As part of the Anton Bruckner Year 2024, the exhibition is dedicated to the aspect of communal singing from the perspective of contemporary art. The collection brings together around 20 national and international fi gures for whom singing is a fundamental point of reference within their artistic practice. The works on display explore singing in its various levels of meaning: be it as an expression of personal identity, as an opportunity for intercultural exchange, as a means of (political) protest, or as a community-building practice within contemporary societies.
With works by Sammy Baloji, Chto Delat, Michèle Pearson Clarke, Clément Cogitore, Ines Doujak, Noam Enbar, Nikolaus Gansterer, Mathilde ter Heijne, Dejan Kaludjerović and many others.
The exhibition Knowledge Is a Garden presents Uriel Orlow’s elaborate three-part video installation Theatrum Botanicum Trilogy (2016-2018) for the first time since it became part of the Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst collection. In addition, the artist was invited to place his works based on his own artistic interests in dialogue with works from the collection. His focus is mainly on artistic explorations of «wilful non-knowledge» (agnotology). What knowledge is permitted in the course of global power relations, what is suppressed or hidden? What knowledge is unlawfully acquired? How is knowledge lost? What is a knowledge economy?
With works by Maria Eichhorn, Susan Hiller, General Idea, and others.
For his show in the MCBA Espace Projet venue, Uriel Orlow is presenting a series of new works from a research project begun in Bolzano (Italy) which takes fossilised trees as its main subjects, in order to explore the extended time of climate change.
The exhibition ‘Imminent and Eminent Ecologies’, is co-curated by Leora Farber and Brenton Maart, and falls under VIAD’s newly established Bioart + Design Africa (BA+DA) research stream. The artworks on show foreground the entanglement between living and non/living forms, humans and the more-than-human, and the effect culture has on climate change. The exhibition advocates that holistic decolonial practice can only be manifest through breaking down the artificial boundaries between species, and between the organic and elemental. An important outcome of this is the emergence of a new kind of trans-species democracy composed of multiple materialities – a democracy whose constitution is premised on what theorist and physicist Karen Barad terms ‘intra-actions’ based on empathy, care and respect.
With works by Adam Broomberg and Rafael Gonzalez, Janneke de Lange, Leora Farber, Stacy Hardy, Russell Hlongwane, Francois Knoetze and Amy Louise Wilson, Dean Hutton, Bronwyn Katz, Nandipha Mntambo, Miliswa Ndziba and many others.

How is it possible in a technological urban world full of stimulation to maintain a connection with other species that share our direct environment? Building on the (re)connecting.earth (02) Biennial from Geneva, the edition “Beyond Water” evolved into a nomadic version in Kiel, featuring the works of 31 artists in two museums and in public space.
This edition highlights the diversity of urban ecosystems and the richness of contemporary art production with an environmental focus. It explores the artistic potential of using scientific knowledge to draw attention to, imagine, listen to, and visualize living forms. Thanks to the works of the chosen artists and local initiatives, the Kiel Fjord and parks will become a landscape of creativity, reflection, and participation.
Group show with works by Carolina Bachmann, Flurina Badel & Jérémie Sarbach, Juan Blanco, Seba Calfuqueo, Luis Camnitzer, Luis & Gabo Camnitzer, Julian Charrière, Eli Cortiñas and many others.
News from Everywhere is a series of artworks created for a noticeboard in London’s Ravenscourt Park. Six artists – one from every inhabited continent – were invited to respond to the board’s function and surrounding environment. Displayed over the summer holidays, News from Everywhere brings the world to Ravenscourt Park.
The exhibition takes its name from the 1890 utopian novel ‘News from Nowhere’ written by Hammersmith artist and activist William Morris. Set in 21st century London transformed by agrarian revolution, Morris imagined a more equal society, united by creativity, collective land ownership and respect for nature.

The show curated by Leandré D’Souza with Dale Luis Menezes as Historian adviser, takes its inspiration from a collection of watercolors produced in sixteenth and seventeenth-century Goa, the Codex Casanatense (c. 1560 and 1580), which depicts daily life in Goa, Asia, and Africa; Suma de árvores e plantas da Índia intra Ganges (1612) by Manuel Godinho de Éredia, a compendium of Goan plants; and O livro das plantas de todas as fortalezas, cidades e povoações do estado da India Oriental (1635) by Antonio Bocarro, illustrating coastal areas of Africa and India.

