Simon Moretti et al.

Hereafter

★★★★★

On until 30 May 2025

There is an unstated hierarchy of forms at work in this enigmatic not-quite-solo, not-quite-collective exhibition. “Hereafter” was conceived by Simon Moretti and features works by well over a dozen “guest” others. The artist’s wall-mounted neon, Double Vortex (after Emanuel Swedenborg), 2025, is the show’s cipher. This work’s very shape—like a ram’s horns atop an Ionic column—points to the heavens.

The party slumps into a half-voiced political complaint and never recovers. This is what happens when instead of living culture, we ‘celebrate’ it.

This invites a game of proofreading, in hope that Amer maliciously inserted a greengrocer’s apostrophe into de Beauvoir’s mind.

Even the artists approach this edition with ennui.

★★★☆☆

There will be no women when this spell breaks. And no need for magic, either.

Genuine Fake Premium Economy

What would it take for an artist to take control of the means of aesthetic production?

Byrne has a type. Or rather, he’ll paint you into one.
