating a dialogue between different ways of collecting, between public and private collecting, between the idea of geometry and replication, between figurative and abstract, between genres and generations, between seeing and looking. The exhibition revolves around that diatribe, that process full of dilemmas and undertakings where the thought becomes an idea, where the idea becomes an image and where the image generates a message

Salto nel vuoto. Arte al di là della materia
GAMeC, Bergamo. 03.02 – 28.05.2023
Curated by Lorenzo Giusti and Domenico Quaranta
Specifically, looks at those artists who, at different times, have investigated the dimension of the void in relation to the theme of matter – thus denying it in substance or identifying it as a mere ideal or imaginative dimension – or whose work has proved capable of reflecting epochal changes in the perception of the material dimension and in material culture itself, introduced by the emergence of the paradigms of software and computerization, as well as by the digital revolution and its social absorption.
