From Dawn till DusK
The exhibition questions the Shadow in Contemporary Art
Based on around 40 international positions, the exhibition traces for the first time in a German museum the emancipation of the shadow as an image-producing, yet always media-reflexive theme within contemporary art. It examines the spectrum of shadow worlds, ranging from the existential to the threatening to the political. The shadow is where the absent and the present meet. It symbolically and immaterially refers to the existence of the material world and at the same time also contains its extinction. It belongs to the body, from which it is at the same time always at a distance. It is a trace that, like photography, functions as an index and at the same time is a projection surface that claims its own reality. In this context, the shadow can be read on the one hand as a metaphor for the crisis of the subject, but also as an important indicator of a reality beyond the superficially visible.
Engagées
The Villa Datris Foundation invites to discover the work of 64 committed women artists from around the world, showcasing works that question major contemporary issues. Feminists, ecofeminists, human rights advocates, activists against racism, and champions of bodily autonomy, the selected artists are deeply engaged in ongoing, essential struggles.
The exhibition highlights the invisibilization of women and the persistence of their battles, reminding us how crucial it is to protect hard-won rights. ENGAGÉES also aims to raise awareness where many fights are still to be fought.

ABOUT SHARING Art on the (Polish-German) border
(Dis) connected
The Switzerland's biggest biennial of visual arts is back with its unique concept: site-specific outdoor and indoor photographic installations in Vevey's streets and parks, on the facades of its building, in its museums and galleries, and even on Lake Geneva. To be discovered free of charge throughout Vevey.
(dis)connected: the theme of the Biennial Images Vevey 2024 explore one of the major issues of our time – the great divide created by digital technologies between past and present. The projects presented aim to create links between a certain nostalgia for the past and curiosity about an uncertain future. With this in mind, some fifty national and international photographic projects will be presented, playing on the feelings of connection and disconnection between tangible reality and digital fantasy.
Indoors and outdoors, throughout the city of Vevey, artistic proposals play on the feeling of connection and disconnection between tangible reality and digital fantasy.
Raising Flags
"Raising flags" is a longterm project by Museum In Progress by Alois Herrmann and Kaspar Mühlemann Hartl, displaying flags by more than 30 Artists in various venues. In 2024 the project is shown in Vienna, Stubenbrücke, India 3600 m above sea level in Ladakh and at “sommer.frische.kunst” in Bad Gastein, Austria.
artists : Thomas Bayrle, Minerva Cuevas, Shilpa Gupta, Peter Jellitsch, Miriam Jonas, Martha Jungwirth, Gerhard Kaiser, Samson Kambalu, Peter Kogler, Agnieszka Kurant, Jonathan Meese, Maurizio Nannucci, Olaf Nicolai, Sophia Pompéry, Haleh Redjaian, Christian Robert-Tissot, Eva Schlegel und Erwin Wurm
In this context, Sophia Pompéry created "Close to the wind". The term originates from the nautical world and means to take the wind as much from the front as possible. If you sail too close to the wind, the sails start to kill. They flutter like a flag on a mast; in a broader sense, the phrase means to take a risk, to be in danger, to defy the odds, to be on the brink (e.g. of ruin). The expression is often used to describe the aggressive course of a company. „CLOSE TO THE WIN(D)“ can therefore also be seen in an economic context. This is, of course, about the winnings, about profit. - But is growth possible without losses? The banner is an experiment that exposes the much-vaunted motto to the forces at work. - „Close to the wind“, not only in sports.

Top secret - cinema and espionage
exhibition curated by Alexandra Midal & Matthieu Orléan
"Espionage is no more reducible to a genre than it is to an artistic medium: always seeking to reinvent itself, it moves from literature to cinema (many of the films shown in the exhibition are adaptations of books by Ian Fleming, Graham Greene or Tom Clancy), and from design to contemporary art. The exhibition orchestrates visual proposals, playful or sometimes intentionally disturbing, of Canadian Rodney Graham, Ukrainian Boris Mikhaylov, French Julien Prévieux, Serbian Nemanja Nikolic, Lebanese Walid Raad (The Atlas Group), or the American Heather Dewey-Hagborg, who use their works of art to question cryptology, simulacra, and even brainwashing."

