June 9th to Sept. 9th, Ariamna Contino & Alex Hernández exhibition at W Glass Project Space, Hsinchu

The Conceptual artist, Ariamna Contino & Alex Hernández represented Cuba in Venice Biennial uses their excellent paper-cutting technique and white paper to reflects issues regarding to environment, war, and drugs. Although the works look purely white, they suggest the strong social engagement of the artist. In creating a hypothetical dialogue between the artist and Mother Nature, artists seem to bridge the highly conceptual politics of the creative process with the ethical considerations of our exceedingly literal environment. They give a voice to the once silent earth, questioning the morality of draining its reservoir of resources in the artist's quest to enlighten society and enrich its culture. From June. 9th to Sept. 9th, Nunu Fine Art collaborates with W Glass Project Space to bring the series of works by Contino and Hernandez to Hsinchu.

Kees Goudzwaard at Club Solo

In this clip, Kees Goudzwaard’s works presented at Club Solo and his creating process are revealed.

“The power of Goudzwaard's work lies not in what he paints, but precisely in what he leaves out. It is about what takes place between the lines, in the white of the page.” Art historian Linda Köke mentioned this in her review “Poetic Emptiness.” Goudzwaard collages simple, unsightly fragments to compose. By replacing papers with oil paints, Goudzwaard captures the temporariness lying between the blank in his paints.

Petah Coyne’s “Untitled #1243 (The Secret Life of Words)” is currently on view in "APMA, CHAPTER THREE", Amorepacific Museum of Art, Seoul, Republic of Korea.

APMA-- a museum run by Korea’s cosmetics giant Amorepacific Group -- has unveiled its collection of contemporary and antique art through three exhibitions since its opening in 2018. While "APMA, CHAPTER ONE and THREE" focus on contemporary, “CHAPTER TWO” showcases artworks spanning from paintings, folding screens, ceramics, ornaments to clothing from the prehistoric era to the modern times.

Petah’s “Untitled #1243 (The Secret Life of Words)”(2007) takes its name from the award-winning 2005 movie about a war-ravaged, deaf female Bosnian refugee and a blind man. Directed by Spanish director Isabel Coixet, the film alludes to the lost cause, thwarted lives, and the healing between souls. The “Untitled #1243", with a sagging net catching the frosty, divine, drooping blossoms, seems to capture the similar vulnerability and allow one to pay tributes to those dear friendships and support that ever happened in one’s life.

"If you can't defeat the nature, why not join them?"— Rona Pondick

New York artist Rona Pondick's sculptures “Head in Tree” is now exhibiting in the "Nasher Mixtape" group show, in Nasher Sculpture Center, USA.

In late 90s', Rona started to make mold from her own head and combine it with stylized animal and tree bodies that she hand modeled. These hybrid animal/human forms go back to Neolithic times and appear through every period in art history and all kinds of myths.

"Head in Tree" was the first tree/human piece where Rona's head was life-size. The master of materials talked to, Catherine Craft the Nasher Sculpture Center Curator, about this work and said: "In my tree human pieces, the matte and rough surfaces of the bark make a contrast with my smooth, shiny head. Playing on the concept of narcissism, the mirrored surfaces draw viewers into looking at themselves. I like the way these contrasting, contradictory surfaces come together and make metaphoric meanings."

Statens Museum for Kunst, SMK, has launched outdoor exhibition “Berørt | Touched” from March 11th. SMK, Red Cross, Coop Denmark, and Hjaltelin Stahl─part of Accenture Interactive, invite three Danish artists, including Kaspar Bonnén, to create 3 outdoor installations, reminding us this difficult year we’ve all been through. 

“I THOUGHT WE SHOULD BUILD SOMETHING UP TOGETHER, BUT I KEPT ON DIGGING.” By building  this sentence

out of bricks outside the museum to deliberate the unsettled society during pandemic, and the reflection of humans to our environment.    

“It is in this context as a complex statement about how you act in an intimate social context, but also in a broader sense how we as humans try to build up things, that also tends to collapse...” ——Kaspar Bonnén

Birgir Snæbjörn Birgisson, the curator of “Raw Power”, mentioned Erró’s works alongside his fellow artists in the exhibition, their practice, attitudes, and solid presence are just as Jeanettte Winterson’s words about poetry – a finding place, not a hiding place, and truly and duly have the raw power required.

Toru Kuwakubo Solo at Chigasaki City Museum of Art, Kanagawa

Toru Kuwakubo solo at Chigasaki City Museum of Art.

Toru Kuwakubo's Solo Exhibition is currently taking place at Chigasaki City Museum of Art. As he carefully depicts the famous artworks in art history and ruminates over the art masters’ thoughts and emotions, we see, in the reconstruction of space-time, a superimposition of the west and the east and reflection of art market, self-identity and art positioning. We are very excited to see Toru Kuwakubo's new works, where he once again interleaved art history and time with his contemplation.
