We are pleased to present “The Skin of a River, 2026” by Boris Acket as part of “The Open Wound” exhibition, a site-specific installation commissioned by Artsa @_artsa.co @selcanatilgann The installation is on view at Palazzo Nani Bernardo through May 27. Inspired by Heraclitus’ famous saying, “You can never stand in the same river twice,” this kinetic installation reflects the constant flux of time and memory. The unframed work is made from a fabric that reshapes itself in response to visitors and environmental changes, embodying a lived moment that is always becoming. Accompanying it are two still works, The Skin of a River, Framed — Inota I and Inota II, which capture the transient beauty of the fabric, preserving its history of movement and transformation.

Most people discuss success in the art world. Few discuss what it actually takes to build it. Pilar Corrias opened her gallery in 2008, in the middle of a global financial crisis, at a time when others were closing their doors. She chose not to wait for the “right moment” but to create one. Her approach reflects a deeper shift in how galleries operate today: less about reacting to the market, more about shaping it. From backing artists early to taking risks at the primary level, her perspective reminds us that building something meaningful in the art world requires more than strategy. It requires belief. In conversation with Pilar Corrias, Daria Borisova explores what it means to lead with instinct, support artists long-term, and build a gallery that stands the test of time. 🔗 Read the full interview via the link in bio. #PilarCorrias #ArtMarketVoices #ContemporaryArt #ArtGalleries #MutualArt
