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.

★★★★☆
This show drips with affectation that wouldn’t survive a minute tomorrow.

The shadow of tomorrow draws an ancient silhouette
★★★☆☆
Auer is more interested in the fate of painting than humanity and thus stands apart from the army of zealots who make eco art today.

★★★☆☆
There is no answer in the work. Its cause and the object become enmeshed in a bland, exoticized mess.

What’s left of the show are stage props that feed adolescent imaginations with false memories of the long-finished party.

★★☆☆☆
Having forgotten what the ‘dramatic’ in art stands for, visual artists today too often mistake hacked theory for stage directions.
