Set within a vast industrial space in Milan, Field Work unfolds through a sequence of spatial situations that may be experienced as stages within a larger journey. The works form an open system of interconnected fields, each retaining its own identity while contributing to a unified environment. Inviting visitors to wander, linger, and reflect at their own pace, the exhibition draws attention to what is already present. ![catapult contemporary Exhibition review of Tillmann Lauterbach and Weseeclearly: Field Work at Factory Eleven, Milan, 2026.

Presenting new and selected works by Tillmann Lauterbach and Weseeclearly, Field Work brings together two practices concerned with the underlying structures through which reality becomes perceptible. Both artists trace recurring patterns across different fields of knowledge, giving rise to works with distinct internal logics. Their works point towards forms of knowledge that may be intuitively sensed before they are consciously understood. The works enter into dialogue through contrasting materials, processes, and states of matter. Lauterbach's practice is rooted in the transformation and recontextualisation of stone, wood, metal, and found objects, whose surfaces retain traces of time, labour, and previous use. ![Exhibition review of Tillmann Lauterbach and Weseeclearly: Field Work at Factory Eleven, Milan, 2026.

Through selection, reduction, and recomposition, these materials become vessels for questions of memory, perception, and the relationship between matter and meaning. Weseeclearly approaches related questions through translucent fabric, geometry, light, and digital processes, exploring permeability, information, automation, and immaterial form. While Lauterbach's works emphasise density and duration, Weseeclearly introduces lightness, rhythm, and flux. Together, the two practices create a shifting balance between the analogue and the digital, the tangible and the intangible, permanence and transformation. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/1c/24/1c2478ff-417d-4e88-8226-288af467f6b9/content/images/2026/09/lauterbach-weseeclearly-field-work-factory-eleven-milan-2026-work-05.webp) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/1c/24/1c2478ff-417d-4e88-8226-288af467f6b9/content/images/2026/09/lauterbach-weseeclearly-field-work-factory-eleven-milan-2026-work-06-1.webp) Tillmann Lauterbach and Weseeclearly, Field Work, installation view, Factory Eleven, Milan, 2026\.

This openness extends to visitors, who participate through their own perceptions and interpretations and, more directly, by contributing input to a generative digital work. The exhibition therefore functions as an experiential framework in which meaning remains open, emerging in response to the visitor's encounter with the works. ![Exhibition review of Tillmann Lauterbach and Weseeclearly: Field Work at Factory Eleven, Milan, 2026.
