Rabbya Naseer awarded The Belvedere Art Award 2024 VIENNA.- The biennial award for contemporary art, endowed with 20,000 euros, was presented for the second time on Monday, May 13, 2024, by Vendome Projects and Belvedere. The selection of Rabbya Naseer was based on her impressive artistic quality and her special methodology. Rabbya Naseer's work opens up an intimate space that she creates together with her audience and that addresses the economy of time. In her process-based practice, she questions the modes and models of representation and visibility in the contemporary art system as well as in society at large. Rabbya Naseer addresses invisibility as a way of exploring temporary structures, subversive moments and spaces of freedom. She reflects on immediate contexts and situations, often as a dialog partner, a storyteller, setting up situations that generate and leave traces ... More
Peggy Guggenheim Collection presents the largest retrospective ever organized in Italy dedicated to Jean Cocteau VENICE.-The Peggy Guggenheim Collection presents Jean Cocteau: The Juggler’s Revenge, the largest retrospective ever organized in Italy dedicated to Jean Cocteau (1889–1963), the enfant terrible of the French twentieth-century art scene.

Studio Gallery Tel Aviv 'Batia Shani: I speak Gibberish to You' TEL AVIV.- The exhibition "I speak Gibberish to You" by artist Batia Shani was supposed to open at Studio Gallery Tel Aviv in October 2023. Shani worked on it for over a year, the selected works have already arrived at the studio framed and placed, ready to be hung in the exhibition space. Then came October 7th, and the war, and all that was before fell silent. According to the artist, whose focus in the current exhibition deals with language, she feels that words have been cut off and disconnected from her, as if they can no longer express feelings and thoughts. Other signs express what the words no longer succeed in, and create a kind of gibberish language alternative to the familiar language. With no accompanying words, Shani immersed herself in Sisyphean embroidery work that was like murmurs of a strengthening and soul-saving prayer. ... More

Rothschild Fine Art set to open 'Osnat Ben Dov: Nur' TEL AVIV.- Osnat Ben Dov's photography exhibition is dedicated to her mother Nur,نور (light in Hebrew), following her death last year. The loss experienced by the artist is reflected in everyday objects from the mother's estate. Useless household objects that hold childhood memories are placed on a table. Behind them stands an empty wall that serves as a changing background, allowing for simultaneous absence and containment. "I started listening to my mother's stuff while she was still alive," says the artist. "My mother, who in her old age became demented, gave objects the meanings of a magic fairy, in a world view that we would call childish, she brought them to life." Ben Dov photographs are seemingly clean and simple compositions, in natural light and long exposure. An object, a plant, some insect are placed in the center of the frame. ... More

A new lens on Auschwitz in 'Here There Are Blueberries' NEW YORK, NY.- You do not expect a camera to be the first thing you see in a play about the Holocaust. Yet, even before “Here There Are Blueberries” begins, a spotlight illuminates a Leica on a pedestal. A period advertisement projected behind it promotes it as “the camera of modern times.” That’s apt for a dramatized documentary that looks at its subject from an unusual angle: the discovery of photographs taken at Auschwitz and the archivists who brought them to light. “Blueberries,” which opened Monday at New York Theater Workshop in a co-production with Tectonic Theater Project, focuses on the so-called Höcker album, which the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum acquired from an anonymous donor in 2007. Uniquely, none of the album’s 116 photographs depict victims of the Nazis — only the Nazis themselves, going about the banal ... More
