Rob Pruitt began The Obama Paintings as a means of recording, and through recording, honoring, Barack Obama’s historic presidency. Beginning with the inauguration on January 20, 2009, each morning Pruitt created a two-foot-by-two-foot painting of President Obama, with particular imagery drawn from news of the day. The work was completed on January 20, 2017, Obama’s last day in office, and is comprised of 2,922 individual paintings.
Now on view at Stony Island Arts Bank in Chicago.

“It’s Not What You Think” transforms Il Salotto into a different setting: an abandoned, underground boiler room with tubes crisscrossing the space. The artist duo continues their practice of altering art spaces by turning the white cube gallery room into a location that contrasts the discreet format in which contemporary art is normally presented. Industrial metal tubes of various sizes dominate the space, re-directing visitors’ movements as they must step over, bend under, or walk around the tubes in order to navigate the site.

John M Armleder has created a unique indoor and outdoor experience. He has developed new, expansive installations specially for the SCHIRN, combining highbrow culture and the everyday world, the profound and the banal all in an ambivalent way. He blends chance and planning, and in many cases exhibition visitors are actively included in the artistic process.

Since the mid-1960s, Olivier Mosset has been one of the most radical representatives of a contemporary manner of painting that undermines the ideal of artistic originality by means of objectivity and seriality. Taking the question of what painting is and how it works as a starting point, he has produced a multifaceted oeuvre of monochromes and abstract geometric works that reject any mystifying attribution of meaning, as exemplified by the pieces now presented at Museum Haus Konstruktiv.

To mark the fiftieth anniversary of lifting the ban on visual pornography in Denmark in 1969, ARoS and Kunsthal Charlottenborg in Copenhagen have joined forces to show the group exhibition Art & Porn. The exhibition highlights how art was influenced by changing the law on pornography. What are the implications when the boundaries of what citizens may be faced with in public spaces change from one day to the next?

Expanded is a research and investigation project based on art, created in the context of the First Stone Programme, which is promoted by Assimagra and curated by experimentadesign. The artworks presented explore, in one way or another, our perception of space, scale, time and place, as well as the possibility of expanding our self-imposed or culturally-based borders. Produced in stone, a natural resource that is millions of years old, they share a unifying element that provides them with a deep, timeless and resilient character, contradicting the chaos and superficiality of the contemporary world.

Many of us know the public face of Pierre Keller – this exhibition turns the spotlight for the first time on the private man, in a presentation of works assembled over the last fifty years. It reveals an individual of eclectic interests, from music, architecture and design, through to wine and wine- making. This is a story of experience shared and passed on, of enduring works created and lasting friendships forged, from Jean Tinguely to Keith Haring via John M Armleder.

Today – over half a century later – artists are once again seizing on minimalistic principles including reuse, organisation and reduction. On the eve of a new era, these artists offer us tools for structuring our lives around the concept of less. This exhibition demonstrates how artists are returning to the essence of things: a new start and a clean slate.

Over the past four decades, Matt Mullican has created a body of work encompassing drawing, collage, painting, photography, video, sculpture, and installation as well as performance under hypnosis. Trying nothing less than to “organize the world” and make sense of his existence, Mullican invented a personal cosmology tin which colors indicate different orders or “worlds.”
His de Young installation comprises fifty works that represent the visual system with which Mullican attempts to categorize the world around him.
