“I’m interested in transgression, going beyond oneself and what it means to escape the confines of social or cultural norms…(…)” From a conversation between Marianna Simnett and Susanne Pfeffer, MMK Museum für Moderne Kunst, ZOLLAMT, Frankfurt.

The first major UK exhibition of American artist Theaster Gates.

Explore the tropical landscape of Guatemala through Vivian Suter’s immersive installation of hanging paintings.

Ryoji Ikeda (b. in Gifu, Japan in 1966; lives and works in Paris and Kyōto) is one of the world’s leading sound and media artists. His often large-format light and sound installations have caused numerous international sensations (e.g. 2018 Centre Pompidou, Paris; 2018 Eye Filmmuseum, Amsterdam; 2015 ZKM Karlsruhe; 2014/15 Minsheng Art Museum, Shanghai).

‘Masterly!’ will be presenting a grand retrospective of four centuries of paintings and drawings from the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen collection. In over 150 works, the exhibition showcases the mastery of 27 artists who all excel in both art forms. It features work by famous masters such as Rembrandt, Rubens, Van Gogh, Delacroix, Pissarro, Saenredam, Goltzius and Basquiat, but also by lesser-known artists, including the Dutchmen Cornelis Saftleven and Josephus Augustus Knip. ‘Masterly!’ highlights the special relationship between drawing and painting and reveals the great masters’ love of drawing.

BOZAR presents a major retrospective of the legendary American artist, Keith Haring. As a friend and artistic companion to Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring was a unique figure in 1980s New York. He played a key role in counterculture by creating an instantly recognisable style. Haring is primarily known for his iconic motifs: barking dogs, crawling babies and flying saucers. He strived to make art “public” by displaying it in his Pop Shop, the media or in subway stations and collective urban spaces.

The exhibition celebrates the 125th anniversary of the birth of Ilya Mikhailovich Zdanevich and the 70th anniversary of the publication of his renowned anthology «Poetry of Unknown Words».

Tate St Ives In Colour is a new interactive and immersive light installation which will light up the gallery in an ethereal glow during the feastive season.

Anne Hardy is internationally recognised for her large-scale sculptural installations: immersive, sensual works that combine physical materials with lighting and surround sound. For the 2019 Commission, Hardy transforms Tate Britain’s iconic facade into a marooned temple in an exploration of the natural rhythms of the earth, tides, and the winter solstice.

The exhibition Timber Tales presents urban timber buildings by weberbrunner architekten located across Switzerland and Germany in a variety of scales: the Freie Waldorfschule Kindergarten in Werder an der Havel; the multi-family house Im Amt in Gutenswil; the single-family home Bruderberg in Weiningen; the multi-generational housing estate Hagmann-Areal in Winterthur; and the sue&til housing complex, also in Winterthur, which is the largest timber residential project in central Europe.

The Moscow Museum of Modern Art, together with the SDV Arts & Science Foundation, presents an exhibition «This Is Not a Book: Dmitry Volkov Collection. The Story of a Man, His Art, and His Library,» where the viewing public will get their glimpse of two of the connoisseur’s collections: contemporary art and rare editions of philosophical texts.

Architect, designer, art director, writer, poet, critic and all-round artist, Gio Ponti has been the object of historical-critical literature and exhibition programmes that would be difficult to equal.

A fascination with Old Masters: Bomberg at the National Gallery.

Osvaldo Romberg taught at Jerusalem’s Bezalel Academy in the 1970s, chairing its Fine Arts department, creating a body of work, and leaving his imprint on the development of Conceptual art in Israel.

As the craze for all things Chinese swept across Europe, the continent fell in love with porcelain. August the Strong was the only person to know the secret of how to make it. In 1710, he founded the first European porcelain manufactory in Meissen and made this exotic material into its unique calling card. Thirsting after its beauty, he collected thousands of pieces, the minority of which were the practical everyday items we associate with porcelain today. This explains how the Dresden Porzellansammlung is able to show precious vases, figurines and life-sized sculptures modelled after real animals owned by the Saxon king, alongside the finest dining services.

Walking through the Albertinum islike opening a museum-sized art history reference work and leafing through its pages. With a range extending from Romanticism to the present, the Albertinum is a place where painting meets sculpture, East meets West and today meets tomorrow.

