Six Samples of Catastrophe

14.12.2024–02.02.2025: Art Pavilion Zagreb & Out of Sight – Displacement, Zagreb, HR

Six Samples of Catastrophe examines the representational, aesthetic, and tactile qualities of materials as visible imprints of invisible or less visible human interventions into the life of matter and nature. They manifest in a range from political hegemonies to ecological disasters, and speak of extractivist policies and (neo)colonialism.

Artists: Hannes Boeck, Marjolijn Dijkman, Jassem Hindi & Sina Seifee, Davor Konjikusic, Ana Torfs

Liquid Properties

01.12.2024–01.03.2025: LINK, Zwolle, NL

The sculptural installation ‘Liquid Properties’ will be part of ‘Expo #5: 1-4′ at LINK, a group exhibition with Krystel Geerts, Nikki Vroom, Marjolijn Dijkman & Toril Johannessen, and Rutger de Vries.

‘Liquid Properties’ consists of hand-blown glass objects in a variety of shapes, reminiscing of lab equipment, glassware, buoys, ecospheres, and water lenses. Each of the spheres has one or more lenses integrated into the glass body, slightly magnifying the organisms, particles, and pollutants inside. Studied up close, each glass sphere is an isolated ecosystem. As a total installation, they might remind of models within a taxonomic structure or even globes within a planetary system.

Critical Shifts

03.10–28.11.2024: Barin Han Centre, Istanbul, TR

Everything shifts. Everything is being shifted. Alongside larger geosocial and geopolitical translocations of peoples and matter come daily shifts that remain unnoticed, yet often become agents of critical transformation, openness and new beginnings. By exploring these smaller movements of matter, form and meaning, Critical Shifts offers two techniques of following subtle alternations, impalpable variations, and illusive temporalities of constant change – extraction and  bias.

The exhibition showcases works of contemporary artists who embrace shifts – whether through material, metaphorical or invisible form– as a method of their diverse practices and consider extraction and bias as internal to any knowledge production. We navigate if by shifts.

Curated by Margarita Osepyan, Maria Korolkova and Kate Umnova.

The Atlantic Ocean

26.04–15.09.2024: Henie Onstad Kunstsenter, Oslo, NO

The Atlantic Ocean is a large-scale celebration of the northern sea that has shaped Norway and made the country an international actor, but also critically examines human practices on and in the sea. The exhibition includes around 140 works and objects ranging from original maps from the 16th century to contemporary works. By examining themes such as mapping and extraction, work and leisure at sea, ecology, and gender perspectives, the exhibition conveys the importance of the sea for humans across time and space.

Curators: Susanne Østby Sæther, Stefanie Hessler and Knut Ljøgodt.

Collapse is not a Destination

06.07–24.08.2024: Frontview at HAUNT, Berlin, DE

The exhibition conceptualizes our planet in the Anthropocene as an endangered garden with finite resources, in which our activities have a profound impact on our basis of existence. On display are works from the fields of sculpture, photography and installation. Using found materials, they offer a long-term time dimension and point to the dilemma of the capitalist growth paradigm: that the long-term effects of our short-term profitable actions are not adequately taken into account.

With: Julian Charrière, Marjolijn Dijkman, Raphaël Fischer-Dieskau, Andreas Greiner, Robert Gschwantner, Spiros Hadjidjanos, Almut Linde, Ulrike Mohr, Mazenett Quiroga, Marike Schuurman, Raul Walch.

Design Sediments

31.01–31.03.2024: Huidenclub, Rotterdam, NL

Design Sediments gathers together fourteen artists and designers who explore the contemporary dimensions of sedimentation and larger-than-human time scales. Through extensive explorations of objects and material as interrelated components of earth’s landscapes, the show positions cycles of extraction, production and destruction in relation to ecological and geological conditions. Through this careful and attentive arrangement of works and bodies of material research, Design Sediments projects on to sedimentary pasts and futures – polychronic realities – through the possibility of a weaving entanglement of temporalities within objects.

With; Emma Charles; Caroline Corbasson; Marjolijn Dijkman; Marlène Huissoud; Agata Ingarden; Studio Klarenbeek & Dros; Agnieszka Kurant; MBL Architects; Ori Orisun; Naïmé Perrette; Marcin Rusak; Basse Stittgen; Studio ThusThat.

By investigating the brackish water, its inhabitants, its properties, and the traces left by human activities, the film is a reflection upon the relationship we humans have with our surroundings, especially through what we cannot see. The music for the film is a composition for electronics, cello and voice, created by Henry Vega.
