FADE OUT
Arthur Cordier, María José Crespo and Amir Torres Darwich
January 16 till February 13, 2026
Opening: Friday, January 16 from 18:00 till 22:00

C A S S T L in collaboration with BURO_ASAP present FADE OUT, a group exhibition curated by Jesse Siegel. 

FADE OUT brings together three artists, Arthur Cordier, María José Crespo and Amir Torres Darwich, whose works explore traces left behind in a world saturated by media and consumer culture: fragments of thought, memory, and materiality.

Rather than presenting critique in grand gestures, FADE OUT lingers in the messy boundaries, the slightly damaged, the overlooked critical remnants that survive under the weight of spectacle. The works resist erasure by confronting saturation head-on and by tracing its aftermath: informational debris that is reformulated. These critical remnants are fractured, often unconscious traces of individuality that survive the overwhelming forces of ideological conformity, offering a faint, but vital, possibility of resistance within a largely administered world.

In a moment when our attention is relentlessly managed and monetized, the artworks offer a collective sign towards what remains after all the noise fades. They suggest that even within a world designed to exhaust and absorb us, sometimes there are persistent fragments of freedom, memory, and critical thought, waiting to be noticed.         

Arthur Cordier (b. 1993, BE) worked in an advertising agency, he hates advertising. From the experience remained a constant interest in the study of urban and commercial trickery – also known in French as roublardise. To reveal the economical construct of urban contexts, he uses the effectiveness of commercial strategies against itself in a tautological and often parasitic manner.

To a further extent he tackles the aesthetics of bureaucracy, entrepreneurship, and efficiency through relational, situational and contextually specific works, self-reflecting upon the economy of artistic practice in a production-driven society.
