Sights and Sounds: Philippines
at The Jewish Museum
Upper East Side - New York, NY, USA
Aug 28, 2015 - Sep 24, 2015

Sights and Sounds: Philippines features new work by Maria Taniguchi, Martha Atienza, Victor Balanon, and Mariano Montelibano, selected by Joselina Cruz. The practice of video art in the Philippines employs a rich, contemporary brand of localism, one marked by extravagant imagery filtered through a twenty-first-century sensibility. The artists seen here investigate the truthfulness of the images they produce or record, use local images split away from their context and editing techniques to walk the line between the absurd and the real, strangeness and fact. read more...

Pablo Helguera: Librería Donceles
at Henry Art Gallery, University of Washington
Seattle, WA, USA
Aug 29, 2015 - Jan 03, 2016

Librería Donceles is an itinerant, Spanish-language second-hand bookstore, created by Pablo Helguera in 2013 out of a desire to address the lack of outlets that serve the growing Hispanic and Latino communities in the United States. Since it was first installed in New York City, Librería Donceles has traveled to Phoenix, San Francisco, Brooklyn, and now Seattle. Each time that it has been presented, it has constituted the sole Spanish-language used bookstore within that city. read more...

Perspectives: Lara Baladi
at Freer Gallery of Art & Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, Smithsonian Institution
National Mall - Washington D.C., DC, USA
Aug 29, 2015 - Jun 05, 2016

Egyptian-Lebanese artist Lara Baladi experiments with the photographic medium, investigating its history and its role in shaping perceptions of the Middle East—particularly Egypt, where she is based. This installation centers on Oum el Dounia (Mother of the World). Using a digital loom, the artist transformed a photographic collage of her images into this large-scale tapestry. read more...

Loretta Fahrenholz
at Kunsthalle Zürich
Zürich, Switzerland
Aug 29, 2015 - Nov 08, 2015

The exhibition shows a selection of films by the German moviemaker and artist Loretta Fahrenholz (*1981). What seems on first sight to be disparate, can be viewed as a series of unconventional portraits of small communities, as they are omnipresent today and ever-changing just like user groups: Shared apartment (Haust, 2010), artist group (Grand Openings Return of the Blogs, 2012 as well as Ditch Plains, 2013), theater ensemble (Implosion, 2011), patchwork family (My Throat, My Air, 2013). Each portrait is subjugated to a specific genre (dance film, feature film, documentary, play), through which the viewer is subtly alienated. read more...

Maryam Jafri: Generic Corner
at Kunsthalle Basel
Basel, Switzerland
Aug 28, 2015 - Nov 01, 2015

Involving video, photography, text, sculpture, and installation, Maryam Jafri’s (b. 1972) practice sits at the crossroads of cultural anthropology and conceptual art. Her work has its foundations in hard-nosed research and often includes an impressive array of documentary material that is rife with economic, political, and social implications. Her treatment and contextualization of that found matter connects to a conceptual photographic tradition that runs from Ed Ruscha to Christopher Williams as well as to cinema and theater—much more than it does to so-called “research-based” art. read more...

Elger Esser: Irides
at Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac, Salzburg, Villa Kast
Salzburg, Austria

From 27 August to 31 October, Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac is showing a solo exhibition with new works by photographer Elger Esser.

Nathalia Edenmont: BEYOND
at Wetterling Gallery, Stockholm
Stockholm, Sweden
Aug 28, 2015 - Oct 03, 2015

The title of Nathalia Edenmont’s new exhibition, Beyond, refers to something beyond the here and now, moving outside the usual framework both visually and mentally. In her latest series of images Nathalia Edenmont touches upon life and death, fertility and childlessness, the natural and the subconscious world. Her images are dreamlike; at times almost nightmarish. read more...

Jungho Jung: Fragments
at Australian Centre for Photography
Sydney, Australia
Aug 29, 2015 - Oct 18, 2015

Fragments presents a selection of different series by Korean artist Jungho Jung. Articulated around a triptych, The State of All Things, Jung’s abstract visual explorations delve into different forms of the element water. From his wanderings into snowfields, around water dams and wonderings about his inner self, his practice is concerned with the tension between the visible and invisible, between being and nothingness. While the microscopic environment inside an ice cube contains the fragment of a wider universe, Jung is concerned with the space between inner and outer where the real infiltrates the imaginary. read more...
