Decay of natural latex sheets from Resonance in Liminal Matters, shown at @odaysfestival .Through interaction with attendees, exposure to environmental elements and the vibrations of sound, the natural latex sheets split and degraded over the three days. Evolving with the music festival each day, the structure was not static, changing its form and porosity, while becoming a physical record of the activities and conditions on site.

Resonance in Liminal Matters is an interactive pavilion that transforms music into textured, light-reactive surfaces, translating ephemeral sound into spatial, tactile experiences. Using generative design tools, music is converted into 3D-printed molds for casting biodegradable latex skins.

Exhibited at @odaysfestival , the result is a luminous structure that invites reflection, rest, and connection through shifting silhouettes and shared encounters. Built from modular, reusable components, the pavilion prioritises circular design and adaptability, evolving with each new context. It functions not as a final form, but as an ongoing exploration of how sound, material, time and architecture can resonate together.

Thank you to the team at @odaysfestival and @netcompany for making this possible!

Concluded presents the „L’intérieur et moi“ Show 2025, the first quarter-century show, which concluded on the 12th April 2025 at 9pm in Paris.

The performance unfolded in layers, beginning with the concepts of space, entry and participation. Queuing heightened the tension between observer and performer. As the show progressed, a new layer confronted the burdens of everyday life, adapting, remixing and evolving as a means of survival. In contrast, another segment overflowed the saturation of consumption, where beginnings and endings became indistinguishable amidst overwhelming facets. The final acts brought the group together in a tribute to the past, present and future through collective play. Ending in a shared moment of presence, with everyone gathered, performers and participants were invited to eat, play and come together to be for a short time Concluded.

As we near the holidays, we look back at this year, and the epic stations of 2024 on the beach. Soon enough we’ll be out there in February 2025 with a new line up of amazing installations by very talented artists and school teams and with the help of our generous sponsors and community partners.

If you enjoy Winter Stations and love the impact it makes in the city, as well as supports local and international artists, and would like to support us, please reach out! It’s through sponsors and grants we can continue to animate the beach and make the winter a little more colourful!

Art lovers, this one’s for you!

Some incredible installations from @winter.stations have touched down at YZD! These playful and breathtaking pieces, which once filled Toronto’s Beaches, are now bringing their creative energy to our Plaza.

Whether you missed them at the Beaches or just want to experience these works in a whole new way, YZD is where art and adventure meet.

YZD is quickly becoming the city’s public art destination—where creativity knows no boundaries. Come wander through the installations, snap your pics, and let the creativity inspire you in unexpected ways.

The Plaza, the outdoor extension of the Experience Centre, is a year-round outdoor space for people of all ages to play, socialize, and explore. This fall, the Plaza is temporarily showcasing several Winter Stations installations previously seen out on the beach earlier this year.

Kaleidoscopic Odyssey, Nimbus, Making Waves, and We Caught a UFO are on display now!

🦠 Last February, we presented the exhibition Bacteria Babies: Sip & See at @kontejner_org ‘s gallery space in Zagreb, Croatia.

Bacteria Babies is an installation made of bacterial cellulose, the result of an experimental research-artistic project conducted in 2023 in Vienna (AT) and Pula (HR) in collaboration with more than 60 participants. These participants welcomed ‘bacteria babies’ into their homes, workplaces, and institutions, caring for them with varying degrees of success. The project’s focus lies at the intersection of decentralised and collective production of bio-material bacterial cellulose and experimentation with its material properties. Opening the project to external participants introduced numerous unforeseen situations, raised new questions, revealed the interests, knowledge, and fears of the community, and contributed to the interpretative richness of the project. In other words, the task that initially seemed simple began unravelling as complex and intricate layers of interdependencies.

Thank you to @kontejner_org for producing the project and being an amazing team to work with, and thank you to all of the participants for making this project what it is <3

“TALAMO is a performative sculpture that turned the Ground Hall of @base_milano into a convivial laboratory for @miartmilano and @isaloniofficial 2024.

TALAMO takes multiple configurations - shaped by the force of gravity and kept in a restless state by @aris_and_martha ”

TALAMO: the installation by @_lemonot for @miartmilano
Structural design @openingegneria

A wide, lightweight bed that takes shape thanks to its movement between the ceiling and the floor, becoming a stage shaped initially by performative practices and later by audience involvement
🔹 A place to claim one’s identity, but at the same time to dialogue, accept and accept

Performance: @aris_and_martha @aris.papadopoulos_ @martha.pasakopoulou
Realization and production @noctisletti

TALAMO: l’installazione di @_lemonot in occasione della @miartmilano
Progettazione strutturale @openingegneria

Un ampio letto leggero che prende forma grazie al suo movimento tra il soffitto e il pavimento, diventando un palcoscenico modellato dapprima da pratiche performative e in seguito dal coinvolgimento del pubblico
🔹 Un luogo in cui rivendicare la propria identità, ma allo stesso tempo dialogare, accettarsi ed accettare