Fabien Castanier Gallery is excited to present a solo exhibition for urban contemporary artist JonOne, Colors of the Uprising, on view November 26 – January 4. The exhibition coincides with Art Basel week in Miami and the gallery’s participation in the Art Miami fair which runs Dec 3-8. This is the fifth solo exhibition for JonOne at the gallery, featuring new paintings on canvas.

At first something disappears. The exhibition starts in the staircase to the Kabinett with a colour application that will be overlooked. The dark grey mountings of the handrails – now there are two for security purposes – disappear in the colour of the wall. They seem to hang in the air. Almost as if I could throw them towards you.

In the Secession, the San Francisco-based artist presents a selection of 25 sculptures and drawings from recent years. For the past six decades or so, Ron Nagle has been pursuing parallel careers as a sculptor and musician. His small-format ceramic sculptures are simultaneously miniature landscapes, abstract compositions, thoughts turned into form, and visual jokes – Nagle’s humor and his penchant for puns and wordplay find expression not only in his song texts, but also in the titles of his sculptures. Thus the artist turns phrases such as “finishing touch” into titles such as “Finishing Touchéz” – although Nagle always emphasizes that his titles bear no relationship, in terms of content, to his objects, and should not be regarded as keys to the understanding of his works.  

Shit Moms is the title both of Tala Madani’s exhibition at Secession, her first solo show in Austria, and a new body of work. She deals here with concepts of domestic life and, more specifically, the idea(l)s and (corpo)realities of motherhood. While the title refers to the colloquial term for women who in some way fail their job or role as a mother, it also literally designates her approach to the theme: smeared, somewhat shapeless female bodies appear as mother figures made of excrement.

Výstava představuje Op Art jako umělecké hnutí, které využívá především vizuální strategie.

In her new body of work, Khen Shish investigates the relationship between randomness and intention, as she creates through a process that recalls the Rorschach test used in psychology. Venue: Ticho House

Over its short 130-year history, the car has become one of the most loved, contested and influential innovations in the world. It has revolutionised manufacturing, transformed how we move, forever changing our cities, environment and economies.

In her work Eva Grubinger explores fundamental and intersecting human drives such as power, material greed and sexual desire, and their impact on social developments. For this purpose, she alienates and activates objects by means of enlargement, unpredictable shifts of material, reduction or decontextualization, in order to set in motion a cognitive process in which worldly things, sculpturally transformed, become evocative of larger sociocultural dynamics. Her exhibition Malady of the Infinite deals with the big picture of structural inequality, unlimited and insatiable wanting finding no prospect of satisfaction, for rich and poor, magnate and pirate. Against this backdrop, Grubinger insinuates a narrative in which power and powerlessness confront one another on the high seas.

Výstavu fotografií připomínajících Sametovou revoluci připravil Tomáš Pospěch.

Otto Prutscher (1880–1949) was an architect and designer, an exhibition designer, teacher, and member of all the important arts and crafts movements—from the Secession to the Werkbund.

This major exhibition, which opens on the day the Museo Nacional del Prado celebrates its 200th anniversary, is the result of the work undertaken for the creation of a new catalogue raisonné of Goya’s drawings, made possible through the collaborative agreement signed by the Fundación Botín and the Museo del Prado in 2014.

The most comprehensive retrospective of Dora Maar ever held.

The special exhibition created with Jiří Fajt, Move little hands… “Move!” will open its doors at Kunsthalle im Lipsiusbau on 18 November, giving an insight into the artistic couple’s lives and work. Visitors to the show can expect both a cinematic experience and a curiosity cabinet. It presents contemporary Czech surrealism through a wide variety of media, uniting the oeuvres of both artists in one place.

The Kunsthaus presents the first Swiss retrospective devoted to Wilhelm Leibl (1844–1900), one of the most important painters of the 19th century.

Is modernism an epoch? How did artists see this in the 1920s? Reading Time in Space answers these questions by referring to four exhibitions and book projects that constituted the first global presentations of modernism and raised key questions in their own time. These projects rested on new concepts of space and time. They include El Lissitzky’s und Hans Arp’s fictitious exhibition project of 1924 and Friedrich Kiesler’s legendary theater exhibition of the same year. In an installation by Nicole Six/Paul Petritsch, this mumok exhibition explores temporal and spatial coordinates whose parameters are constituted by elements of modernism. Referring to a time of upheaval in the arts, sciences, and society, the concept of modernism is an ongoing point of reference in the art history of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, as works by Werner Feiersinger, Andreas Fogarasi, and Ulrike Grossarth show.