Manifesto of Fragility
curators Sam Bardaouil and Till Fellrath
Inspired by the abandoned building Musée Guimet, the Natural History Museum of Lyon, Leyla Cardenas proposed two works: Removed and Self-contained Withstander.
"Removed" is a site-specific intervention in which the building and the drawing have a ghost like presence, a presence that is seen as absence—which defines the nature and experience of a trace. The drawing of a building on a white wall has been meticulously removed until the floor was covered with layers of paint.
"Self-contained Withstander" reflects on what is really holding us and the spaces together. There is a layer of the fabric of reality that is elusive and fragile but ever present. The Musée Guimet could be seen as abandoned, a thing of the past, but it's our contemporary. Architecture transforms and changes with us and our temporalities but gives us the impression of everlasting solidity. It's an art form of transformation and not of permanence. The piece is also an example of profound dialogue and exploration of the spaces where the artist works, integrating a column in the room in the piece.

Train Zug Treno Tren
Within the framework of the inaugural event Train Zug Treno Tren, the exhibition organized by Photo Elysée, Crossing Lines, explores new approaches to railway history for over more than a century and a half, from the earliest train experiences in the 19th century to its uses today.
The exhibition first examines the interplay between the expansion of the railroad, the advent of the cinema and the creative endeavors of the artistic and literary avant-garde artists of the first half of the 20th century.
This exhibition is part of the new project Plateforme 10, a new district for art in Lausanne: next to the train station, two majestuous buildings and three museums create a dialogue between fine arts, photography and contemporary design.

Curators: Ingo Clauß and Janneke de Vries
The exhibition brings together more than 190 works from different eras and contexts and addresses both contentual and formal issues. Seven thematic areas formulate artistic approaches to depicting the human being, develop a current picture of Germany, engage in multifaceted play with everyday life or the medium of the book, and investigate minimalist tendencies, photographic procedures or aesthetic contradiction.

Rivus
Rivus is the theme of the 23rd Biennale of Sydney, one of the major biennale in the world, with José Roca as artistic director.
Rivus invites several aqueous beings into a dialogue with artists, architects, designers, scientists, and communities, entangling multiple voices and other modes of communication.
Rivers are the sediment of culture. They are givers of life, routes of communication, places of ritual, sewers and mass graves. They are witnesses and archives, our memory. As such, they have also been co-opted as natural avenues for the colonial enterprise, becoming sites of violent conflict driven by greed, exploitation and the thirst to possess. Indeed, the latin root rivus, meaning a brook or stream, is also at the origin of the word rivalry.
Paula de Solminihac shows two installations. The first one, at the Contemporary Art Museum, is a video installation with an artistic research on creative processes and transformations in nature. The other one is in a space called Cutaway: a large format hanging sculpture that has as its starting point the Fogcatcher project that was installed in the north in 2018 and that has been growing in size and in research towards other invisible sources of water such as fresh water from subway aquifers.
Lapsus
solo show curated by Marta Smolińska
The exhibition at the Wozownia Art Gallery in Toruń is the second individual presentation of Sophia Pompéry's works in this institution.
Pompéry, who constantly moves on the borderline between physical phenomena and a kind of minimalism, combined - paradoxically - with sensual and poetic saturation of the visual form. Exploring this work, we are constantly invited to ask questions about the nature of reality, the probability and (in)possibility of the phenomena shown. Pompéry tracks absurdities and paradoxes, visualizing what is often elusive to the eye, or confronting us with small errors, noticed in places where we would least expect them. Regardless of whether we are dealing with photography, video or site-specific objects or ready mades, we are confronted with paradoxes, illogic and lapses. By lapsus we mean any unintentional human error that occurs involuntarily - as a result of absent-mindedness or simply out of inattention. This Latin word perfectly reflects the nature of these phenomena, which Pompéry, as an artist, carefully observes, as if she wanted to question their apparent obviousness.
This Play
curated by Emre Baycal
Drawn from the Arter Collection, the group exhibition This Play revolves around the concepts of childhood and play.
Holy storm
The artist who defines herself first as Painter handles directly the Palette instead of brushes. Literal word game, it uses the palette from the construction site, another less literal word game to say the world, this infinite yard that falls apart.
Her storm evokes a world in perpetual construction, in MIGRATION. Made of remains, it is rebuilt and erected again, like this coconut tree that survives after the passage of the hurricane, that we discover on the suspended pallet in one of the exhibition room.
Sigmund's rug
Le Tapis de Sigmund, based on a model by the artist Anne Deguelle, is the last work in Alençon lace executed by the lace-makers of the National Workshop op the Point d'Alençon. This masterpiece is the largest piece of Point d'Alençon lace executed by the Mobilier National to date. Its exceptional dimensions, the density and complexity of its iconographic program challenged the lacemakers for 10 years. It is presented for the first time to the public, accompanied by all the production documents allowing to apprehend the delicate work of interpretation of the lacemakers from the cartoons of contemporary artists.
The exhibition is made in partnership with Mobilier National.

