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.

Memória Colateral | Galeria Avenida da Índia, Lisboa

Uriel Orlow’s exhibition ‘Memória Colateral / Collateral Memory’ proposes an investigation into the concept of restitution, a theme he has explored for more than two decades. Beyond the simple return of objects or artefacts, restitution needs to be taken as a collective responsibility to reintegrate marginalised memories into history. This concept gains expression in interventions that recover forgotten knowledge and propose new ways of narrating historical events. Emphasis is placed on listening to the resonances of suppressed narratives in the present and fostering an ethic of memory and reparation.

With the support of República Portuguesa – Cultura I DGARTES – Direção-Geral das Artes, Galerias Municipais I EGEAC and Pro Helvetia I Swiss Art Council

Naming Natures | Museum of Natural History, Neuchâtel (CH)

In 1838, Swiss naturalist Johann Jakob von Tschudi (1818—1889), commissioned by the Natural History Museum of Neuchâtel, sailed to Peru on a merchant ship filled with fabrics, champagne, and watches. During his journey, which lasted almost five years, he hunted and prepared over a thousand specimens, which he sent to Neuchâtel. This story is not unique: many European museums have collections acquired in a colonial context.

The Naming Natures project, supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation and the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, takes a critical look at natural history collections from colonial settings, combining scientific, historical, and museographic approaches. Is it still possible to exhibit these collections? And if so, how can they be presented differently without exoticizing or glorifying the figure of the “great men of science”? What responsibility do museums have towards the communities concerned?

With works by Chonon Bensho, Denise Bertsch, Fabiano Kueva, Ximena Garrido-Lecca, Raúl Silva, Santiago Yahuarcani and many others.

Come Sing Along! On Raising Our Voices | Lentos Kunstmuseum, Linz

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.

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.

KNOWLEDGE IS A GARDEN | Migros Museum, Zurich

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.

Imminent and Eminent Ecologies | FADA Gallery | University of Johannesburg

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.

Kiehl.(re)connecting.earth | Kiel, Germany

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.

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.

Une clameur | Fort l’Écluse and Château de Voltaire, France

At the initiative of Pays de Gex Agglo, the Atelier Bermuda curatorial team is taking over two heritage sites – Fort l’Écluse and Château de Voltaire.

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 | Galeria Nova Ogiva, Óbidos

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.

L’écriture ou la vie | Mor Charpentier, Paris

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 | CIAJG, Guimarães

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.
