This Place
at Brooklyn Museum of Art
Brooklyn - New York, NY, USA
Feb 12, 2016 - Jun 05, 2016
This Place explores the complexity of Israel and the West Bank, as place and metaphor, through the eyes of twelve internationally acclaimed photographers. Featuring more than 600 photographs by Frédéric Brenner, Wendy Ewald, Martin Kollar, Josef Koudelka, Jungjin Lee, Gilles Peress, Fazal Sheikh, Stephen Shore, Rosalind Fox Solomon, Thomas Struth, Jeff Wall, and Nick Waplington, This Place offers not a single, monolithic vision, but rather an intricate and fragmented portrait, alive to all the rifts and paradoxes of this important and much contested place. Between 2009 and 2012, the twelve artists spent extended periods in Israel and the West Bank, free to approach their subjects as they chose. read more...

Richard Nonas: The Man in the Empty Space
at MASS MoCA
North Adams, MA, USA
Feb 13, 2016 - Mar 05, 2016
For five decades, Richard Nonas has created a body of work whose terse, reduced vocabulary belies its power to fundamentally alter our sense of space, time, landscape, and architecture. His totemic sculptures — made from earthy and industrial materials that have a timeless character (wooden railroad ties, granite curbstones, massive boulders, and thick steel plates) — have reimagined space and terrain all over the world. With horizontally oriented, ground-based, and wall-mounted works executed in a wide range of dimensions and weights, Nonas has developed a vocabulary of serialized geometric forms that both command and alter their environments, while retaining an intimate, human scale. read more...
Do Ho Suh: Passage
at Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati
Cincinnati, OH, USA
Feb 12, 2016 - Sep 11, 2016
The CAC will present a major survey exhibition of celebrated Korean-American artist Do Ho Suh in 2016. Suh moved to the United States in 1993 and every house he has lived in throughout his life serves as inspiration for remarkable meditations on the legacy of home, place and migration. Each abode becomes manifest in an ongoing series of life-size fabric replicas that float gently, but vividly in space – hovering like constructions of the mind. read more...
Manfred Mohr: Artificiata II
at Carroll / Fletcher
London, UK
Feb 12, 2016 - Apr 02, 2016
For his second exhibition at Carroll / Fletcher, digital art pioneer Manfred Mohr presents a series of new pieces mapping his formal investigations of theoretical space in generative screen-based works, drawings, and inkjet paintings. One of the very first artists ever to produce drawings on a computer, Mohr originally trained as a painter, and has made rigorously minimal paintings and drawings since the late 1950s. Abstract Expressionism informed his early works, but the artist rapidly grew suspicious of the lack of control inherent to most expressionist practices. read more...
Niki de Saint Phalle
at Arken Museum of Modern Art
Ishøj, Denmark

The art of Niki de Saint Phalle is truly diverse – from wild shooting actions to sensual sculptures of dancing women and extravagant sculpture parks. In this extensive exhibition, ARKEN presents a unique artist whose radical practice, extraordinary power and impassioned battle for women’s rights speak directly to our time. Adamant views on gender roles and equality meld with eternal issues like love, lust for life and personal emancipation. read more...

Lawrence Abu Hamdan: Earshot
at Portikus
Frankfurt, Germany
Feb 13, 2016 - Apr 10, 2016
Portikus is pleased to announce Earshot, Lawrence Abu Hamdan’s first solo exhibition in Germany. In his art and research, Abu Hamdan, who lives in Beirut, explores the perception of language and sound and the politics of listening. His projects have taken the form of audiovisual installations, performances, graphic works, photography, Islamic sermons, cassette tape compositions, potato chip packets, essays, and lectures. Discourses of national identity, human rights, and the administration of justice are recurrent themes in his art, and the techniques of his audio-aesthetic practice have become the basis through which he has become known as a “private ear,” conducting forensic audio analysis for several legal investigations. read more...
