Ruangrupa to anti-Semitism
The world art exhibition is still running for 41 days. More than half is over. Is the atmosphere poisoned? The curatorial team ruangrupa thinks so. Two members of the collective, Farid Rakun and Reza Afisina, commented on the accusations of anti-Semitism in an interview with the Süddeutsche Zeitung.
Yassi Mazandi: kinetic sculpture about the search for meaning and climate change
A 12th century poem combined with climate change: Yassi Mazandi's sculpture Language of the Birds fascinates with simplicity and a powerful statement. From 14 August, it will be on display outside the Los Angeles County Museum of Art for almost a year.
Art in a Box: »Modernism in Miniature«
This exhibition is deliberately not about such monumental works of modernism as Pablo Picasso's 27m² painting Guernica (1937) or Claes Oldenburg's metre-high sculptures. With Modernism in Miniature, the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena, California, dedicates itself to important small-format works from Expressionism to Pop Art. The show opens on 12 August.
The materiality of color
Verónica Lehner literally brings color into space. By creating sculptures out of paint, she moves between the media of painting and sculpture. In an interview with Art.Salon, the artist talks about the spatial effect of color and why randomly found objects are an ideal basis for a work of art.
Major Retrospective for Minimalist Lee Ufan
Lee Ufan made a name for himself with minimalist sculptures and paintings. To this day, the whole world presents his works: To celebrate the 15th anniversary of the National Art Center in Tokyo, the museum is opening a major retrospective of the South Korean artist Ufan on 10 August.
»Conversing in Clay: Ceramics from the LACMA Collection«
Clay is one of the oldest materials used by humans for artistic purposes. The exhibition Conversing in Clay: Ceramics from the LACMA Collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art presents a range of historical and contemporary works made from this diverse material from 7 August.
»Color is an illusion«
Whether using rollers, strings or paint sprayers, Tomislav Topić takes unusual approaches to creating color. The artist talks to Art.Salon about the influence of graffiti, wildflowers and about the often unpredictable creation processes of his works.
Louise Bourgeois: her long way to the top
In 1911 in Paris, a girl is born who would live to be almost 100 years old. In 2010, at the end of her life, she is where many want to be: at the top of the art world. Louise Bourgeois asserted herself, with spiders and phalli, performance and installations - and her »indomitable« nature.
Cy Twombly in exchange with antiquity
Classical mythology greatly inspired Abstract Expressionist Cy Twombly's work. From 2 August, the exhibition Cy Twombly: Making Past Present at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles explores Twombly's relationship to antiquity with sculptures, some on public display for the first time.
