The exhibition „24 heures à Hanoï“ deals with the literary traditions of Hanoi. Thu van Tran devotes herself 82 turtles which guard the poetic heritage at the „Temple de la Littérature à Hanoï“. Thu Van Tran transforms these animal symbols in wax sculptures. Further the artist shows an essayistic film and a fresco. The artworks introduce into the questions of the aesthetic experiences as modalities which allow a correction of history.

Hey Psycho! In coopertaion with Douglas Gordon Florian Süssmayr shows works at the Arsenale Institute for Politics of Representation from 8th May 2019 in Venice.

The artist uses the architectural space to fold together visual, sound and tactile elements in order to generate new interpretations of history and new possibilities within an emancipatory vision of language and culture. Specifically designed for the spaces on the third floor of the Castello, this large exhibition project brings together some of the most significant filmic works created by the artist in recent years.

Mit dem Aus­stellungs­projekt »Jetzt! Junge Malerei in Deutschland« unternehmen das Kunstmuseum Bonn, das Museum Wiesbaden, die Kunstsammlungen Chemnitz – Museum Gunzenhauser und die Deichtorhallen Hamburg den Versuch, den aktuellen Stand des Mediums zu bestimmen. Ziel ist es, einen gültigen Querschnitt durch die junge in Deutschland pro­duzierte Malerei zu geben und dabei all ihre Erscheinungs­formen zu berück­sichtigen.

VIOLA RELLE / RAPHAEL WEILGUNI mit Menschen leben Opening April 3rd 2019, 7—9 pm Performance at 9 pm Raphael und Franz machen Musik für Dich bunt und verdunkelt

From 12 April until 6 October 2019, the Hilti Art Foundation is presenting works of the German artist Thomas Struth (* 1954) from its collection that focus on civilisation and nature, technology and culture.

Prada presents “What Was I?”, a new exhibition project conceived by artist Goshka Macuga, with the support of Fondazione Prada. On view from 23 March to 2 June 2019, it will take place in the premises of Prada Rong Zhai, a 1918 historical residence in Shanghai restored by Prada and reopened in October 2017.

Goshka Macuga is part of the group exhibition  "Entangle / Physics and the Artistic Imagination" at the Bildmuseet in Umeå. The exhibition shows different contemporary positions of artists and designers, who are dealing with science. Macuga’s  installation “International Institute of Intellectual Co-operation” 2015/2016,  refers to the same named institute, which was found in 1920's. The Idea was to facilitate the international exchange of intellectuals. Macuga expanded this model by bringing together portraits of intellecutals who hypothetically discuss problematic matters of our time.

Sensual surfaces seduce the eye, inviting the viewer to simply enjoy. Karin Kneffel paints canvasses that exert a magical attraction. Her realist painting draws the viewer into sophisticated visual worlds in which her skillful arrangement of formal ornaments and the interplay of colors blend into an optical fireworks display. However, the works retain a secretive aloofness, as if the perfect, inviting, yet sealed-off surface is deliberately preventing a closer look.

The academic field dealing with the inner structure of the body is directly at the interface of art and science. The precise documentation of the body for teaching purposes was formerly mostly the result of close collaboration between visual artists and anatomists. While macroscopic anatomy deals with things that are visible to the naked eye, today’s focus is on cell biology and, therefore, on the molecular level. (ERES-Stiftung) © Thomas Struth
