See Petah Coyne's Untitled #959 (1999-2000) in Spain at The Bilbao Fine Arts Museum's new exhibition Womanology which highlights works from the private collection of José Ramón Prieto.

In this exhibition, the curators have chosen works by women artists— of which there are many in Prieto's collection. Womanology showcases 43 works from 35 different artists working in a variety of media and touches upon various art historical movements and various female perspectives. Untitled #959 is a pristine white plaster sculpture, with plaster being a media Coyne worked most heavily with in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Petah Coyne’s “Untitled #1243 (The Secret Life of Words)” is currently on view in "APMA, CHAPTER THREE", Amorepacific Museum of Art, Seoul, Republic of Korea.

APMA-- a museum run by Korea’s cosmetics giant Amorepacific Group -- has unveiled its collection of contemporary and antique art through three exhibitions since its opening in 2018. While "APMA, CHAPTER ONE and THREE" focus on contemporary, “CHAPTER TWO” showcases artworks spanning from paintings, folding screens, ceramics, ornaments to clothing from the prehistoric era to the modern times.

Petah’s “Untitled #1243 (The Secret Life of Words)”(2007) takes its name from the award-winning 2005 movie about a war-ravaged, deaf female Bosnian refugee and a blind man. Directed by Spanish director Isabel Coixet, the film alludes to the lost cause, thwarted lives, and the healing between souls. The “Untitled #1243", with a sagging net catching the frosty, divine, drooping blossoms, seems to capture the similar vulnerability and allow one to pay tributes to those dear friendships and support that ever happened in one’s life.

Statens Museum for Kunst, SMK, has launched outdoor exhibition “Berørt | Touched” from March 11th. SMK, Red Cross, Coop Denmark, and Hjaltelin Stahl─part of Accenture Interactive, invite three Danish artists, including Kaspar Bonnén, to create 3 outdoor installations, reminding us this difficult year we’ve all been through. 

“I THOUGHT WE SHOULD BUILD SOMETHING UP TOGETHER, BUT I KEPT ON DIGGING.” By building  this sentence

out of bricks outside the museum to deliberate the unsettled society during pandemic, and the reflection of humans to our environment.    

“It is in this context as a complex statement about how you act in an intimate social context, but also in a broader sense how we as humans try to build up things, that also tends to collapse...” ——Kaspar Bonnén

“Raw Power” presents Icelandic pop art master Erró and 15 selected Icelandic contemporary artists’ works, Thordis Adalsteinsdottir also participated to pay tribute to Erró and unveil Erró influence on Icelandic art. Both Erró and Thordis were extensively recognized in foreign countries; the master had lived in France and Spain, and Thordis has established her artistic career in New York. Thordis mentioned there’s a lot of New York in her painting. Yet, people in Chelsea talked about how there's Icelandic elements in the works .

Where and how Erró’s and Thordis Adalsteinsdottir’s works intersect? Birgir Snæbjörn Birgisson, the curator of “Raw Power”, mentioned Erró’s works alongside his fellow artists in the exhibition, their practice, attitudes, and solid presence are just as Jeanettte Winterson’s words about poetry – a finding place, not a hiding place, and truly and duly have the raw power required.

Toru Kuwakubo solo at Chigasaki City Museum of Art.

Toru Kuwakubo's Solo Exhibition is currently taking place at Chigasaki City Museum of Art. As he carefully depicts the famous artworks in art history and ruminates over the art masters’ thoughts and emotions, we see, in the reconstruction of space-time, a superimposition of the west and the east and reflection of art market, self-identity and art positioning. We are very excited to see Toru Kuwakubo's new works, where he once again interleaved art history and time with his contemplation.

Nunu Fine Art cooperated with Leopold-Hoesch-Museum in Düren, Germany to produce our represented artist Peter Zimmermann’s latest catalog “Abtractness”.  In this catalog, we can see Peter Zimmermann started his art career by expressing how the images open up the access to the world but also limit our perception with his epoxy resin paintings of Michelin and Polyglott travel guides. Discovering on how the images form our relationship to art and how new representational possibilities shape our imagination, we may also get a glimpse on his reflection on the development of digital media and the associated multiplication in the early 1990s.

In order to create more opportunities for people getting the access to appreciate Peter Zimmermann’s works and to know the concept behind them, it is a delight for Nunu Fine Art to support Leopold-Hoesch-Museum producing this publication, which brings together Zimmermann ‘s early works and a selection of current productions.

The Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum is one of the largest academic art museums in South Florida, providing the community with free access to world-class art that spans cultures and time periods. The Frost Art Museum’s permanent collection includes over 6,000 objects with a strong representation of American printmaking from the 1960s and 1970s, photography, pre-Columbian objects dating from 200-500 AD, and a growing number of works by contemporary artists, especially from Latin American and Caribbean countries.

