We are such stuff as dreams are made on* ,  and Matt McCormick’s exhibition Running on Empty brings that to life. The Los Angeles-based Californian revisits his teenage years—a time when, for each of us, a new world opens up, filled with intimate stories and powerful ideals. McCormick offers insight into his work, navigating between contemporary mythologies and moments of serene elevation.

“Running On Empty explores adolescence as a kind of atmospheric condition—formative, fractured, and unfinished. It’s a space where the world is first encountered in all its volatility: moments of intimacy and violence, stillness and speed, discovery and shame. These years are often framed as something we outgrow, but they shape the architecture of how we see—what we long for, what we fear, and what stays with us.

The work moves between painting, sculpture, video, and photography, but the throughline isn’t medium—it’s memory. Not memory as record, but memory as sensation: how it distorts, repeats, vanishes, and reemerges. The images I use aren’t autobiographical, but they feel like they could be. They’re sourced from digital platforms—Tumblr, Pinterest, YouTube—places that now function as collective memory archives. They reflect the way a generation has learned to experience itself: through reblogged emotion, ambient imagery, and the aesthetics of secondhand nostalgia.

There’s a shift I’m interested in—from adolescence as something lived outdoors, physical and unfiltered, to something increasingly remote, observed through screens. This work traces that movement—not to critique it, but to sit with what’s changed. How experience becomes curated. How identity gets rehearsed. How memory becomes less about what happened, and more about what was documented, shared, or endlessly replayed.

I’m not trying to tell stories in a linear way. The work deals more in fragments—small ruptures, unresolved gestures, open loops. The tone shifts between tenderness and unease. There are moments that feel cinematic, but the narrative is unstable, disjointed, like memory itself. Some images repeat across mediums, but shift in meaning depending on their context—like a phrase that starts to sound strange after you say it too many times.

There’s also a question of myth. American youth is constantly mythologized—by media, by advertising, by art. It’s aestheticized and flattened, even in its most volatile forms. This work pushes back on that. It tries to hold the contradictions: beauty and violence, joy and danger, freedom and disillusionment. Not to resolve them, but to leave space for the emotional weight they carry.

Running On Empty isn’t just about adolescence. It’s about how adolescence stays with us. How those early experiences—no matter how abstract or fragmented—continue to shape the way we remember, the way we construct meaning, and the way we see ourselves moving through the world. It’s about the tension between what we lived and what we’ve absorbed. What we carry, even if we don’t know it.”

About Renk

Born as Walig Nicolet in Rennes, France (b. 1987), he began tagging in the year 2000 with the blaze 100REMOR after seeing a TV report about graffiti. A few years later, he met several taggers and graffiti enthusiasts during his training in communication in Bagnolet. He then changed his name to Renkar, before choosing Renk in 2007, which became his artist name. Starting 2011, following a revelation during a trip to the Sinai desert in Egypt, Renk has fully dedicated himself to paintings on canvas. “One evening, while watching the sunset, Walig had an epiphanic moment. The sky and the colours seemed to speak to him. The message was clear and concise: ‘painting will be your whole life’. (David Rosenberg, Renk, Éditions Skira, 2021)

Renk lives and works in Paris, France.

Galerie 75 Faubourg, in collaboration with Galerie Enrico Navarra (Paris) and Yoshii Gallery (New York), showcases « Makoto Ofune, Eternity », from April 30th to June 13th, 2025

eternity – ephemerality

I have been pursuing the means for communicating with somewhere not 

“now and here.”

Through long and ancient memories that stones and pigments possess,
through senses of interpenetration with far distance upon facing
scenery, and through perceptions of winds and surrounding environments.

The meteorite existing there would disclose the connection with
spacetime far beyond imagination.

As our inner lives at all times present with memories of the past and
thoughts for the future, each and every reality that exists now and
here is connected to eternity in some way.

This fact concurrently brings back realization of our “now and here”
existence, then brings about touching ephemerality.

Makoto Ofune, 2025

Makoto Ofune creates work imbued with silence, slowness, and contemplation. Using powdered mineral pigments applied to Japanese hemp paper, stone, or crystals, he crafts delicate surfaces where the act of repetition becomes a form of meditation. Through this practice, he explores the subtle connections between the ephemeral and the eternal, the visible and the invisible, matter and breath.

His works, both fragile and powerful, embody a search for resonance with the deep rhythms of nature. They convey a fundamental sensory experience, in which intimate perception meets a cosmic vision of the world. His palette, full of nuance and restraint, evokes a kind of visual asceticism in harmony with Zen aesthetics and philosophy.

Ronnie Cutrone’s career began at the Factory in 1965. After performing with the Velvet Underground band, produced by Andy Warhol, he became one of his closest collaborators. He worked alongside him on the launch of Interview magazine and on certain series such as the “Piss paintings”, for which Warhol asked him to take extra doses of vitamin B to improve the oxidation reactivity of his urine. He immortalized daily life at the Factory in a series of stereoscopic 3D color photographs, including images of Warhol at work and shots of his visitors, among whom Mick Jagger, Debbie Harry, Dennis Hopper and Paloma Picasso.

A key player in this era, he was a privileged witness to artistic movements ranging from punk to pop. It was in this context that Cutrone developed his own artistic practice and post-Pop imagery, featuring iconic characters such as Woody Woodpecker, Bart Simpson and Bugs Bunny. A true testimony to the creative effervescence of New York, his works were first exhibited at the Richard Feigen Gallery in 1969 and have been in important private and public collections since his success at Art Basel in 1982.
