Rissa

“Rissa” is a group exhibition that foregrounds friction, contradiction, and unresolved tension as productive forces. Positioned against expectations of harmony, clarity, and coherence, the show asserts disagreement as a central condition—not a problem to solve, but a dynamic to embrace.

Rather than seeking consensus, the exhibition constructs a space where collision becomes a form of dialogue. The works on view resist synthesis and instead foreground rupture, instability, and divergence. In this setting, sound and image do not serve to soothe or clarify; they disrupt, provoke, and demand a response.

The exhibition features a diverse group of artists and musicians whose practices explore the generative potential of conflict and dissonance. Included are Marco Dapino, Eloise Hess, Thebackstudio, Shakeeb Abu Hamdan, Fabrizio Vatieri, Steven Parrino, Riccardo Benassi, Marlene Dumas, Yari Malaspina, Canemorto, Andrea Renzini, Mother, Bear Bones Lay Low, Liam Gillick, Andrew Norman Wilson, Zazzaro Otto, Collezione Nancy Delroi, Paul McCarthy, Clara Hastrup, Kembra Pfahler, Theresa Büchner, Bromp Trek, Jooklo Duo, Entagled Auch, Sean Landers, and Jimmy De Sana.

“RISSA” does not present resolution but invites viewers to engage with discord as a mode of presence. Here, coexistence is not balance—it is friction.
