Uriel Orlow will present his performance “Reveries of Collective Walkers (Busan)” as part of the Sea Art Festival 2025 in Busan.
Under the title Undercurrents: Waves Walking on the Water, the exhibition traces the subtle metabolic exchanges hidden between land and sea, seeking to reveal their invisible yet vital flows as part of our sensory and embodied experience. This edition of Sea Art Festival asks how the shifting metabolic rhythms of the sea intersect with our daily lives, and how these unseen processes might surface as shared awareness.

Confluences | Fondation François Schneider, France
The Confluences exhibition brings together the collections of the Fondation François Schneider, FRAC Alsace, FRAC Champagne-Ardenne and 49 Nord 6 Est – FRAC Lorraine. Inspired by the concept of “confluences”, it explores the interactions between different works, like rivers that meet. Through different themes, the works engage in a dialogue of forms, compositions, narratives and colors. Visitors are invited to imagine themselves in moments of life inspired by water, whether admiring a sparkling sea, exploring urban beaches or observing the harmony between body and water.
Group exhibition curated by Sarah Guilain, with works by Claude Batho, Mégane Brauer, Pat Bruder, Cécile Carriere, Julie Chaffrot, Gigi Cifali, and many others.

Oscillating Spaces | CCA, Montréal
Oscillating Spaces looks to the Rhône Glacier—undergoing fast melting and transformation processes—as a case study to reflect on environmental challenges in a constantly oscillating site. Juxtaposing glacier cartography, photography, film, ecclesiastical documents, tourist souvenirs, and architectural archives, the exhibition questions the role of architecture when confronted with a shifting climate, an unstable landscape, and a site that possesses a life of its own. The research also incorporates the work of contemporary art and architecture practices whose works document the Alpine landscape, responding to and raising awareness about the complex consequences of glacier recession for plant, animal, and human life.
Group exhibition curated by Anneke Abhelakh, with works by Aufdi Aufdermauer, Anneke Abhelakh, Filip Dujardin, Harvest Salon, Leo Fabrizio, and many others.
