Yasumasa Morimura appointed as Artistic Director of Yokohama Trienniale 2014
Yokohama, Japan
August - November 2014
The Organizing Committee for Yokohama in Japan announced the appointment of artist Yasumasa Morimura as artistic director of Yokohama Triennale 2014, which will be its fifth edition, to open in early August 2014.
On his appointment as artistic director, Morimura states that he finds his convictions in the “conscience of art.” While acknowledging that “the journey is likely to be quite risky with me as the captain,” because he has no previous experience directing an international exhibition, he also sees this as an advantage, because he “can recapture the fading spirit of adventure” and “lead to some worthwhile proposals,” among the mushrooming number of biennales and triennales.

Zarina Hasmi in Structure and Clarity
at Tate Modern, London
through July
Structure and Clarity
The central room in the wing is devoted to the abstract or ‘constructive’ art of the inter-war years. The surrounding displays show the impact of abstraction on a variety of media such as film and photography, as well as looking at the minimalist art of the 1960s, whose crisp, unadorned aesthetic echoed but also departed from the work of the 1920s and 1930s.

Ragnar Kjartansson's The Visitors
at Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary in Vienna
March 8 - June 16, 2013
Ragnar Kjartansson’s elegiac video composition The Visitors (2012) is a hymn to the feminine and its melancholic triumph, an incantation of friendship to the melody of romantic despair. The bohemian gathering of a group of friends and musicians in the grandiose and decaying twilight zone of Rokeby farm in Upstate New York becomes the scenery for what the artist calls a “feminine nihilistic gospel song”: a layered portrait of the artist’s friends and an exploration of musical cinema taking its title from ABBA’s last album, marked by divorce and defeat.

Antoni, Clark, & Ligon in NYC 1993
at New Museum, New York
February 13 - May 26, 2013
“NYC 1993: Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star” looks at art made and exhibited in New York over the course of one year, providing a synchronic panorama in which established artists and emerging figures of the time are presented alongside the work of authors whose influence has since faded from the discussion. Centering on the year 1993, the exhibition is conceived as a time capsule, an experiment in collective memory that attempts to capture a specific moment at the intersection of art, pop culture, and politics.
