Work for Hire: Ed Ruscha & Mason Williams
at Alden Projects
New York, NY, USA
Oct 30, 2015 - Nov 29, 2015
Alden Projects’ Work For Hire: Ed Ruscha & Mason Williams (October 30 – November 29, 2015) is the first exhibition of unique drawings made by Ed Ruscha produced in tandem with his life-long friend, and fellow artist, Mason Williams for storyboards giving form to narrative ideas for a 1966 television show, The Roger Miller Show. The series featured the eponymous country singer, fellow Oklahoman, and fabled writer of the classic Pop song, “King of the Road” (1965)—a particularly serendipitous, peripatetic association for the royal road testers, Ruscha and Williams. read more...
Liz Glynn: The Myth of Singularity
at Los Angeles County Museum of Art
Park La Brea - Los Angeles, CA, USA
Oct 31, 2015 - May 22, 2016
The Myth of Singularity (2014) is a suite of eight bronze sculptures by Los Angeles-based artist Liz Glynn, produced from plaster props generated during the performance The Myth of Singularity (after Rodin), which took place at LACMA in 2013. At that time, Glynn embarked on [de]-lusions of Grandeur, a cycle of performances that unfolded in five chapters throughout the year. Glynn conducted extensive research on the works of August Rodin, Alexander Calder, Richard Serra, David Smith and Donald Judd in our collections to respond to the process of creating, moving, and erecting large-scale sculptures, and the frequently Herculean efforts necessary to do so. read more...
Luke Fowler and Mark Fell Project
at Whitechapel Art Gallery
London, UK
Oct 30, 2015 - Feb 07, 2016
The computer is a ubiquitous component in today’s music studios and on stage. Using sound, text and image, the new collaboration between Glasgow-based artist filmmaker Luke Fowler (b. 1978) and Yorkshire-based multidisciplinary artist Mark Fell (b. 1966) examines the development of early computer music languages that have been obscured by more commercially viable options. The exhibition looks at how the use of computers began to shape music-making through experimentation with unfamiliar techniques involving mathematical structures, data and unusual forms of interaction. read more...
Magali Reus: Halted Paves
at Westfälischer Kunstverein
Munster, Germany
Oct 31, 2015 - Jan 17, 2016
Magali Reus’s (b. 1981, Den Haag, NL) artistic practice centres upon a strategic manipulation of known forms and motifs. Drawing upon familiar and functional commodities, these objects, often preciously dressed in appealing industrial design, are no longer merely the facilitators of our everyday actions but become newly animated. At the Westfälischer Kunstverein Reus will be presenting two new series of works: “In Place Of” uses the street curb as a formal structural device, in which the private spills out for public archaeological discovery. read more...
Daniel Turner
at Johann König
Mitte - Berlin, Germany
Oct 31, 2015 - Dec 06, 2015
KÖNIG GALERIE is proud to present a solo exhibition by New York based artist Daniel Turner. The twin sculptures that comprise Britannica (2012) stand with an unsettling stillness. Its surface — an aggressive, almost desensitized, neutral yellow — is embedded with stainless steel sinks and faucets, their contours bearing no trace of hand. Taking the appearance of kitchen equipment, these austere objects resonate beyond the domestic experience suggesting institutional or agricultural connotations. read more...

Claire Fontaine: Love is Never Enough
at Air de Paris
13e - Paris, France
Oct 31, 2015 - Dec 19, 2015
With Love is Never Enough collective artist Claire Fontaine presents a new selection of works revolving around the emotional bankruptcy of our times. The title of the exhibition suggests that our need for love is almost unlimited and it cannot be satisfied by the current configuration of society but also that in our world, more than ever before, good intentions cannot be carried out without material means. The exhibition tackles the issues of exclusion and inclusion, security and fear, through the conceptual use of diverse medias. read more...
Carlos Bunga: Capella
at Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona
Barcelona, Spain
Oct 30, 2015 - Feb 07, 2016
Located at the point where architecture, painting and performance meet, the work of Carlos Bunga offers one of the most consistent and complex contributions to today’s international artistic landscape. Bunga first became known in the early 1990s with ephemeral interventions whose main action, rather than constructing through addition in the traditional sense, was the apparent opposite: subtraction, destruction and removal. His habitual material, cardboard, allows the exploitation of relatively opposite qualities, such as malleability and hardness, strength and fragility. read more...
Hannah Ryggen: Weaving the World
at Moderna Museet, Malmo
Malmö, Sweden
Oct 31, 2015 - Mar 06, 2016
Hannah Ryggen (1894-1970) was one of the most important artists of the twentieth century. This exhibition is produced in collaboration with Norway’s National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design in Oslo, and responds to a renewed interest in Ryggen’s figurative and impassioned modernism. read more...