New order: About Art in uncertain times
In the autumn of 2021, the international exhibition NEW ORDER will explore questions of order in uncertain times.
The future seems increasingly unpredictable, the now increasingly elusive. Shaped by geopolitical upheavals, new armed conflicts, climate crises, migratory movements and, most recently, the effects of a pandemic, world events have escalated into an unsettled present. The apparent stability of the global order seems unbalanced. Most notably, the pandemic crisis has thrown global networks and the unfettered mobility of data, goods and people into disarray...The international group exhibition NEW ORDER tackles these questions by examining the concept of order in its social and aesthetic dimensions. It brings together works by artists from different generations exploring different forms of order. Topics range from scientific and political orders to critical interrogations of power structures and surveillance mechanisms to blueprints for future orders.

The phantoms of the past – near or far, acknowledged or suppressed – hover over the contemporary artworks shown here, which have recently enriched the Museum's collection. Set in a wide variety of political contexts and geographical locations, they reveal how history appears to seep through the cracks of the present, returning to haunt it and refusing to let go. By focusing our gaze on the here and now, the artists in the exhibition invite us to confront events from the past that still reverberate today. Some search for bygone times, uncovering layers of memory, while others attempt to capture and preserve that which is about to fade away.

Duft, Smell, Olor
Internationally, numerous artists have dealt directly or indirectly with olfactory aspects in their artist publications. This was done on the one hand through a conceptual examination and on the other hand by dealing with materials that smell. Gerhard Rühm, for example, addressed smelling in the radio play Rhythmus r (1964), Anne Deguelle designed a Portait olfactif de Marcel Duchamp (2006), and Hella Berent created Forno (1990), an artist?s book made of rubber pages.

Festival Young Creation
«En Être», is the title of the 70th edition of the Jeune Création association, which will take place from September 12 to 26, 2020. More than 190 artists of all generations take part in this exhibition circuit in four venues: the Cabane Georgina in Marseille, the Espace Niemeyer in Paris, the Jeune Création gallery in Romainville and the Thaddaeus Ropac gallery in Pantin.
?En être" (In Being) echoes desire, simplicity and doing things together. The responsibility of today?s world belongs to us. This ritual recreation, rich of 72 years of history, will sing the joys and anxieties of the world, its deaths and its rebirths. We will be fairies and we will be witches. With bits of string, it is possible to weave, create and gather what is scattered. The history of art, uncertainties, testimonies, transmissions, attempts, successes, mistakes confront dreams and reality. In what, with whom, how and for what reasons? The future will tell us.
Photography to the test of Abstraction
The exhibition is dedicated to the issue of abstraction in the field of contemporary photography. Riemer?s unique approach to photography creates atmospheres, which combine the past and the future. Whether the works were recently taken by him, or he used images from photo archives and added his own take on them, they all have a sense of timelessness, allowing for both the future and the past to enter.
This exhibition is part of the 4th edition of the festival "Normandie impressionniste" and will take place in 3 locations:
Frac Normandie Rouen,
Micro Onde - art center,

Si le nez de Cléopâtre..
"Si le nez de Cléopâtre..." investigates the process of constant rewriting and "correction" of history and the forces at play that take place during the process. The project centers on taking the figure of Cleopatra as a metaphor for this practice and looks at how, as a historical figure, her image has been defaced and "refaced" in Western collective imaginary.

