Weekly World Wide Exhibition Round Up

We have rounded up a selection of upcoming shows for you to see brought to you in a regular weekly snapshot 

 

In the coming week there is:

 

Sarah Sze

Victoria Miro

Mayfair: Opening 30 January – 14 March

Wharf Road: Opening 30 January – 28 March

 

United States representative at the 2013 Venice Biennial, Sarah Sze, is having her third solo show at the Victoria Miro gallery. Sze’s interest in art and architecture has formed into her acclaimed sculptural practice often working throughout gallery infrastructures, through walls, floors and ceilings. Her show at the Victoria Miro stretches all three main spaces utilising a myriad of everyday objects that put to question our relationships with memory, information systems and human behaviour. The Wharf Road Galleries features a reconfigured work previously produced in conjunction with Sze’s residency at the Fabric Workshop and Museum in Philadelphia. These include installations looking at the relationship between space, time, mass and perspective, summoning notions akin to Einstein’s general theory of relativity. At the Mayfair Gallery, a spread of small sculptures reveals Sze’s exploration of the often slippery nature of mapping, dissecting and understanding information.

The Violet Crab at DRAF

David Roberts Art Foundation

Opening 6 February – 2 May 2015

 

An extravagant and exciting new show looking at the culture of cabaret past and present. The Violet Crab, designed and directed by artist Than Hussein Clark brings together new commissions, live performances and works from the David Roberts Collection. By bringing together the ‘black box’ of traditional theatre to the ‘white cube’ of conventional galleries, The Violet Crab merges these two worlds, rearranging hierarchies relative to each respective heritage through a combination of subject, object and performance. The structures and architecture of the gallery is reconfigured in an exhibition where spaces become cloakroom, bar, stage and shadow theatre. Over sixty works from the David Roberts Collection features in this show inclucing many unseen works.

 

Private view: 5 February 2015, 7 – 9pm

On Kawara – Silence

Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York

Opening 6 February –  3 May 2015

 

The personal experience of the passage of time and space has been celebrated as Kawara’s most seminal works; as well as marking the rise of conceptual art. With the cooperation of the artist until his recent death, On Kawara – Silence for the first time brings together every category of Kawar’s output starting from 1964, such as date paintings (the Today series); postcards (the I Got Up series) and telegrams (the I Am Still Alive series) among others. The Guggenheim will also present Kawara’s famous One Million Years, a durational performance reciting dates from a vast ledger.

Ragnar Kjartansson: The End

Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit

Opening 6 February – 29 March 2015

 

The winner of this year’s Derek Williams Trust Purchase Award and Art Mundi 6 International Exhibition and Prize nominee, Ragnar Kjartansson is opening his show at the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit. Known for his breathtaking live performative installation and video works replete with music, Kjartansson collaborated with Icelandic musician Davíð Þór Jónsson at The Banff Centre, Alberta to produce The End – a five channel video installation shot in the Rocky Mountains. The installation is synched with a single piece of mangled country music, which along with the video footage, was recorded in several pastoral and magnificant locations along Banff, Alberta. This show presents the beginning of a partnership between Kjartansson and MOCAD.

Opening 30 January – 28 February 2015

 

2012 – 13 artist in residence at Krinzinger Projekte, Waqas Khan has his first solo show Acoustics of Life at Galerie Krinzinger.
