INTUITION X

IntuitionX is a living field of exchange where art, thought, and inquiry converge in purpose.

Founded in 2017 by curator and gallerist Akim Monet, it explores the transformation we’re living through: myths becoming real, matter dissolving into the immaterial, consciousness emerging from form.

Through essays, exhibitions, salons, and conversations, IntuitionX creates spaces—both physical and mental—for navigating this passage with conscious awareness.

What began in 2017 as an inquiry into how myths relate to science has evolved into an exploration of the fundamental transformation we’re living through: the jump from the material to the immaterial.

The breakthrough came with the exhibition Mythology & Science in Berlin (Fall 2017), which revealed that stories we once called myths were not only about the past—they were visions of what was to come. The chimera now exists in genetic laboratories. Pygmalion’s sculpture lives through artificial intelligence. What we once imagined, we now enact materially.

That realization became the compass for everything that followed: if myths are becoming real, then Rodin’s investigation of transformation in bronze maps the threshold we’re crossing now. Matter straining toward spirit. Form becoming consciousness. The material dissolving into the immaterial.

IntuitionX exists to navigate this passage consciously—to create the conditions in which we can understand what’s happening and meet this moment with awareness rather than anxiety.

Born into art in 1968, Akim Monet's earliest visual memory is of a vast expanse of blue—an important Yves Klein painting titled California—set against a backdrop of Egyptian and Greek antiquities, all housed within the shrine-like interior of a Swiss mountain home near Gstaad.

After earning a B.A. in Comparative Literature and Art History from Cornell University, Akim embarked, at age 22, on a curatorial journey that would see him privately mount nearly thirty exhibitions, beginning in Switzerland with La poésie de l'objet – from Duchamp to Steinbach.

Following several years in New York—working privately and as Director of Sales for North America for legendary Picasso dealer Jan Krugier—he opened his own exhibition space in 2011: Side by Side Gallery Akim Monet. The Welt am Sonntag hailed it as "the latest and most spectacular addition to the Berlin gallery scene."

Training with Jan Krugier taught Akim that great art dealing is not about transactions—it is about transmission. There he learned to see the cosmological weight inside objects, to understand that every artwork carries a worldview.

Over the next seven years in Berlin, he developed an acclaimed program that opened with Fertility, featuring works by Rodin, Kirchner, Grosz, Bourgeois, and Emin, and concluded with Mythology & Science, a landmark exhibition asserting—through the language of art—that we are living in an unprecedented moment in the history of humanity, one in which science and technology appear to realize myths born in antiquity.

That 2017 exhibition became the breakthrough: it revealed that the myths we once told to explain ourselves were not merely stories about the past—they were visions of what was to come. The chimera exists now in genetic laboratories. Pygmalion's living statue walks among us as artificial intelligence. Ancient myths have become operational. That realization became the compass for everything that followed, and the foundation of IntuitionX.

In 2018, continuing his lifelong engagement with the most resonant expressions of culture—and seeking to offer his twin sons an environment attuned to the building blocks of the future—Akim relocated with his French-Italian wife, Anne-Marie Visconti, to the United States, where he established an American hub for his activities under the banner of Akim Monet Fine Arts

Now based in Dallas, he continues to represent the Estate of Auguste Rodin, with which he has been closely associated for several years. His focus includes expanding the narrative around Les Inédits—the plaster models bequeathed by Rodin to the French State in 1916, many of which have only recently been cast in bronze for the first time. These are not vintage Rodins—they are new old masters, entering the world after more than a century.

In parallel, Akim continues to develop his artistic practice in the field of photography.

Over 35 years and more than 30 exhibitions across Switzerland, New York, Berlin, Los Angeles, and Dallas, Akim has built a practice at the intersection of historical mastery and contemporary inquiry. He operates across four global axes: the United States (New York, Miami, Dallas), Europe (London, Paris, Switzerland), Italy (Turin, Florence, Venice, Grotte di Castro), and Asia (Hong Kong, Singapore, Shanghai).

His work is not regional. It is cosmological.

Through IntuitionX and Akim Monet Fine Arts, he guides collectors, institutions, and thinkers across the threshold of the immaterial age—creating spaces where consciousness, art, and meaning converge.

His mission: to reveal the structure of the universe through art.
