Artribune Podcast: l’artista Vincenzo Schillaci parla nel suo Monologhi al Telefono

The latest episode of the Artribune Podcast features artist Vincenzo Schillaci (born 1984 in Palermo), recorded via telephone. Schillaci discusses his evolving artistic practice, where painting is an ongoing process of layering and erasure. His work spans painted surfaces, works on paper, and bronze interventions, forming an open system in which the artwork continuously transforms, challenging the boundaries between gesture, material, and form. The episode highlights his recent series inspired by Aristotle's concept of phantasma, and his exploration of materials like electrodeposited copper and bronze to capture different states of the image.

In my Auntieversum, everyone is free, there are no rules

"In meinem Auntieversum sind alle frei, es gibt keine Regeln"

Wenhui Lim, a Singapore-raised artist and former architecture designer, creates AI-generated images and videos featuring older Asian women she calls 'Aunties.' Her surreal 'Auntieversum' depicts these figures bathing in oversized ramen bowls, playing with pastel jellyfish, and driving sushi cars—a fantastical parallel universe where they are free from societal and familial expectations. Lim began the project in early 2023 as a personal exploration to reconcile her own feelings toward the aunties in her life, who often made blunt comments about her appearance while also plying her with food.
