SUMMARY:Cosmogonias
DESCRIPTION:Avec Marie-Sarah Adenis\, Jean-François Krebs et Valentin Ranger \n\n\n\nLa suite du cycle d’expositions LA CONSTRUCTION DU CHAMP se développe cette année en trois temps : saisir\, agencer et réintégrer. Après LA MATIÈRE DU MONDE\, la Galerie municipale Jean-Collet présente COSMOGONIAS \n\n\n\nDans cette exposition\, les artistes créent de nouveaux récits du monde. Ils réarticulent les narrations du possible\, ouvrent des chemins et réactualisent les liens entre la matière et le vivant. Des énergies traversent et relient “l’autre” ; le désir et l’esprit mettent en relation des parties du réel jusqu’alors séparées\, élargissant le champ du vivant et développant des écosystèmes. D’une soupe primitive\, les mondes s’agencent\, se tissent ; les fils de chaîne et la trame du vivant sont à l’ouvrage. Dans les ateliers du vivant\, les esquisses de nouveaux projets se dessinent. \n\n\n\nVernissage le mercredi 25 mai 2022 à 18hExposition visible du mercredi 25 mai au dimanche 10 juillet 2022Entrée libre du mardi au vendredi de 13h30 à 18h et le mercredi de 10h à12h et de 13h30 à 18h \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVisuel : Valentin Ranger\, Prélude à Genesexus. Chant XY.1 : la déconfiguration de Vesale Vitruvio\, 2021\, Film 3D\, 30”. Composition sonore : Inès Chérifi.

SUMMARY:Tactiques du rêve augmenté
DESCRIPTION:Dans la continuité du cycle “Matters of Concern | Matières à panser“\, la Fondation d’entreprise Hermès et le commissaire Guillaume Désanges présentent « Tactiques du rêve augmenté »\, une exposition collective qui rassemble quinze artistes à La Verrière\, espace bruxellois de la Fondation d’entreprise Hermès\, du 28 avril au 25 juin 2022. \n\n\n\nL’exposition collective “Tactiques du rêve augmenté“ prolonge et dévie à la fois la réflexion écologique élargie entamée par le cycle “Matters of concern | Matières à panser“ à La Verrière depuis 2019\, en l’emmenant du côté de la spéculation\, de l’anticipation\, de la science-fiction et des nouveaux récits\, à inventer et partager. En accord avec l’esprit artisanal et matériel qui a présidé à cette programmation\, il ne s’agit pas pour autant de remplacer des formes par des histoires ou des théories\, mais plutôt de montrer comment des fictions spéculatives animent secrètement des objets artistiques qui ne sont pas directement discursifs. L’exposition associe une jeune génération d’artistes\, dont c’est parfois la première présentation à Bruxelles\, avec quelques figures plus reconnues. \n\n\n\nAvec : Alex Ayed\, Pierre Huyghe\, Roy Köhnke\, Tarek Lakhrissi\, Luz de Amor\, Set Chevallier & Chloé Van Oost\, Marine Forestier\, moilesautresart et Astrid Vandercamere (La Satellite)\, Marie-Claire Messouma Manlanbien\, Paul Thek et Suzanne Treister. \n\n\n\nExposition du 28 avril au 25 juin 2022Visite commentée chaque samedi à 15h (sans réservations)Commissariat : Guillaume Désanges•Following on from the series “Matters of Concern | Matières à panser”\, the Fondation d’entreprise Hermès and the curator Guillaume Désanges present “Tactics of Augmented Dreams”\, a group exhibition by fifteen artists at La Verrière\, the Brussels art space of the Fondation d’entreprise Hermès\, from April 28 to June 25\, 2022. \n\n\n\n“Tactics of Augmented Dreams” is an extension and redirection of the broad\, ecological themes explored in “Matters of concern | Matières à panser” at La Verrière since 2019. The new show presents speculative\, future-facing work\, science fiction\, and new narratives to be invented and shared. In keeping with the emphasis on artisanship and materiality in the preceding series\, “Tactics of Augmented Dreams” does not set out to replace forms with stories or theories\, but rather to show how speculative fiction can be a secret\, animating force in art objects that are not directly discursive. The exhibition brings together a young generation of artists\, some of who are exhibiting in Brussels for the first time\, and a handful of more established figures. \n\n\n\nWith : Alex Ayed\, Pierre Huyghe\, Roy Köhnke\, Tarek Lakhrissi\, Luz de Amor\, Set Chevallier & Chloé Van Oost\, Marine Forestier\, moilesautresart et Astrid Vandercamere (La Satellite)\, Marie-Claire Messouma Manlanbien\, Paul Thek et Suzanne Treister. \n\n\n\nExhibition from April 28 to June 25\, 2022.Guided visits every Saturday at 3 p.m. (without reservations)Curated by Guillaume Désanges \n\n\n\nCredit image: La Satellite\, Vermillis Spontaneuse en milieu tourbeux-bitumé\, 2022\, Installation\, 90x300cm // Photo: Isabelle Arthuis

SUMMARY:Laila Majid + Louis Blue Newby - not yet
