Nicolas Lobo: Cash Me Out
at Nina Johnson
Miami, FL, USA
Mar 18, 2017 - Apr 22, 2017
DRONE AERIAL SHOT hovers over a noontime parking lot. Automobiles slot themselves into parking spaces, then pivot out. Families walk crooked paths to the shadows of the retail stores. SLOW ZOOM towards the façade of a grocery store, down under the overhang, the line of shopping carts become visible, the real estate magazines, the Red Box, the ATM. Steam obscures the camera. read more...

Near West Side - Chicago, IL, USA
Mar 17, 2017 - Apr 29, 2017
Aspect/Ratio is pleased to present Imagine A Place To Be Among Friends, the first solo gallery exhibition of work by James Murray.

Michelangelo & Sebastiano
at The National Gallery, London
St. James's - London, UK
Mar 15, 2017 - Jun 25, 2017
Explore the extraordinary relationship between two great Italian masters, Michelangelo and Sebastiano del Piombo, who found common ground in the fiercely competitive world of High Renaissance Rome. Having met in Rome in 1511, as Michelangelo was finishing his decoration of the Sistine Chapel ceiling, Sebastiano and he became friends and began collaborating artistically. Their meeting sparked a remarkable 25-year friendship and partnership; yielding outstanding works of art that neither could have created without the other – against a backdrop of war and religious conflict, but also of great intellectual energy and artistic innovation. read more...

Digital technologies have revolutionised design and production, transforming the practice of architects, designers and artists.

Kreuzberg - Berlin, Germany

Miroslaw Balka: CROSSOVER / S
at Hangar Bicocca Contemporary Art Space
Milan, Italy
Mar 16, 2017 - Jul 30, 2017
“CROSSOVER/S” is the first retrospective in Italy by Miroslaw Balka (Warsaw, 1958), one of the leading artists of the last three decades, whose work explores human nature as well as individual and collective memory. Reflecting on the history of Europe and especially of Poland, his birthplace and home, Balka draws on autobiographical elements and episodes to create works that address universal themes in a powerfully evocative way. Since the 80s Miroslaw Balka’s works focused on the human figure, represented through figurative sculptures, but in the early 90s Balka abandoned anthropomorphic forms to concentrate on depicting symbolic objects like beds, pedestals and fountains, in works that allude to the human presence without ever portraying it. read more...
Daisuke Yokota: Matter
at Foam Fotografie Museum
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Mar 17, 2017 - Jun 04, 2017
In the exhibition Matter, Foam presents new three-dimensional work by Daisuke Yokota (Saitama, b. 1983). Three installations revolve around the tactile aspects of photography, in which the outcome of the artwork is not determined by the camera, but by experiments with the material forms of the medium. Previously in his artistic practice Yokota would re-use images that he took years ago, but that keep re-appearing in different ways through various analogue and digital processes. read more...
Mao Lizi
at Parkview Art Hong Kong
Central - Hong Kong, Hong Kong
Mar 17, 2017 - Apr 30, 2017
Out of all the Chinese abstract painters, artist Mao Lizi can be said as one of the first that truly embodied what it means to create abstract paintings as a Chinese artist. However, he was not always an abstract painter. As one of the founding members of the Stars Group that emerged right after the end of the Cultural Revolution, he and his peers were set to change the perspective of the Chinese people. As a country that was still living in the traumatic experiences that were caused by the political pressures of that time, the artists of Stars Group championed individuality and freedom of speech. read more...
