Fragile Structures: The Architecture of Decay
ACT
July 30 - September 12, 2026

This exhibition is a collaboration between visual artists Madeline Cardone and Fran Romano. Working in glass and ceramics respectively, the artists share an overlapping conceptual and material language. Both are fascinated by the built environment, exploring ruins, decay, voids and architectural phenomenology through the deconstruction and reconstruction of space. They share a common cultural heritage that informs their practices and strengthens this collaboration.

This body of sculptural work encompasses a collection of wall, plinth and floor based pieces. The works emphasise the tactility and surface qualities of the materials, encouraging viewers to enter the space and interact with the works themselves, experiencing a sense of structure and void. The artists aim to create an enveloping, comforting and private space within a space, mirroring the experience of entering an architectural environment.