DESCRIPTION:San Mei Gallery is pleased to present a new body of moving image and print-based works by Laila Majid and Louis Blue Newby. \n\n\n\nTheir collaborative practice seeks to unlock a slippery and unbounded visual language\, one that attempts to defy categorisation. The peripheral bodies and slimy liminal spaces present within their work signifies a rejection of the here and now and points towards the reimagined potential of the not yet.  \n\n\n\nAt the core of this work is a reimagining of the comic hero Swamp Thing\, here read as a vessel for envisaging new and radical modes of collectivity. The artists interest in this character stems from the notion that its physical form is rendered fluid— enmeshed within the biologically diverse space of the swamp. The exhibition explores this atypical and interconnected body as a site of potential transformation\, echoing the themes of connection that are held at the core of Majid and Newby’s collective practice.   \n\n\n\nThe moving image work south florida sky presents two distinct yet connected sequences. The first animated sequence\, produced alongside illustrator Alice Bloomfield\, breathes life into a found comic frame. Whilst an homage to the hand-drawn context of the comic strip\, this new rendering provides a queered unravelling of the character\, and can be recognised as an act of disidentification\, opening up the swamp as a queered site of interconnectivity.   \n\n\n\nThe second sequence\, which uses GAN generated imagery produced in collaboration with Elliot Elder\, envisages a new space\, one in a constant state of relation. Produced by feeding a neural network hundreds of images of the Swamp Thing\, swamps and fluid organic structures such as slime moulds and fungus\, the software then constructs its own images in response to this dataset.   \n\n\n\nBoth these sequences\, produced initially by digital means\, were then captured using a 16mm camera with the aim being to embody José Esteban Muñoz’s call for utopian performativity\, ‘a conjuring of both future and past to critique presentness.’ The interplay between the textures of these digital and analogue processes allows access to a new and unrecognisable visual language. The sound design\, produced by musician Jennifer Walton alongside musician Dan S Evans\, adopts a similar structure\, using both digital and analogue forms of sound manipulation to create a soundscape for the visuals. The script\, appearing as subtitles in the work\, is formed by found phrases\, reconfigured by the artists to construct a new narrative that pushes the notions of desire\, collectivity and transformation. In keeping with the potentiality of the ‘not yet’\, the video sequences exhibited here are due to become part of a larger moving image project later this year.   \n\n\n\nThrough the inclusion of a variety of artists\, performers and practitioners\, Majid and Newby seek to construct an exciting network of queered collectivity. For the artists\, the expanding legacy of an outward-reaching practice carries the conceptual interests of the work\, reinforcing the sense of collectivity that the video treatments and characters attempt to portray.   \n\n\n\nThe themes and processes prevalent throughout the moving image can equally be seen across the print-based work within the gallery space. Using mostly found imagery\, Majid and Newby’s prints open up the murky and unbounded space that exists between images. Combining the rich textures of high-quality scans with the smoothness of low-quality images mined from the internet\, the work often takes on a shifting and challenging surface. A similar tension arises when considering the different peripheral spaces in which the artists find their images from fetish and erotic subcultures\, cult cinema\, online forums\, to zoological journals\, comics and speculative fiction.   \n\n\n\nThis exhibition is kindly supported by the Elephant Trust and Omni Colour.  \n\n\n\nArtist biographies\n\n\n\nRecent solo shows in Laila Majid and Louis Blue Newby’s collaborative practice include healthy pink (2020)\, springseason\, London\, and hold my hand by the tail (2019)\, Transition Two\, London. Their work has also been featured in group exhibitions including Sour Persimmons Chasm (2019)\, Ex Baldessarre\, curated by Andy Holden\, and Hydrangea (2019)\, Underground Flower\, Nakhon Ratchasima. Upcoming exhibitions include a solo presentation at Xxijra Hii\, London in August 2022. In 2020\, they were awarded funding for an ongoing video and prints project by the Elephant Trust\, and recently received the Omni Colour Artists Award (2021).  \n\n\n\nLaila Majid has also recently shown work as part of group shows Nude\, at Fotografiska in Stockholm (2021) and THEN OUTSIDE FROM NOW INSIDE (2018) at Chaos Magic Space in Nottingham. This year\, she was selected for Bloomberg New Contemporaries\, in which she exhibited work at Firstsite\, Colchester and South London Gallery. She graduated from her MA at the Slade School of Fine Art earlier this year\, and is currently studying towards an MSt in Film Aesthetics at the University of Oxford. \n\n\n\nLouis Blue Newby has also exhibited video work in the Hastings Coastal Currents Festival (2018)\, selected by Becky Beasley\, as well as exhibiting at Lewisham Art House where he was shortlisted for their Graduate Studio Award in 2018. In 2019 he was selected for Bloomberg New Contemporaries\, where he exhibited at Leeds Art Gallery and South London Gallery. Last year he exhibited as part of the Shape Open 2021: All Bound Together. He is currently in the second year of his MA at the Slade School of Fine Art.

