‘(Untitled) Radical Objecthood’ exhibition at 60 Curzon, London during Frieze Week
Artvisor is pleased to announce Untitled (Radical Objecthood), an exhibition that explores the idea and meaning of sculpture today through a group of artists across generations and geographies, interlacing nonlinear narratives and reaffirming the centrality of the physical object in contemporary practice.

Carlos Garaicoa, ‘Resistencia’ at Artvisor, London
Artvisor is thrilled to announce Carlos Garaicoa‘s latest solo show, Resistencia, opening during Frieze week on 10 October at Artvisor in London.

In this exhibition, Kiefer reimagines the famously experimental last novel by James Joyce, Finnegans Wake, as an immersive symphony of naturalist destruction through the mutation of the novel into a non-linear dreamscape.
