| Almine Rech Brussels presents "The Light Between Us," Sylvia Ong's first solo exhibition with the gallery | | Fergus McCaffrey honors 50th anniversary of Shigeko Kubota's first video sculpture | | Artist opens new art gallery in Scottsdale, Arizona |
Sylvia Ong, Spring Dawn 1, 2024. Oil on canvas, 150 x 150 cm. 59 x 59 in.
BRUSSELS.- Almine Rech Brussels is presenting The Light Between Us, Sylvia Ongs first solo exhibition with the gallery, on view from November 14, 2024 to January 11, 2025. Can art really illuminate hope in the world? This question lies at the heart of Sylvia Ongs latest series of paintings. In her debut exhibition at Almine Rech, the self taught artist collaborates with composer Joanna Bieńkowska, who uses the moniker YANA, to contend with whether art can make an impact in our tumultuous world. With a background in cinematography, performing arts, theater, and music, Ong traverses a multitude of artistic genres to create vignettes of lyrical expressionism that harmonize color and texture with sound. Music and its strong ties to her emotions had been an integral part of her practice long before she realized that she experiences synesthesia, which causes people to see colors, shapes, or movement ...

| Konrad Fischer Galerie opens a comprehensive memorial exhibition dedicated to Carl Andre | | Chiffon Thomas's first solo exhibition in Europe and with Perrotin opens in Paris | | "Tokyo No-No" by Ghawam Kouchaki: A striking exploration of modern alienation |
Carl Andre | 22. Nov 2024 - 28. Feb 2025 | DÃSSELDORF konradfischergalerie.de | all rights reserved.
DUSSELDORF.- On the occasion of the first anniversary of Carl Andre's passing, Konrad Fischer Galerie takes the opportunity to remember the artist and his significant oeuvre with a comprehensive memorial exhibition. In October 1967, Dorothee and Konrad Fischer opened their gallery space in Düsseldorf, known as Ausstellungen bei Konrad Fischer. The very first artist they showcased was the New York-based sculptor Carl Andre, presenting his inaugural European solo exhibition. He arranged 100 steel plates, each measuring 50 x 50 cm, to form an elongated rectangle: the 5 x 20 Altstadt Rectangle, which occupied the entire gallery space, forcing visitors to enter the workan innovative experience at that time. Andre fundamentally changed the way we perceive sculpture. He developed his floor sculptures on-site using industrial materials such as metal, wood, and stone. I am not a studio artist; I am a location artist. The artistic intervention consists of a serial arrangement of materials w ... More | |

PARIS.- Perrotin is presenting Ribbon Sharp, Chiffon Thomass first solo exhibition in Europe and with the gallery. The Brooklyn-based artist brings an interdisciplinary approach to art incorporating sculpture, collage and drawing. The show features a dozen new sculptures and an immersive installation, examining the fusion of anatomical forms with architectural structures. His multifaceted practiceoften composed of reclaimed wood, concrete, bronze and stained glassexplores the self as split, fractured, and transforming. Sculpture, in its fixed, mostly rigid, form rarely expresses doubt to its audience. In an exhibition, a viewer is presented with a set of choices labored over by an artist and the space the works have been given. In his preternatural transformation of materials such as iron and concrete materials intended for permanence, to unequivocally support and protect bodies in architecture, Chiffon Thomas reframes these materials and structures into ...

Installation view with Jenny Kalliokulju, Maman or The Tounge, 2024. Photo: Lena Wilhelmsson.
MALMO.- In the exhibition, new productions, works by contemporary artists, and pieces from the Moderna Museet Collection meet. The show features installation, sculpture, performance, film, photography, and painting, spanning across various eras. Many of the works, related to theater and drama, reflect an attitude where spontaneity, direction, or perhaps randomness, collide. SkÃ¥ne-based Jenny Kalliokuljus new work "MAMAN or THE TONGUE" includes large-scale painting and sculpture and culminates in an opera performance in February 2025. It captures the cycles of everyday life, where lament, hope, and deep love coexist. Kira Nova & Ignas Krunglevičiuss new video piece "The Idiots" oscillates between the sensual and satirical. Through a Dadaist sense of humor, socially rigid structures are liberated, and expectations are overturned. "The exhibition approaches the absurd with an open mind. The artworks are chosen for how they highlight arts liberating power, using humor as one ... More | |
Analysis of other fossil footprint sites shows that the two species repeatedly visited lake margin habitats for up to 200,000 years. Photo: Kevin Hatala.
WASHINGTON, DC.- In a paper published in the journal Science, an international team of researchers from the U.S., Kenya and the UK provide the first direct evidence of two different ancient human relatives, Homo erectus and Paranthropus boisei, simultaneously occupying the same immediate landscape. The research team analyzed a newly discovered fossil footprint site in northern Kenya that records two different kinds of ancient footprints left along the margins of a lake around 1.5 million years ago. These fossil footprints reflect different patterns of anatomy and locomotion, providing the first direct documentation that H. erectus and P. boisei occupied the same environment and could have interacted with each other. The study was led by Kevin Hatala, associate professor of biology at Chatham University in Pittsburgh, and includes contributions from Kay Behrensmeyer, senior research geologist and curator of vertebrate paleontology ...

