VIENNA.- For the first time in its history, Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna is dedicating a major special exhibition to Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn (1606–1669). Never before has it been possible to admire such an abundance of major works by the master, one of the most important Dutch Baroque painters, in Austria. The exhibition takes a special approach in contrasting Rembrandt’s paintings with works by his brilliant pupil Samuel van Hoogstraten (1627–1678). Rembrandt’s workshop was the centre of a lively exchange on artistic challenges: Both Rembrandt and Van Hoogstraten saw themselves as exploratory artists who were always seeking out new ways to depict nature and optical phenomena with deceptive truth to life. Rembrandt’s illusionistic skills also fascinated Van Hoogstraten and would yield a lasting influence on his works. The exhibited works from different genres bear witness to the competition between the two artists, but also show innovative pictorial inventions w ... More

HAMBURG.- It seems that everything is out in the open in these paintings: we see complex abstractions of lines and patterned structures, strictly two-dimensionally composed pictorial structures beyond any kind of representational or perspectival illusionary space. Concrete painting and a resolute “What you see is what you see!”1, we might assume. In paintings by Christof John (*1984 in Hanover, lives and works in Cologne), mostly small-scale elements overlap and interpenetrate, ... More

Chinati to present first exhibition of Zoe Leonard's 'Al río / To the River' in the Americas MARFA, TX.- The Chinati Foundation/La Fundación Chinati announced its forthcoming exhibition of Zoe Leonard’s Al río / To the River. Opening during the foundation’s 37th annual Chinati Weekend, October 11-13, 2024, and on view through June 2025, the photographic work follows the course of the Rio Grande/Río Bravo where the river is used to define the boundary between the United States and Mexico. Leonard’s work contemplates the intricate cultural, social, political, ecological, and economic landscapes that comprise the 1,200 mile stretch of river from Ciudad Juárez and El Paso to the Gulf of Mexico and poses the question: what does it mean to ask a body of water to perform a political task? “The shifting nature of a river—which floods periodically, changes course, and carves new channels—is at odds with the political task it is asked ...

The revival of "Esperpento": A new lens on reality to open at the Museo Reina Sofia MADRID.- An exhibition at the heart of Madrid’s vibrant cultural scene seeks to explore the concept of esperpento, a revolutionary aesthetic developed by Ramón María del Valle-Inclán (1866-1936), as a way of understanding the complex and distorted realities of the early 20th century. This thought-provoking exhibition delves into the critical framework Valle-Inclán created to challenge the entrenched societal, political, and cultural norms of Spain, offering a fresh perspective on a nation plagued by moral and social despair. The concept of esperpento was more than just a literary tool—it was a scathing critique of the moral and cultural backwardness that Valle-Inclán saw engulfing Spain during his lifetime. Formulated in reaction to the country’s entrenched conservatism, esperpento embraced distortion and grotesque exaggeration ... More

Musée cantonal des Beaux-Arts de Lausanne presents 'Thalassa! Thalassa! Imagery of the Sea' LAUSANNE.- At the point where art history and the history of culture meet, Thalassa! Thalassa! Imagery of the Sea probes our relationship to the sea as that connection has taken shape in figurative art from the 19th century up to the present. In light of humans’ reworking and reordering of the shoreline, in keeping with the development of navigation and the advances made in geology and zoology, how we see the Ocean and its denizens both real and imaginary has indeed experienced an endless sea change. Many technical inventions have accompanied these developments and advances, including aquarium, diving bell, the old-style hard-hat diving suit, periscope, undersea vehicle, and on and on. All of these devices—to which we would have to add the microscope, photography, and film—have helped to redefine the visible ... More
Audain Art Museum opens 'Russna Kaur: Pierced into the air, the temper and secrets crept in with a cry!' WHISTLER, BC.- Russna Kaur is showcasing her site-specific work in the Audain Art Museum’s Upper Galleries entitled Pierced into the air, the temper and secrets crept in with a cry. Kaur approaches painting as a space of infinite possibility, play, and experimentation. This exhibition unfolds in the space as a dynamic series of modular works, where smaller paintings evolve into large-scale compositions, constantly growing, shrinking, and shifting. The artist complicates the surfaces of her work by incorporating a diverse array of materials, including canvas, wood panel, textiles, acrylic paint, spray paint, oil pastels, handmade paper, and 3D printed elements. A distinctive feature of this exhibition is the adaptive nature of the artworks to their surroundings. The pieces extend beyond traditional boundaries, breaking through frames ... More
