For Liste Basel, Emanuel de Carvalho presents works developed in dialogue with philosopher Catherine Malabou, positioning his practice between theory and material form. Across painting and sculpture, he stages forms that suspend function and defer meaning. Drawing on Derrida and Malabou, the works propose form as something that persists through rupture, producing perceptual disorientation as a generative condition.
Emanuel de Carvalho is a Portuguese-Canadian artist. He holds an MA in Painting from the RCA, London, and a PhD in Medicine from the University of Amsterdam. Exhibitions include Galerie Molitor, Berlin; Gathering, London; Duarte Sequeira, Seoul; Perrotin, Paris; X Museum, China; and Hauser & Wirth, UK. De Carvalho’s practice examines moral and societal codes through psychophysical perception.
