Today you can listen to the very first episode of the Misunderstandings podcast, with my guest Banks Violette. It was an absolute pleasure talking to Banks about his work in the context of my research into understanding and its opposite. We talked about Steven Parrino, new gothic art, and the stories that art can tell. Thank you to Tick Tack in Antwerp for hosting us in their space and Christopher Gerberding for producing the episode. Available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Link in Bio. Misunderstandings is a series about art, understanding, and its opposite. Presented by Krzysztof Honowski, Misunderstandings probes the productive potential of miscommunication. What began as two books of in-depth conversations is now a podcast series. This inaugural episode features artist Banks Violette. A pioneer of new gothic art in early 2000s New York, Banks experienced a meteoric rise, including a seminal show at the Whitney Museum. Having stepped away from showing art for nearly a decade, he's now back, and after a major retrospective at BPS22, Charleroi, he began 2026 with Wish You Were Here. This was a multi-storey installation in collaboration with Stephen O'Malley at Tick Tack in Antwerp, Belgium. And it is in the basement of Tick Tack that this conversation was recorded. Misunderstandings is produced by Christopher Gerberding for Temporary Room, his nomadic curatorial project. A new edition of Misunderstandings, combining both books of conversations, with Mi You, Felicita, Clare Molloy, and Bishop Black, among others, is available to purchase @temporaryroom #livesofperformers #banksviolette #misunderstandings #krzysztofhonowski #stevenparrino

Many thanks to @kr.hombyo for the opportunity to co-curate an exhibition in their unique, medieval, timber framed spaces ! It was a great pleasure to work with such witty and wonderful artists as @onur.abaci_ @nina_paszkowski @kaylottz and @__hannahschneider__ There it goes, the dream. Not with a bang, but a hush. No grand goodbye, no final fanfare. Just a quiet slip through fingers that once held it tight. It used to blaze—filling nights with plans, hearts with fire. But life got loud. Doubt crept in. And the dream, once bold, began to whisper. Now, in a house that’s stood since the 16th century, where time lingers in timber and stone, four artists gather. Their works echo between presence and absence, exploring what fades... and what remains. A group exhibition. A conversation between disappearing and being. Co-curating this show with @malte_taffner has been an incredibly positive, healthy, and joyful experience. A truly nourishing collaboration on every level. ‘There it goes, the dream’ is a collaboration between @kr.hombyo and @temporaryroom , and part of the ‘Meet me in the Garden’ event series organized by @seitwaerts.aufwaerts at @spay25mosel Funded by @kultursommerrlp and Sparkasse Mittelmosel. 📸 @malte_taffner #krhombyo #temporaryroom #thereitgoesthedream #onurabacı #ninapaszkowski #kaylottepommer #hannahschneider #kultursommerrlp #spay25 #seitwaertsaufwaerts #contemporaryart #moselkultur #mosel #exhibition #contemporarysculpture

The last stage of the exhibition project between Iceland and Cologne came to an end with „Milky Dreams & Pearly Wheels“. I am very grateful to the @artrmx for their initiating power and the invitation as curator. Many thanks to @claire.paugam with whom I was able to curate this exhibition. It was a great enrichment and pleasure to work with such playful, poetic and engaged artists as @lukasgregorbury , @berglind_jona , @unabjoerg and @claire.paugam ! What a great week we all had in Cologne ! 🌕🌓🌖🌕 The works of Lukas Bury, Clair Paugam, Una Magnusdottir and Berglind Jóna Hlynsdottir deal with the blurred image of the expectations of a journey. Whether an escape from everyday life or exile - the focus is on the overlaps between the familiar and the unusual or even the uncanny. At the centre is a confrontation with the perception of the outside world and how this can be alienated. Perspectives are shifted and realities blur dangerously into fiction. 🌕🌓🌖🌕 Video editing and filming by @koenig_der_siebenschlaefer Soundwork by @berglind_jona in collaboration with the Band Dora made of Jānis Šipkēvics @janissipkevics and Gatis Zaķis Special thanks to the Theater Bonn to Thomas Spitzer for making many aspects of this show possible.

Many thanks to @y_gallery__ for the opportunity to curate an exhibition in their special space! It was a great pleasure to work with such dedicated artists as @laurasundermann @honowski @soleygendary and Bradley Davies The exhibition is on until the 28.10, for those who happen to be in Iceland, feel very welcome. Thank you @claire.paugam and @lukasgregorbury for making this project possible! Thank @leifurwilberg for the great exhibition pictures ! The exhibition deals concretely with the space of the Y Gallery as a non-place, divorced from its former function, yet placed within its dissonant echo. After all, if you look through either door to the gallery it will surely not be long before you see a car refuel. Indeed, it is only a matter of time before a driver comes in looking for chewing gum, only to find other nourishment herein. The Y Gallery is suspended hauntologically between futures, the post-war vision of Iceland as a car country, and the present hopes of a green new world. People and machines pass through here constantly, but rarely come to rest here. This agitation is taken up in the exhibition in works that carefully consider an excess of imagination, the uneasy processing that envelopes the brain unexpectedly in the dead of night. —— 🌑🌖🌑🌖—— This exhibition is the evil twin of Milky Dreams & Pearly Wheels which will take place in November in Cologne, Germany and feature the works of Iceland-based artists Una Björg Magnúsdóttir, Claire Paugam, Lukas Bury, and Berglind Jóna Hlynsdóttir.
