THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND
MADISON SQUARE PARK CONSERVANCY, NEW YORK, USA
From February 20th to April 13st 2014 New York—Madison Square Park Conservancy’s Mad. Sq. Art announces a new sculptural installation for late winter 2014: This Land Is Your Land by Brooklyn-based Chilean artist Iván Navarro. The site-specific installation will present three water towers inside of which neon reflections repeat infinitely. The sculptures merge a staple of the New York skyline with the street-level landscape of the Park. The artist takes the exhibition’s title from the beloved 1940 Woody Guthrie folk song, which is both an American anthem and a vocal pull to the freedoms offered in this country for an immigrant population. The towers will be elevated to a height above visitors’ heads, allowing them to walk underneath and look up into each sculpture to view the content within. The exhibition will be on view daily from February 20 – April 13, 2014 in Madison Square Park. (…)

FRIENDS, LOVERS AND OTHER CONSTELLATIONS
ALBERTINA, VIENNA, AUSTRIA
From February 13th to May 18 2014 The American painter, graphic artist and sculptor Eric Fischl (* 1948 in New York) is one of the most important representatives of contemporary figuration. His work is characterised by a style linked with American realism. The compositions, which capture scenes like snapshots, convey the impression of a film clip. The just completed or immediately imminent action is thus often only implied. (…)

JAN FABRE. TRIBUTE TO BELGIAN CONGO (2010-2013)
PINCHUKARTCENTRE, KIEV, UKRAINE
From February 8th to April 27th 2014
In 1979 Jan Fabre started his artistic practice by erecting a tent-laboratory, called de Neus (the Nose), in the garden of his parents. Mesmerized by the insects’ capacity for metamorphosis, he subjected them to intensive artistic research and experiments. Insects continued to (re-)appear in Fabre’s early drawings, performances and sculptures. Especially beetles, with their unique sense of survival, remained a source of inspiration for the artist, and in his oeuvre they have come to represent a way of dealing with mortality, beauty and suffering – three essential themes, which define Fabre’s complex practice as an artist, theatre maker and writer.

FùTBOL: THE BEAUTIFUL GAME(GROUP SHOW)
LACMA, LOS ANGELES, USA
From February 2nd to July 27th 2014 Fútbol: The Beautiful Game examines the subject of football—nicknamed by one sports commentator The Beautiful Game—and its interactions with societies around the world. As a subject, football touches on issues of nationalism and identity, globalism and mass spectacle, as well as the common human experience shared by spectators from many cultures. Celebrating the sport on the eve of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, the exhibition includes approximately thirty artists from around the world, working in video, photography, painting and sculpture. Two room-sized video installations—Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait, by the artists Philippe Parreno and Douglas Gordon, and Volta by Stephen Dean—anchor the exhibition. Other works by artists including Miguel Calderon (whose 2004 video Mexico v. Brasil represents a 17-0 victory for Mexico), Robin Rhode, Kehinde Wiley, and Andy Warhol provide a sense of the miraculous possibilities of the sport as universal conversation piece. (…)

FESTIVAL SAINT-ETIENNE NOUVEAU SIèCLE – THE NEW-YORK MOMENT
Musée d'Art Moderne, Saint-Etienne, France
From January 18 to May 18 2014 Dans la salle centrale du Musée, Joel SHAPIRO déploie deux sculptures monumentales en acier. Les morceaux de métal s’articulent entre eux pour donner à cette forme apparemment abstraite les contours d’une figure ou d’un objet sur le point de se mouvoir dans l’espace. Ce sculpteur américain (né en 1941), largement reconnu aux États-Unis et présent dans les collections des plus grands musées américains, il est connu pour ses oeuvres aux formes simplifiées et géométriques. Celles-ci contiennent pourtant toute la force du mouvement et expriment une grande vitalité notamment grâce à la couleur. Il appartient à la génération d’artistes qui a refusé la rigueur de l’art minimal en recherchant notamment des liens avec les activités humaines. (…)

CHIHARU SHIOTA
The New Art Gallery, Walsall, UK
From January 17th to March 30st 2014 Chiharu Shiota frequently uses found objects within her sculptural installations, particularly those that resonate with personal and emotional histories. Doors and windows from demolished and derelict buildings, clothing, shoes, old furniture and vintage suitcases are frequent motifs within her work. Such objects evoke powerful and emotive human stories of journeys, of migration, of love and loss. (…)
Jonathan Meese
MALERMEESE – MEESERMALER
Museum der Moderne, Salzburg
From November 16th 2013 to March 09th 2014 The exhibition in the MdM Mönchsberg aims to provide, for the first time, a survey of the most extensive complex of his œuvre: painting. This was not Meese’s first medium, but came second to drawing, long before he turned to installation and the stage. His first oil paintings date from 1993/4 – the period immediately preceding his academic training. After an interval of several years, during which he devoted himself exclusively to performance and installation, he returned to painting with increased attention. From then on, he transferred his fundamental idea of the stage as a counter-world, and the element of staging, on to large-scale historical paintings. The expressive power of the original, unmistakable painterly language he developed over twenty years has attained a unique status in the contemporary art world.(…)

Du 16 octobre 2013 au 16 février 2014 Commissaire: Germano Celant The exhibition is a voyage into the memory of this Flemish artist through drawings, photographs, study models – which Fabre refers to as “thinking models” – and filmic documentations of his performances, from the second half of the 1970s to the present. Visitors are greeted by a labyrinth of tables introducing the artist’s philosophies. This tool serves to understand his ideas, his memories, his art, profoundly inspired by the traditions of Flemish painting and focused on the study and use of the body.(…)

MASCULIN / MASCULIN. L’HOMME NU DANS L’ART DE 1800 à NOS JOURS.(GROUP SHOW)
Musée d'Orsay, Paris, France
From Tuesday 24th September to Thursday 2nd January 2014 Alors que le nu féminin s’expose aussi régulièrement que naturellement, le corps masculin n’a pas eu la même faveur. Qu’aucune exposition ne se soit donné pour objet de remettre en perspective la représentation de l’homme nu sur une longue période de l’histoire avant le Leopold Museum de Vienne à l’automne 2012 est plus que significatif. Pourtant, la nudité masculine était pendant longtemps au fondement de la formation académique du XVIIe au XIXe siècles et constitue une ligne de force de la création en Occident. (…)
