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.

A Propos Hodler | Kunsthaus Zurich

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.

With works by Asim Abdulaziz, Laura Aguilar, Caroline Bachmann, Sabian Baumann, Denise Bertschi, Ishita Chakraborty, Andriu Deplazes, Latifa Echakhch, Eva Egermann & Cordula Thym, Marianne Flotron and many others.

Unexpected lessons #2: Decolonizing Nature | Goethe Institute, Reykjavic

Screening of Theatrum Botanicum Trilogy by Uriel Orlow, including the films Imbizo Ka Mafavuke (2017, 28min), Muthi (2016-2017, 17min) and The crown against Mafavuke (2016, 18min), as part of a film programme that expands on the topics of the journey of seeds between the Svalbard Global Seed Vault and Lebanon, patent battles over traditional plant medicine in South Africa and the traces of colonial ambitions of explorers in the Natural History Museum Berlin. In the context of the three-day performative conference UNEXPECTED LESSONS #2, part of the festival Goethe Morph* Iceland at Nordic House in Reykjavik, September 13th – 15th, 2022.
Just like its predecessor event in Berlin and Nairobi, UNEXPECTED LESSONS #2 is dedicated to the theme of decolonization. This time we put a focus on nature, from different perspectives. What makes nature the other? What role does the decoupling of nature and culture play in this? Is the culture/nature dichotomy tenable at all? And how can we decolonize our view of the world and think nature differently?
