Still Present! | 12th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art

Uriel Orlow presents a newly commissioned installation at the 12th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art. Titled Still Present! and curated by Kader Attia, the Biennale gathers artists from around the globe engage with the legacies of modernity and the resulting state of planetary emergency. In addition to their works, the exhibition features historical documents, including political and activist publications from the Archiv der Avantgarden – Egidio Marzona (AdA). The contributions reveal connections between colonialism, fascism, and imperialism, and propose decolonial strategies for the future, oriented around a set of questions: How can a decolonial ecology be shaped? What role can non-Western feminist movements play in the reappropriation of historical narratives? How can the debate on restitution be reinvented beyond the return of plundered goods? Can the field of emotion be reclaimed through art?

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.

The Confluences exhibition brings together the collections of the Fondation François Schneider, FRAC Alsace, FRAC Champagne-Ardenne and 49 Nord 6 Est – FRAC Lorraine.

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.