For the last four years, I have been collecting more than 60 gestures of people texting on their phones. In the installation, fifteen of these pairs of dismembered hands casted in white plaster stand on steel mounts in various positions mimicking this new way of communicating. The phone itself remains absent; leaving a negative space in between the fingers.

Dancing while the earth is burning, curated by Valeska Hageney and Imke Kannegiesser
In Pompéry's flag, wind hits wet ink, which leaves the block letters unfolded. The quote quoted on the flag "I do not believe in wind force" takes on the experiment, what happens when the element (wind), which is questioned, even decomposed the statement. Pompey paraphrases the testimony of some climate critics yesterday who, despite the facts presented, continue to claim: "I do not believe in Climate Change". Pompery's experiment even goes a step further, or the statement "I do not believe in wind force" is doubly disproved, which will be exposed to the flag itself throughout the summer of 2019 during the duration of the exhibition of wind force and more and more tattered. The wind sets the strong work. Until the logical conclusion. (...)

Eco Shifter
Exhibition curated by Debora Hirsch
Eco Shifter refers to the ability to interact, adapt, transform and create new relationships with the environment.
With the vanishing of referential backgrounds, we are inevitably bound to unprecedented panoramas. Our daily navigation has become far-out exchange of motionless protocols.
In these settings, once secluded artists turn into eco shifters or denizens of a peripheral ecosystem through permanent adjustments as the only strategy of adaptation and uncertain balance, in order to act as modifying agents.
Suffice to say that any contribution to these omnipresent system implies a shift in nature and relocation, going back to a temporary but conceptual solitude.

Human Aspect
curator: Piotr Krajewski
The WRO Media Art Biennale is the major forum for media art in Poland and one of the leading international contemporary art events in Europe. For its 30th aniversary, Wroclaw hosts a series of events exploring the complexity of the current relations between the human and the technological, with the human as an initiator, a recipient and, sometimes, a victim of these mutating interplays.
The National Museum's Four Domes Pavilion and the WRO Art Center serve as the major exhibition venues of the Biennale, exploring topical concerns of the modern (and archaeological) media, such as transhumanism, digital art, interactivity, AI, bot emotionality, video-art, live coding, inter-species communication, digital environments.

collateral event of the 13th Havana Biennale
Debris (Times Contengencies)
The exhibition inquires on different ways of approaching to the concept of time. This is a concept that revolved on other notions, such as death, ruin, change, memory amongst others. In this exhibition, artists from Colombia, Belgium and UK show several ways on the notion itself and how matter can be related to it.
Leyla Cardenas, as a special guest, presents her video "Deep Time" that questions the relation between time and space. She will have a talk on April 6 at 6.30pm