SUMMARY:A Single Violet Transplant
DESCRIPTION:Entre toi et moi\, nous savons très bien que c’est une bien plus grande traversée du désert que celle que l’on nous porte à croire. Toi tu as planté un grand pré vénéneux\, cerné de violet et de crachats au sol. Tu es aussi la mère de chaque fleur que l’on croise sur ce parterre contaminé. \n\n\n\nLorsque je te demande pourquoi tu as choisi cette couleur\, tu me réponds que ce n’est même pas une couleur primaire et que de ce fait cette couleur on ne la retrouve pas souvent dans la nature. Tu as choisi le violet car c’est une couleur en marge de l’arc-en-ciel\, ça me fait penser à nous. Tu m’expliques que l’image est plus forte que le langage\, c’est vrai pour toi qui parles avec les libellules et les abeilles. On entend les rumeurs électriques de chaque insecte\, les mêmes que celles des soudures sur le métal. Les chutes et les aspirations des architectures en ruines\, le bruit des rails qui tente de vous prévenir. \n\n\n\nTu m’expliques que le rêve de chaque artiste c’est de créer quelque chose qui change la manière de fonctionner de quelqu’un\, j’en suis intimement convaincue. Tu connais tes œuvres seulement dans tes rêves et pourtant tu sais qu’elles verront le jour. \n\n\n\nCe sont tes filles et tes cheveux blancs\, ce sont des grands cris étouffés de douleur. Ce sont les orties qui poussent aux pieds des grands terrains vagues près des logements sociaux. \n\n\n\nTu as les mains sales à cause de la cire et du plâtre\, et tu laisses traîner tes chaussures. Mais les spectres d’hier tu les remplaces un à un. Tu regardes la pluie te laver les mains\, tu sais que grâce à ton travail tout sera clair\, que les barrières d’acier commencent déjà à se faire ronger par la cire molle. Aucun miracle seulement des pas les uns après les autres. Les battements des ailes des papillons gynandromorphes qui lavent l’air vicieux que les hommes crachent. \n\n\n\nJe reçois une photographie d’une greffe de cœur\, un cœur qui continue de battre dans une petite boîte en plastique. Après cette opération\, le corps continue de fonctionner mais il fonctionne différemment. Tu continuais de me parler de cette image d’une greffe violette\, tu n’a même pas pensé que ça voulait aussi dire rempoter des violettes pourtant tu parles anglais. \n\n\n\nSur une proposition d’Emma Passera @emmapassera \, commissaire associée à la filière «Artistes & Métiers de l’exposition » avec Anousha Mohtachmi @the_biggest_swamp_ever et Clara Midon @nodimc\, étudiantes de la filière.Artistes présentés : \n\n\n\nAvec :Sofia Bonilla @sofiboniMimosa Echard @mimosaechardVictor Gogly @victor_goglyLucas Hadjam @lucashadjamDylan Maquet @dylan_maquetClara Midon @nodimcInès Cherifi @_inescherifiAnousha Mohtashami @the_biggest_swamp_everWinnie Mo Rielly @winniemoriellyFrancisco G.Pinzon Samper @sanfranciscodebogotaSequoia Scavullo @sequoiaroze \n\n\n\nAffiche @sanfranciscodebogota \n\n\n\nL’objet éditorial sous la plume de @sofiboni

SUMMARY:Holly Birtles + Natalia Janula - Mother Lode
DESCRIPTION:It goes off—like a pop\, like a laugh\, a sneeze; like an orgasm; like a little explosion\, an overflow. Its telling says\, I am here.” – Susan Sontag\, The Volcano Lover \n\n\n\nWe were all somewhere once.Present in the rawest form of time.The kind that rushes in.And leaves you gently swaying.You fool! You’ve been had.There really can be no forecasting for a somewhere.And once it’s passed\, everything in its wake is a sorry souvenir.A reflection. A husk.A ‘new memory for you\, today’.Backed up onto a stony cold drive.When I told my story\, I sold it away. Did I make it clearer or did I make fade?We can’t help it\, we instantly fossilise our somewheres\, just like we fossilise our special someones. It’s human to archive and catalogue.How do you store your somewheres?Perhaps they are perfectly flattened\, ordered chronologically in a filing cabinet; each one leading neatly onto the next.Maybe you privately worship yours at a secret shrine. Precious symbols that mean nothing but something to you.Could they be sucked in tight? A vacuumed packed piece of supermarket meat can’t possibly breathe or it might spoil for good.I’ll admit that some of mine are… off-shore.So far away in fact\, that I couldn’t tell you how to get there. I must have misplaced the map.A somewhere that was too much. Too volatile for the mind of a child to work out.An eruption with no warning. Olympian lava meets cold sea. Nowhere to run\, nowhere to hide (baby).This somewhere formed its own island without me.An immaculate preservation under a shining shell that won’t move for centuries.What happens in that somewhere now\, is anyone’s telling. \n\n\n\nMother Lode is the first duo presentation of artists Holly Birtles and Natalia Janula at Xxijra Hii.The photographic pieces in Mother Lode are taken from Birtles’ recent body of work titled Volcano Mother\, where the artist has staged performances and props intended to reflect various volcanos on