MOCA presents Rick Owens: Furniture, an exhibition of work by renowned Paris-based fashion and furniture designer Rick Owens.

MCA DNA: Riot Grrrls
at Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) Chicago
River North - Chicago, IL, USA
Dec 17, 2016 - Jun 04, 2017
Sexism continues to pervade the art world; male artists still garner the highest prices for their work and are disproportionately represented in exhibitions. In a challenge to the boys’ club sensibility that has historically shaped abstract painting, the eight female painters featured in the exhibition, which is named after the feminist hardcore punk movement that began in the 1990s, achieve mastery, innovation, and chutzpah in their brash and exciting paintings—without seeking external validation. In an effort to counteract inequality in the art world, the MCA consciously collects important work being made today regardless of its perceived value on the market. read more...

Kim van Norren: Music was my first love
at Cokkie Snoei
Rotterdam, Netherlands
Dec 16, 2016 - Jan 14, 2017
When I am working on a painting, as I was, for instance, on the work “We can be heroes, just for one day”, David Bowie's music filled my studio, out loud and intense. It was a tour de force creating and finishing this painting in just one day, in one motion. The music drove me, gave me a superfluous amount of energy. read more...

Atsushi Takagaki: Pagan Poetry
at Yufuku Gallery
Minato-ku - Tokyo, Japan
Dec 15, 2016 - Dec 24, 2016
Paganism is often used in derogatory terms to deride the multicultural, polytheistic and primeval world of the unknown. Yet paganism can also be seen to encapsulate a world where raw, unfiltered and natural beauty reigned supreme in the world around us - in the flowing of rivers wide, the boldness of mountains steep, the embrace of oceans deep. Hear the sound of the wind in the bristling of the leaves, see the sun in all its summer splendor, the fragility of the moon in the depths of night. read more...
Piranesi/Shiota: Prisons of the Imagination
at Tel Aviv Museum of Art
Tel Aviv, Israel
Dec 16, 2016 - May 06, 2017
The exhibition juxtaposes Giovanni Battista Piranesi’s series of prints “Carceri d’invenzione,” from ca. 1761, with Japanese artist Chiharu Shiota’s 2012 installation Stairway: a web of black threads featuring a staircase. Shiota's heaped yarns create hatches and spaces reminiscent of etching and of Piranesi’s architectural fantasy spaces. The culture-dependent prisons of passion and nightmares exist in the artists’ imagination and incarcerate dreams and memories. read more...
