Magic and Rituals

04.11.2018–10.02.2019: Museum Villa Rot, Burgrieden-Rot, DE

Our times are characterised by pragmatism, rationality and economy. Often, especially in epochs of this kind, people’s desire for magic and magic, for unfathomable powers, is awakened. As alternative models to strictly scientific facts, incomprehensible phenomena are also of great interest to artists. The exhibition demonstrates how artists deal with miraculous phenomena and the human desire for magic.

Why Listen to Plants?

22.11–08.12.2018: Group exhibition, Liquid Architecture, RMIT, Melbourne, AU

Plants know worlds, they contain worlds and they make worlds. Plants exist within plurality; they are part of, and themselves contain many worlds. The cultivation of vegetal consciousness begins with a deepening of awareness of the actions and agency of non-human others.

Seeing without a Seer

20.09–30.09.2018: Group exhibition, Radical Reversibility, Amsterdam, NL

Seeing without a Seer is set up as a cooperative, imaginative and speculative exercise to grasp what is at stake in the act of seeing. What is ‘seeing’ and where is it located when we take non-human agencies into account? Can we, for instance, imagine how plants or stones ‘see’ their surroundings? In which ways could ‘machine vision’ influence our worldview?

Casco Art Institute: Working for the Commons

26.05–16.07.2017: Casco, Utrecht, NL

After more than twenty-five years as Casco, Casco Projects, and finally Casco – Office for Art, Design and Theory, we are changing our name to Casco Art Institute: Working for the Commons. The title heralds our new modus operandi, presented initially in the form of an exhibition that opens on 26 May 2017. With this change we aim to act on our political-aesthetical intentions and face their urgencies with “working for the commons” as the guiding imperative for all Casco operations.

Why Not Ask Again?

11.11.2016–12.03.2017: 11th Shanghai Bienniale, Power Station of Art, CN

The phrase “Why Not Ask Again” is a bid, and a query, whose ascending, joyously twisting arc embraces the maneuvers, disputations and stories that contain and encode the turbulences and transports of our time. A listener eavesdropping on deep space walks out of the pages of the recent sci-fi novel, The Three Body Problem by Liu Cixin. A wanderer steps out into the deep time of eternity and the straight path of a police bullet in the terminal sequence of the picaresque Bengali film Jukti, Takko aar Gappo from 1974 by Ritwik Ghatak. They embody the spirit of a mobile triangulation between reason, intuition and the fabulous that the Biennale seeks to discover, transmit, and learn from. Chief curators – Raqs Media Collective.

Facts & Fiction

19.05–13.09.2015: The Lenbachhaus, Munich, DE

What does an analysis of these images reveal, and what can we offer in reply to them? With: Allora & Calzadilla, Yael Bartana, Christoph Draeger, Guy Ben-Ner, Marjolijn Dijkman, Omer Fast, Jonathan Horowitz, Ho Tzu Nyen, Gabriel S. Moses, Oliver Ressler.