ROME.- Tim Van Laere Gallery is presenting Mia Mamma Roma, the third solo exhibition by the internationally renowned artist Leiko Ikemura. In this exhibition, Ikemura presents a new series of paintings, continuing on her Girls motif, alongside sculptures. With Rome being the first city Ikemura arrived in when she left Japan for Europe at a young age, she still feels a very special connection with the city. The long history of the city, the old Roman Empire, and the archeological foundations fascinate me. I feel the layers of time and see traces of stories from almost 3000 years vividly in the faces of people in the street says the artist. The title of the show Mia Mamma Roma also reveals her great affinity with Italian cinema, more specifically the films of the Italian director Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922-1975). His profound insight and unconventional approach to different aspects of the human ... More | |
Yorgan, Benan Emre, 2024 MA Industrial Design, Central Saint Martins, UAL.
LONDON.- Museum of the Home and University of the Arts London (UAL) have collaborated on a new Showcase collection of graduate projects which asks: What objects in your home bring you comfort and connect us to past, heritage or ancestry? Homes are for nesting. On cold, dark days we festoon our interiors with lights, curl up on sofas with blankets to watch or read. Indoors is the place to be. Whatever the weather, we invite friends and family round to share food, we burrow into beds each night and we fill and decorate our domestic space in a way that reflects who we are. The collection considers how we fashion our homes to be places of cosiness. It also explores ideas of the unheimlich or uncanny (literally translated as unhomely) and discomfort. Many of us remember only too well being endlessly trapped inside during Covid-19 lockdowns. While some ... More | |

ROME.- The MAXXI Museum in Rome has opened a captivating new exhibition titled Instable Architecture, curated by the renowned New York-based architectural studio Diller Scofidio + Renfro (DS+R). The exhibition, which opened on October 25 in the museum's KME Gallery, is a deep exploration of movement as an intrinsic property of architecture and its intersection with art, technology, and social dynamics. This unexpected journey offers an innovative narrative about architecture that can move, act, and engage with both its environment and its inhabitants. From its inception, DS+R has been at the forefront of exploring the concept of movement in architecture. The studio has long been fascinated by kinetic performances, choreographies, mobile and mechanical architectures, robotic installations, and dynamic structures that move and change over time.

Exhibition of new work by Stuart Robertson on view at Haines GallerySAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Haines is presenting Bend Di Young Tree, an exhibition of new work by Stuart Robertson (b. 1992, Kingston, Jamaica; lives and works in New York, NY). Robertsons first West Coast solo show, Bend Di Young Tree debuts a series of mixed-media portraits and scenes from the artists early life, focusing on the forces that shaped his formative years in Jamaica. A graduate of Stanford Universitys MFA program, Robertsons practice is inspired by nostalgia for his birthplace, confrontations with the American dream, and fantasies about the future of the African diaspora. He paints, collages, and assembles images from Black life, creating striking, often resplendent images that combine materials such as aluminum, textiles, bubble wrap, glitter, and acrylic paint. The imprint of Jamaican culture is evident throughout his work, from the ... More Disparate positions are mapped out through the work of thirteen artists and one collectiveLONDON.- The works in Chronoplasticity attempt to fold or stretch time. They ask what and how histories should be told, and consider new conceptions of the historical, connecting the no-longer to the not-yet. Big events and political struggles of the last half century echo in the show, and many works speak to the tension between the personal and larger surrounding forces. Plasticity can also relate to the body, and its shape-giving or mark-taking encounter with something else. On three floors of Raven Row, disparate positions are mapped out through the work of thirteen artists and one collective, selected by writer and theorist Lars Bang Larsen. In the top floor flat, itself a time warp, Bang Larsen has invited curator Juan Pablo GarcÃa Sossa to make another exhibition. GarcÃa Sossa has in turn invited fourteen artists and groups from the network ... More The Türkiye Pavilion announces the project to be exhibited at the Biennale Architettura 2025ISTANBUL.- An open call and two-stage evaluation to determine the project for the Türkiye Pavilion in the 19th International Architecture Exhibition has concluded.

