ALBUM is interested in the spark before the fire. The charged, electric moment where ideas are born. We chase the point of ignition – staying close to ideas and the people behind them. Listening closely, tracing connections, giving those voices a platform to travel.

After two decades of building exhibitions, orchestrating conversations, and cultivating communities – we refused to launch another media brand constrained by format, schedule, or genre. ALBUM isn’t a magazine. No editorial calendar. No predictable rhythm. No predetermined form. It’s a living platform that evolves with the velocity of contemporary culture.

Founded by Nacho Alegre, Paul Cournet, and Marco Velardi.

Apartamento presents Silhouettes: Celebrating 15 years, an exhibition by Muller Van Severen, Courtesy of
Tim Van Laere Gallery, Antwerp - Rome, taking place at Ordet.
Central to the presentation are fifteen unique, life-size aluminum candle holders. Each form is an abstract reinterpretation of recurring motifs from the oeuvre: chairs, cabinets, lamps, vases, and sculptural structures. Through rotation, inversion, or closure, these archetypal forms are reduced to their contours, to silhouettes that abandon their original function and manifest themselves as autonomous signs in space. The space will also host the Apartamento Bookshop.
