  David Zink Yi

  Fetched: 29-February-2012, 8:01am CET

  Curated by Kathrin Becker  The exhibition of David Zink Yi (born 1973 in Lima/Peru) at the Neuer Berliner Kunstverein is premiering the video installation Horror Vacui (2009) in Berlin, as well as a new photographs from the series Twilight Images. The pictures, gelatin silver prints on baryta paper, show a public park in Havana at night. The site the artist chose is significant with regard to his field research; different themes and areas of interest in Zink Yi's work intersect in the portrait of Havana: the utopian visions of social revolutionaries, the stark reality of socialism, the cults and rites of the Afro-Cuban population.

  Irmavep Lab and Maurice Blaussyld

  Fetched: 29-February-2012, 8:01am CET

  Irmavep Lab, a collective of artists and curators, began its activity in 2003 with a series of events in Chatillon-sur-Marne in the house of Musidora, actress in Louis Feuillade's Vampire film. In a second phase, the group became Irmavep Club and continued its action as an artist-run space without a fixed space. Following the two first exhibitions in Paris (Art Concept gallery, Schleicher & Lange gallery) and one in Amsterdam (Motive Gallery), it is now at Rochechouart that the collective is deploying its programme.

  Lines of Thought

  Fetched: 29-February-2012, 8:01am CET

  This exhibition explores the work, selected from the 1960s to today, of fifteen contemporary artists who either use line in creative and challenging ways or in whose finished work line has become a prominent element. The simple act of extending a point, predominantly by drawing with pen or pencil on paper, has paradoxically made line one of the most powerful forms of artistic expression in the history of mankind, yet over time it has taken on different meanings and uses relative to the era of its creation.

  Fetched: 28-February-2012, 8:01am CET

  The Science Museum premieres HEXEN 2.0, a major new exhibition by artist Suzanne Treister, as part of its contemporary arts programme.  HEXEN 2.0 looks into histories of scientific research behind government programmes of mass control, investigating parallel histories of countercultural and grass roots movements. The exhibition charts, within a framework of post Second-World-War US governmental and military imperatives, the coming together of the physical and social sciences through the development of cybernetics, the history of the internet, the rise of Web 2.

  George Condo. Mental States

  Fetched: 28-February-2012, 8:01am CET

  Ironic, provocative, witty?since his beginnings in New York's East Village in the early 1980s American artist George Condo has produced a distinctive body of work. His paintings, characterized by mordant humor, surrealist-tinged absurdity, and exuberant pathos, make repeated reference to the traditions of American and European art history of the last 500 years, from Velázquez by way of Picasso to Gorky. In partnership with the Hayward Gallery in London and curated by Hayward Director Ralph Rugoff, the Schirn is pleased to present a comprehensive retrospective of Condo's art. Condo works in a style that can be described as artificial realism, and both his paintings and sculptures display his ongoing examination of human physiognomy and all-too-human mental states.

  Ay-O

  Fetched: 28-February-2012, 8:01am CET

  Ay-O: Over the Rainbow Once More  Discover the vibrant world of Ay-O through this retrospective of his work, covering his entire career, from his early works to the present day. Born in Ibaraki Prefecture in 1931, Ay-O, together with Masuo Ikeda and others, was active in the Demokrato Artists Association during the fifties, attracting notice for his brightly-colored oil paintings. In 1958 he moved to New York, where he used tangible objects to try to create dialogues with the world that can be perceived through the senses, resulting in his 'finger boxes', in which a finger is inserted into a hole in the side of a box to feel the material hidden inside, installation works that incorporate their surrounding environment, etc.

  Cindy Sherman

  Fetched: 28-February-2012, 8:01am CET

  The Museum of Modern Art, New York, presents the exhibition Cindy Sherman, a retrospective tracing the groundbreaking artist's career from the mid-1970s to the present. The exhibition brings together some 170 key photographs from the artist's significant series?including the complete "Untitled Film Stills" (1977?80), centerfolds (1981), and the celebrated history portraits (1988?90)?plus examples from all of her most important bodies of work, ranging from her fashion photography of the early 1980s to the breakthrough sex pictures of 1992 to her 2003?04 clowns and monumental 2008 society portraits. In addition, the exhibition features the American premiere of her 2010 photographic mural, presented outside the entrance to the galleries on the Museum's sixth floor. Masquerading as a myriad of characters in front of her own camera, Sherman creates invented personas and tableaus that examine the construction of identity, the nature of representation, and the artifice of photography.
