    MARLENE DUMAS: AGAINST THE WALL

    Museu Serralves, Porto, Portugal
    2 July - 10 October 2010

    The works in this exhibition have evolved primarily from media imagery and newspaper clippings documenting Israel and Palestine. However, Dumas’ representations acknowledge universal themes of instability, isolation, and the lack of communication, while moreover addressing the medium of painting and referencing the artist’s struggle with the boundaries of her chosen medium.

  • MASSIMO BARTOLINI: MAXXI: DIALOGUES WITH THE CITY

    MASSIMO BARTOLINI: MAXXI: DIALOGUES WITH THE CITY

    MAXXI, Rome, Italy
    12 February - 30 March 2008

    MAXXI, the National Museum of 21st Century Art, has been designed by Anglo-Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid and is the first museum in Italy dedicated to contemporary art and architecture. In the first in a series of events and projects prior to the museum’s opening in Spring 2009 Massimo Bartolini has created a light installation for the building’s façade. The opened was marked by groups of lamps rumbling, falling and hanging from the building revealing in the remaining lights the words, Anche oggi niente (Nothing today too).

    Bartolini’s work always has strong links with its location. His work transforms our way of thinking, stimulating our imagination and making us see our surroundings in a completely new way. Here he articulates the museum space within the city of Rome itself.
