VIENNA.- The ALBERTINA Museum is presenting the highlights of its large collection of works by Jim Dine - a representative selection of the artist's generous donation that represents his oeuvre in a multifaceted way.

Galerie Urs Meile opens the first solo exhibition by emerging Chinese painter Chen ZuoZURICH.- Galerie Urs Meile is presenting Burn for the Day, the first solo exhibition by emerging Chinese painter Chen Zuo (b. 1990, Hunan Province, China) in Europe at its Zurich gallery. The show commences with a compelling statement, Burn for the Day. Inspired by the opening line of the poem Ta sha Xing · Yuan Xī (踏莎行-元夕)1 by the Chinese poet Mao Pang (毛滂), Seeking spring through the snow, lighting lamps to keep the day going. Chen Zuos rewriting distinguishes itself from a helpless compromise with the night and obedience to reality. It diverges from a more Apollonian approach characterized by rigor, order, and control. Instead, he acknowledges and embraces the unknowable future symbolized by the night and seeks the birth of a new order through a forceful intervention into the chaos. A violence that can be seen as a reaction ... More SMK opens a major exhibition featuring one of the most seminal artists of the twentieth centuryCOPENHAGEN.- A group of mothers putting their arms around each other to protect their frightened children. Death cracking his whip over the starving people. Rebel peasants rushing to do battle. A grieving woman cradling her dead child in her arms. A hand raised to the sky in protest. The German artist Käthe Kollwitz (18671945) is known for her confrontational and harrowing subject matter. She translates social inequality, war and oppression into narratives of universal relevance, even as her deliberately unpolished works depict the living conditions in Germany at the time, calling for both resistance and compassion. As of 7 November 2024, Kollwitzs work can be explored in her first-ever solo show at a Danish museum when SMK Statens Museum for Kunst opens the exhibition Käthe Kollwitz Mensch. Presenting the full breadth of Kollwitzs ... More Exhibition offers a rare opportunity to explore the full scope of David Nash's engagement with drawingLONDON.- Annely Juda Fine Art is presenting a major solo exhibition of works on paper by David Nash in collaboration with Galerie Lelong & Co., Paris, spanning 45 years of his practice. This significant exhibition marks Nashs 10th solo show with Annely Juda Fine Art and the second dedicated entirely to his works on paper. David Nashs lifelong exploration of the nature of wood and its habitats has established him as one of Britains foremost artists working in sculpture and environmental installations. Through his profound understanding of the qualities of trees - both in life and after being cut - he has developed a unique artistic idiom. Drawing has played a vitally important role alongside his sculptural work. What began as a tool for sketching ideas for sculptures soon evolved into an independent creative endeavour, as effective in swiftly capturing ... More British Museum confirms two major exhibitions for spring 2025LONDON.- Join Hiroshige on a lyrical journey through Edo Japan, exploring the natural beauty of the landscapes and the bustle of urban life. The exhibition also considers his lasting influence on modern and contemporary artists. Born into a humble home during an unsettled time in Japans history, Utagawa Hiroshige (1797 1858) went on to become one of Japans most talented, prolific and popular artists. His calm artistic vision of Japan connected with and sustained people at every level of society through uncertain times. From fashionable figures and energetic city views to glimpses of the natural world, Hiroshige captured many aspects of Japanese life. Stunning flower-and-bird prints show Hiroshiges poetic feeling for nature while his evocative landscapes reflected the growing interest in travel across Japan and showed his world not merely as it was, but the way it might be. ... More Guangdong Times Museum presents 'One Way Ashore, a Thousand Channels'GUANGZHOU.- As the stars shift, tides ebb and flow, and islands rise and fall. The shipping routes crisscross like pathways, converging into the dotted lines on nautical charts, encircling the scattered islands and outlining their contours. Since the inception of these shipping routes, islands have been drawn into the modern world system, whether passively or actively. The conquering desires from mainlands, laden with violence and inequality, persist to this day, shaping our fixed perceptions of islands: They are territories for harvesting cheap natural resources, platforms for various offshore economies and tax havens, idyllic escapes from urban existence, and sites of border conflicts. Bridges, tunnels, and artificial coastlines have delineated clear boundaries between land and sea. Humanity confidently believes it no longer needs to fear the oceans ... More Solo exhibition by Alya Hatta opens at Pi ArtworksLONDON.- Pi Artworks is presenting A Soft Place to Land, a solo exhibition by Alya Hatta presenting new large-scale paintings, miniature paintings and artefacts, and Family Tree, a nine-part sculptural installation. Alya Hattas practice reflects her nomadic childhood between Malaysia, the UK, the Indonesian archipelago, Saudi Arabia and Dubai. Her work begins by delving into her vast personal archive which includes everyday phone photos, evocative pictures and music videos found through casual Internet surfing, the British Museums online archives and the forever fervour of the family WhatsApp group chat. These materials come into focus through a diasporic lens, from Southeast Asia to Southeast London, signifying stable identification as eternally elusive. Hatta cites this fragmented sense of identity as the reason behind her modus operandi ...
