Episode II: Francis Offman - Materials form a language.
„Materials form a language.“ But Adorno reminds us: there’s no such thing as innocent material. Every coffee ground, every scrap of paper carries meaning. In this episode, we explore how artist Francis Offman uses found materials to speak what can’t be represented.

Episode I (Part III): In Minor Keys
"To shift to a slower gear and tune in to the frequencies of the minor keys." – Koyo Kouoh, from her curatorial statement for the 61st Venice Biennale. In Part 3, we explore the historical and contemporary dimensions of "In Minor Keys". From Giotto's 14th-century Cappella degli Scrovegni to Pierre Huyghe's Liminal at Punta della Dogana, we trace how contemplative, site-specific practice has always demanded slowness. A conversation about finding meaning in Venice's layered past and present.
