The International Short Film Festival Oberhausen | Oberhausen, Germany

In its 2017 Theme programme the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen looks at the history of utopian hope universally pronounced to be dead in our present day and age

“Why we’re losing the Internet to the culture of hate”, the cover of the August 2016 issue of Time magazine read. Ever since Donald Trump won the US elections, the prevalent topic of discussion is whether the internet is a failed utopia. But exactly what kind of utopia is this and what types of participatory media existed before the internet? In its Theme programme ‘Social media before the internet’, curated by Tilman Baumgärtel, Oberhausen will look at pre-digital forms of media by everyone for everyone and ask whether current developments were already foreshadowed in the early media experiments and what these can contribute to a re-assessment of our current situation.

Curated by Tilman Baumgärtel, including works by Yi Cui, Chai Siris, Zhong Su, Ayo Akingbade, Amber Bemak, Nadia Granados, Boris Poljak, Ivan Jose Murgic Capriotti, Sofia Lena Monardo, Zhong Su, Ico Costa, Hao Jingban, Philippa Ndisi-Herrmann, Katie Davies, Jovana Reisinger, Ulu Braun, Laurentia Genske, Uriel Orlow, Tim Nowitzki, Kerstin Honeit, Markus Mischkowski, Kai Maria Steinkühler, Moïra Himmelsbach, Eszter Jánka, Dean Ruddock, Aude Cuenod, Martin Turk, John Sheedy, Antoneta Kusijanović, Naghmeh Farzaneh, Claire Randall, Egil Pedersen, Christoph Girardet, DJ Hell, Zeljko Vidovic, and Mariola Brillowska

Small Wonders: Reimagining British Art | Williamson Art Gallery & Museum, London

In 1951, the Festival of Britain acted as a beacon of post-war hope, launching a landmark touring exhibition that brought world-class art to local museums and art centres across the UK. Seventy-five years later, Hayward Gallery Touring honours this legacy with Small Wonders: Reimagining British Art, a contemporary reimagining of that original vision.

The exhibition brings together 50 acclaimed artists who have participated in the British Art Show – the UK’s definitive five-year curated survey of contemporary art – since its inception in 1979. Taking inspiration from Marcel Duchamp’s Boîte-en-valise – a “portable museum” contained within a suitcase – each artist has created a new, small-scale work that responds to their original British Art Show presentation. The result is a condensed yet expansive overview of a half-century of British art history.

With works by Abake, Tomma Abts, Caroline Achaintre, Simeon Barclay, Zarina Bhimji, Kathrin Böhm, Frank Bowling, Pablo Bronstein, Andrea Büttner, Varda Caivano, Ergin Çavuşoğlu, Michael Craig-Martin, Nicholas Deshayes, Mandy El-Sayegh, Doug Fishbone, Martino Gamper, and many others.

SIBYLLA | Art Basel, Switzerland

SIBYLLA unfolds as an exhibition, curated by Sónia Taborda and Joerg Bader, that evokes the Latin name as a way of thinking about human connection beyond time.

A performance by Uriel Orlow unfolds in parallel with his presentation at the Giardini of La Biennale di Venezia, extending its conceptual and sensory inquiry into the context of Basel.

Developed in collaboration with Maria João Pires and Martin Masan, music curators of the project, the work takes place in the garden, where musicians perform with and for plants, activating a subtle dialogue between human and more-than-human forms of listening.

Mangoes & Meaning | Museum of Goa, India

Uriel Orlow is presenting Mangoes of Goan Origin (An Archive) as part of the group show Mangoes and Meaning: Histories, Ecologies and Cultural Imagination at Museum of Goa.

Expect to encounter the mango in ways you may not have before. After all, this isn’t just any fruit-it’s aam, the common thread that connects us all. This exhibition brings together personal, cultural, ecological, and communal perspectives, reflecting on what it means to grow a mango, to sit in the shade of its tree, to share it with neighbours, and to spend long summers in its presence. The exhibition explores how this fruit becomes a symbol of place, of season, and of belonging.