Mother Earth’s surface. As well as exploring the limitations of the photographic process\, Birtles also seeks to frustrate viewers with tactile textures and props in her flattened images.The mixed media assemblages on display are a continuation of Janula’s practice\, and her exploration of the female body\, natural world and material phenomenology. Employing materials between the organic and synthetic\, such as latex\, sandstone\, Jesmonite and found objects\, Janula simulates entities whose physiologies include both technological and biological components.In bringing together these two artistic practices\, audiences are invited to further consider their placement and agency within the wider ecosystem and landscape that we are privileged to call home. \n\n\n\nText by Georgia Stephenson

SUMMARY:Kammerflimmern
DESCRIPTION:On the 15th of January\, from 7PM (GMT+1) until late\, a number of artists and collectives will be repurposing the Heizhaus\, an empty former-industrial building in Nuremberg\, Germany for a public projection mapped screening. ArtSect Gallery will be collaborating with Digi.gxl\, Digitalax\, Immersive Kind\, Jess Conatser\, and Gabriel Maria Platt to organise this experiment in urban art\, which aims to reclaim use of the second largest empty building in Germany. The building was chosen due to its size and historical significance to Nuremberg’s industrial past. The location has attracted attention from local artist communities\, who have seized the opportunity to repurpose the building into a creative hub.We will be displaying the work of 29 digital artists including Kadine James\, founder of Immersive Kind\, and Jess Conatser founder of Studio As We Are. The event will also feature talks with artists and curators which will be streamed online\, details of the talks will be shared shortly.@a_n0ne_000 @maria_agureeva_studio @whosthereplease @balfua @danielbarretoes @ben_coiacetto @louquai @dominiquecro @bendawson110 @sianfan @einar_zuviel @gravitythestudio @phoebe_heess_official @benheim_ @lornainmanart @immersivekind @zongbo.jiang @hello_levesque @profyaya_ @nicomures @non.collective @studioaboveandbelow @sashastiles @abisheng @iv.em.sv @tabithaswanson_ @miss__sammie @scarlettyang_ @404.zero @jessconatser @_digitalax @digi.gxl

SUMMARY:Amy Brener - Pinnacles
DESCRIPTION:Vase. Orb. Diadem. Globe. Shield. Sculpture. \n\n\n\nHandle. Bracket. Packet. Capsule. Trinket. Tread. Kit. \n\n\n\nAmy Brener’s “Pinnacles” would suggest we had reached some summit\, and from there\, might have a view. \n\n\n\nLook around\, survey. \n\n\n\nA procession of single-colored objects in double file\, poised on the floor and adorning the walls—lead us to a polychrome “altar\,” less stable in shape than its acolytes. Beyond\, a stair to a basement; two hanging “garments” dressing this lower room. Not for us\, already embodied\, self-embodied\, wearing themselves\, disembodied\, captured angels? \n\n\n\nThese sculptures\, mostly titled Omni-Kits and Flexi-Shields\, could be called vestments\, furniture\, and architectural ornaments; assembled\, in efficient rows\, for catalog in a museum’s decorative arts reliquary. But the aesthetic reads more Polly Pocket than Antique Roadshow. Nostalgias are conflated\, and the familiar becomes strange. Egg tray wheels serve up deviled auto fuses. Cheap plastic peace signs float\, as offerings\, to the surface of breast-like molds. Binding braids and twists of yarn trace the edges of pierced orbs\, like flotsam encrusting the shore. In Brener’s world\, things glide contrary to our acculturated codes and expectations\, merely passing\, like a father’s blessing\, for meanings we can take for granted. \n\n\n\nArrested in candy-colored gypsums\, resins and silicones\, these symmetrical\, patterned\, and bound forms appear to serve a devotional or memorial purpose. Yet they embody a contradiction: What we care about and how we care for it is suffused with stuff that we don’t give a shit for and that will outlast us all. Within these works is a delicate accounting of the sorts of things we wouldn’t care to tally: Flossers\, screws\, pills\, buttons\, tic-tacs and wall tacks\, paper clips\, disposable pens and knives; a medicine cabinet\, junk drawer\, 99-cent garden of knicks and knacks; treasure eggs\, baking molds\, floor mats\, and multi-packs. In contrast\, her father’s face\, in miniature and at scale\, eyes closed. All these objects ossify into neat rows\, tapping out a code of daily ablutions. We’re not atop a mountain nor even a turreted roof\, but within a kaleidoscope of daily make and making. Embedding becomes an act of turning definitions\, positions\, and values inside-out. \n\n\n\nThe central work\, Pinnacle\, is the elder\, and a literal accretion. Amassed in the early lonely lock-down of the pandemic\, it’s a trippy-drippy conglomerate of all the materials left in exile; a packing up\, a sweeping out; the last urgent deformation made in a studio soon to