Icone Vegetali: Arte e Botanica nel Secolo XXI | Museo Villa dei Cedri, Bellinzona

Curated by Carole Haensler with works by Alan Butler, Eduardo Kac, Suzanne Treister, Thomas Flechtner, Anne-Laure Franchette, Roswitha Gobbo, Uriel Orlow, Lisa Lurati, Gabriela Maria Müller and Ursula Palla.
The exhibition Icone Vegetali aims to establish a dialogue between natural heritage – in particular the plant species of the Museum’s park and, in a wider context, the herbaria, which are traces, memories to be preserved and documented – and contemporary artworks. By considering the different facets of the relationship between art and botany, such as the methodology of classification or the aesthetics of herbarium documentation, we aim to analyse the  cultural and anthropological aspects of the systematization of plant species – past, real, virtual or fictitious – and the impact of this perception on the relationship between man and nature.

Busan Biennale: Sea Art Festival 2025 | Busan, Korea

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.

Group show with works by Anna Anderegg, Antje Majewski, Diana Lelnonek, Heike Kabisch, Hyeong‑seob Cho, Janine Antoni, Jeewi Lee & Phillip C. Reiner, Jin Lee, Marco Barotti, Marie Griesmar, Mathias Kessler and Ahmet Civelek, and many others.

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.
