at Armand Hammer Museum of Art, University of California, Los Angeles
Westwood - Los Angeles, CA, USA
Jun 20, 15 - Sep 13, 15

When we say of a portrait that it is a perfect likeness, we mean not just that it accurately delineates its subject.

Bloomfield Hills, MI, USA
Jun 20, 15 - Oct 11, 15

Nick Cave is a prolific artist and dancer, famous for his sculptures called soundsuits, which he often stages in public spectacle.

Viktoria Binschtok
at C/O Berlin , the Cultural Forum for Photography
Mitte - Berlin, Germany
Jun 20, 15 - Aug 16, 15

A photo is a photo is a photo. Always. It is not a representation of reality but merely a visual reference to an individually lived presence and the starting point for new associations. The viewers seek familiar patterns in the photographic image, take note of well-known colours, ascertain the context and in this way construct their own image with a new meaning. This complex process of reception has been researched often enough. read more...

Raw and Delirious
at Kunsthalle Bern
Bern, Switzerland
Jun 20, 15 - Aug 30, 15

The high availability of technologies has left its mark on contemporary art. Moreover, the artistic field has undergone a massive process of professionalization.

And yet, one cannot help but observe them with a slight feeling of unease 鈥� a strange sense that an increasing amount of what we see simply fails to affect us. read more...