be vacated; a singular friend. It sports transparent teat-like protuberances down its front\, large smooth ovum stuffed with new and tiny doodads. On the contrary\, the hard surface harboring these vacuoles is secreted and oozing in texture. A miniaturized mold of Brener’s late father’s face plays throughout Pinnacle’s lumpy contours—his visage\, in fact\, dapples all the works—replicating notions of genes and gender. Move around to the back of Pinnacle and any logic to the garish accumulation falls away. Here is the messy slough of our beloved rituals and humans. The warmth of the kitchen sink after doing the dishes. The generative mycelium that transubstantiates the mundane. \n\n\n\nI am for an art that is combed down\, that is hung from each ear\, that is laid on the lips and under the eyes\, that is shaved from the legs\, that is brushed on the teeth\, that is fixed on the thighs\, that is slipped on the foot. \n\n\n\nBrener stocks our precious Named with the inscrutable no-brand repetition of the throwaway\, the won’t-last-another-day\, and the never-going-to-go-away. Our reverences are tumbled\, in a great racket\, and polished to reflect. Shapes simultaneously holding and dispersing shapes. The most fleeting of twitches captured forever in the grooves of a beloved face.  \n\n\n\n-Gabriela Salazar

SUMMARY:ASMA - Vain Kisses to the Source
DESCRIPTION:And now they were preparing the funeral pile\, the brandished torches and the bier; but his body was nowhere to be found. In place of his body they find a flower\, its yellow centre girt with white petals.”– Ovid\, The Metamorphoses \n\n\n\nAn end is perhaps a way of beginning\, or rather connecting a space between what once was and what could be.What if the process of transformation was not a finite act\, but a state of becoming? A space where one could hold within themselves the multiplicity of both the before and the after\, not simply a state of transition\, but rather a saturation of the self in all its variable forms? \n\n\n\nThe title of this exhibition\, Vain Kisses to the Source\, is drawn from the classical myth of Narcissus\, which tells the story of a youth who\, having grown enamored with his own image\, dies for being unable to possess the object of his affection. The reflective pool\, within which Narcissus perceives himself\, appears in the text’s Spanish translation as fuente—meaning at once: fountain\, font\, or source. As translation too\, may be taken as a form of metamorphosis\, this more capacious definition allows this encounter to be both an act of self-reflection and a connection to some larger entity. Through this reading\, knowing oneself becomes an essential act of belonging\, of place-making between worlds. \n\n\n\nAttending to this space of in-betweenness\, the works in this exhibition open the possibility of existing between dualities or states of difference\, through both conceptual and material means. Paintings emerge through careful layers of soft silicone\, hinting at the suppleness of flesh through the veil of a synthetic skin\, bruised or blushing with an internal glow. Sculptures of cast bronze filigree trace torsos and ripening fruit\, at once fragile and rigid\, hybrids between nature and device. The fragmented body decays\, reforms\, takes old and new articulations—breathes life into itself. \n\n\n\nIn this space\, one can take in the complexity of contradiction and imagine an expanded futurity beyondhegemonic worldviews and boundaries. A world in which the nymph and the cyborg conjoin\, entangle their locks and their wires in grief or rapture\, fluid between the ancient and the modern. \n\n\n\nPerhaps an end is a way of beginning\, or rather connecting what once was and what could be. Where past and present selves brush lips and embrace\, and new forms grow forth.– ЯK \n\n\n\n*** \n\n\n\nASMA is an artist duo based in Mexico City\, formed by Matias Armendaris (Ecuador\, b. 1990) and Hanya Beliá (México\, b. 1994). The duo focuses on developing work produced exclusively through active collaboration. Their work uses open narratives and architectural spaces exploring formal interrelations between painterly and sculptural expressions. In their collaborative process\, they explore the act of interaction and how things in contact start affecting each other. In this interrelation\, things start erasing their boundaries and begin to fuse\, they play with the potential of this process of transformation\, both formally and conceptually. \n\n\n\nRecent solo exhibitions include Vermin Gloom at Projet Pangee\, Montreal\, CA; Janus presented at Embajada (San Juan\, Puerto Rico)\, 2020; Half Blood Princess\, Peana\, (Monterrey\, Mexico)\, 2019; and Blossoming Carcass\, Make Room Gallery (Los Angeles\, USA)\, 2019. The duo also participated in multiple group exhibitions such as Trama\, 80m2LiviaBenavides (Lima\, Perú)\, 2021; Theorem X\, Rachel Uffner Gallery (New York\, USA)\, 2021; Theorem Y\, Mrs. Gallery (New York\, USA)\, 2021; You sit in a Garden\, Centre Clark (Montreal\, Canada)\, 2021; and 44 Signs of The Time\, Mana Contemporary (New Jersey\, USA)\, 2021. \n\n\n\n*** \n\n\n\nOpen Tuesday through Saturdayfrom 11am to 6pm(masks and social distancing guidelines will be strictly followed)

