Some figures don’t just interpret the present, they shape it. Their visions become landmarks, their ideas leave a lasting imprint, resonating through time.
ICONS is our space dedicated to these essential voices: artists, thinkers, creators, and key figures in visual culture and beyond, who inspire our curatorial research and redefine the way we see the world.