This is the 15th annual Breakfast in the Park, an official Art Basel Miami Beach event. Each year since 2004, the Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum has welcomed guests to enjoy a complimentary breakfast, a lecture by a noted sculptor, and guided tours of our Sculpture Park and exhibitions. Contemporary sculptor and photographer Petah Coyne will be the featured speaker this year. Known for her elaborately detailed assemblages that hang from ceilings and erupt from the floor, Coyne uses molten wax, silk flowers, sumptuous fabric, and pristine taxidermy to create works that evoke gothic narratives and the excess of the Rococo.

Coyne’s work can be found in numerous permanent museum collections, including MoMA, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, and many more. She is also the recipient of numerous prestigious national awards, including The Rockefeller Foundation Award, three National Endowment for the Arts Awards, and The Pollock-Krasner Foundation Award, among others.

Peter Zimmermann Solo Exhibition at Galerie Stadt Sindelfingen, Germany

/

Peter Zimmermann's latest work series is currently presented at Galerie Stadt Sindelfingen, Germany. As one of the representative contemporary artists, he often combines complex image algorithms with media such as epoxy, acrylic and oil paint. In fact, the abstract works are actually created with digital patterns, and then he emulates the patterns with hundreds of brushstrokes layer by layer. Zimmemann is also constantly trying new media. In addition to his highly recognizable epoxy paintings, this solo exhibition presents his animated piece of video art that illustrates the production process of all his works undergo. Besides, there is also a long frieze that looks like a 3-D wall object made from stickers running though the entire exhibition. The grand retrospective occupies a total of eleven gallery spaces, showing a variety of media and together constructs an overall creative conception.

Since its inception in 2014, the Power of Art’s Emerging Curators Project has now grown to be the contemporary art museum’s annual academic undertaking, whose mission is to explore present-day meanings of art exhibition as well as new possibilities of curation. On the display of one of the winning curatorial plans “A Tree Fell in the Forest, and No One’s There,” Hong Kong artist Ting Ting Cheng presented her artworks, which the themes focus on personal observations and memorial reimaginations. Curated by André Chan and Jing CY Chong, the exhibition title originates from an ancient philosophical conundrum – is the observed reality confined to people’s sum of available perceptions but not the totality of the material noumenon? Artists produce their artworks in the process reiterate the way they understand the world. The resulting works thus are the product of the linkage between personal cognition and reality, demonstrating the artists’ system of thinking and expression.

Supported by the Canada Council for the Arts, Montreal Museum of Fine Art (MMFA) has launched their new project “Collections, Connexions et Reconnexions” as an open call for contemporary creations along with exhibitions presenting seven commissioned works to the public. Among the seven artists commissioned by MMFA, Ari Bayuaji was recognized for being an artistic representative of culture diversity, and will display his commissioned work as a solo show simultaneously held with the event. Seven works brought by these artists will take inspirations from the collections of the MMFA, and be dedicated to the cultures of the world. The exhibition will be opened on September 6, 2018 and will stay in the exhibition space until the 'New World Pavilion' is ready in summer 2019.
 
Being one of the seven, Ari Bayuaji is invited to present his installation work “Silence” in the solo show. The amazing work composed of 1400 pieces of wood, coated inacrylic paint of different colors and suspended from the ceiling, was commissioned firstly by The Esplanade Theatre by The Bay Singapore in 2014 for the International Sacred Music Festival. This installation work has recently been collected by the MMFA, and will be displayed during the “Collections, Connexions et Reconnexions” show with the old artefacts as part of the museum permanent collection.

Lin Tianmioa’s solo exhibition at Rockbund Art Museum

From June 26 to August 26, 2018, Rockbund Art Museum (RAM) will proudly host “Systems”, Chinese contemporary artist Lin Tianmioa’s first solo exhibition in Shanghai city. The show is curated by Alexandra Munroe, the Samsung Senior Curator, Asian Art and Senior Advisor, Global Arts, at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York.

In the early 1990s, as one of the first female Chinese artists tackling installation and video production, Lin Tianmiao continually tried out various creative media. Through materials redolent of the traces and symbolism of feminine life, such as needles, cotton, threads, silk and fabric—materials which she worked over—the artist wrapped everyday objects and enveloped them, thereby also displaying her care for and reflections about everyday life and traditional handicrafts. With such exceptional imagination and perspective, she formed a distinctive, sensitive, and exquisite personal style. 

Taken inspiration from the human body, “Systems” examines, exposes and reimagines the workings of the self in relation to shifting social and technological realities.The exhibition consists of four key concepts: “individual consciousness”, “collective consciousness”, “public consciousness”, and “ultimate consciousness”. With each concept corresponding to a floor in the museum, going from the second floor of the museum all the way to the sixth floor will embark visitors on a psychological and sensorial journey of “consciousness”. Works shown cover representative installation works from her twenty years’ of creative practice, together with several large-scale, interactive installations which the artist has created since 2017 but has never shown to the public. Manuscripts of archival significance will also be exhibited at the same time.