“Crazy like machine forms larger and bolder.” This is how Eva Hesse described a group of finished drawings in 1965 in a letter to her artist friend Sol LeWitt. The idea of “bold forms” can be applied to the artist’s entire oeuvre of drawings, to which mumok is devoting this exhibition. On view is a selection of works on paper from the comprehensive collection at the Allen Memorial Art Museum at Oberlin College, Ohio, which also houses Hesse’s archive. From early figurative studies to abstract and expressive “doodles” and suggestive and erotic diagrams to preliminary sketches for sculptures, this representative overview shows the special role drawing played in Hesse’s artistic practice. The line, for example, is not used just as sign or marker in Hesse’s works on paper, but also as a thread or a wire, knotted and woven, in the artist’s well-known post-minimalist sculptures. This exhibition is organized by the Estate of Eva Hesse and Hauser & Wirth in collaboration with the Allen Memorial Art Museum, Oberlin College

Objects Recognized in Flashes is the title of a group exhibition focusing on surfaces of photographs, products, and bodies. The exhibition was developed by the curator in consultation with the artists Michele Abeles, Annette Kelm, Josephine Pryde, and Eileen Quinlan.

The slide and audio installation Lapsus Exposure addresses communication, subjectivity, and the use of media. A key question concerns the significance of the chosen medium for our understanding of what we see. In his large slide projection, Irish artist James Coleman shows a studio situation that seems to be prepared for filming or fashion photography.

The exhibition Transverse Wave brings Mary Bauermeister and Rashid Al Khalifa together with the sound designer Simon Stockhausen.

Gerhard Richter’s portraits of the Olbricht Collection are still on show until 31.01.2020. Afterwards Richter’s abstractions from the Olbricht Collection will be shown until the beginning of May 2020.

Now in its eighth cycle, the theme for 2019’s prize is ‘Hope’. Revealing how a mood of optimism can drive us towards change, the twelve shortlisted photographers have their work exhibited in the V&A’s Porter Gallery.

Andreas Fogarasi’s art focuses on points of contact between visual culture—fine art, design, architecture—and social reality. What do society, politics, or history “look like”? Where and how do the basic parameters of our communities become apparent in the thoroughly human-made settings of our everyday lives? The city with its manifold surfaces is a central object of Fogarasi’s observations. Scrutinizing its ever-changing fabric, he analyses the emergence and visible expression of political, economic, cultural, and sociological deep structures.

In 1969, the furniture exhibition Sitzen 69 [Seating 69] took place in the Austrian Museum of Applied Arts (today’s MAK) in which a comprehensive selection of dignified “joiner’s chairs” from Scandinavia, Italy, Germany, and Austria was presented. However, the many colorful and trendy seats that today seem so characteristic of this epoch, were missing: The exhibition had made a last heroic attempt to reply to an increasingly pronounced consumer and throwaway society with traditional of high-quality, artisanal furniture.

In some fifty works punctuating the career of french artist Christian Boltanski (born in 1944), this generous review of the work of one today’s greatest creative figures enables us to measure the scope and the ambition shaped by his personal history and a half-century of meditations on the role and discourse of the artist in today’s societies.

The Moscow Museum of Modern Art, the National Centre for Contemporary art and the Jewish Museum and Tolerance Center present the 5th session of the large-scale interdisciplinary project Human Condition, which has spanned a period of seven years and unfolded at the most important Moscow museum venues. It is now the second time that the MMOMA houses this interinstitutional project. In 2016 the Museum displayed the second session of the Human Condition that explored a person within the system of different affective connections, such as love, friendship, suspicion, disgust. Now it’s the phenomenon of biography, its role and meaning in contemporary culture, that has been set as food for thought. The exhibition, being part of the present session, is entitled Biography: the Model Kit and features video art, installations, photos, objects and sculptures by 14 artists from all over the globe. Some of the artworks have been created specifically for the show.

