In 2026, the independent artists’ collective pilote marked its tenth anniversary with the group exhibition Decade x Dialogue. Bringing together current and former members alongside invited artistic positions, the exhibition initiated a polyphonic exchange that revealed the collective’s evolving working relationships while opening them to new perspectives.

Founded in 2016, pilote is a collective of internationally active artists connected through Berlin, who collaboratively develop site-responsive exhibition formats. Initially conceived as an artist-run gallery, it later evolved into a mobile curatorial exhibition project operating across changing locations. At the core of pilote’s practice is a collective approach described as a polyphonic co-existence: participating artists maintain their individual positions while working together thematically and curatorially on joint projects, often in collaboration with guest curators and additional contributors. Rather than functioning as a traditional gallery, the collective understands itself as a flexible structure for production and presentation that experiments with exhibition formats and different media. It connects photography, video, installation, sculpture, drawing, and performance alike.
