Out of Storage

Heads up folks.

Here’s your heads up to catch a stunning exhibition of contemporary art from the collection of the FRAC Nord-Pas de Calais, including works from Arte Povera, Minimal Art, Conceptual Art, New Realism, Pop Art, Fluxus, and yours truly.

A must see, if I do say myself.

Out of Storage
FRAC Nord-Pas-de-Calais & Marres
Timmerfabriek, Maastricht
June 26 – December 18
Opening Saturday, June 25th.

The exhibition consists of hundreds of artworks from the collection of FRAC Nord-Pas de Calais. Some of them are on display during the whole exhibition period, some works of art are being replaced by others in the course of time.

Out of Storage offers a glimpse of the dynamics within a collecting art institute and reveals functions that usually take place behind closed doors.

The visitor can take several routes through the exhibition, allowing him to share the view of diverse experts in order to gain insight into the various functions of FRAC Nord-Pas de Calais, such as restoration, education, research and presentation.

Material Apparatus

Material Apparatus
Cheekwood Museum of Art, Nashville
March 19 – September 18

Material Apparatus features videos from artists that use the medium in unexpected ways. These works go beyond using video to document a performance or to create a linear narrative. Video, in this case, is an actual element of the work, used as a tool to help create structural environments.

These artists approach this subject in different ways; humor, balance studies, sewing, drug addiction, and the use of BB guns. Artists include Maria Pithara, Jacob Tonski, William Lamson, Jill Wissmiller, Otto Berchem and Amelia Winger-Bearskin.
