“The point about why libraries matter is that you are completely alone in the library—you are irreducibly there, by yourself—but you are surrounded by voices. It’s a plural existence.” —Edmund de Waal Visit Edmund de Waal’s “library of exile" at the Japanisches Palais in Dresden, Germany! De Waal has constructed a small library that houses two thousand books written by exiled authors from Ovid’s time to the present day. The external walls of the library are inscribed with a new text piece listing the lost and erased libraries of the world. Inside, embedded in the bookshelves, is a quartet of de Waal’s large-scale vitrines, containing porcelain vessels and page-like brackets of steel. This exhibition has traveled from the Ateneo Veneto in Venice.

Katharina Grosse has curated Vogue Germany's 2020 January issue, along with Annika Reich, Monika Rinck and 36 other women—of different origins, backgrounds, and ages. For three days, the 39 women met in Berlin to rethink their visions, thoughts and relationships and to show how powerful solidarity and the courage to experiment are. The group found images depicting forms of community, in which all those present belong to it and in which none are alike but everybody is equal.

#UrsFischer: Gagosian is pleased to celebrate the release of "Urs Fischer: Sculptures 2013–2018." For the occasion, a special presentation of the book featuring a selection of recent sculptures, works from Fischer's "Bandaids" series, and other important publications made by the artist, is on view at Gagosian, Geneva, through December 14. Published by Kiito-San, "Sculptures 2013–2018" presents six years of Fischer’s material explorations in a substantial volume. It features more than one hundred works as well as documentation of forty exhibitions and installations both public and private. Arranged chronologically, the book allows the reader to follow his developments in form and his frequent adventure into whimsy. Fischer’s instinct for design is evident not only in individual works but also in his clarity of vision for a space. Encountering the immense and the minuscule, the ever-changing and the static, the viewer must reconcile with his or her own presence in time. Find out more via the link in our bio!

The fourth part of the project, “Acquisition/Körperschaft," is currently on view. This piece, adapted specially for Museum Folkwang, is at once performative and participatory. Three mediators welcome the audience and offer short choreographed actions by Forsythe. A site-specific work, “Aviariation,” is also presented in one of the museum’s courtyards.

Also on view is a group of pencil-on-paper drawings by the artist. Arrestingly simple in line and color, these pared-down compositions vaguely bear Sweeney’s likeness, but they ultimately divulge his greater intent to create conceptual, ambiguously gendered portraits infused with a surreal sense of humor.

“Even more important than what Paik made, though, is how he thought, spoke and wrote about art and technology. Decades before Snapchat and Instagram, Paik became the first major artist to foresee how mass media would give way to multidirectional communication.” —Jason Farago, The New York Times The New York Times recently reviewed Nam June Paik’s major exhibition, currently on view at Tate Modern in London. The show brings together more than two hundred works from throughout Paik’s five-decade career—from robots made from old TV screens, to his innovative video works, and all-encompassing room-size installations.

#GrosseTrouve: Visit Gagosian, Basel, to see an exhibition of recent works by Katharina Grosse and Tatiana Trouvé before it closes this Saturday! This is the second time that Grosse and Trouvé have exhibited together, although in this show their works are displayed side by side in unprecedented direct relation.

#JohnCurrin: An exhibition of new portraits by John Currin is now open at Gagosian, Hong Kong! Conflating inspirative sources of high and low culture, from old masters to soft-porn pinups, Currin channels his prodigious painterly skills into idealized yet perverse images that both charm and challenge. In these new portraits, the artist returns to his most beloved subject: women. These latest paintings demonstrate some persistent themes in Currin’s oeuvre, as well as a deep exploration of the genre of female portraiture. This is his first solo exhibition in Hong Kong.
