WHITE CHROME AND DEAD

BY MAGDALENA PETRONI

Basel, Switzerland 
June 16 - 22, 2025

For Liste Art Fair 2025, General Expenses presented White Chrome and Dead by Magdalena Petroni, an evocative exploration of life, death, and the organic-synthetic divide through Flatline Gothic materialism, a term coined by Mark Fisher. Metal sculptures—twisted chrome, car parts, and taxidermic rats—merge with chlorine-stained paintings, evoking eerie vibrancy. Blurring theory and fiction, the booth becomes a space where decay and creation coexist, inviting viewers into a gothic, yet industrial landscape.
