Collections in the Garden. Andrea Branzi, the Realm of the Living
Musée des impressionnismes, Giverny. 11.07 – 02.11.2025
Curated by Marie-Ange Brayer
In collaboration with the Centre Pompidou the museum is presenting a group of works by Italian designer and architect Andrea Branzi. Fascinated by the figure of Monet, Branzi saw in him a fellow architect who, through his garden, had constructed his own nature. Through a compelling ensemble of furniture, drawings, and models, the exhibition explores Branzi’s reflections on the future of humanity and our relationship with the living world. At its centre is Bamboo Interior Wood, a monumental installation made of painted bamboo, recently acquired by the Centre Pompidou in 2024.

Second part of the “Nachleben” trilogy in which the focus is on the most widespread painting trend outside painting that is, precisely, photography’s appropriation of its mannerisms. The selection of works in this exhibition feature pieces from the museum’s own collection, some owned by the museum and others from private collections and institutions.

Au bord des flots mouvants
Musée d’Art moderne de Collioure. 07.06 – 28.09.2025
The Musée de Collioure invited Claire Lindner to occupy the museum’s gallery space. Sensitive to the dialogue between her works and the space in which they are exhibited, the artist created a work inspired by the capitals of the Dominican cloister (kept in the museum garden). Claire Lindner’s stoneware forms are incandescent, in constant motion with opposing dynamics. The artist subtracts from the materiality of language a work that, unable to be said, imposes itself on us with the mysterious grace of an epiphany.

Alive & Unfolding
Perspective Festival of Ceramic Art Andenne, Le Delta, Namur. 17.05 – 17.08.2025
Curated by Vasi Hirdo
Alive & Unfolding is an exploration of contemporary ceramics, where each work emerges as an extension of the artist’s experience, telling a story that speaks of deeper emotional and existential dimensions. The exhibition presents a vibrant collection of sculptures that challenge the boundaries between the figurative and the abstract, inviting viewers into a poetic world where human, animal and cryptic forms come to life.

Israeli Art: The Swing of the Pendulum
Israel Museum, Jerusalem. 10.05.2025
Curated by Amitai Mendelsohn
Between war and its absence, existential fear reawakening past traumas and the normal routines of a healthy society, life in Israel recalls the swinging of a pendulum, moving between opposite poles. Contemplation of the Israeli artworks presented in the exhibition reveals three modes of observing reality: a clear, direct gaze, apparent in works that touch on social and political issues; an idealized gaze that paints reality in idyllic, consoling tones; and a gaze that looks deeper, beyond reality, abstracting forms and colors from it and at times touching on the sublime.

La fabrique du Temps
Musée de la Poste, Paris. 26.03. – 03.11.2025
By virtue of its history and its very activity, the Post Office is inextricably linked to the concept of time, and for centuries it has played a decisive role in measuring and managing time.
In the exhibition, treasures and curiosities are juxtaposed with contemporary works of art that explore the measurement of time, providing a lively and fresh interpretation of heritage objects. Through a stimulating setting, some fifty works of art in different formats – videos, photographs, installations, objects, sculptures – will question our perception of time, offering a poetic, philosophical and sometimes even humorous perspective on this theme.

Uncertain Domesticities
House of Arts, Brno. 08.04.2025 – 10.08.2025
Curated by Ina Bierstedt
The exhibition seeks to trace the many layers of the theme of home while exploring its shifts in meaning over the past decades. The exhibition focuses on the relationship between people and space, and life in different homes. It deals with the ownership or loss of one’s own home, inclusion and exclusion, belonging and survival. In the set of presented works, the artists reflect the complex question of the world’s future habitability.

Aufräumen
Kunstverein Peschkenhaus, Moers. 06.04. – 15.06.2025
The need to create space is a fundamental act of new beginnings. Reorganising creates the decision to position oneself in the world – be it by reorganising the context of life or living, the environment and surroundings, restructuring tasks or creating systems. A system can act as a memory aid, as a kind of map for thinking and acting. However, it is just as important to allow empty spaces – moments of disorder or chaos in which new things can emerge.

Super Conceptual Pop
Fondation CAB, Brussels. 01.04. – 31.10.2025
A cura di Marjolaine Lévy
The exhibition takes its cue from one of the titles of Stefan Brüggemann’s exhibition of the same name to promote a new, twisted chapter in the relationship between conceptual and pop aesthetics in contemporary creation. Through the works, this twist offers a new approach to conceptual art, which simultaneously celebrates a form of nihilism, reminiscent of Dada, and performs in the realm of entertainment and merchandising.

Gyeonggi Museum of Contemporary Ceramic Art, Gyeonggi. 06.09.2024 – 10.01.2027
The exhibition explores the origins of contemporary ceramics and its forms. Among the works on display is a work by Claire Lindner: inspired by a living organism, the work seems to emerge from an unknown world.

Ce que l’horizon promet
Fondation groupe EDF, Paris. 12.03 – 28.09.2025
Curated by Samantha Barroero, Nathalie Bazoche, Gérald Bronner and Erell Gueguan
In an ever-changing world, this exhibition questions our perception of the future and our ability to anticipate it. How do we project ourselves into a future that is, by definition, uncertain? What tools, what beliefs, what disciplines do we use to try to see things more clearly?
If the horizon is an imaginary line, a vanishing point in constant motion, it is also a promise: that of a possible future, an unknown to be deciphered.

The Cute and the Useful
MAMbo – Museo d’Arte Moderna, Bologna. 27 February, 6.30 p.m.
In the MAMbo Conference Room, there will be a screening of the mid-length film The Cute and the Useful by The Cool Couple (Niccolò Benetton and Simone Santilli), followed by a conversation of the two artists with Lorenzo Balbi, director of MAMbo. The meeting will be chaired by Arnold Braho and Marta Cereda.
The Cute and the Useful is an ironic yet powerful reflection on how the concept of utility moulds one’s perception of the natural world, turning the ‘wild’ into part of a new aesthetic and a consumer-oriented value system.

