Unfenced brings together two Argentine artists whose work seems, at first glance, to move in opposite directions. Milu Correch paints the street corners of her own Buenos Aires neighborhood — a rusted combi, parked motorcycles, a boy floating on an air mattress in a backyard pool full of poodles. Irene Lasivita paints figures that have no fixed address at all: a sphinx-like being with pink hair, half human, half animal, set within dense, dreamlike foliage. One artist works from observation, the other from invention. Seen in dialogue, they turn out to be doing the same thing — from opposite ends. Milu Correch: The Magic of the Everyday Correch's Buenos Aires is never simply documentary. Her scenes carry a charge that goes beyond what is literally pictured — a vibration under the everyday, an energy that resists full explanation. She has no formal art education, and it shows in the directness of her eye: color and gesture do the narrating, while the image itself withholds as much as it reveals. Correch speaks of a visual poetry that refuses transparency — the viewer has to complete the story. Not everything is said. In her recent work, this instinct tips further into magical...

With Altered Nature, we bring together two distinctive positions of urban art, ARDIF and Pixelpancho, in a single exhibition. Nature is approached not as a representation, but as a mutable, dynamic state. Both artists emerged from the street and urban art scene, where organic forms, technical aesthetics and urban influences merge in a singular way.The Idea of Nature At the heart of the exhibition lies the idea of a nature that can no longer be conceived as untouched or idealised, but is shaped by human intervention, technological processes and cultural transformation.A Hybrid System In the works of ARDIF and Pixelpancho, nature appears as a hybrid system, at once organic and constructed. While ARDIF's imagery often reveals biomechanical structures in which plants and machines merge into one another, Pixelpancho develops complex scenarios between nature, architecture and mechanical elements. Structures seem both grown and built; surfaces bear traces of time, memory, damage and repair.Growth and Decay The result is a body of imagery that shows less landscape in the classical sense than processes made visible: growth and decay, layering and fragmentation, mechanics and abstraction.The title Altered Nature is deliberately left open. "Altered" refers both to physical change and to a shift in perception: a nature...

For this year's edition of ARTMUC, we present a selection of figurative positions featuring works by Fin DAC, SKIO, Alexis Stephens and Guy Denning.At the centre of the presentation is the human figure: not as a classical likeness, but as a projection surface for perception, transformation and inner states. Moving between urban art, contemporary figuration and painterly gesture, the works explore how identity is constructed in the interplay of body, space and image.The four artistic positions open up different approaches. Fin DAC develops a highly aesthetic, precise visual language in which cultural references and traditions condense into a distinct form of identity. At its core are strong, self-assured female figures who radiate presence and poise.SKIO's works emerge from purely analogue painting, yet their visual effect recalls the logic of digital and AI-generated imagery. Shaped by a reduced, Bauhaus-inspired formal vocabulary, the compositions take on an almost otherworldly quality, reflecting a perception increasingly defined by hybrid realities.In the works of Alexis Stephens, the body itself becomes a vehicle for movement, energy and decision. Gestures appear as frozen moments of a dynamic process in which control and impulse are present at once. Guy Denning, by contrast, reduces the figure to a raw,...