SUMMARY:WHAT GOES AROUND COMES BACK AROUND
DESCRIPTION:WHAT GOES AROUND COMES BACK AROUND\, a duo exhibitionw/ Camille Soulat & Naïa Combary\, curated by Myriam Mokdes  at VOITURE 14 \n\n\n\nOpening January 76pm – 10 pm \n\n\n\nElectro-acoustic Ambient live w/ Rgz cp & Rubie  \n\n\n\nThe finissage will be held on January 29 with a piano live by Pablo Altar \n\n\n\n⭑ \n\n\n\nLe duo nous plonge dans la nostalgie et l’intensité des premières fois à travers l’ambivalence des émotions qui nous habitent et des limites à dépasser pour se construire tel qu’on est. Le refrain d’une chanson pop qu’on écoute encore\, un souvenir qui se répète\, et toutes ces expériences vécues dont on parcourt à présent les effets.Entre magie et réalité virtuelle\, l’exposition WHAT GOES AROUND COMES BACK AROUND explore ces âges vulnérables et les interfaces rituelles avec lesquelles ils communiquent. \n\n\n\n⭑ \n\n\n\nCamille Soulat grandit à Montluçon\, autodidacte elle utilise des médiums comme la peinture numérique\, l’écriture et l’installation vidéo.Sa pratique s’articule autour d’une forme intime de narration. Elle se concentre sur des sujets et des scènes nostalgiques avec des nuances super/naturelles. Intéressée par des notions telles que la marginalité\, la culture geek\, les avatars\, elle oriente sa pratique autour d’une interprétation et d’une célébration des codes associés à la fois à la culture pop et à la contre-culture. \n\n\n\n⭑ \n\n\n\nNaïa Combary est une réalisatrice et une artiste pluridisciplinaire diplômée des Arts Décoratifs de Paris. Son travail consiste à faire de la magie à travers divers médiums\, elle explore des notions comme le rituel\, la spiritualité\, le rapport au temps et aux éléments. En mélangeant des techniques de retouches graphiques à ses prises de vue\, elle propose des images aux allures d’énigmes et d’hallucinations.

SUMMARY:Post-digital Intimacy
DESCRIPTION:The touchscreen is what we hold in our hand most often and usually the first thing we reach for right after waking up. Technology and intimacy\, two traditionally antithetical areas\, are nowadays interconnected\, both having transformed each other. In the everyday\, technology has infiltrated our privacy. It has become the object of our notion and desire\, our interlocutor and crutch\, but also a dangerous confidant.The exhibition deals with how\, after a virtual experience\, further emphasized by a pandemic situation\, the concept of our privacy and intimacy has changed and what effect it has on our close relationships. Through the work of nine young artists\, it questions whether further development is bound for the likes of dystopian sci-fi or whether virtual interconnectedness can actually help us solve some of the burning issues of the world today. \n\n\n\nNine contemporary artists – Darja Bajagić\, Ivana Bašić\, Louisa Gagliardi\, Lola Gonzàlez\, Daiga Grantina\, Rachel Maclean\, Pakui Hardware\, Viktor Timofeev and Tenant of Culture – will give you an insight into the nebulous visions of closeness in the post-digital world. \n\n\n\nTrade Fair Palace\, mezzaninCurator: Michal Novotný \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPoster by Simon Kounovsky

SUMMARY:THE EDGE EFFECT
DESCRIPTION:In the world of ecology\, an ecotone is a transitional area where two different ecosystems meet\, mix and merge. The effect of this mix is an increase in biodiversity\, as well as the density and uniqueness of organisms\, and the mutual influence between the two ecosystems is called the “edge effect”. \n\n\n\nThis is the perfect metaphor of what is happening throughout society as it pertains to our perceptions and ideas of identity. While the tension between localism and globalization\, between a virtual existence without borders or frontiers and an increasingly fragmented social and political reality is radicalized\, the artistic practice is increasingly becoming a place and space to reflect on the concept of belonging and its varying definitions. \n\n\n\nThe artists on display\, each in their own way\, showcase many variations of contemporary Italian identity. Some do it from an exquisitely biographical point of view\, others through a visual dialogue\, while others write their stories by way of an exploration of fashion or digital art. All however\, through their work\, manage to bring to life a new idea of what it means to be Italian: a fluid idea in constant change\, distant from hollywood stereotypes or standardizations\, creating new dialogue and challenging the idea of tradition. \n\n\n\nCurated by Chiara Bardelli-Nonino and Jordan Anderson  \n\n\n\nArtists:⁠Kelly Costigliolo ⁠Elena Cremona + Isabelle Landicho ⁠Karim El Maktafi ⁠Jon Emmony x Del Core ⁠Sam Gregg + Riccardo Maria Chiacchio ⁠Kamilia Kard ⁠Rachele Maistrello ⁠Andy Picci ⁠Vashish Soobah ⁠Karol Sudolski ⁠Marzio Emilio Villa ⁠Alba Zari⁠⁠The show will be on view\, by appointment only\, from November 11th to November 26th\, 2021\, at via Paullo 12/A venue.⁠