This exhibition, as its name implies, examines the distinctive quality of settings in various corners of the world as seen at night, and combines multiple bodies of the artist’s work spanning more than 12 years. The DC-based fine art photographer Frank Hallam Day has worked all over the world, often at night, looking for and in some cases creating a nocturnal mise-en-scène. The images are mysterious, unsettling, and examine the uncertainties, ambiguities, and possibilities of photographs shot at night and with unusual and sometimes unexpected light sources. The exhibition features work from Bangkok, Berlin, and New York as well as from Florida, Myanmar, Cambodia, and elsewhere.

William Woodward’s vibrant, 72-foot mural, Arcadia (1980), evokes a landscape of pure painterly invention, a lost world that has inspired poets, artists, and musicians since antiquity.

“Fair is foul and foul is fair” as claimed by the witches in Macbeth describes a world where nothing—no message, no deed—is ethically clear. In Shakespeare’s fair/foul world, evil walks abroad in the guise of good, and all expectations are confounded and confused.

Christine Neill is a nationally celebrated American artist whose work blends motifs of biological examination with visual processes and techniques. She has exhibited widely while influencing thousands of students over her long tenure as professor at the Maryland Institute College of Art. The effects of environmental changes on human life, and the reaction of the earth’s habitats to these threats underlie her investigations and images.

Radical Link is the latest project by Tel Aviv-based multi-media artist Michal Heiman.

Walter Pichler’s Alte Figur (Old Figure), created between 1960 and 1963, was acquired in 2018 by the Belvedere with the support of the Friends of the Belvedere, and is now part of the permanent collection. It is to be presented from November 2019 at the Upper Belvedere in the series CARLONE CONTEMPORARY. This sculpture manifests Pichler’s fundamental concept of art and the parameters of his work he consistently pursued.

The exhibition, whose focus is the painter, graphic designer, stage designer and promoter of art Jan Hrynkowski (1891–1971) is not only this great artist’s monograph, but also an attempt of looking at chosen aspects of Polish artistic life of the first half of the twentieth century through his eyes.

100 paintings, objects, and films from around 40 international contemporary artists invite us to intuitively approach art from an emotional perspective.

Výstava mapuje poslední tvůrčí období autora a výběr děl reflektuje zejména jeho vývoj od roku 2017 až po současnost.

The cornerstone of the collection of the Danish museum, which has been state-run since 1953, was laid with the art treasures amassed by the insurance company director Wilhelm Hansen and his wife, Henny, starting in the late 19th century. The Hamburg exhibition will feature paintings by all of the leading Impressionists: Camille Pissarro, Édouard Manet, Edgar Degas, Alfred Sisley, Claude Monet, Berthe Morisot, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Eva Gonzalès.

The Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize 2019 is the leading international competition, open to all, which celebrates and promotes the very best in contemporary portrait photography from around the world.

In 2003, Agnes Meyer-Brandis founded the FORSCHUNGSFLOSS FFUR, a constantly transforming meta-installation in the form of an Institute of Art and Subjective Science. Under this name, the artist is permanently expanding her work series “Tools To Search.” For the Kunstmuseum Bonn, she developed an immersive video and spatial installation.

Vynikajúca osobnosť súčasnej slovenskej grafiky. Vo svojej tvorbe transformoval niektoré formové i významové podnety klasického odkazu vývinu umenia do aktuálneho kontextu.

Dan Meluzin ako umelec nepodľahol magnetickej sile digitálnych technológií, ale skôr ich dôsledku, stupňujúcemu sa tlaku sveta médií, reklamy, celebrít, konzumu a s tým spojenými premenami kultúry a spovrchnením vnímania spoločenských hodnôt. Predstavil sa ako bytostný, sebavedomý a provokatívny maliar, ktorý cez triviálnosť a gýčovitosť svojich tém zrevitalizoval maľbu. Podnety čerpal z tvorby van Gogha, z jeho spôsobu práce s maliarskou hmotou, farbou i svetlom, ako aj z klasickej i povojnovej moderny, najmä pop artu, ktoré pretavil do vlastného maliarskeho konceptu.

Vladimír Židlický (1945) je výrazným predstaviteľom európskeho umenia. Vo svojej tvorbe experimentuje s dedičstvom klasických umeleckých disciplín. Neobyčajná pozornosť vypracovaniu pozitívov, či už komorných alebo monumentálnych formátov je zúročením dedičstva piktoriálnej tradície fotografie.