Bringing together some fifteen local and international artists, the exhibition Une clameur covers the whole spectrum of the visual arts, from painting and performance to sculpture, film, photography and sound installation. A clamour evokes a collective cry, a unified chorus. It is the expression of a mass, a group, a community, which, in an exhalation, makes itself heard. It is a potential clamour, capable of challenging an established order. But the massive energy it releases remains distant, as if promised, indistinct and confused. This title, manifestly sonic and political, underlines the role of a profoundly augural art form.
With works along side Atelier Paysan, Max Bondu, Mathilde Chénin, Faire Argile, Félicien Goguey, Salomé Guillemin, La fabrique éditions, LB Plantes, Lou Masduraud, Louise Hervé & Clovis Maillet, Krishna May and many others.
Ground Zero is a collective exhibition bringing together diverse artists working along the themes of ecology, the relation between human and non-human world, the relation between urban and rural living and the activation of material and immaterial heritage. The title refers to a starting point, to the possibility of new beginnings and connections. At the same time, it refers to the ground as a starting point, to the earth as a place where life and creation appear. How could we build from the ground up new ecologies of care between artists and rural communities?
With works along side by Marcelo Moscheta, Cristina Ataide, Susana Anagua, Catarina Leitão, Nithya Iyer, Nii Obodai, Mónica de Miranda and Jermay Michael Gabriel.
The exhibition presents a series of works that are part of continuous research about the fragility and power of the written word. Through the exploration of text, redaction, and the materiality of language, the show explores different narratives of how writing constructs and obfuscates reality and memory. The works highlight the ritual value and the material role of the written word, marking a space filled with tensions where language both preserves and fails to capture the unspeakable.
With works along side by Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Saâdane Afif, Marwa Arsanios, Bianca Bondi, Teresa Margolles, Carlos Motta, Oscar Muñoz, Nicolás Paris and Charwei Tsai.
“Problemas do Primitivismo – A Partir de Portugal” is an exhibition that, based on extensive research in Portuguese archives and collections, questions “primitivism” and its contradictions. The exhibition addresses the contexts of dictatorship, colonisation, anti-colonialism and post-colonialism, proposing a visual machine impregnated with images and artistic and cultural references that problematises the invention of the “primitive” and its persistence into contemporary times.
With works along side by Achille Mbembe, Amadeo de Souza-Cardoso, Bernardo Marques, Boris Groys, Canto da Maya, Cottinelli Telmo, Cristina Roldão, Cruzeiro Seixas, Mário Cesariny, Kiluanji Kia Henda and many others.

1000écologies is a platform that makes visible the links created by Utopiana through its workshops, residencies and events. It has three components: proposing, exhibiting and displaying. It’s like scaffolding, built up over time and from project to project, creating bridges between different approaches and disciplines.
This new edition of 1000écologies, entitled Ces jours terrestres, is a month-long journey organised by Utopiana, in collaboration with several partners, which gives its audience the opportunity to develop skills to re-inhabit our living spaces, to think about our relationships, our affects and our imaginations.

The Kunsthaus Zürich examines the contemporary relevance of Switzerland’s ‘national artist’, Ferdinand Hodler. ‘Apropos Hodler’ counters one-sided interpretations with the rich diversity of the painter’s formal, cultural and political impact, and sets out to view the old and familiar with new eyes. Works by more than 30 contemporary artists are juxtaposed with some 50 paintings by the Swiss icon.

This exhibition brings together contemporary art exploring our complex relationships with the forest, ranging from ideas of an inviolable intrinsic value to the conception of something to be utilised, such as an economic asset or a space for recreation. What is a forest? And what pressing questions about it are relevant here and now?
Through photography, film, sculpture, drawing, textiles, sound and installations, artists, an architect and a storyteller invite us to reflect on the forest, observed and depicted from various perspectives and with diverse experiences. Their works provoke questions about tradition and future, forestry practices, land conflicts, biological diversity and the forest as a sacred space.
With works by Matti Aikio, Malin Arnell & Åsa Elzén, Gerd Aurell & Micael Norberg, Toms Kokins, Norrakollektivet (Anja Örn, Fanny Carinasdotter, Tomas Örn), Elia Nurvista, Edith Marie Pasquier, Jörgen Stenberg and Lena Ylipää.
The Exhibition Critical Zones. In Search of a Common Ground will be on display at the Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan New Delhi from Saturday, 3 February until Sunday, 3 March 2024.
For a long time the reactions of Earth to our human actions remained unnoticed, and have now finally – not least due to recent international climate protests – moved into public consciousness. The exhibition project Critical Zones invites visitors to engage with the critical situation of the Earth in a novel and diverse way and to explore new modes of coexistence between all forms of life.
The travelling exhibition was conceived and first exhibited at ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe (2020-2022) based on a concept by Bruno Latour and Peter Weibel.