Material Insanity
The exhibition explores matter and its symbolic significance, in a plurality of dimensions and formal experiences, crossing various discourses in the service of a new aethetic.
Esmeralda Kosmatopoulos presents a multisensoriel installation "DO touch and smell". An installation that questions the physical connections existing between the viewer and the art work in an exhibition setting. In this work she offers visitors an opportunity to interact in a more direct and intimate way with the various materials present in the exhibition and reconsider along the way their experience of it. She collaborated with professional perfumers from Givaudan perfume to create an interpretation of the scent of materials found in the exhibition. Inside the installation, the visitor faces a large wall covered with hundreds of sorbaroards whose caps are made of stone, plaster, wool, sugar, iron...and each containing inside the fragrances attached to that same material. Visitors are encouragred to remove the cap and smell the fragrance while holding in their hand that material. Deprived from the all-too-obvious visual dimension of it, they can now engage into their own personal olfactory and tactile journey into the world of materials to capture their essence.
Luv and Lee
Fine white sand meanders across the floor - the installation by Lena von Goedeke and Sophia Pompéry lends the exhibition space hase29 the atmosphere of a changeable and at the same time timeless landscape. Fragments of text hidden under the sand are exposed in an air stream or made to disappear by drifting. Everything appears fleeting and fragmentary.
Luv and Lee form the first cooperation between Lena von Goedeke (*1983) and Sophia Pompéry (*1984). A common point of departure for the subtle, ambiguous works of both artists is their interest in scientific phenomena. Pompéry and Goedeke deal in detail with borderline perceptual situations: with their own sense of absurdity, they show how unreliable, ambivalent and enigmatic perception is and how our resonance towards natural processes behaves.
"First nature was a model, today it has become an afterimage of art." (Martin Seel) The abyss of nature has fascinated us from time immemorial to the present day. Especially today - unlike in earlier times - we are no longer just indifferent viewers*, but we are beginning more and more to fear the consequences of our interventions on planet Earth and are already suspecting what could happen to nature and to us.
NATUR appears in the installation LUV UND LEE as an erratic image, as a sublime site of an intervention, in which the minimalist scenery creates an underlying disturbing irritation. Before our eyes and under our feet, "Luv und Lee" literally turns into compelling questions about ourselves and our ethics in dealing with an endlessly "used" nature. .....
Cookbook' 19
co-curated by Nicolas Bourriaud and Andrea Petrini
Assembling 25 chefs and 20 artists from around the world, Cookbook?19 explores through a large panorama the relationship between the future art of cooking and the edibleness of art. As the second chapter of a project first organised in 2013 at the the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, the exhibition will be commissioned by the same team : the art critic, curator and co-founder of Palais de Tokyo Nicolas Bourriaud and food journalist, globetrotter, curator and creator of the World restaurant Awards, Andrea Petrini. Since trends in art and cuisine have evolved over the past five years, new criterias have emerged: Instagram potential, focus on microorganisms and their effects on the body (gluten free, vegan...), cultural identity, and globalization (appropriation, locavorism...).
The 2019 edition focuses on the unprecedented convergence of these subjects, highlighting an emerging generation of creators bound by a desire to interact with their environment and explore the stimulation of multiple senses. The choices of this new generation of chefs and artists are motivated by the exploration and incursion of each other's worlds: cooks will make live music or enable us to physically enter into the spirit of their dishes, while artists will try to push us to develop our sense of smell or taste.
Esmeralda Kosmatopoulos is presenting two puzzles and a video from her body of works "Chez Naussica" that revisits the definition of the Ancient Greek tradition of hospitality in the light of the current refugee crisis that has deeply transformed our relation to Otherness in Europe and beyond.
For this project, she re-enacted the ancient tradition of hospitality in a series of dinner performances that invited small groups of twelve Greek locals, refugees and expats to share anonymously a family-style dinner. The human interactions and personal stories that unfolded during each meal acted as the starting point for her to create artworks that explore the revealing of the Self and the construction of the relationship with the Other thru food.

Les Mariées de Fécamp
The Marvellous Cacophony
curators: Gunnarr B. Kvaran et Danielle Kvaran
At the beginning of 21st century, despite the fact that the Western notion of contemporary art has become an universal model of reference, no single common denominator has emerged. The art world has many centres, multi-layered activities, a plurality of ideas about what art is and what it can be, and an impressive number of heterogeneous works. This Marvellous Cacophony reflects the richness of the world. It is a positive condition, creating energies that can include dissonance and even conflicting ideas and expressions. It involves the coexistence of multiple identities and permanent relational flows, conveying notions of miscellany and openness, and creating meaningful narratives about art and culture, social issues and politics.
The Marvellous Cacophony will explore worldwide artistic production, looking into diverse art scenes and different generations of living artists. It will bring together a constellation of works that express, through their forms, structures, materials, techniques, devices and content, the extraordinary richness of contemporary artistic expression.