The Albertina houses one of Europe’s most important compilations of Modernist art in the form of the Batliner Collection. Its permanent display starts off with such artists of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism as Degas, Cézanne, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Gauguin. Further highlights include examples of German Expressionism, with the groups of Brücke and Der Blaue Reiter, and the art of New Objectivity, with works by Wacker, Sedlacek, and Hofer. An in-depth focus on Austrian art comprises works by Kokoschka and paintings by Egger-Lienz. The great diversity of the Russian avant-garde is represented by paintings by Goncharova, Malevich, and Chagall. The presentation is topped off by numerous chefs-d’oeuvre by Picasso, ranging from his early Cubist pictures and works from his mature period of the 1940s to superb prints that have not yet been exhibited and paintings from his experimental late period.

Výstava TORZO predstavuje publiku kľúčové okruhy tvorby tejto významnej fotografky, pedagogičky a multimediálnej umelkyne od 60.rokov minulého storočia až po súčasnosť. Projekt prezentuje aj nie príliš známu, paralelne vznikajúcu experimentálnu filmovú tvorbu, ktorá vznikala s použitím fundamentálnej techniky

Rachel Feinstein‘s art is defined by dualities: her investigations of masculinity and femininity or good and evil are echoed in her formal explorations of balance and precariousness or positive and negative space. Her subjects, too, are drawn from oppositions and tensions: religion and fairy tales, high European craft and low American kitsch, her needs as an artist and the needs of her family. She explores these conflicts through characters borrowed from biblical and folk sources as well as objects from material culture, deconstructed and reimagined, suggesting that there is no fact without fiction, light without darkness, tranquility without chaos.

The journey to the Red Planet has become one of the great challenges of our time. Through immersive recreations and new commissions, discover how every detail of this extraordinary mission must be designed.

For its 30th anniversary, the Deichtorhallen Hamburg will present a special exhibition with photographs, films, posters, guest books, and catalogs. It traces the history of the Deichtorhallen Hamburg, which opened as an exhibition venue on 9 November 1989. Since then, 266 exhibitions have been realized with works by some 2500 artists.

Paolo Pellegrin is known today as one of the world’s leading documentary and conflict photographers. A winner of many awards and the Robert Capa Gold Medal (among many others), he has been a full member of Magnum Photos since 2001. The career‐spanning exhibition PAOLO PELLEGRIN – UN’ANTOLOGIA at the House of Photography sheds new light on his creative vision.

Norbert Schwontkowski (1949 – 2013), who lived in Bremen and who was barely known beyond the borders of Northern Germany for a long time, was an artistic loner who did not exactly qualify as art businesses’ darling. His painting is far too bizarre and too strange (in the best way possible) and never pleasing. His works, which are often painted in brown, grey or black, convey a feeling of great seriousness, which sometimes takes shape in form of grotesque, bitterly humorous motives. This profundity was part of his work almost from the beginning and characterizes it more than any superficial stylistics.

In 1916, the Musée du Louvre and the Bibliothèque Nationale de France received a legacy from Georges Marteau (1851–1916), in accordance with the late engineer’s wishes: a collection built up throughout his lifetime.

The 1990s: Think raves, when sportswear hits high fashion and unisex styles became popular, when political activism grew in the wake of the global AIDS crisis, and the end of the Cold War signaled the reorganization of the world, think of the reunification of Germany, and how the mass-production and use of mobile phones came into being, as well as the prevalent spread of the Internet. Yet the nineties also appear to mark a point in history where the time horizon curves and the future and the past seem set in some kind of loop. From then on, there is seemingly nothing culturally significant that hasn’t existed before, albeit in slightly different guises.

KUNIYOSHI + Design and Entertainment in Japanese Woodblock Prints Utagawa Kuniyoshi is renowned as one of Japan’s great artists of the nineteenth century. Manga and Anime are practically inconceivable without his visual imagery. He produced artistic and technically ground-

Lawrence Abu Hamdan’s (b. 1985 Amman, Jordan) audiovisual works and installations explore the political implications of language and communication. Traces of governmental or corporate violence and mechanisms of surveillance and propaganda reveal themselves in the scope of auditory perception.

