Art and gender

"Première rétrospective de cette ampleur qui lui est consacrée en France depuis 40 ans, l’exposition dévoile une centaine de photographies, de ses premières expérimentations aux compositions historiques, littéraires ou allégoriques figuratives, en passant par une impressionnante galerie de portraits de ses contemporains."

Jeu de Paume, Paris, jusqu'au 28 janvier 2024

"“Meredith Monk. Calling” is the most comprehensive survey to date of the celebrated American artist, presenting works from across the last six decades. Monk (b. 1942, New York City) seamlessly works across disciplines — pushing the boundaries of music, theatre, dance, video, and installation — while at the core, continuously exploring the evocative power and dimensionality of the human voice. She is considered a groundbreaking figure in site-specific performance, while her interdisciplinary approach has had a significant influence on subsequent generations of artists and performers."

To mark her 80th birthday, the ZKM | Karlsruhe is presenting a major exhibition on the work of media artist Ulrike Rosenbach. Ulrike Rosenbach was one of the first artists in Germany to use the medium of video — as early as the beginning of the 1970s. In her works, she addresses questions of female identity, gender-specific role attributions, and the holistic relationship between humans and nature.

Yvonne Rainer: Words, Dances, Films explores the relationship between Yvonne Rainer's (San Francisco, 1934) choreographic, filmic, and theoretical production through a historical reconstruction of her transition from dance to cinema. Internationally known for revolutionizing the world of dance in the 1960s by promoting a minimalist approach inspired by the body's natural kinetic movement and everyday gestures, Rainer began her career as a director in 1972, the year her first film, Lives of Performers, was released.

A travers l’exposition « Baya, icône de la peinture algérienne. Femmes en leur Jardin », le musée de l'IMA et le Fonds Claude et France Lemand rendent hommage à l’artiste algérienne la plus singulière du XXe siècle, propulsée dès l’âge de 16 ans au sommet de la notoriété. Une invitation à (re)découvrir le bestiaire énigmatique de ses céramiques, et surtout ses peintures joyeuses et colorées montrant une nature luxuriante, comme une ode à la vie.

"The Awards Ceremony and inauguration will be held on Saturday 20 April 2024 at Ca’ Giustinian, the headquarters of La Biennale di Venezia."

"Cette exposition s’inspire d’une conception singulière de l’écoute que la compositrice expérimentale états-unienne Pauline Oliveros (1932-2016) désigne par le terme de Deep Listening ; une « écoute profonde » qui, selon elle, « suppose d’aller sous la surface de ce qui est entendu. » Au cœur de cette pratique, il y a une conscience aiguë du fait qu’il y a toujours plus à entendre dans les replis de l’environnement acoustique. L’expérience du Deep Listening ouvre à de nouvelles formes de sensorialités et représente un engagement à ne jamais cesser de développer ses capacités d’écoute à travers des partitions qui, plutôt que de guider l’interprétation de la musique, proposent des stratégies attentionnelles, des manières d’écouter soi-même, les autres et l’environnement."

"For four decades, Dayanita Singh (b. 1961, New Delhi) has developed a body of work distinguished by her genre-defying approach of photography, one that pushes the limits of the medium and the boundaries of how we experience images. Dancing with my Camera, the most important exhibition dedicated to the artist to date, spans the entirety of her oeuvre, from her first photographic project devoted to the musical universe of the percussionist Zakir Hussain (b. 1951, Bombay) up until her most recent works, including Let’s See (2021), inspired by the format of contact sheets. A testament to the formal inventiveness that characterises Singh’s work, the exhibition also highlights the artist’s singular perspective on themes such as the archive, music, dance, architecture, disappearance, gender and friendship."

Mudam Luxembourg, until 10 sep 2023
