Yoox x SLEEK: Italian Cocktail at Schattenlos Atelier
During Berlin Art Week, YOOX and SLEEK co-hosted an evening at Schattenlos Atelier featuring the work of Italian sculptor and painter Gabriella Furno. The atelier, positioned near the former Stasi prison in Hohenschönhausen, exhibited Furno’s figurative sculptures and paintings rendered in luminous reds, oranges and blues—bodies arrested in gesture and emotional intensity, with forms dissolving into one another. Furno, who divides time between Palermo and Berlin, incorporates Mediterranean and Central European influences into her practice, using materials including soil from Pantelleria. Her work addresses human dignity and vulnerability, shaped by migration narratives encountered in Palermo’s Ballarò quarter. The event drew Berlin’s creative community across art, fashion and music; performer Alvin Collantes delivered a live work interrogating ritual, spectacle, visibility and vulnerability. Photography by Arne Schirmer documents the convergence of artwork, atmosphere and social experience.
