Curated by Giuseppe Moscatello, Nation 2.0 unfolds within a green-screen presentation that brings together works by Sasha Sime, Scerbo, Fakewhale Studio and Nation 2.0, exploring contemporary art and new technologies through questions of speculative infrastructure.
At the centre, Sasha Sime’s Subtle Presence, developed with Nation 2.0, gives the presentation its structural core: a monumental golden scaffolding and computational system where data appears as circulation, transmission and control. On the surrounding walls, Scerbo’s TOPWAY APART treats AI not as a tool, but as a volatile material, pushing images into unstable forms where imagined gestures and impossible spaces begin to surface. Fakewhale extends this field through a research-led practice of curation, publishing and exchange, tracing how artists and algorithms reshape one another’s visual languages. In END, Nation 2.0 turns toward political architecture, presenting empty parliaments occupied by a golden structure resembling a quantum computer, where the theatre of debate gives way to silent, automated power.

Foundry opened the exhibition titled Nation 2.0 yesterday as part of Art Dubai 2026, curated by Giuseppe Moscatello.
Conceived as an immersive infrastructural environment, the project brings together a collaborative installation by Sasha Sime and Nation 2.0 alongside works by Fakewhale Studio, Scerbo, and Nation 2.0.
Exploring the intersection of systems, data, infrastructure, and human behaviour, Nation 2.0 unfolds as a speculative landscape shaped by contemporary technologies and evolving mechanisms of control.
Commissioned and produced by Foundry.
The exhibition runs until 17 May.

After one year of preparation, we finally launched The Foundry Show, a new series of conversations exploring the ideas, people, and cultural shifts shaping today’s evolving art and culture ecosystem.
Through interviews with artists, curators, thinkers, gallerists, and cultural practitioners, the series aims to document not only what we do at Foundry, but also the broader transformations redefining contemporary creative practice.
Coinciding with Foundry’s five-year anniversary, this first episode features a conversation between Anna Seaman and myself, reflecting on Foundry’s vision, its experimental programming model, what we have built over the past five years, and the ideas driving its future direction.
Watch now on YouTube and Spotify.

In this inaugural episode of The Foundry Show, Anna Seaman sits down with Foundry co-founder Giuseppe Moscatello to reflect on the vision, ideas, and challenges that have shaped Foundry over the past five years.
The conversation explores Foundry’s experimental programming model, its relationship to the rapidly evolving city of Dubai, and the thinking behind building a cultural space that operates outside conventional norms. From questioning traditional exhibition formats to supporting emerging and unconventional artistic practices, the episode examines how Foundry has positioned itself within an increasingly shifting cultural landscape.
Through this dialogue, the episode offers a closer look at the role of cultural spaces today, and the importance of creating platforms that remain flexible, accessible, and open to experimentation.
