San Francisco, CA, USA

The exhibition includes 50 paintings and sculptures created between 1940 and 1965 and follows the artist’s transformation from the newest recruit of Surrealism to an innovator of textural abstraction at the birth of the New York School. On February 20, in conjunction with the exhibition’s opening, Weinstein Gallery will host a panel discussion featuring noted art historian Dawn Ades, author of the recently released monograph, Enrico Donati. read more...

Saul Becker: An Unfamiliar Tide
at Zieher Smith & Horton
New York, NY, USA
Feb 19, 2016 - Mar 19, 2016

Saul Becker’s paintings have long been informed and enchanted by the natural world’s seductive abundance. With the delicate accuracy of a camera lucida drawing and the stark contrast of a photogram, Becker is adept at utilizing methods of photography; his brand of realism stems from manipulations of photographs taken on Arctic expedition. Recombining images and memories, and in this latest body of work, mirror images, the paintings suggest dreams more than documents, and are enhanced by the haunting, frozen quietude of the subject, with what Ken Johnson of The New York Times called an “infectious, distinctly contemporary mood of existential perplexity. read more...

Running Fence: 40 Years Post
at Sonoma County Museum
Santa Rosa, CA, USA
Feb 21, 2016 - Apr 17, 2016

Four decades have passed since Running Fence graced the hills of Sonoma and Marin Counties in 1976. The monumental work by Christo and Jeanne-Claude consisted of a white fabric and steel-pole fence 24.5 miles long and 18 feet high that was installed across the properties of 59 ranchers, flowing over the hills between Highway 101 near Cotati and the Pacific Ocean. Running Fence existed for only two weeks, but the project started well beforehand and included years of debates and public hearings over the merits and potential impact of the artwork. read more...

William N. Copley: The World According to CPLY
at The Menil Collection
Museum District - Houston, TX, USA
Feb 19, 2016 - Jul 24, 2016

American artist William Copley (1919–1996), creator of madcap narrative paintings, drawings, and installations, was both an insider and an outsider. Known by his nom de plume CPLY, he was a self-taught artist pushing the limits of art-world decorum, as well as a collector, patron, and connector of some of the most important artists of the 20th century, in particular European Surrealists and American Pop artists. Organized in collaboration with the Prada Foundation in Milan, Italy, and featuring approximately 100 paintings and works on paper, William N. read more...

Gareth Nyandoro: Paper Cut
at Tiwani Contemporary
London, UK
Feb 19, 2016 - Mar 19, 2016

Tiwani Contemporary now represents Gareth Nyandoro and is pleased to present his first solo exhibition in the UK. Nyandoro is known for his large works on paper, which often spill out of their two-dimensional frame and into installations including paper scraps and objects found in the markets of Harare, where he is based. The main source of inspiration for Nyandoro’s work is the local markets of Harare, with their buzzing stalls, loud hawkers, frenzied buyers and enticing displays of goods. read more...

Heroes
at Galerie Georges-Philippe & Nathalie Vallois
6e - Paris, France
Feb 19, 2016 - Apr 02, 2016

Art must take reality by surprise » Françoise Sagan said. With the Heroes exhibition, the opposite has occurred. Imagined before the attacks in Paris in November 2015 and the death of David Bowie, reality suddenly caught up with Heroes. Current affairs, life and death invited themselves to art’s table, confirming their porosity and giving our proposal a new acuteness. Although it resonates with the present time, Heroes nevertheless has nothing to do with homage or commemoration. read more...

Candida Höfer: Bibliotheken
at Galerie Rüdiger Schöttle
Munich, Germany
Feb 19, 2016 - Apr 16, 2016

For over 30 years Galerie Rüdiger Schöttle has enjoyed a close relationship with Candida Höfer. The artist is known for her objective, focused portrayal of cultural sites such as opera houses, churches, palaces, and libraries. In this year’s solo exhibition, we are excited to present her latest photographs of Late Baroque monastic libraries in Austria, marking the first time these photographs are shown in Germany. The idea to include these libraries in her oeuvre was born two years ago during Candida Höfer’s exhibition “Düsseldorf” at the Landesgalerie Linz in Upper Austria. read more...

I'm the Invisible Man
at National Museum of Contemporary Art Bucharest
Bucharest, Romania
Feb 19, 2016 - Apr 10, 2016

The curatorial method employed in devising “The White Dot and The Black Cube” as an exhibition in six parts takes its starting point from the investigation of three essential display formulas: two group exhibitions, two duo-shows and two personal exhibitions. Each of these formulas is enhanced by the dialogue between the two curators and by their exchanges with the artists and the museum as an institution. read more...

LIFE ITSELF
at Moderna Museet, Stockholm
Stockholm, Sweden
Feb 20, 2016 - May 08, 2016

…considering that the attempts to answer this question by occidental sciences and philosophies have proven unsatisfactory. Ever since the days of Aristotle, life itself has remained a mystery, in spite of countless attempts by scientists and philosophers to come up with a definition. Despite contemporary advanced theories about complex systems and the vertiginous potential of synthetic biology, we are still unable to determine what constitutes life. read more...

Marrakech Biennale 2016
at Biennial Foundation
Marrakesh, Morocco
Feb 24, 2016 - May 08, 2016

The curatorial concept of this year’s biennial starts the premise of the designated title for the Biennale: Not New Now. It aims to provide for an intellectual framework that unites multiple arenas of art and cultures by looking at it from the particular location and history of the city of Marrakech. It builds on a longstanding history of Pan Afro-Arab unity, through critically investigating socio political projects, cultural partnerships, and art movements that have led to many shared artistic tendencies. read more...
