When species don’t meet è una esposizione nata da un dialogo tra lo sguardo di Luca Petti (Benevento, 1990), Davide Dicorato (Milano, 1991) e la collezioni del Museo Civico di Scienze Naturali E. Caffi. Gli artisti hanno in questo caso potuto esplorare i depositi delle collezioni e chiedere in prestito alcuni reperti ai conservatori, integrati nelle opere in mostra.
Il progetto, a cura di Arnold Braho e Edoardo De Cobelli, prosegue la collaborazione di Spazio Volta con gli enti territoriali, iniziata con l’Oasi WWF Valpredina, presente nella volta al piano inferiore, all’interno di un palinsesto annuale dedicato al rapporto tra l’uomo e gli animali.
When Species Don’t Meet nasce dalla volontà di interrogare le modalità attraverso cui l’animalità viene osservata, rappresentata ed esposta all’interno di differenti dispositivi istituzionali e architettonici. Il progetto prende forma a partire da una riflessione sui limiti dello sguardo zoologico e sulle condizioni di possibilità dell’incontro tra specie, mettendo in discussione le dinamiche di esposizione, spettacolarizzazione e controllo che storicamente hanno definito il rapporto tra umano e animale, a partire dai musei di scienze naturali.
Ci vediamo all’opening Sabato 23 Maggio 2026 ore h 18.00 !

We are super happy to share the Open Call for Accademia Provinciale, a residency and participatory learning program, hosted by Comune di Mulazzo and curated by the transdisciplinary collective, @provinciale_11 .
The project offers 10 grants for artists and curators under 36 of age and unfolds across two parallel residencies, running from August 2026 to January 2027 between Mulazzo and Fivizzano in Lunigiana, luscany.
The programme is structured around three modules comprising seminars, workshops and symposia, conceived by invited practitioners, theoreticians and professors from the worlds of philosophy, art, sciences and architecture, in dialogue with the context:
I. Situating the School - dedicated to contextual studies and collective construction of critical tools to engage with the place;
Il. The Garden - centred on the interweaving between individual practices and the commons;
Ill. Forms of Sharing - devoted to the production and dissemination of outcomes through exhibition and editorial formats.
The invited practitioners and theoreticians will be announced gradually during the open call.
Accademia Provinciale is: curated by Provinciale11
hosted by #ComunediMulazzo realised with the support of @gal_lunigiana , UCL Lunigiana, and Fondazione CRC - Cassa di Risparmio Carrara

Exhibition: Between the Garbage and the Flowers by Djellza Azemi
Curated by Arnold Braho
@zerozerobeb@arnbrh
Swiss-Kosovar artist Djellza Azemi comes to Shkodër with her first solo exhibition, at Art House during the 9th edition of Ekrani i Artit.
This exhibition will unfold a world aligned with the spirit of Avash, Avash: a call to move gently, to linger, and to embrace slowness as a way of seeing and being. Through sculptural gestures and poetic spatial interventions, Azemi will invite viewers into a space of quiet transformation and to an experience that resists immediacy and instead unfolds slowly, between presence and disappearance.
Between the Garbage and the Flowers explores the poetic dimension of the home, diasporic memory, and refuge. The artist’s work defuses this condition: not a form of control, but a constant negotiation between familiarity and alterity.

More about the artist:
Djellza Azemi (b. 1998, Aigle) is a Lausanne-based artist who completed her BA (2020) and MFA (2022) at ECAL in Renens.
Her sculptural practice draws on the garden as a transitional space between private and public realms, exploring how time transforms materials and memory.
Her work has been shown in exhibitions across Europe, including Kunstverein Braunschweig, Tirana Art Weekend, and the National Gallery in Prishtina, alongside several solo presentations.

Some installation views and details from Again (Again), an exhibition recently held in Giudecca, Venice, during the opening days of the Biennale. This project featured works by Daria Dmytrenko, Bogdan Koshevoy and Barbara Prenka, and was curated by Arnold Braho, project managed by Giada Bartolini.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by - they were such beautiful days, surrounded by people we love. Happy that the project and the works resonated with so many of you ✨
#seccigallery
We are pleased to announce Again (Again), an exhibition project with works by Daria Dmytrenko, Barbara Prenka and Bogdan Koshevoy, curated by Arnold Braho, presented on the occasion of the opening days of the Venice Biennale.
Again (Again) brings together three distinct yet resonant practices, and unfolds as a reflection on repetition understood as a restaging of memory: the phantasmatic return of images, gestures and practices that follow not a temporal but rather a spatial linearity, from an East European perspective, resurfacing through successive stratifications. Repetition is here understood as a process of continuous inscription, in which the past manifests in the present as active residue and spectral presence.
Dmytrenko’s work evokes suspended emotional landscapes through a material sensibility and layered surfaces, in which memory appears sedimented and unstable: layers that address amnesia, what is deposited and what is lost. Prenka works reducing form to precise and silent gestures that interrogate repetition as a process of formation and dissolution, between archive and historical memory. Her embroidery draws inspiration in its forms and colours from contemporary social practices and new philosophical and scientific openings. Koshevoy operates against a backdrop of post-industrial, decaying architecture, from which images, forms and returns emerge: repetition becomes method and temporal logic, producing ever-shifting relations between figure and ground.
📍 Venice, Giudecca 212/c

Happy to share my article on ‘Pedagogies of War’ exhibition by @yaremaandkhimei , curated by @the_chus_martinez , at the @museothyssen@tba_21 in Madrid.
The article opens up themes explored in the exhibition: reenactment and the reactivation of history, war as a continuous practice, operational images, and the “fog” between events: those moments of waiting and uncertainty that structure conflict beyond spectacle.
Thanks @artribune

Text by Arnold Braho
The logic underlying Odin’s practice is that of détournement: objects conceived for a military function are here
removed from their original context and reactivated as elements of a critical visual and conceptual experience.
CASSA N.1. ANIMA (2026) opens the exhibition, and the series of structures displayed in the first room of FRENCH
PLACE—probably intended for the transport of industrial materials linked to armament production—
become here carriers of meaning, points of intersection between industrial history, conflict, and material memory.
Their structural qualities, the rigidity of the wood, and the traces of transport and wear stage a critical residue: what
remains between one event and another, between one operational image and another. Each crate, despite its
apparent anonymity, thus conveys the layering of functions and temporalities, inviting the viewer to confront
what normally remains invisible in the logistics, production, and perception of war. What materialistic legacy do
they leave today for our understanding of the contemporary?
