Between one breath and the next, the world shifts. Perception softens, memory interrupts, and the body recalibrates itself in time.

Akin is proud to present Between Breaths, Between Places, an exhibition curated by Renato Baldin that features 14 members of the Akin Team, artists who are not only developing their own creative research, but who also form the team responsible for running and shaping the organization. Akin is an organization created by and for artists; a space that breathes through the art practices of its members. Like the exhibition itself, Akin emerges as a collective organism, adaptive, and in motion. What is presented here is not a fixed portrait of an institution, but a living constellation of practices, continually shaped by time, collaboration, and becoming. 

Bringing together photographic, sculptural, and video-based works, the exhibition explores states of transition and transformation. Bodies, materials, and environments are approached not as fixed forms, but as evolving systems shaped by time, memory, intervention, and care. Breath marks moments of presence and vulnerability, while places;physical, constructed, or virtual, remain unstable and porous.

Across the exhibition, the works reflect on impermanence, identity, and becoming. They suggest that art, like the body, is a living organism—continually negotiating its position between presence and disappearance, stability and change.

Participating Artists: Azadeh Pirazimian, Bettina Westwood, Charlotte Van Ryn, Faisal Karadsheh, Haley Meyer, Jen Pilles, Liliana Botero, Miles Ingrassia, Mykah Czarina, Oliver Pauk, Özge Aytekin, Renato Baldin,  Theresa Hopkins and Torin Craig.
