The Museum Imagined
at Danese/Corey
Chelsea - New York, NY, USA
Oct 16, 2015 - Nov 14, 2015

The Museum Imagined, curated by New York art critic, Lilly Wei, was inspired by André Malraux, the universally respected novelist, art historian and theorist. In 1947, he proposed le musée imaginaire, which advanced the revolutionary concept that a self-curated treasury of art could exist and be held within our own minds. In the ever-expanding world of art, it is rare for any single museum to acquire works that fully represent the myriad cultures that have flourished throughout history. read more...

Maureen Selwood: Sounding the Note of A
at Rosamund Felsen Gallery
Los Angeles, CA, USA
Oct 17, 2015 - Nov 14, 2015

Borrowing from the political resistance language of Pussy Riot for the title, Sounding the Note of A, is Maureen Selwood’s first one artist exhibition as well as her first with Rosamund Felsen Gallery. Both a departure from and an outgrowth of Selwood’s career as a filmmaker who incorporates installation and performance, this exhibition features works on paper and sculptures. Sounding the Note of A explores gestures of resistance from women throughout history and celebrates women’s strength in outrage and defiance through sensual yet halting abstractions. read more...

Body Parts
at Henry Art Gallery, University of Washington
Seattle, WA, USA
Oct 17, 2015 - Feb 07, 2016

This exhibition spotlights works of art from the Henry's holdings and private, local collections that apply collage methods and strategies to figurative representation. Ranging from messy cut-and-paste compositions to digital, constructed photography, these works use fractured parts as an expressive language. Bodies—fragmented, de-contextualized, or marked with seams—resist easy reading and invite questions about the social, cultural, and psychological conditions that shape and govern them. read more...

Come as You Are: Art of the 1990s
at University of Michigan Museum of Art
Ann Arbor, MI, USA
Oct 17, 2015 - Jan 31, 2016

Come as You Are: Art of the 1990s, the first major museum survey to examine the art of this pivotal decade in its historical context, showcases over 60 works by 45 artists born or practicing in the United States. The exhibition, whose title references the 1992 Nirvana song (considered by many an anthem for the decade), focuses on three principal themes—debates over “identity politics,” the digital revolution, and globalization—and explores a range of geopolitical milestones and social issues through the perspective of artists working at that time. The exhibition also illustrates the diverse ways in which the developments of the 1990s redefined contemporary approaches to artistic practice and, in the words of exhibition curator Alexandra Schwartz, “writes a history of the ’90s through the lens of the visual arts. read more...

Owen Kydd
at Monte Clark Gallery, Vancouver
Vancouver, BC, Canada
Oct 17, 2015 - Nov 14, 2015

In his exhibition at Monte Clark Gallery, Owen Kydd presents a selection of new works including photographic murals and videos on digital screens. Writer Aaron Peck first described Kydd’s early video works on monitors as “durational photographs,” pieces that challenged the boundaries between photography and video while at the same time resisting aspects of cinema inherent to moving images. Kydd has since continued to create video works that tend to avoid or cancel narrative in favour of foregrounding photographic conditions. read more...

Camille Henrot: Grosse fatigue
at Musée d'Art Contemporain de Montréal
Montreal, QC, Canada
Oct 17, 2015 - Jan 10, 2016

Grosse Fatigue, a 13-min video installation, was produced during a residency at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C. Inspired by the encyclopaedia concept, as she delved into the Institute’s collections and databases, the artist undertook to form a narrative about the universe by mixing scientific history with Creation stories belonging to various traditions and cultures. The work unfolds through a series of fluid juxtapositions and superimpositions of images taken from the Smithsonian’s collections or found on the Internet, which appear in pop-ups on a computer screen. read more...

Timo Vaittinen: Passenger
at SIC
Helsinki, Finland
Oct 17, 2015 - Nov 15, 2015

If the paintings in Timo Vaittinen’s last solo exhibition in SIC (Keys open doors, 2013) were like acid dreams seen in the corner of a trance club, somekind of earthy or homespun tones can be seen in the pieces in current exhibition Passenger. Yet we are not completely feet on the ground; even the title of the exhibition suggests that we are transiting or on the road to somewhere. References to mystical or spiritual imagery and the aesthetics of new age can be found in the visual language. read more...
