F.A.C. is a transmission from outside the known field like a satellite of subversion that is never captured by the gravity of the ordinary. Orbiting the structures of the mainstream, we remain deliberately uncaptured, observing, reconfiguring and projecting. Working across sculpture, installation, and hybrid forms, we operate between material presence and conceptual tension. This is not a position within the system. This is a signal from beyond it.

The Outpost

We founded in 2015, officially and with all the consequences of the case, the “Fronte Acciaio Cromato”, acronym F.A.C. Since then, even with retroactive effect, it has become to us synonymous to move on, travel. Creativity is not a big deal, the fusion of our surnames (Stahlberg and Krome), the creation of a fighting and rebel FRONT. New artists continuously join our core to realize projects with us. We are not a bunker. We value dialogue.
