Bastian Börsig: stoked
at Wagner + Partner
Berlin, Germany
Sep 04, 2015 - Oct 17, 2015
For the first time, Wagner + Partner is exhibiting the powerful works of Bastian Börsig (b 1984, Schwäbisch Hall), who this year received the City of Karlsruhe Cultural Award, at a solo exhibition in Berlin. When we look at an artwork, we usually begin by glancing quickly at the label to the side that lists the title, year and dimensions of the work as well as information about the technique. Bastian Börsig’s works also have these labels – but they do not help us much, as they only reveal technical details. read more...
Claire Harvey: By The Way
at Galerie Fons Welters
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Sep 05, 2015 - Oct 17, 2015
Claire Harvey is known for painting figures from photographs, photographing painted figures in-situ, painting figures on glass, acetate, post-it notes, Scotch tape, and directly on the gallery wall, while incorporating every last fixture and edge of material in a prismatic interplay between image and object. Her layers of sculpture, photography, acetate, oils, and site specific installations are collages of material that the figure both pins to the surface and, like an intricate key, unlocks a landscape beyond their literal, physical firmament. read more...
Basim Magdy: The ones who refuse to forget
at .artSümer
Istanbul, Turkey
Sep 05, 2015 - Oct 17, 2015
artSümer is proud to present “The Ones Who Refuse to Forget”, an exhibition of new and recent works by Basim Magdy which are shown in Turkey for the first time. This is the artist’s second solo show at the gallery. Magdy’s most recent film The Everyday Ritual of Solitude Hatching Monkeys, 2014, which was originally shot on Super 16mm film, is a culmination of many of the topics that have informed his overall practice. Mainly focused on the individual’s relationship to the masses and the implications of the failure of utopian visions has on societal progress, the film patches together different places and temporalities into a fictional collage where the mundane becomes uncanny and the future appears as a continuous re-enactment of the present. read more...

Marco Fusinato: The Infinitives
at Anna Schwartz Gallery, Sydney
Sydney, Australia
Sep 04, 2015 - Oct 24, 2015
Marco Fusinato is a conceptual artist and noise musician His works are almost always serial, as if demonstrating a thesis, using a set of rules as ‘controls’ for experimentation. While Fusinato often withholds his own interpretation of the images and objects he presents and re-presents, the material itself plainly indicates the artist’s interests in the potential overlap of cultural production and radical modes of social organisation. Fusinato performs regularly in the experimental music underground, making use of the electric guitar and associated electronics to improvise intricate, wide-ranging and physically affecting frequencies. read more...