Remarkable masterpieces by Paul Cézanne, Edgar Degas, Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, Ferdinand Hodler, Édouard Manet, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, Camille Pissarro and Auguste Renoir will be on display in new and surprising combinations alongside groups of works from the Beyeler Collection.

“Who am I? How do others see me? Who do I want to be?” Especially during puberty, the question of one’s own identity gains in importance. For the first time, the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg is enabling young people to conceive their own exhibition on this theme. The museum’s curatorial and research assistants have developed an exhibition program together with young people between the ages of fourteen and seventeen.

In recent years, Rachel Rose has quickly risen to prominence for her compelling video installations and films. In her work, the artist often explores how our relationship to landscape, storytelling and belief systems around mortality are inseparably linked to one other. Through multiple subject matter — whether investigating the use of cryonics to extend life after death, narratives of abandonment in children’s literature, or the sensory experience of zero gravity in outer space — she questions what it is that makes us human and how we seek to alter and escape that designation.

Anthony van Dyck – celebrated all over Europe for his portraits of the rulers, military commanders, artists, and beauties of his time. He captured his subjects with unparalleled vitality while also clearly denoting their status. Yet Van Dyck’s path to fame was not easy: his artistic beginnings were shaped by the famous Peter Paul Rubens: the equally admired and almost unassailable role model. Early histories testify to an intense engagement with Rubens, but also a tough struggle against his overpowering precedent. It was only in Italy, under the influence of Venetian painters, of Titian and Tintoretto, that Van Dyck found his own style. His portraits are marked by a sensitive observation of personality, which he represented with an equally fine, almost tactile rendering of fabrics, presented against a backdrop of stately décor. This exhibition presents the results of a research project over several years, exploring in particular the genesis of Van Dyck’s works and his workshop practice. The Alte Pinakothek’s own Van Dyck collection will be enriched by international loans, including drawings and oil sketches, allowing the visitor to follow the artist’s working process.

The black-and-white photographs and films by Joanna Piotrowska (*1985) capture the everyday drama of human relations. The Polish artist creates inexplicably strange and touching images, whose recording of gestures of care, self-protection, or control are as deftly composed as they are psychologically charged.

The year 2019 marks the 500-year anniversary of the death of Leonardo da Vinci in France, of particular importance for the Louvre, which holds the largest collection in the world of da Vinci’s paintings, as well as 22 drawings.

The New Museum presents a major retrospective of the work of Hans Haacke (b. 1936, Cologne, Germany), the first major American museum exhibition to survey Haacke’s work in over thirty years.

Altan’s entire world told through original drawings, posters, illustrations, paintings, sketches, tables, books and videos.

The exhibition focuses on the creation of the “legend of Van Gogh” around 1900 as well as his significance to modern art in Germany. It unites more than 120 paintings and works on paper. At the heart of the exhibition are 50 key works by Vincent van Gogh from all phases of his artistic work. It is the most comprehensive presentation in Germany to include works by the painter for nearly 20 years.

The exhibition will reveal the artistic personality of two of the most outstanding women artists in western art. Through a total of 60 works and for the first time, the Museo del Prado will jointly present the most important paintings by Sofonisba Anguissola (ca.1535-1625) and Lavinia Fontana (1552-1614). The two artists achieved recognition and fame among their contemporaries for and despite their status as female painters. Both were able to break away from the prevailing stereotypes assigned to women in relation to artistic practice and the deep-rooted scepticism regarding women’s creative and artistic abilities.

From Where I Stand is the first UK museum show of artist Otobong Nkanga, whose practice spans tapestry, drawing, photography, installation, video and performance. The exhibition explores the politics of land and its relationship to the body, and histories of land acquisition and ownership. It will feature new works created especially for the Tate St Ives exhibition, including a wall painting and sculpture, alongside well known works such as The Weight of Scars 2015, Tsumeb Fragments 2015, and From Where I Stand 2015, as well as several paintings and photographs which will be shown publicly for the first time.

From Saturday 19 October, the Kunsthal will be presenting ‘A Half Truth is a Whole Lie’, a mural by the artist Saïd Kinos. Language, typography, symbols, (social) media and communication between people are Kinos’ most important sources of inspiration. He is fascinated by the rapid pace, and corresponding transient nature of our current communication methods. With this site-specific work, Saïd Kinos is taking part in the talent development programme Kunsthal Light.

