Artnews : Rosemarie Trockel Offers Lessons for Staying Curious and Weird

Teenage Rosemarie Trockel sits in a room plastered with pictures of celebrities—as teenagers are wont to do. It is 1960s West Germany, and she’s in her older sister’s bedroom. Behind her, cutouts of Brigitte Bardot appear half a dozen times in a sea of attractive faces. This all makes up a black-and-white snapshot; the collage on the wall flattens the space such that Trockel’s own head comes close to blending into the crowd, though she is evidently more uncomfortable in front of the camera than the various starlets.

Artnet : How Chiharu Shiota Weaves a Web of Memory and History, Thread by Thread

A deftly woven net of red string envelopes viewers at Chiharu Shiota’s first New York museum show, at the Japan Society. The site-specific installation, which is studded with sheets of loose papers replicating excerpts from the diaries of Japanese soldiers from World War II, is one of two pieces the institution commissioned for “Chiharu Shiota: Two Home Countries.”

ARTFORUM : Rosemarie Trockel

Rosemarie Trockel’s outing this summer at Gladstone, “The Kiss,” one of two shows devoted to the artist in New York (the other at Sprüth Magers), “couches” itself quite literally in similar issues of virality, bemusement, broadcasting, and the tension between sex and politics—all perennial themes for the artist.

VOGUE Arabia : Exclusive: Shirin Neshat Reimagines Aida for a World at War

Neshat’s art transcends borders. It resonates emotionally and intellectually with viewers regardless of religion, gender or ethnicity.

The Week : William Kentridge: The Pull of Gravity – a 'bold' exhibition

Although focused on politics, colonialism and the unreliability of historical narrative, particularly in relation to his native country, Kentridge's art is never heavy-handed or sloganeering: instead, it approaches these weighty subjects in "unexpected, culturally curious ways". His distinctive "fluidity" and playfulness are present and correct at this new exhibition, which foregrounds his less-well-known work as a sculptor. Bringing together more than 40 sculptures and films created between 2007 and the present, it takes place both indoors and outside, with "bold, sculptural works", some monumental in scale, spread out across the "lush acres" of the Yorkshire Sculpture Park in a celebration of "form and scale".

The Japan Times : Artist Chiharu Shiota weaves a hidden marvel on Teshima

Teshima, Kagawa Pref. – Step off the ferry at Teshima’s Ieura port, 25 minutes from the nearest mainland city of Tamano, Okayama Prefecture, and life goes quiet. The odd car passes by; occasionally, a town bus. On the far side of the island, tucked away in a dilapidated house southeast of the port and southwest of the island’s titular art museum, Chiharu Shiota’s “Memory of Lines” waits for visitors.
