In 2026, the independent artists’ collective pilote marks its tenth anniversary with the group exhibition Decade x Dialogue. Bringing together current and former members alongside invited artistic positions, the exhibition initiates a polyphonic exchange that reveals the collective’s evolving working relationships visible while opening them to new perspectives.
Conceived as both a process-oriented survey and a discursive platform, Decade x Dialogue reflects on collective practice between shared history and future artistic inquiries. The exhibition addresses key questions at the intersection of humans and nature, examining the increasingly ambiguous entanglements in a technologically shaped present. It questions presumed hierarchies, illuminates co-existence and hybridization, and positions humans as part of larger processes.
Particular attention is given to processes of temporality and sedimentation, understood as the continuous inscription of experiences, images, and material as well as the immaterial traces of individual and collective spaces of memory. The participating artistic positions, research and reflect on traces both as relics of past actions and as active agents in the production of future meaning.
Another focus lies on artistic engagements with archives—as epistemic structures, poetic repositories, and critical infrastructures of visual culture. Here, archives are not conceived as static sites of preservation but as dynamic systems of reorganization, overwriting, and the renegotiation of history. In this context, spaces are examined in both their physical and virtual dimensions: as hybrid fields of experience between analog and digital spheres in which perception, memory, and presence are newly configured.
Images are no longer understood as discrete objects but as processual entities moving through continuous transformations, distributions, and recontextualizations. Decade x Dialogue thus positions itself as a reflective space in which artistic practices engage with the material, technical, and discursive conditions of their own present.