In “Bergama Stereo”, an architectural installation with sound, the Istanbul-based artist and musician Cevdet Erek references the form, the historically attributed function and the ongoing reception of the Pergamonaltar, now located in Berlin, and creates a new interpretation of the famous Hellenistic edifice.

The exhibition ‘Forever Rotterdam’ shows images of post-war life in the Port of Rotterdam, shot by the photographer Daniël van de Ven (Rotterdam, 1929). As a photojournalist, Van de Ven captured many important moments during the years between 1947 and 1971, often commissioned by the Holland America Line. From the war brides travelling to Canada to join their lovers after the liberation in 1945, to the construction of the s.s. Rotterdam (1956-1959). Also shown are photographs of departing migrants, who were in search of a better life on the other side of the world, as well as the arrival and departure of many visitors to Rotterdam. Through Van de Ven’s lens, the twentieth-century Port of Rotterdam comes to life.

Anita Leisz (born 1973 in Leoben) is the fourth prizewinner of the Kapsch Contemporary Art Prize, which promotes young artists who are based primarily in Austria.

Posenenske’s works can be described as oscillating between Minimalism and Conceptualism, participatory art and performance, social practice and institutional criticism. The exhibition brings together her first drawings and paintings (her earliest experiments with mark making), aluminium wall-reliefs, and her last and best-known modular sculptures.

What does it mean today to talk about spirituality? on the spiritual matter of art is a project that investigates the issue of the spiritual through the lens of contemporary art and, at the same time, that of the ancient history of Rome. In a layout offering diverse possible paths, the exhibition features the works of 19 artists, leading names on the international scene from very different backgrounds and cultures. In a rigorously non-confessional vision, the exhibition, therefore, brings together works of contemporary art with a selection of archaeological relics from the capital’s leading museums: the Vatican Museums, the National Roman Museum, the Capitoline Museums and the National Etruscan Museum at Villa Giulia.

A focus on Enzo Cucchi, one of the leading exponents of the Transavanguardia movement.

Nam June Paik’s experimental, innovative, yet playful work has had a profound influence on today’s art and culture. He pioneered the use of TV and video in art and coined the phrase ‘electronic superhighway’ to predict the future of communication in the internet age. This major exhibition will be a mesmerising riot of sights and sounds. It brings together over 200 works from throughout his five-decade career – from robots made from old TV screens, to his innovative video works and all-encompassing room-sized installations such as the dazzling Sistine Chapel 1993.

This major exhibition is the first-ever to focus on the untold story of the women of Pre-Raphaelite art. 160 years after the first pictures were exhibited by the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in 1849, Pre-Raphaelite Sisters, explores the overlooked contribution of twelve women to the Pre-Raphaelite movement, including Evelyn de Morgan, Effie Millais (nee Gray), Elizabeth Siddal and Joanna Wells (nee Boyce), an artist whose work has been largely omitted from the history of the movement. Featuring new discoveries and unseen works from public and private collections across the world, the exhibition reveals the women behind the pictures. Through paintings, photographs, manuscripts and personal items, Pre-Raphaelite Sisters explores the significant roles they played as artists, models, muses and helpmeets who supported and sustained the artistic output of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.

The exhibition Future, Former, Fugitive, devoted to “a French scene” is based on an open conception of territorial placement – bringing together artists born in France and abroad, living in France or elsewhere, linked provisionally or lastingly to this country – in particular it escapes from the effects of a tabula rasa dictating that one generation eclipses another. On the contrary, it unites “contemporaries” who today share this evolving space with its porous frontiers. Meanwhile, it seeks to sketch out the routes of transmission through which this mood of the times is conveyed and which is a breath of fresh air simultaneously for the forty-four artists or groups that have here been united. They are artists born between the 1930s and the 1990s, but who all live and work in and within their era.

Výstava mapuje situaci uprchlíků a emigrantů usazených v táboře na okraji města Calais přezdívaného Jungle před jeho demontáží v říjnu 2016.

Paintings by Caravaggio, sculptures by Bernini and other works of central importance to the early Roman Baroque are on view together for the first time ever at Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna.
