The show consists of over 136 artists from fifty-three countries, and will feature a space for live programming in the Central Pavilion designed by David Adjaye called The Arena. “The linchpin of this program will be the epic live reading of all three volumes of Karl Marx’s Das Kapital,” Enwezor states. “Here, Das Kapital will serve as a kind of Oratorio that will be continuously read live, throughout the exhibition’s seven months’ duration.”
The 56th International Art Exhibition will form a unitary itinerary that starts at the Central Pavilion (Giardini) and continues at the Arsenale, with over 136 artists from 53 countries, of whom 89 will be showing here for the first time.
After having explained in October the main topics of All the World’s Futures, Okwui Enwezor ...
In the wake of an eventful Netherlands-Russia year, from 14 December 2013 Huis Marseille will be devoting several of its exhibition galleries to a photographic examination of the intrinsically Russian soul. This soul is to be found, for instance, along the banks of the great Russian rivers – such as the Volga, the Neva and the Oka – where the country’s development was closely linked to trade and fishing. The Russian photographer Oleg Klimov depicts Russia’s relationship with water, travelling to these places by sea and waterway. The Dutch photographer Rob Hornstra, by contrast, lays bare the Russian soul in a thousand details: the erratically-applied false eyelashes on the flamboyant Natalya Shorogova, floor supervisor at Hotel Zhemchuzhina in Sochi; the educational ‘Cosmonautics’ m...

BAIBAKOV art projects and the ARTiculate Contemporary Art Fund are honored to present internationally renowned Russian artist Olga Chernysheva, as a special guest of the 3rd Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art. ‘Present Past’ consists of two new series of photographs and two video works, including L’intermittence du Coeur (“Intermissions of the Heart”), a special commission of ARTiculate Contemporary Art Fund.
Olga Chernysheva’s work is distinguished by its attention to the psychological state of her subjects. As the artist explains, “There’s always a human figure in the frame,” the artist explains. ”The characters could be confined in a cramped interior, or they could be lost in a vast space, but they’re always on their own.” The Guards (2009) an...
The exhibition, "Turbulent World - Telling Time", looks at the far-reaching processes of change symbolized by the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, through the eyes of artists from the former Soviet Union. It focuses on an artistic reflection on this "turbulent" period, and is to be viewed as an empirical approach to a complex theme.
Developed by Jule Reuter together with local curators, the exhibition presents 16 photographic and video positions: diverse reflections on processes and experiences of change in seven former Soviet states (today counted as part of Eastern Europe, Central Asia and the Caucasus) and in Germany. Four important themes come to the fore: family, identity, urban change and politics.
The central theme of family is exemplified in the documentary photographic series of Irina A...
Moving Stills est la deuxième exposition du projet Mutations, une collaboration bisannuelle entre plusieurs institutions d’art contemporain à Berlin, Bratislava, Moscou, Paris, Rome et Luxembourg dans le cadre du Mois Européen de la Photographie, s’intéressant aux mutations technologiques et artistiques dans le domaine de l’image contemporaine. Centrée sur les pratiques vidéographiques, Moving Stills explore plus précisément les rapports féconds qu’entretiennent l’image fixe et l’image en mouvement.
Dans un contexte convergeant de plus en plus vers une mondialisation et une numérisation des moyens de communication, de nombreux artistes développent des pratiques hybrides, combinant par exemple la photographie ...
GALERIE VOLKER DIEHL is pleased to announce the first solo exhibition by Olga Chernysheva to be hosted in its rooms.
The exhibition is titled "Caesuras", which means pauses, admissions. A kind of reality we have no time to notice, see, understand. It remains imperceptible. The reality around us is organized in a "caesura" mode. The artist should use all attention and diligence to show at least its part.
However, Chernysheva does not stop simply on any detail, incident or a separate phenomenon. If it was so, it would be a question of a genre photography. Whatever is in focus of her photo or the video camera, she tries to catch a reality in a condition of its transitivity, uncertainty. But the most important thing that any phenomenon of this imperceptible, constantly transubstantial reality is als...
Proposée par le Mois Européen de la Photographie, qui regroupe les festivals de Paris, Berlin, Bratislava, Luxembourg, Moscou, Rome et Vienne, l’exposition Mutations II / Moving Stills, centrée sur les mutations technologiques et artistiques de la photographie, propose une sélection de vidéos réalisées par des artistes européens que rassemble le goût de l’expérimentation de nouvelles formes d’expression. Un nombre croissant de photographes utilise aujourd’hui la vidéo, faisant évoluer les spécificités qui définissent chacune de ces deux pratiques.
Au-delà de la diversité des partis pris esthétiques et des techniques visuelles utilisées, les créateurs pré...
