« Death is Your Body » at the Frankfurter Kunstverein
« Imagine that your body is dying...Imagine how someone is closing your eyelids, » begins the meditation on death in Hannah Hurtzig’s videodyptich « Das Milieu der Toten » (The Milieu of the Dead) (2013). Towards the end of their lives people are forced to face the limitations of their bodies. However, for many people a personal confrontation with decay, disease, illness, accidents, dying, and death does not occur until late in life, if at all. Meanwhile death and dying have become increasingly topical social issues. More and more television and film documentaries examine the finite nature of life. Assisted suicide and organ transplants are topics of public debate, and research projects address the shift in attitudes towards the dead body.

DHC/ART Fondation pour l’art contemporain est heureuse de présenter Chroniques d’une disparition, une exposition collective thématique qui réunit des œuvres majeures réalisées par cinq artistes de provenance et de réputation internationales : Omer Fast, Teresa Margolles, Philippe Parreno, Taryn Simon et José Toirac.

Filmée en 70 mm et transpos&... - Exposition

Lunds konsthall is pleased to present a selection of works by Omer Fast, an artist who is attracting ever more attention on the international scene. He was born 1972 in Jerusalem and educated in the US. He now lives in Berlin. This is his first solo exhibition in Scandinavia.

Omer Fast's art presupposes the skills and interests we have acquired as full-time dwellers in media landscapes. We intuitively grasp how the audiovisual information we must process to navigate the world keeps shifting between the modes of 'documentality' and 'fictionality'. What we do t...
