DUSSELDORF.- The Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen is honoring the internationally acclaimed photographic pioneer and critical voice Katharina Sieverding (b. 1941 in Prague) with a major retrospective. The award-winning artist, who lives in Düsseldorf, became known for her iconic close-ups of her own face and her large-scale photographs, which she was one of the first to introduce to the art world in the mid-1970s. Her monumental works, which can be categorized as performance, body art, and experimental film, have added a new dimension to photography. In her work, she addresses themes that, while highly topical, can be read as timeless. Her work is always an exploration of important issues such as ethical and political responsibility in the face of numerous global crises. To this day, Katharina Sieverding takes a political stance with her art: on National Socialism and the question of German identity against the backdrop of anti-democratic forces, as well as on global issues by repeatedly focusing ...

The Best Photos of the Day The many female artists who, from the 16th to the 19th century, made Rome their place of study and work with a rich, varied and highly artistic production, often relegated to a sort of historiographical "silence", are at the center of the exhibition "Roma Pittrice. Artiste al lavoro tra XVI e XVIII secolo", hosted at the Museum of Rome at Palazzo Braschi from 25 October 2024 to 23 March 2025.

BONN.- One thesis on the origins of dance is that it was initially a way of communicating. Whether developed from movements at work or as a reaction to natural phenomena, dance has always described human interactions. Even in the earliest cultures, dance was an important part of rituals, ceremonies, festivals and entertainment. It may also have played a central role in the transmission of stories before they were recorded ... More | |

Lisson Gallery announces representation of Carolee Schneemann Foundation
LONDON.- Lisson Gallery announced representation of the Carolee Schneemann Foundation in collaboration with P·P·O·W, New York. Carolee Schneemann (19392019), one of the most provocative and inspiring artists of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, created work over six decades across various artistic media: experimental painting, sculptural assemblages and kinetic works, performance in which she used her own body as a medium, lyrical films and immersive multi-media installations. Schneemann remains an important source of reference for contemporary artists today, as her works addressed urgent topics from sexual expression and the objectification of women, to political narratives and the suffering of war. Her work has been exhibited internationally, including at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Museum ... More

Exhibition of new paintings by British artist Fiona Rae opens at Miles McEnery Gallery
NEW YORK, NY.- Miles McEnery Gallery opened an exhibition of new paintings by British artist Fiona Rae, on view 31 October - 7 December. Accompanying the exhibition is a fully illustrated publication featuring a text by the artist. My idea for the Word series is that each painting embodies a sentence or quote. There is no intention to illustrate the meaning or emotion of the particular sentence; instead, the languages of abstraction and literature twist around each other and, I hope, give rise to new and unexpected images and meaning. I have a long-standing interest in the skirmish between intelligibility and ambiguity; language is mutable, not literal, barely holding back the chaos even though it is our opportunity to understand each other and make sense of the world. Indeed, as Krazy Kat said so wisely, Lenguage is that we may mis-unda-stend each ... More

Centre Pompidou-Metz opens Cerith Wyn Evans' first solo exhibition in a French institution
METZ.- For Borrowed Light Through METZ, Cerith Wyn Evans presents his first solo exhibition in a French institution since his 2006 show at the Musée dArt Moderne de Paris (ARC). Transforming the Forum and Gallery 3, he brings together light and sound works to occasion mises-en-scene of radiant visual and aural effects. Like characters in a repertory theater, older works return and interact with recent works to generate new scenarios. Each work remains singular yet the artist places them in concert in such a way that the exhibition constantly mutates as if animated by an inner life. Beginning his career in the 1970s as an experimental filmmaker, Cerith Wyn Evans has maintained his correspondence with conceptual art in his sculptures and installations. His works retain the cinematic qualities of his earlier career; however, the viewers ... More