SUMMARY:AUGMENTED SPECIES - Invasive Sculptures in Hybrid Ecologies
DESCRIPTION:Works by Sofia Crespo & Feileacan McCormick\, Carla Gannis\, Joanna Hoffmann\, Tamiko Thiel \n\n\n\nCurated by Tina Sauerlaender and Ursula Ströbele \n\n\n\nOrganized and developed by MoMAR (Damjanski\, David Lobser\, Monique Baltzer\, Vicky Leung) \n\n\n\nAn unauthorized international Touring Exhibition of AR sculptures in Museums and Sculptural Gardens worldwide.The relationship between the arts and what has been called ‘nature‘ as a historic\, cultural and scientific concept\, has undergone some major shifts. Various theories of post-(human)nature and eco-fiction have become more and more influential during the last decades as is well-known. The term ‘nature‘ itself has been called into question. Ecological theorists\, such as Timothy Morton think that we actually live in a post-natural age\, proclaiming ecology without nature. Donna Haraway describes entangled multispecies histories\, using the term natureculture. These theories include new ways of thinking about established hierarchies\, agency and power\, as well as difference and ontology. Leaving behind established dualisms\, the exhibition Augmented Species. Invasive Sculptures in Hybrid Ecologies aims to present four contemporary artistic positions working in the field of sculpture\, cyber ecology\, and eco fiction: Sofia Crespo & Feileacan McCormick\, Carla Gannis\, Joanna Hoffmann\, and Tamiko Thiel. They all deal with new technologies and forms of display\, thus developing a site-specific sculptural aesthetics of the living\, along with expanded possibilities of the sculptural in the digital age. The concept of MoMAR\, an unauthorized non-profit gallery\, is to democratize physical exhibition spaces\, museums\, and the curation of art within them. The exhibition occupies prestigious museum spaces around the world to connect the concept of eco-fictional shifts to said spaces. This process reestablishes what is called the canon of (art) history while invading physical locations with today’s technological possibilities\, questioning institutions and their hierarchies\, structures and programmes.

SUMMARY:GEM Z: The Farthest from Earth We’ve Ever Been
DESCRIPTION:GEM Z is an exhibition cast as the speculative crash-landing site of an alien pod. After millennia of humankind looking out into space and beaming messages into the unknown\, what if it turned out that someone was gazing back? By employing collective sci-fi imagination\, the artists of Generation Z turn the gaze back onto us: this time around\, we are not the observer\, but the observed.\n\n\n\nIn 1977\, Earthlings launched two spacecraft\, each equipped with a copy of the Golden Record — a gold-plated audio-visual disc containing information about the diversity of Earth’s life and cultures. These ‘messages in a bottle\,’ loosely aimed in the direction of intelligent alien species\, are currently the farthest human-made objects from our home planet. They carry images and sounds of Earth — samples of human speech\, musical tracks and illustrations of the structure of DNA — deeper into interstellar space. \n\n\n\nFour decades after the hopeful launch of the Golden Records\, GEM Z imagines an analogous alien treasure trove crashing here on Earth. Inside the precious debris are adornments enclosing genetic data\, all-seeing artificially intelligent eyes\, ornamutational organisms designed for symbiosis\, samples of nuclear animistic beauty\, ritualistic tools and research that de-glamorizes diamonds.  \n\n\n\nThe membranous scenography of the exhibition’s crash site serves as a metaphor for the new narratives offered by the Generation Z makers — oozing and diffusing out of the museum’s walls. The presented  works fuse design\, digital art and adornment\, and were specifically developed for this exhibition by the participants of Current Obsession’s Gem Z Talent Acceleration Programme.  \n\n\n\nExhibited artists\n\n\n\n@computa_hydrates@dovile.bernadisiute@emmie.ray@hanseltaiart@joaveer@lokidolor@rawmisky@smalaskuggan@shhhvonstudio \n\n\n\nInitiated and curated by Current Obsession. \n\n\n\nImage credits: exShoes by @smalaskuggan  – @federmess and @tobiasgroot.jpg – Graphic Design by @_______________lindabeumer

SUMMARY:CALCIUM THIRST - Salomé Chatriot
