Black Void presents its first solo exhibition, The Sky, Oscillating, at the historic Bund·City Hall as part of the 24th China Shanghai International Arts Festival. The interdisciplinary collective, founded and directed by Yixuan Cai, with partner Yuhan Xiao and core member Yun Hong, brings together practitioners from digital media, architecture, data science, and music. The exhibition gathers more than ten works developed across three years of research, using light, atmospheric data, and spatial installation to examine the relationship between natural systems and human-made infrastructures.

Inverse Ruin by Gijs Van Vaerenbergh stands within the Archaeological Park of Herakleia in Policoro, Italy a quiet expanse where traces of the Archaic Temple meet the open landscape of the Ionian plain. Developed as part of the broader project Siris, curated by STUDIO STUDIO STUDIO with artistic direction by Antonio Oriente, the installation forms one of several interventions intended to bring clarity to a site shaped by layered histories.

What makes this work so compelling is how it plays with reflection and perception. The polished aluminum surface doesn't just sit there looking pretty. It actively engages with its surroundings, capturing the shifting desert light, the blue Egyptian sky, and the ancient stones in a constantly changing display. Depending on where you stand and what time of day you visit, you're basically looking at a different artwork. It's responsive design taken to a literal, sculptural extreme.

The Seoul Museum of Art presents 'Ernesto Neto: Ba Ka Ba, a Dance of the Eternal Polarities,' a new site-specific installation by the Brazilian artist that transforms the Korean museum's Seosomun Main Branch lobby into a sensory environment. Commissioned as part of the 2025 SeMA Public Space Project, the woven artwork expands Ernesto Neto's longstanding interest in the relationships between body, space, and collective experience.
