The exhibition sheds light on the redacted history of French nuclear colonialism in the Algerian Sahara and draws attention to the urgency of reckoning with this history and its lived environmental and sociopolitical impacts. It was produced by Framer Framed, Amsterdam, in collaboration with If I Can’t Dance, I Don’t Want To Be Part Of Your Revolution, Amsterdam. Between 1960 and 1966, the French colonial regime detonated four atmospheric atomic bombs, thirteen underground nuclear bombs and conducted other nuclear experiments in the Algerian Sahara, whose natural resources were being extracted ..read more

Miriam Laura Leonardi “Road to All Stars” at All Stars, Lausanne

Dear Miriam, In being tasked to pen some thoughts on your filmic triptych, from my particular position on the “inside” of the films, my thoughts have been focused on what’s fixed in plain view; namely, against the framed sites, the desert, the postal office, and the jungle road, is always a singular action that unfolds, per the circular spin of the Xerox-musical chairs, the to-and-fro of the postal walk, and the forward drive of the motorcycle, which then allows a particular form of thought to solve from the process. Without delving too deeply into what those thoughts are, per whatever meaning ..read more

Peggy Franck and Alessandra Spranzi “Atto Primo: Milano” Arcade at CFAlive, Milan
Mousse | Contemporary Art Magazine
by Mousse Magazine
2d ago
This exhibition started to exist as an idea several years ago, and then was the subject of many zoom calls, when the zoom calls were a pretty new way but also the only one available to actually meet people. I imagine Alessandra Spranzi and Peggy Franck looking at each other through the screen of the computer, each in their own studio, one in Milan, the other in Amsterdam, busily discussing something that at that stage was nothing more than the desire of a show. Outside the cites were calm, and still, and empty. Time flew at a very different speed and made space for musing over possibilities. S ..read more

Francesco De Prezzo “Placeholders” at Marathon Gallery, New York
Mousse | Contemporary Art Magazine
by Mousse Magazine
1w ago
Francesco De Prezzo’s work explores experiential concepts in artistic production, characterized by an approach that subverts the artwork, ranging from its destruction to cancellation or replacement. This theme is also evident in the current exhibition, where the artist experiments with the use of an artificial intelligence model, a customized version of GPT-4 from OpenAi. This model has been trained to recognize, purchase, and ship to the gallery items available on Amazon that are aesthetically based on the artist’s portfolio, providing visual continuity with their previous body of work. The i ..read more

The groundbreaking exhibition “The Harlem Renaissance and Transatlantic Modernism” explores the comprehensive and far-reaching ways in which Black artists portrayed everyday modern life. Through some 160 works of painting, sculpture, photography, film, and ephemera, explore the new Black cities that took shape in the 1920s–40s in New York City’s Harlem and nationwide in the early decades of the Great Migration, when millions of African Americans began to move away from the segregated rural South. The first art museum survey of the subject in New York City since 1987, the exhibit ..read more

Christelle Oyiri “AN EYE FOR AN ‘I’” at MUSEUM MMK FÜR MODERNE KUNST, Frankfurt

They can’t be seen, but they have to see everything. They never stay fixed in one place. Without being noticed, they continually change their position and their vantage point. Despite the constant background noise, they pick up every sound. They are all eyes and ears. They know everyone—their habits, their movements. But no one sees them. They receive little payment but bear a huge responsibility. The choufs (chouf, meaning “see” or “look” in Arabic) stay at their posts, always on the alert. These discreet figures warn drug dealers immediately while remaining untraceable themselves. In our pre ..read more

Sung Tieu “Civic Floor” at Oakville Galleries at Centennial Square
Mousse | Contemporary Art Magazine
by Mousse Magazine
1w ago
Berlin-based artist Sung Tieu produces works of sculpture, drawing, text, video, and sound. Her work is often heavily based on research into methods of military and government control, imprisonment, exclusion, and surveillance. In recent artwork, Tieu has distorted a Wagnerian opera as an “orchestra” of office sounds (Zugzwang, 2020); she has reconstructed the acoustic attacks alleged to have caused Havana syndrome, capturing her own exposure to the sound via brain scans (In Cold Print, 2020); and she has drawn on the audio recordings used by US military psychological operations, which were de ..read more

“Some May Work as Symbols: Art Made in Brazil, 1950s–70s” at Raven Row, London
Mousse | Contemporary Art Magazine
by Mousse Magazine
1w ago
A rich diversity of artistic approaches existed in Brazil in the decades around the mid-twentieth century, after the first modernist wave had settled. This exhibition finds conversations between various forms of abstraction, symbolism and figuration that were circulating and interacting in the visual culture of that time. The abstract geometries produced by the concretists and neo-concretists in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro—Judith Lauand, Lygia Clark, Hélio Oiticica and Lygia Pape amongst them—are now internationally celebrated. The Afro-Brazilian s ..read more

Bringing together artwork, archival material and architectural research from across the Global South, “Guest Relations” examines the historical, political, social and cultural transformations accompanying processes of intense touristification. The exhibition emerges out of, and responds to, the context of Dubai—one of the fastest-growing tourism destinations in the world. Part of a broader strategy to ensure continued prosperity beyond fossil fuels, the city’s model for urban development—driven by significant state and private investment in the hospitality industry—has been widely emulated. “G ..read more

Pierre Huyghe “Liminal” at Punta della Dogana, Venice
Mousse | Contemporary Art Magazine
by Mousse Magazine
1w ago
“Liminal,” an exhibition created by Pierre Huyghe in close collaboration with curator Anne Stenne, presents major new creations alongside works from the last ten years, particularly from the Pinault Collection. Pierre Huyghe has since long questioned the relation between the human and the non-human, and conceives his works as speculative fictions from which emerge other modalities of world. Fictions, to him, are “vehicles for accessing the possible or the impossible—what could be or could not be.” Pierre Huyghe transforms Punta della Dogana into a dynamic, sensitive milieu perpetually evolvin ..read more