DESCRIPTION:« J’ai voulu créer un futur fantasmé\, lieu d’une harmonie possible entre l’humain et la machine ». Quand Salomé Chatriot\, 25 ans\, énonce son désir à voix haute\, on est tout de suite happé. Par ses mots et par ses œuvres. Qui donnent naissance à un univers science-fictionnel étrange\, autant dérangeant qu’accueillant. Un nouvel organisme vivant qui se regarde\, se touche et se sent. Voire même : se pénètre.  “I wanted to create a fantasy future\, a place of possible harmony between humans and machines.” When Salomé Chatriot\, 25 years old\, states her desire aloud\, we are immediately drawn in. By her words and by her works. Which give birth to a strange science-fictional universe\, as disturbing as welcoming. A new living organism which one looks at\, touches and feels. Or even: one penetrates. Exhibition text by Boris Bergmann

SUMMARY:Human Nature
DESCRIPTION:Culture can perhaps be defined as that which does not emerge or grow by itself but needs a helping hand. Paradoxically\, there is nothing that comes more natural to humans than culture. Raising a child\, cultivating the land – these are more than ‘natural’ things for humans to do\, they are cultural undertakings. Over the course of several millennia\, from the first agricultural techniques to the hypertechnological civilization we now live in\, cultural techniques have liberated us from natural constraints. \n\n\n\nBut in the last few decades we have reached a turning point: humans are free from natural constraints\, but nature is no longer free from human intervention. Known as the Anthropocene\, ours is an era in which every bit of nature is deeply impacted by humans. Today\, there is literally no ‘nature’ that is entirely devoid of human influence. So where do we take things from here? How are we going to deal with this unique situation in which everything in nature is now somehow impacted by humanity? These are the questions at the heart of Everyday Gallery’s latest group exhibition\, Human Nature. \n\n\n\nFocusing on creative work that transgresses the boundaries between visual arts\, architecture\, and design\, Human Nature features works by up-and-coming and more established artists like Mirko Canesi\, Ciro Duclos\, Arnaud Eubelen\, Marc Leschelier\, Estrid Lutz\, Xavier Mary\, Yoel Pytowski\, and Janne Schimmel. What binds these artists together is their keen interest in querying and questioning the distinction between the natural and the human. Instead of accepting that distinction as a given\, they deconstruct it. And having done so\, they creatively explore new ways to think about the relation between humans and nature. \n\n\n\nOften this creative exploration is mediated by working with cutting edge technologies in a deliberately unconventional way. Artists like Estrid Lutz or Janne Schimmel take a metaphorical bite out of the latest developments in computer-mediated technologies and do something completely unexpected with it. Taking a home computer system apart and creatively reassembling it again to make it look like an uncanny and alien technology\, but still fully functioning\, or repurposing cutting edge technological materials as the basis for a work that travels the fluid terrain between painting and sculpture. \n\n\n\nWhereas artists like Mirko Canesi\, Ciro Duclos and Xavier Mary take a more graphic and figurative approach to the question how to reintroduce nature at the heart of the human\, artists like Arnaud Eubelen\, Marc Leschelier\, and Yoel Pytowski move back and forth between architecture and sculpture to reconsider what it means to live in an urban environment that has been engineered to perfection and seems to be devoid of natural processes. Rather than embracing this perfection\, these artists develop spontaneous graphic work and architectural installations. At the core of these works are play and contingency; but also\, and importantly\, concerns about sustainability. For Human Nature\, Yoel Pytowski gives us a peek inside his toolbox with an installation that displays the materials he always relies upon when doing an architectural intervention: from heartwood to plywood\, all his materials are used and reused\, and nothing gets wasted. Leschelier’s Aprons with Spillers (2021) outlines the foundation for what could eventually become a pavilion\, but the work remains essentially unfinished\, leaving us to imagine what is still to come. \n\n\n\nPerhaps all the works and artists featured in Human Nature are engaging in a creative activity that could be described as a form of reversed engineering. In reversed engineering\, a complex and fully finished engineered product like a computer or an alarm system is taken apart to figure out how it works. In the same way\, in this exhibition the aim of the artists is to take human culture apart\, reverse engineering it\, and to see how the natural\, the spontaneous and the unexpected can then be reinserted into it. For many of the artists featured in Human Nature\, their work wants to articulate a beginning rather than an end. Refuting the idea of a finalized product\, the works remain open and point to possible futures rather than to rigid and determinate structures. This opens a space for thought\, allowing us to ask how in the twenty-first century we wish to relate to nature. \n\n\n\nText by Bram Ieven