Møenlight Sonata - A homage to the starry sky of Møn
curator René Block
To celebrate its tenth anniversary, Kunsthal 44Møen will put together a special constellation of stars under the lyric name "Møenlight Sonata", alluding to Beethoven's 14th sonata for piano, which he also referred to "quasi una fantasia". The show will present a cross-section of the Kunsthal's program so far, as well as newly commissioned works by artists from Bulgaria, Finland, Germany, Great Britain and Turkey that are still new to the island. What connects the works of these individual artists is the specific use of light, as subject and material. Light (or the absence of it) is not only one of the oldest topics in art history, but also a special condition on Møn ? during the day, but also at night.The 10 year anniversary of Kunsthal 44Møen is conceived to be a summer festival, an invitation to all groups of local residents and visiting guests to celebrate the sky over Møn.

The Following Is a True Story
In March 2017 Mader was chosen by an international jury as the winner of the eleventh Foam Paul Huf Award. The winning series Ekaterina is part of an exhibition consisting of several projects that jointly form a narrative about a naive young man in search of happiness.
His work stands out for the humour and irony with which he addresses serious topics such as loneliness, love, exploitation and the female body. Beneath the seeming superficiality of his images, his work contains many layers that can be interpreted in various ways.
Mader plays a subtle game with what we believe to be true ? a game with which he confronts us with our own assumptions and prejudices. In this day and age, of ?fake news? and idealised user profiles on social media, Mader?s work demonstrates that the familiar question about the truthfulness of photography is still a relevant one.

Der Schein der Dinge
solo show by Sophia Pompéry
Sophia Pompéry is a keen observer. With a phenomenological vision onto the world she questions the deceptive appearance of things and opens up unusual perspectives on apparently well-known objects and conditions. At studio space 45cbm she presents a set of works, that pay homage to the elusive moment, with a focus on the transition from one state of being to another. In a playful experimental set-up physical and optical regularities are being fathomed out, and philosophical questions concerning space, time and self are raised.

No place like home
In celebration of Dada?s 100th anniversary in 2016 and the centennial of Duchamp?s Fountain in 2017, the exhibition examines how artists have incorporated commonplace household items into their work, removing them from the context of the home in ways that subvert the mundane experiences of daily life.

Illegibility, Palimpsests
The Pan Tadeusz Museum in Wroclaw is a place where history and modernity come together. Based on the best traditions of Polish Romanticism, it continues to promote the most vivid and active aspects of Polish culture, seeking a language which makes it possible to present the cultural legacy of this great work of literary art in a contemporary context, allowing room for reinterpretation
The phenomenon of illegibility and the accumulation of layers of script is the subject of the new temporary exhibition at the Pan Tadeusz Museum. The exhibition includes works e.g. by Andrzej Bednarczyk, Irma Blank, Zbigniew Libera and Andrzej Szewczyk.
Most of us have experienced writing down a note which is later illegible, even to ourselves; it has occurred to almost everyone that we failed to decipher someone else's scribbling, or have come across a system of signs that we couldn't understand. How do we feel then: irritated, helpless, powerless? Or perhaps, in those conditions, when the desire for meaning evades us so blatantly, do we discover perception of different kind, where the script becomes a material phenomenon in itself, a fascinating ornament, a code without information? We see scripts which are visible, but not legible.
The notion of a palimpsest appears to be closely related to illegibility. This term describes a manuscript written on previously used material. A palimpsest involves layers of overwritten script, in which the old layers eventually begin to reappear from below the new, making the writing less legible, if at all.

