10 Exhibitions Opening This Week

The fifth edition of the once-a-decade Münster Sculpture Projects, taking place in the north German town of Münster from June 10 to October 1, has released its participating artists list.

For the 2017 edition of The Armory Show, the fair invited curator Jarrett Gregory to reinvent its Focus section.

Like the weather in early March, in New York, Armory Week is at once thrilling, blustery, exhausting, and it just might make you go numb. There is so much happening, that it’s easy to feel that there’s no way to get a handle on it. By our estimates there are over 650,000 square feet of art fairs alone—that’s like six and a half Manhattan city blocks worth of art—and that doesn’t count the museums, gallery openings or art auctions that you’ve got to make it to. To help you prioritize your to-do list, we have run down some of the essentials of the New York art scene’s spring awakening.

For the exhibition Discordant Harmony, which opens on July 22 at the Taipei National University of the Arts Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts, curators Sungjung Kim of Korea, Chien-Hung Huang of Taiwan, Carol Yinghua Lu of China, and Yukie Kamiya of Japan have been invited on behalf of the Goethe Institut to elaborate on concepts previously discussed and jointly proposed in Seoul that will focus on a reexamination and understanding of Asia today through artistic endeavors.

The first few months of 2016 are busy for the art market calendar in Asia, with key contemporary art fairs in Singapore and New Delhi in January, foll

In this video, Deutsche Bank “Artist of the Year” Koki Tanaka discusses his solo exhibition “Vulnerable Narrator,” at the Deutsche Bank Kunsthalle, and describes the philosophy behind his participatory performance works and his dual role as instigator and observer. The exhibition and catalogue are built of overlapping layers, he explains, as a way of inviting new connections and interpretations from the works he has produced over the last decade.

A multi-colored umbrella slides open. A ladder, kicked, collapses to the ground. Two wire hangers, hooked by the crook, are stretched out of shape. A fluffy white pillow sitting atop a metal table is displaced by an identical fluffy white pillow. A rolled-up, bright green plastic mat is allowed to slowly unfurl. A white dinner plate is furtively flung into a bush. Six rolls of toilet paper are systematically stacked on a balcony railing. A blue doormat is matter-of-factly dropped over a sewer grate. In the video installation Everything is Everything (2006) by Koki Tanaka, seemingly random objects are subjected to seemingly random actions.

In many ways, the exhibition catalogs of the two biennales that opened in Korea last month served as a telling encapsulation of their respective places in the contemporary art world. The 7th Gwangju Biennale, held under the artistic direction of Okwui Enwezor, the New York-based curator, put together a thinly condensed guide covering its programs and artists’ descriptions in 110 pages of gloss-coated prints...

Two exciting exhibitions are slated to open in Europe next week, “CAUTION! THINGS MAY APPEAR DIFFERENT THAN THEY ARE” at Nuremberg’s AufAEG, and “Acting out of Nothingness” at the Daiwa Foundation Japan House in London.
