Artist Talk with Madeleine Fenwick and Kane Calì
A walk-on stainless steel seesaw that only works when two
people engage with each other. Metal reliefs inscribed with
war images pulled from the internet - sharp from a single
vantage point only; whoever moves loses it.
With SEE / SAW, the Berlin gallery AOA;87
and R Gallery from Malta, present a joint exhibition for Berlin Art Week 2026 that makes its own condition of creation its subject: two houses at opposite edges of Europe holding each other in balance - neither absorbing the other.
The system resets itself and starts over. Whoever stands
before the polished surfaces and sees themselves reflected
in them is no longer a viewer, but part of the equation.
A room-filling seesaw makes this physical: here, balance is not
something you look at; it's something you have to
perform, with your own weight, against another's.
MADELEINE FENWICK
Madeleine Fenwick is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice engages material as both
subject and collaborator. Working primarily through sculpture and installation, she
investigates how matter carries myth, labour, and cultural residue while resisting fixed
meaning. Her work balances rigour with play, testing the limits of material transformation.
Fenwick approaches making as a form of embodied cognition. Material and process
function as parallel linguistic systems through which thought can be articulated.
Sculptural objects become sites where repetition, physical action, and duration converge.
Following an intensive period of residencies in Mexico City, where she worked alongside
established artists and apprenticed with master metalworkers, her practice expanded
towards large-scale contemplative installations exploring unstable boundaries between
the physical and intangible forces — gravity, endurance, entropy.
Fenwick has exhibited internationally, with works held in private collections across the
UK, Europe, and North America. Born in London, she graduated with a BA in Fine Art
from the City & Guilds School of Art in 2012 and has been based in Malta since 2014.
KANE CALI
Kane Cali was born in Malta in 1983. An experimentalist with an acute fascination with the malleability of data, Calì has explored various media, most notably ceramics, glass and 3D printing. While allowing his tools to identify and capture content within both the landscape of the virtual and that of the real, his artistic practice mirrors humanity’s desire for advancement, while remaining firmly grounded in tangible, everyday surroundings. His artistic development reflects a personal interest in critical theory and contemporary political discourse.
With a studio based in Malta, Calì has presented work that is two and three dimensional, with a growing interest in public art. He completed an MA in Ceramics and Glass from the Royal College of Art and has since exhibited locally and in major international cities including Milan, London, Berlin, Copenhagen and Shanghai.
