In this interview for My Art Guides, Nalini Malani reflects on "Of Woman Born", a major site-specific installation commissioned by the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art as an Official Collateral Event of the 61st International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia. Presented within the Magazzini del Sale, the work unfolds as a continually shifting 'thought chamber' where projections, sound, and memory converge around women, myth, and global conflict.

Through layered animations and immersive environments, Malani meditates on patriarchal violence, geopolitical accountability, and the suppressed agency of women, proposing empathy, interconnectedness, and the retelling of stories as necessary tools to imagine a more humane future.

Creative director, designer, artist and storyteller, Marras has built a practice that spans fashion, visual arts, theatre and craft, producing a layered and highly distinctive visual imaginary. His work oscillates between memory and experimentation, between intimate dimension and collective narrative, always maintaining a strong drive towards the hybridisation of languages.
Today, with two projects underway in Milan – "Maria Lai | Antonio Marras: Paso Doble" at M77 Gallery and "Per filo e per segno. Percorsi di arte tessile in Italia" at BUILDING BOX – and one in London at Carpenters Workshop Gallery, this attitude is particularly evident. The show at M77 presents a dialogue with Maria Lai, a key figure in his artistic journey; at BUILDING BOX, his work is situated within a broader reflection on textiles as a critical and contemporary language.
Marras thus confirms a practice that eludes any single definition, weaving together different forms of knowledge and expression, and reaffirming the value of gesture, materiality and storytelling in an increasingly fast-moving and dematerialised present.

In this interview for My Art Guides, Wallace Chan reflects on a practice that transcends the boundaries between sculpture, jewellery art, and craftsmanship. Rooted in decades of experimentation with precious materials, his work moves seamlessly from the microscopic precision of jewellery to the monumental scale of “Vessels of Other Worlds” – a project unfolding between Venice and Shangai in which sculpture, space, and perception intertwine across physical and virtual dimensions.

The Venice exhibition opens on May 8, 2026, at the Chapel of Santa Maria della Pietà, while the parallel exhibition at the Long Museum in Shanghai will open July 18, 2026. Through this dual project, Chan explores themes of spirituality, transformation, and continuity, offering a vision of art as a space where material, philosophy, and perception converge.