Preferably Avant-garde Art
RAVINEN Kulturhus, Båstad. 01.02 – 18.05.2025
Curated by Sune Nordgren
The exhibition is curated by Sune Nordgren, who made a selection from the donation made to the city of Malmö by Karin and Jules Schyl. The donation contained a large stock portfolio and a studio filled with art by Schyl. Everything was to be sold, and the funds were to be used to buy “original foreign art – preferably avant-garde”. As director of Malmö Konsthall in the 1990s, Sune Nordgren played a decisive role in ensuring that international contemporary art was shown in Skäne. He was also involved in the art purchases made by the representatives of the Schyls’ donation. The collection now belongs to Malmö Art Museum.

Material Imagination: Inflamed Nerve
Tel Aviv Museum of Art, Tel Aviv
Curated by Dalit Matatyahu
Inflamed Nerve, the third chapter of the Museum’s Israeli art collection exhibition Material Imagination, is launched in the midst of the deepest rift that Israeli society has ever seen. The social, ideological, and religious polarization pounds in the exhibition like the throbbing pulse of the artworks and their evolving interrelations. After three years of display, the exhibition, which features works created here over more than a century, has been supplemented by some 70 new works by leading artists, including a work by Nahum Tevet.

Thamesmead Codex
Tate Modern, London. Until 25.01.2026
Thamesmead Codex exhibited at the Tate Modern in London is a work by Bob and Roberta Smith that celebrates the voices and local community of Thamesmead, London. From 2019 to 2020, the artist spoke to a variety of local residents. He then transformed their conversations into the 24 painted signs, presenting these interviews in a modern version of a ‘codex’, an ancient term for a manuscript or book. The work documents the history and identity of Thamesmead and its communities, records memories of the past and hopes for a future. Alongside this recording of people’s thoughts and experiences, Smith includes vivid, futuristic landscape scenes, similar to the illustrated pages of a codex.

Supernova
Teatro Michetti, Pescara. 07.12.2024 – 08.02.2025
A cura di Massimiliano Scuderi e Elisabetta Trincherini
The exhibition is conceived on the basis of the relationship between the language of Radical Design and that of the Visual Arts in particular, in order to explore the relationship between the projects of architects and designers of the time and the languages of contemporary art. The Supernova is a bright star in the celestial vault whose expansion can determine the birth of other stars, just as radical design has determined the birth of new languages in contemporary art and architecture. Among the international artists invited is Franck Scurti.

Our House
Museum Giersch, Frankfurt am Main. 25.10.2024 – 16.02.2025
Nothing is as private and public at the same time as housing. Having your own four walls is a basic human need. In view of rising rents and a shortage of living space, the question of fair, sustainable and good housing is once again being debated with great urgency both politically and socially. How do we live? How precarious are some housing situations, and how can housing be conceived in the future? The works on display deal with the most diverse facets of living.

Grande Ville
Magasins Gènèraux, Pantin. 27.09. – 17.11.2024
Curated by Anna Labouze and Keimis Henni
Through the gaze of artists from around the world and across generations, Grande Ville seeks to delineate new utopias and coexistences in order to make urban spaces more inclusive, ecological and desirable, while reconsidering the ways in which we live with them on a daily basis. In his series Les Reflets, Franck Scurti takes a poetic and surreal look at illuminated shop signs. Distorted as if reflected in a pool of water, and sometimes disproportionately large, these signs become fantastic echoes of our urban reality.

Through fifty-nine works by twenty-three artists from the collection of Giuseppe Panza di Biumo, the exhibition explores one of the most mysterious and complex subjects in our lives.
The exhibition is divided into two narrative registers, eternal time and the time of reality, which guide the visitor through the five sections of the exhibition: sense (of time), duration (of time), places (of time), noise (of time) and experience (of time).

Winding and Unwinding
Fondazione Monte Verità, Ascona. 27.07. – 01.11.2024
In a reinterpretation of the futuristic research idea of Olga Fröbe-Kapteyn, artist, intellectual and founder of the Eranos Conferences, the artists move along the ridge of the relationship between art, philosophy, psychology and natural forms, which is reinterpreted by artificial intelligence. The comparison of a corpus of drawings by Fröbe-Kapteyn with a dataset of scientific images gives rise to the three works exhibited in the spaces of the Bauhaus hotel and a multimedia installation, housed in the Casa Selma air-light hut, stages a dialogue between entities arising from a study of the many personalities who have contributed to the corpus of writings of the Eranos Foundation.

Pansori, a soundscape of 21st Century
15th Gwangju Biennale 07.09. – 01.12.2024
Curated by Nicolas Bourriaud
The Gwangju Biennale brings together 73 artists from 30 countries. Pansori, a soundscape of 21st Century is an attempt to map the complexity of the contemporary world, conflicting borders, anti-migration walls, confinement, social distance, segregation policies.
Franck Scurti’s project Gwangju Recording is partly based on John Cage’s analogy between music and mushrooms and the recognition, as matter, of all that is discarded in the streets of cities: for the artist, waste contributes to the environmental noise of the city and becomes a basic element of his sculpture.

The exhibition showcases contemporary ceramics through the sculptural work of some thirty ceramic artists.
Structured in six parts, the exhibition reveals different universes linked to the aquatic world, transporting visitors from the sunny beach to the marine horizon, from the polar regions to the depths of the ocean. The ceramic sculptures evocatively represent the different sources of inspiration of water, conveying its fragility and delicacy as a precious ecosystem.
