In this exhibition, Rugg embellishes upon her criticism of biased "news" dissemination by experimenting with cartography, as if scrutinizing the physical and social boundaries in which we lead our lives. read more...

at The Art Institute of Chicago
Loop - Chicago, IL, USA
Oct 17, 13 - Jan 09, 14
One of the most famous and skilled painters of the Baroque era, Artemisia Gentileschi was centuries ahead of her time. Among the first women artists to achieve success in the 17th century, she brought to her work an electric sense of narrative drama and a unique perspective that both celebrated and humanized strong women characters. Rediscovered by feminist art historians in the past few decades, Gentileschi has inspired a spate of books, both scholarly and popular, and a number of films. read more...

Jerome Zonder
at Galerie Eva Hober
3e - Paris, France
Oct 17, 13 - Nov 23, 13
This exhibition places us at the heart of a story without necessarily offering the keys to a narrative: the drawings describe a fragmented and shattered story, with its edges covered in bumps and lumps. The narrative spaces mix, connect and combine each other like they would in the brain. This is what occurs in the images taken from the film Lord of the Flies which Jerome Zonder drew his inspiration from in order to describe the savage and criminal urges of a neglected childhood: two hands intertwined, dusk that appears just after a murder, a grotesque mask. read more...