Müge Cengizkan, Prof. Dr. Zeynep Ãelik, Oral Göktaş, and Dr. Sait Ali Köknar, evaluated 48 projects and selected Grounded, curated by Ceren Erdem and Bilge Kalfa, from a shortlist of three finalists, each notable for its unique content and design ideas. Grounded approaches soil as a carrier of ecological and cultural memory, an ecosystem, a form of natural intelligence, a living archive, and a supportive model. The project was chosen for its innovative research proposal that aims to uncover new hopes for the future, mostly from Türkiye, while incorporating substantial artistic viewpoints in an interdisciplinary approach ... More Tina Kim Gallery celebrates the 50th anniversary of Ha Chong-Hyun's widely celebrated Conjunction seriesNEW YORK, NY.- Tina Kim Gallery is presenting Ha Chong-Hyun: 50 Years of Conjunction, a solo exhibition presented on the 50th anniversary of the artists widely celebrated Conjunction series. On view from November 7 - December 21, 2024, the exhibition highlights major works from this signature series as it developed from 1974 to the present and celebrates the artists enduring exploration of paintings material possibilities. Beginning with the first works made half a century ago, the essential act of the Conjunction paintings is the pushing through of oil paint from the back to the front of the artwork, so that the weave and texture of the burlap fabric becomes inextricably interwoven (or conjoined) with the oil. Has use of burlap originated from resource constraints (burlap was an easily accessible fabric, used in army sandbags ... More A new permanent artwork by Hannah Quinlan & Rosie Hastings at St James's Park stationLONDON.- Angels of History is a new permanent artwork by Hannah Quinlan and Rosie Hastings at St Jamess Park station, the only Grade I listed station on the Tube network. The artwork is the first mosaic created by the artist duo, and is composed of six panels, each measuring 1.5 x 1 metres, prominently installed in the stations atrium. Quinlan and Hastingss collaborative practice is an exploration of the relationship between public space, architecture, state infrastructure, gender, and sexual identity. Their recent output has focused on fresco painting, a medium traditionally associated with historic, religious artworks. Quinlan and Hastings paintings depict various power dynamics, class and social relations, and positions of authority playing out in public space, raising the question: who does the street belong to? Quinlan and Hastingss ... More Exhibition brings together works by six Turkish and Armenian artistsST.

More Scottish painter Jacob Littlejohn's debut Los Angeles exhibition on view at KarmaLOS ANGELES, CA.- Fata Morgana is Scottish painter Jacob Littlejohns debut Los Angeles exhibition. And what if the mind were a well, deep but still with a firm base, though not a material limit? There would be water there, real water, dark, oily, at turns slimy, that once in a while rebels, overflows; and isnt that cataclysmic event what we name sea? Etel Adnan Jacob Littlejohns paintings contend with the natural phenomena and myths that structure our relationship to the cosmos. Working with landscape not as a genre but as a conceptual framework, he decenters the individual to focus instead on the earth and the narratives we invent to understand its magnitude. Fata Morgana, named for a mirage that sometimes appears above the horizon between sea and sky, features abstract oil paintings made in the past year. Tricks of perception ... More Shopping for a better world: Nieuwe Instituut opens New Store 3.0 in RotterdamROTTERDAM.- Welcome to the New Store, the shop that helps preserve the living world rather than burdening it.

More Capitain Petzel is presenting Thomas Eggerer's first solo exhibition with the galleryBERLIN.- For Galeria, the artist has created a monumental work titled Fitness (2024). We see a meticulously arranged scene of figures engaged in various activities within a sprawling, mirrored gym-like space, where the interaction of forms and poses blurs the line between individual presence and collective choreography. The arrangements within the composition recall the structure of history painting, but instead of depicting a grand event, Eggerer focuses on how bodies and spaces intersect through forms, gesture and pose. Alongside Fitness, the artist selected a set of five paintings from an earlier body of work, which present scenes of protest. The figures hold signs and wave flags, though their gestures appear directed toward an undefined viewer. The flags billow freely, suggesting movement and energy, while the figures beneath appear ... More Gérard Garouste creates a tribute label for the Château Mouton Rothschild 2022PAUILLAC.- Baron Philippe de Rothschild wondered in his autobiography Vivre la Vigne, published in 1981, whether anyone would think to celebrate the centenary of his arrival at Château Mouton Rothschild. His question has been answered: the label for Château Mouton Rothschild 2022, illustrated with an original artwork by the French artist Gérard Garouste, is indeed the tribute that Baron Philippe had hoped for. Baron Philippe de Rothschild took the helm of the estate in 1922, and to celebrate the anniversary of a founding moment in its history, Gérard Garouste, in his own symbolic, phantasmagorical way, has created a sort of heraldic banner for Mouton Rothschild, its front wall framed by a portrait of Baron Philippe and a ram, his well-known emblem. Gérard Garouste drew his inspiration from conversations with Julien de Beaumarchais ... More National Museum of Contemporary Art, Athens launches an online magazine of contemporary art criticism and theoryATHENS.- EMST, the National Museum of Contemporary Art, Athens, unveiled its new online magazine of contemporary art criticism and theory, Octopus.

Flashback On a day like today, French painter Georges Seurat was born December 02, 1859. Georges-Pierre Seurat (2 December 1859 - 29 March 1891) was a French Post-Impressionist painter and draftsman. He is noted for his innovative use of drawing media and for devising a technique of painting known as pointillism. His large-scale work A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte (1884-1886), Seurat's most famous painting, altered the direction of modern art by initiating Neo-impressionism, and is one of the icons of 19th century painting. In this image: A staff member holds the artwork titled 'La Tour Eiffel' (The Eiffel Tower) by French painter Georges Seurat at the Schirn Kunsthalle in Frankfurt-am-Main, Germany, 01 February 2010.
