Apr 29, 2016 - Jun 05, 2016

Interstate Projects is pleased to announce the solo exhibition Lash Blast x 2% Flourish by Priscilla Jeong.

at Brooklyn Museum of Art
Brooklyn - New York, NY, USA
Apr 29, 2016 - Sep 18, 2016

Disguise: Masks and Global African Art connects the work of twenty-five contemporary artists with historical African masquerade, using play and provocation to invite viewers to think critically about their world and their place within it. By putting on a mask and becoming someone else, artists reveal hidden realities about society, including those of power, class, and gender, to suggest possibilities for the future.

at Contemporary Arts Museum Houston
Museum District - Houston, TX, USA
Apr 30, 2016 - Aug 07, 2016

For most of his artistic career, Houston-based artist Mark Flood has created collages, paintings, and sculptures, and has altered found ephemera that serve to critique exuberantly the perverse ethics of the art world. The Contemporary Arts Museum Houston is pleased to present Mark Flood: Gratest Hits, the first survey of his work with pieces dating from the 1980s to 2015. Gratest Hits shows the deep wisdom and humor of three decades of Flood's work while ultimately revealing the true achievement of an artist who has produced many highly praised works and has an active career despite remaining barely visible at the museum level. read more...

Miriam Cahn: mare nostrum
at Meyer Riegger, Berlin
Berlin, Germany
Apr 29, 2016 - May 28, 2016

mare nostrum – in and beyond late antiquity, this term with its manifold political origins described the totality of all people included within, and at the same time the claim to power asserted by the Imperium Romanum, which has left its mark on European life right down to our day. In the autumn of last year, the Italian naval operation of the same name – which had been called into life in 2013 in the wake of the Lampedusa tragedy to rescue refugees in the Mediterranean – was terminated. read more...

Basim Magdy: The stars were aligned for a century of new beginnings
at Deutsche Bank KunstHalle
Mitte - Berlin, Germany
Apr 29, 2016 - Jul 03, 2016

We live, as the science fiction writer William Gibson puts it, in a culture addicted to the future. No matter whether it looks like a hightech paradise or a post-apocalyptic wasteland, the future is always the setting for a new beginning. At first glance, the title of Magdy’s »Artist of the Year« 2016 exhibition at the Deutsche Bank KunstHalle seems to fit into this scheme: »The Stars Were Aligned for a Century of New Beginnings.« But the exact opposite is the case. read more...

João Maria Gusmão & Pedro Paiva: The Sleeping Eskimo
at Aargauer Kunsthaus
Aarau, Switzerland
Apr 30, 2016 - Aug 07, 2016

João Maria Gusmão (b. 1979) and Pedro Paiva (b. 1977) are interested in situations where the rationally explicable meets mystical occurrences. In their films, sculptures, photographs and camera-obscura installations the internationally acclaimed Portuguese artists capture the magical moments of everyday scenes and casual gestures: the wing beat of a parrot, a fried egg in a pan, a turning wheel. What the artists catch on their camera and capture on celluloid and photographic paper or cast in bronze are poetic, philosophical reflections on the world. read more...
