The group exhibition Trace (Opening: 30 October 2025) explores graphic and textual scores, concrete poetry, and movement notation, inviting an interdisciplinary encounter between visual artists, poets, and musicians around writing and drawing.
The exhibition delves into the transition from the transient to the permanent sign, dwelling on the ways in which the act of signification – sound, word, or movement – is embodied as a lasting presence. The works unfold creative dialogues between line and vibration, between gesture and letter, and between contemporary art and the heritage of the “graph” – writing, engraving, and drawing in a variety of mediums.
