Where does an artwork actually live today? Ahead of @ContemporaryIst, SILK editor @knaack_nina explores the thinking behind ‘Cabinet of Curiosities’, our solo presentation of @fvckrender and the first major physical expression of our curatorial framework: UNCONTAINED. Following Fvckrender’s work from screen into physical form, the article asks a wider question: where can an artwork go? → silkarthouse.com/analysis/ca…

Inner Echo// Ahead of presenting @fvckrender at @Contemporaryist this September, we’re opening an early release from the collection we’ll be bringing to the fair. Inner Echo// takes one of Fvckrender’s digitally conceived forms into physical space, continuing a practice that moves between rendered worlds and the objects that emerge from them. Just 50 sculptures will be released, allocated by lottery to those who register. A first piece of what’s to come in Istanbul. More info coming soon. Stay tuned for the lottery release

SILK × Contemporary Istanbul 23–27 September 2026 This September, SILK returns to Istanbul to present the work of @fvckrender at @Contemporaryist, as the fair celebrates its 21st edition. For more than two decades, Contemporary Istanbul has brought artists, galleries, collectors and curators from around the world into the city. This year, we join them with a presentation exploring a practice that has continually moved between digital worlds and physical form. Fvckrender, the artist name of Frédéric Duquette, is a Vancouver-based digital artist who approaches his work as a visual diary. Drawing from his own experiences, his art has become a way of processing the past and making sense of where he is now. Bringing these two worlds together, SILK will present a new chapter of Fvckrender's practice in Istanbul, creating a physical encounter with a body of work shaped through digital space. We hope to see you there.
