A Slow Succession with Many Interruptions
at San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
San Francisco, CA, USA
Dec 10, 2016 - Apr 02, 2017
A Slow Succession with Many Interruptions reflects on the ways that artists have responded to the evolving conditions of the twenty-first century. Composed of works from the museum’s collection made since 2000, including several recent acquisitions and works on view for the first time, the exhibition explores the prevailing correlations between the personal, the intimate, and the individual; constructions of identity, history, and culture; the instability of materials; and strategies to rediscover or recover the past. Underscoring the varied forms and approaches taken by artists including Lutz Bacher, Trisha Donnelly, Mark Manders, Paulina Olowska, and Danh Vo, the exhibition broadly considers the fluidity of ideas and how artworks embody time. read more...

After two decades of studying and practicing Western abstract art, more particularly Art Informel, Chung Chang-Sup turned away from the occidental technique of oil painting and started a series that he called Return—a return to his roots, to the affinities and histories of his native Korea. From this point onward, he experimented with hanji, a handcrafted fabric that’s also called “hundred paper” due to its complex manufacturing process involving ninety-nine steps in order to fabricate one sheet. read more...

Regarding Africa: Contemporary Art and Afro-Futurism
at Tel Aviv Museum of Art
Tel Aviv, Israel
Dec 09, 2016 - May 27, 2017
This large-scale group exhibition presents art being made today in, or about, Africa, from an Afro-futurist perspective that challenges traditional divisions: fantasy, imagination and cosmology, usually associated with past mythology, are incarnated into science fiction and futurist representation. The various narratives span between colonialism and its ramifications to a re-examination of the African body, landscape and culture—through utterances that shatter the usual distinction between truth and fiction, between myth and science, between technology and spirituality. read more...
