Intersect is a collective of artist-designers from the Design Academy Eindhoven, united by the belief that the visual arts should be accessible, inclusive, and transdisciplinary. Presque Demain explored our near future through the materiality of the present. By playing with the ambiguity of the exhibition title, it embraced uncertainty as fertile ground for new imaginaries. Rather than grouping works by discipline, it favoured their overlap and challenged established formats. The exhibition created spaces where elements come together to weave shared narratives. Between dreamscape and fragments of reality, these dialogues aimed to open the door to new collective practices.

Unspoken Codes, the debut exhibition of Common Names, a youth-led initiative founded by Cici Zhu, will be on view at Art Share L.A. from October 18–31. What began as a school project has grown into a platform exploring how art helps us move through uncertainty, identity, and belonging. Featuring diverse voices across painting, sculpture, photography, and installation, the exhibition reflects on resilience and connection. At its core is the belief that while our backgrounds may differ, artist is our common name, and art is the language that binds us.
