WEATHER REPORT – GROUP SHOW

From October 6, 2019 to August 23, 2020
The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, 258 Main Street Ridgefield, CT 06877, USA

The Weather Report will reveal the sky as a site where the aesthetic, the romantic, the political, the social, and the scientific co-exist and inform one another. The depiction of weather in the visual arts is traditionally linked with either landscape painting or photography, but in the last several decades artists have increasingly turned to other media to explore weather and, by extension, the larger subject of the Earth’s atmosphere. Weather Report presents a group of diverse international artists who reference weather in provocative ways through sculpture, drawing, painting, installation, and video.

Muzeum Slaskie, Dobrowolskiego 1 40-205 Katowice, Poland

Talented Chiharu Shiota laid her artistic web entitled ‘Counting memories’ in a polish museum, in Katowice.
The immersive works gives a tangible perception of the universe, as the artist explains : “With this installation, I want to visualize the universe within this space. A massive cloud of intertwined lines fills the room; it floats above a collection of nine tables and chairs. The network holds hundreds of white numbers like stars in the night sky.”

Oda Jaune
THE CARESS 

TRAVELLING PROJECT, BULGARIAFrom September 2018 to May 2019

Oda Jaune is presenting a new artistic project travelling through the remote, unspoiled landscapes of Bulgaria. Her sculpture The Caress, created in summer 2018, has been on the move since September, following a secret itinerary that will conclude near Sofia in spring 2019. The sculpture, first installed on the rocky shores of the Black Sea in Varvara, currently overlooks the Kaolin quarries in Vetovo, close to the Danube. Oda Jaune’s dream was to rise to the challenge of creating an encounter, where a subtle work, open to interpretation, meets nature and local people. Her Caress, with its delicate and sensual draping, evokes the Pietà artistic tradition. The work is unsettling, questioning the concept of fusion and the nature of the love that binds the protagonists: are they mother and son, lovers, twins? The reactions of local residents and passers-by to this enigmatic work, displayed far from a museum setting, are an integral part of the project.

CIRCADIAN RHYTHMS: CONTEMPORARY ART AND BIOLOGICAL TIME – GROUP SHOW

THE LEWIS GLUCKSMAN GALLERY, UNIVERSITY COLLEGE CORK, IRELANDFrom 01/08/2019 to 03/11/2019

All life on earth – humans, other animals, plants and even bacteria – carry out biological processes to a 24-hour pattern of activity that mirrors the length of the earth day. Such processes are said to be subject to certain rhythms as they oscillate at different points during the 24-hour cycle, always following the same pattern of activity. Circadian Rhythms presents the work of Irish and international artists who explore these invisible forces through reflections on time, the cadence of working life, sleeping patterns, as well as through the impact of modern technologies that disrupt the natural world.

COMEBACK. ART HISTORICAL RENAISSANCE IN CONTEMPORARY ART – GROUP SHOW

KUNSTHALLE TÜBINGEN, TÜBIGEN, GERMANYFrom 20/07/2019 to 10/11/2019

Art history is making a comeback in the visual arts. Artists not only copy and appropriate paintings from bygone eras, but also respond more freely and playfully to the “mnemic energies” (Aby Warburg) stored in ancient works. More and more frequently, they try to summon up the collective heritage through performative strategies as well as through photographic and cinematic media.

KUNSTHALLE KREMS, KREMS, GERMANYFrom 14/07/2019 to 03/11/2019

Featured in it are works from the time when the race to the moon started in the 1950s, direct reactions to the moon landing after 1969, and also very recent positions of younger artists.

JIM DINE – GROUP SHOW

Gérard Garouste
GéRARD GAROUSTE ET L’éCOLE DES PROPHèTES – SOLO SHOW

LIEU DE MEMOIRE, CHAMBON-SUR-LIGNON, FRANCEFrom 05/07/2019 to 29/09/2019

This Summer, Gérard Garouste has expressed the wish to install some of his works in the new rooms of the Remembrance Place of Chambon sur Lignon. Familiar with the Talmud, the artist wanted to know more about these young Jews, who in the darkest hours of Nazism had reflected on the revival of Jewish thought by calling themselves, with a touch of provocation, the School of prophets. Gérard Garouste’s painting draws its inspiration from the Talmudic tradition, the horror of the Shoah and its personal history. The exhibition offers a journey between painting and biblical texts, between art and history, around a selection of paintings that resonate with the reflections of this group of thinkers.

TATTOO, L’ARTE SULLA PELLE – GROUP SHOW

MUSEO DEL'900, VENICE, ITALYFrom 05/07/2019 to 17/11/2019

M9 – The Museum of the 20th Century presents the Tattoo Exhibition, Stories on skin, organized in collaboration with Fondazione Torino Musei. The exhibition explores the worldwide and creative dimension of tattoos from an anthropological, historical, artistic and social point of view. Tattooing is a practice which has accompanied humanity since the dawn of time to the point that we find examples in mummified bodies in Europe, Asia and Africa. It is a means of expression which has never been abandoned, although its meaning has changed throughout the centuries: the intense tangle of contaminations and exchanges among different cultures, between East and West, which has always characterized the history of tattooing, goes on today with greater force amid a globalized world where cultural and commercial exchanges are intense and continuous. It has always been a phenomenon connected to forms of social marginality – according to Genesis, the first person tattooed in history is Cain – but at the same time is a form of art and a big mass phenomenon. The exhibition also displays numerous works by international contemporary artists: Wim Delvoye, Santiago Serra, Dr. Lakra, Mary Coble Fabio Viale. Photographs by Pierre et Gilles, Catherine Opie, Tobias Zielony, Sergei Vasiliev Plinio Martelliand Oliviero Toscani.
