MIlano – L’influenza delle code di pesce sulla rottura delle onde
September 28~2010
On October 7, British artist Aoife Collins (b. 1980) will be opening the exhibition series L’influenza delle code di pesce sulla rottura delle onde (“The Influence of Fish Tails on the Breaking Waves”), curated by Irina Zucca Alessandrelli and titled after a quote from Jules Verne’s book The Green Ray. The novel tells the story of a scientist, a poet and a young woman who decide to track down the rare natural phenomenon of the green ray, which appears in very unusual weather conditions. In the book, the poet’s emotional vision of the phenomenon prevails over the scientist’s arid, physical explanation, winning the girl’s heart. The title of the exhibition recalls this emphatic gaze, pointing to the importance of concepts such as wonder and resonance, which in contemporary art express an artist’s capacity to move the viewer.
Petra Lindholm at Galleria Franco Soffiantino, Torino
September 28~2010
In her second solo exhibition at Galleria Franco Soffiantino, Petra Lindholm combines for the first time video, photography and pottery, even if her work continues to be prevalently focused on the use of video. The Finnish artist’s films do not have a structured storyline. They are tales based on the subtle nuances of the colours and the emotions portrayed, presenting extremely intimate and sophisticated dimensions that are able to conjure up atmospheres of tension. The enchanting images of her works are then complemented by the soundtrack: a combination of environmental sounds and noises that are enriched by the music and lyrics composed and performed by the artist herself.
Bulgaria – Dwelling in Travel
September 24~2010
The exhibition ‘Dwelling in Travel’ aims to explore issues relating to what has been termed ‘fluid citizenship’ and ‘new mobility’ in contemporary global society, most specifically in the extended European territory.
The exhibition takes place in the context of the 16th Week of Contemporary Art organised by the Art Today Association in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Located in the middle of the ethnically, culturally and linguistically diverse Balkan region, with borders that have continuously shifted throughout history; the area now called Bulgaria has experienced a myriad of peoples and cultures crossing, staying or passing through its territory.

New York – Alex Olson at Lisa Cooley
September 23~2010
“As a Verb, As a Noun, In Peach and Silver”, Alex Olson’s exhibition at Lisa Cooley, presents paintings that are swapping tales of texture and text, mark making as both material and as sign, exteriors and ideographs, supports and surfaces. They have seen paint added one day, only to be subtracted the next. They have been layered and layered and layered and then impasted over once more. In their final iteration, these paintings are as much a result of the paint on top of them as the architecture of paint beneath.
Milano – MAGICO MENDINI
September 23~2010
Alessandro Mendini, architect, designer, artist and theorist, since the mid-1970s has developed research that involves reinterpretation of the traditional hierarchies of art, trespassing into different historical-artistic spheres. His action of the readymade in art crosses boundaries, generating a process of fragmentation of the work, no longer seen as a unique piece, but as the sum of infinite fragments and varied origins.
Milano – Federico Maddalozzo at MARS
September 22~2010
In a space in Pasteur area, twenty young Italian artists met and started MARS, an artist run space with a schedule rich of performances, exhibitions and art events close to the most widespread self-managed realities in Europe.
In this context, ‘If you considered time as much as space’, the project recently exhibited by Federico Maddalozzo, presents nine front pages of the New York Times, completely covered with black paint. At the same time, four spray cans interact with two sculptural bases, experiencing a pressure which causes the continuous depletion of the paint until its exhaustion.
The objects converse with each other, speaking the spatial language of the capabilities of the place where they are located. The public is asked to consider time as much as space, instead of merely dwelling on the first interpretation offered to them.

Milano – Los vigilantes de la playa at Galleria Nicoletta Rusconi
September 21~2010
“Los vigilantes de la playa” opened last Friday at Galleria Nicoletta Rusconi in Milan. Although the exhibition title calls to mind a sun-bathed beach, this could turn out to be an inhospitable desert. David Renggli, Franz Schmidt and Kelly Tippsman meet at the end of a summer of love and passion and started to work exhibition focusing on paradox and its ambivalence.

London – Steve Bishop at Galleria Vela
September 15~2010
Has something just starting? Or has something just finished? Somewhere in a place betwixt and between, somewhere between the worn and the raw, the new and the old, the bought and the found, Steve Bishop’s seven new sculptural compositions at Gallery Vela, London develop from and find inspiration in the material place.
Torpedo’s New Home
September 15~2010
The best bookstore in Norway had been between homes for some time… but the stunning, very Scandinavian new space was well worth the wait.
It’s opening this weekend – check these pics from Torpedo’s website www.torpedobok.no
Pedro Barateiro at Kunsthalle Lissabon, Lisboa
September 14~2010
Pedro Barateiro’s work explores concepts such as narrativity, fiction, ideology and archive and their central role as social technologies for the production of space. At Kunsthalle Lissabon, the Portuguese artist will present his most recent project, Today our eyes are closed. The film, whose title is also the title of the exhibition (opening on September 17), uses footage gathered in two different locations – the São Paulo University’s Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism and the garden of the National Museum of Theatre in Lisbon – and investigates the essentially subjective and social nature of these spaces.
