More impor- tantly, the artist himself favored a formalist interpretation since the late 1930s, which has all but precluded historical approaches to his work except for a few notable exceptions.2 The critic Cesare Brandi, who inaugurated the formalist discourse on Morandi, wrote in 1939 that “nothing is less abstract, less uproot- ed from the world, less indifferent to pain, less deaf to joy than this painting, which apparently retreats to the margins of life and interests itself, withdrawn, in dusty kitchen cupboards.”3 In order to further remove Morandi from the 1.

  • Nalini Malani: Can You Hear Me? October 19, 2019 – January 2, 2020 Gallery MMB, Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan Mumbai
    Nalini Malani: Can You Hear Me? October 19, 2019 – January 2, 2020 Gallery MMB, Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan Mumbai Nalini Malani, Can You Hear Me? (2018), still On occasion of its 50th annual celebration the Goethe-Institut/ Max Mueller Bhavan Mumbai presents Can You Hear Me? a solo exhibition from the internationally celebrated Indian artist Nalini Malani. The upcoming exhibition, Can You Hear Me? is Malani’s first solo show in India in five years, and marks her return home to a hero’s welcome after she became the first Asian artist to win the prestigious Joan Miro prize in 2019. Can You Hear Me? contains more than fifty animations by Malani. The first animation, Dream Houses is from 1969, the year the Institut was established in Mumbai, and other works include the ongoing growing collection of animations called Notebooks from 2017/19. The solo expands on Malani’s history with the Institut – in 1993, Malani worked on a collaboration on German dramatist Heiner Mueller’s Medeamaterial (with Alaknanda Samarth), and later on Bertolt Brecht’s The Job in 1995. The title of the exhibition, Can You Hear Me? is taken from a 2018 animation about a minor girl who was raped but nobody heard her cry. This piteous cry, this voice of the dispossessed which is not being heard or is deliberately ignored, is presented in different registers of the ironical, and the absurd, with bright colours and quirky sounds tracks. Dream Houses is the very first film Malani made at the Vision Exchange Workshop in Bombay, which opened in 1969 (the year the Institut was established in Mumbai), just after she secured her diploma at the JJ School of Art.

And not only for its arrival, like clockwork, every 730 days (every other August) as the rolling index of curatorial (much more than material, social or spatial) instincts within the world of architecture. The biennale’s importance today lies in its vital dual presence as both register and infrastructure, recording the impulses that guide not only architec- ture but also the increasingly international audienc- es created by (and so often today, nearly subservient to) contemporary architectures of display. As the title of this elegant book suggests, ‘architecture on display’ is indeed the larger cultural condition serving as context for the popular success and 30- year evolution of this remarkable event. To look past its most prosaic features as an architectural gathering measured by crowd size and exhibitor prowess, the biennale has become something much more than merely a regularly scheduled (if at times unpredictably organised) survey of architectural experimentation: it is now the key global embodiment of the curatorial bias of not only contemporary culture but also architectural life, or at least of how we imagine, represent and display that life.

  • Monuments to Mundanity at the Socle Du Monde Biennale | Apollo
    REVIEWS Monuments to mundanity at the Socle du Monde Biennale Nausikaä El-Mecky 28 APRIL 2017 Socle du Monde (1961), Piero Manzoni. Photo: Ole Bagger. Courtesy of HEART SHARE TWITTER FACEBOOK LINKEDIN EMAIL I am in the middle of nowhere and absolutely terrified. All around me, long strips of white canvas stretch into the distance, suspended above the grass; the wind plays them like strings, making them howl and snap. They are precisely at the level of my neck, and their edges appear razor-sharp. Walking through Keisuke Matsuura’s brilliantly simple Resonance, with its multiple slacklines stretched across two small rises, is like going through a dangerous portal, or navigating a set of laser-beams. Keisuke Matsuura resonance Socle du Monde Biennale 2017 from Keisuke Matsuura on Vimeo. Matsuura’s work is part of the 7th Socle du Monde Biennale in Herning, Denmark. To get there, we drive through an industrial estate in the middle of grey flatlands. Steam billows from a chimney nearby, and a massive hardware store flanks the Biennale’s terrain, which consists of manicured green lawns dotted with several buildings, and intercut by a road or two. Rather than ruining the experience, the encroaching elements of daily life make for a compelling, unpretentious backdrop to the art on display. Matsuura’s work is typical of this Biennale, where things that appear simple, even mundane, suddenly swallow you up in an intense encounter. Even the main building, Denmark’s HEART museum, is a surprise. At first glance it appears to be an unobtrusive, white-walled specimen of Scandi minimalism, but when I happen to look up, I see a beautifully menacing ceiling whose folds and texture resemble parchment or flesh.