The Pleasure of Love
Curated by David Elliott, this 56th October Salon will concentrate on what role emotion plays in contemporary art and how it may be framed in ways that are neither banal nor kitsch. This may include the not-so-simple pleasures of love, humor, horror and any other perspectives that art may bring to bear on the fragility of human experience and life which, in itself, may have a transient or long-lasting impact.
The Pleasure of Love, the 56th October Salon, will be composed of around 60 artists from Serbia, the Balkan region and the world at large chosen directly by the Artistic Director and from an open submission. The Salon will take place in Belgrade City Museum and in Cultural Center of Belgrade (Art gallery, Artget gallery and Podroom gallery)

City after the City
At the heart of the debate about the future of urban planning in the twenty-first century is the idea that the city must go beyond the combination of values and motivations that make it what it is today.
The City after the City exhibitions, which form an authentic string of events, present a succession of situations that illustrate a longing for a different kind of city. They avoid the trap of nostalgia for some mythical ideal city, and make no claim to reach the place where our real origins are rooted. If we admit that cities are no longer able to self-certify traditions and roots, then we can say we are facing a divisive event of great impact, which above all testifies to the opaque nature of today?s urban model. City after the City examines the symptoms of a global trend towards going beyond the conventional city. These symptoms are displayed to the general public in an effective manner

Between the pessimism of the intellect and the optimism of the will
The title of the main exhibition* is inspired by an aphorism invoked by the Marxist thinker and politician Antonio Gramsci in the Prison notebooks written between 1929 and 1935. Gramsci wrote : "the challenge of modernity is to live without illusions and without becoming disillusionned (...) I'm pessimist because of intelligence, but an optimist because of will".
The exhibition takes Gramsci's aphorism as a point of departure to reflect on the current crisis that governs much of the Mediterranean region, the geographic focus of the Biennale.

RV sur la Corniche
The French/Moroccan artist Mehdi-Georges Lahlou is the enfant terrible of an art that does not exist. Or not yet, since he is in the process of inventing it. His works navigate between North and South, between cultures, between several media, between multiple intertwined notions. From this dual identity Mehdi-Georges Lahlou guides us into his interior world. He raises burlesque to a high art status, playing with the symbols of the Muslim tradition.
As part of the festival “Return to Sender," HAU Hebbel am Ufer presents a selection of his works – one of them is a very special version of Nefertiti.

Under Erasure
Contemporary art is rife with erasures. Erasures are visible in it, present as themselves in various ways. The subject of the works in the exhibition is what was once a covert stage in the process of creation. Unlike observing works whose wholeness and meaning depend on hidden parts, the current gaze is focused on the contradictory presence of the erased and on the erased/visible relationship as a signification factor.

Fear and Desire
new cinematic works by Julian Rosefeldt, Christoph Girardet & Matthias Muller, Reynold Reynolds, Clement Page, Marion Tampon-Lajarriette
+ new sculptures by Mattia Biagi
There are few subjects in the study of cinema that are quite as salient as fear & desire. Freud, Lacan, Lyotard and dozens more have written about the desiring, or libidinal, function of the cinematic, while semioticians such as Christian Metz have described how such voyeuristic mechanisms such as distance, displacement and lack are part and parcel of the filmic experience as well. ?What distinguishes the cinema,? writes Metz, ?is an extra reduplication, a supplementary and specific turn of the screw bolting desire to lack? which is partly why the cinema is so very well-suited to handling erotic scenes, which depend so heavily on direct, non-sublimated voyeurism.?
Co-curated by Clement Page, the exhibition Fear & Desire at Young Projects will feature 7 films by some of Europe?s most respected artists. Each medium-to-short work explores the theme of fear & desire, both as a topic and as a formal concern, and yet no two approaches are alike.

Les Arts au Mur et aux Champs
der Leone have sept cabecas
curators : Filipa Oliveira & Elfi Turpin
This collective exhibition gets its inspiration from the film Poto & Cabengo by Jean-Pierre Gorin who captured in 1979 twin sisters that invented and used their own language until the age of 8. In the horizon of this film, the exhibition brings together artists and contributors whose practice is based on the space of language, text or speech, playing with notions of interpretation, nonsense and invention.
Le film "Ce qui m'a fait prendre le train" , de Pierre Mazingarbe, est en compétition nationale du festival de court-metrages de Pantin.
Projection at Cinéma 104 à Pantin :
