Mark Barrow & Sarah Parke: Matter of Time
at Independent Régence, Brussels
Brussels, Belgium
Sep 08, 2016 - Oct 22, 2016

Elizabeth Dee and Almine Rech Gallery are pleased to announce Matter of Time a project by Mark Barrow and Sarah Parke at Independent Régence, Brussels. The artists continue their exploration of the intersection between textiles, painting, and digital media with a selection of objects, a site-specific installation, and a video. The project draws a correlation between textiles as busywork and time as a human-constructed metaphor that governs our relationship to objects and the universe around them. read more...

Tamiko Tomonaga: Element
at Ashok Jain Gallery
Lower East Side - New York, NY, USA
Aug 31, 2016 - Sep 11, 2016

Tamiko Tominaga depicts the instability in human relationships as well as existence in this world. The figures in her paintings are always caught in a passionate moment, but it never seems as though it is truly heated. There is a certain distance between the artist and the subjects she paints, and this distance is what draws viewers to observe the paintings more. If the artist was more drawn into what the figures in the paintings are doing, the painting itself would leave no room for viewers to reflect themselves. read more...

Camille Henrot
at Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) Chicago
Chicago, IL, USA
Sep 03, 2016 - Dec 18, 2016

Camille Henrot (France, b. 1978) shot to international art world fame in 2013 with the presentation of her 13-minute video, Grosse Fatigue, at the 55th Venice Biennale, where it won her the Silver Lion. The work is an incisive meditation on contemporary image culture, knowledge production, and the 21st-century mediascape. It raises questions about the burdensome task of accumulating encyclopedic knowledge. read more...

Between the World and Me: Contemporary African American Artists Respond to Ta-Nehisi Coates
at Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, University of Oregon
Eugene, OR, USA
Sep 03, 2016 - Mar 05, 2017

This academic year, the University of Oregon has asked freshmen to participate in the Common Reading  of Ta-Nehisi Coates’s book Between the World and Me. The timeliness of Coates’s subject matter and the power and poignancy of his writing inspired the JSMA to organize a companion exhibition—a “Common Seeing.” Both explore what it means to be black in the United States. read more...

Martin Boyce: Spook School
at CAPRI
Düsseldorf, Germany
Sep 01, 2016 - Oct 22, 2016

Scottish artist Martin Boyce pursues the spirits of modernity. He combines elements of architecture, design and art of the early 20th century with references to poetry and nature, as well as movements like film noir and post-punk music. In this way, a somewhat narrative and melancholic atmosphere is generated, undermining the classical avant-garde’s claim of autonomy - ie independence from time, place and content. Boyce intends more than mere quotations of the past: He uses existing images and investigates how something new can emerge from them. read more...

Nora Wagner & Romain Simian
at Casino Luxembourg, Forum d'Art Contemporain
Luxembourg, Luxembourg
Aug 31, 2016 - Oct 03, 2016

The film καλειδοσκÏŒπιο (kaleidoscope in Greek, from kalos (beautiful), eidos (image) and skopein (watch) is the result of a journey undertaken by Nora Wagner and Roman Simian from April to September 2015. During their trip, they crossed fifteen European countries and spent extended periods in Greece (then - and still - in crisis), Moldova, Luxembourg and Latvia, where they met and collaborated with local artists within the framework of a Nomad Workshop. Indeed, the two artists propose a nomadic artform, an art that is "outside the loop" and "off the beaten track". read more...

Sergey Shabohin: Practice of Subordination
at Galeria Arsenał
Bialystok, Poland
Sep 02, 2016 - Oct 30, 2016

The Practice of Subordination, an individual project by Sergey Shabohin (born in 1984), is methodical and scrupulous in examining the mechanisms of power. The artist documents true stories and daily occurrences, having collected banal objects found in Minsk’s public and private space. The material has then been used to tell an insightful story of overwhelming pressure exerted upon citizens by state structures of contemporary Belarus. read more...

Georg Keller: Primitive Economies
at Museum of Art Lucerne
Lucerne, Switzerland
Sep 03, 2016 - Nov 27, 2016

The turn of phrase, ‘Money rules the world’, is as hackneyed as it is true. But what can be said about a world or a society that is, mutatis mutandis, ruled by a kind of potato? And what does the existence of such an economy mean for our economic world? These are just the initial questions that could be raised by the exhibition of works by Georg Keller (*1981) entitled Primitive Economies. read more...

In Between
at Bergamin & Gomide
Sao Paulo, Brazil
Sep 01, 2016 - Oct 01, 2016

In which way subversions from sixty years ago encounter reverberations in the works of today’s artists? What is the contemporary echo? Intending to answer those questions and shed light to these reflexions, Bergamin & Gomide Gallery reunites, from August 31, works from current artists such as Pedro Cabrita Reis, Marcius Galan and Andre Komatsu, that dialog with the piece “Quebra da Moldura”, made in the 1960s by the artist from Minas Gerais, Lygia Clark, in the collective show In Between, curated by Luisa Duarte. “This was a moment in Brazilian art history that altered the path of artistic production in the country and even influenced artists all over the world”, says Thiago Gomide, from the Gallery, who envisioned it. read more...

Katrine Claassens: Welcome to the internet I will be your guide
at 99 Loop
Cape Town, South Africa
Aug 31, 2016 - Sep 23, 2016

In this intimate series of works, Claassens paints both abandoned and much loved images culled from the internet. Working from popular internet memes, GIF stills, and images found on neglected twitter accounts, the paintings point to the internet as a place of solace but also of escape. With an emphasis on animals, Claassens considers the tranquilizing effect of the web, ultimately asking the question: to what do these photographs bear witness? read more...
