Museum für Gestaltung Zürich || Exhibition: Underground ~ The Spectacle of the Invisible || until 28.09.2014

Last chance to see the “invisible”. The exhibition “Underground ~ The Spectacle of the Invisible” at the Museum für Gestaltung in Zürich is ending today. #StoMouseio

#StoMouseio

It is impossible to imagine what our life would be like without all the underground train stations, shopping centers and cinemas, without the tunnels and water reservoirs. The world under the ground is immensely ramified and moves between possibility, idea and necessity. Additional space is made underground, also to keep things that are worth protecting, that are secret, or even dangerous. This applies to bank vaults, government bunkers or final disposal sites but also to the “underground” movement, which takes over cellars of all kinds. Other people spend entire days underground because they work or find shelter there. Using photographs, models or films the exhibition shows significant national and international buildings and presents the underground as a habitat that in the future will probably shape our everyday life to a far greater extent.

Artipelag Stockholm || Exhibition: No Man Is an Island ~ Artistic forays into the Stockholm archipelago || until 28.09.2014

Last chance to visit the exhibition “No Man Is an Island ~ Artistic forays into the Stockholm archipelago” at the Artipelag Stockholm.

#StoMouseio

The Stockholm archipelago has been the subject of many poems, songs and paintings. Today, however, the ideas of the archipelago increasingly appear as nostalgic tourist clichés, including the rather dubious artistic genre of “archipelago art”. The exhibition No Man Is an Island enlists visual art from the end of 19th century until today, in an attempt to elaborate on the image of the archipelago with the point of departure in concepts such as class, gender and identity.

The exhibition includes a number of artistic forays into various eras with the aim of reflecting the changes that have taken place in regard to the idea of the archipelago.

The industrialisation of Swedish society at the end of 19th century set off a migration from the countryside to the urban areas. This prompted a development of public transport, railways and steamship traffic, which was a prerequisite for a mobile lifestyle. Perhaps even…

Norwegian Museum of Cultural History (Norsk Folkemuseum) ||Man and Nature in Norway|| until September 2014

#StoMouseio

A photo exhibition by the Italian photographer Luca Berti.
From June to September 2014. Opening June 26th.

Church at Mo.

With his photos, Luca Berti aims to show the beauty of the Norwegian landscape and to preserve memories of what is remaining of the Norwegian rural culture. The project is a photographic diary of a travel taking place in different regions of Norway. The focus will be on landscape, houses, old churches, schools, farms, roads, harbors. But most of all the gaze is on the people, their everyday lives, worries and thoughts. The aim of the project is to create a portrait of a less known and more authentic Norway, to document the still existing harmony in the relation of Man and Nature.

Road at Sannesgrend, Romnes.

On his travels in Norway, Luca Berti uses a simple, classic bicycle and public transport. He wishes to document people’s relation to nature, with a method reminiscent of the photographic documentation from late 19th century…

Museum of Contemporary Art Andros || Exhibition: Sofia Vari || until 28.09.2014

If you are still enjoying Greek summer in Andros, today is your last chance to visit the sculpture exhibition “Sofia Vari” at the Museum of Contemporary Art Andros. #StoMouseio

#StoMouseio

Sophia Vari, an internationally renowned Greek artist with a multicultural art education began her career as a figurative painter, eventually turning to sculpture in the mid-80s where she would excel. Vari remained independent throughout her career, never following any particular school of thought or practice, or joining any art movements, steering clear of established beliefs, and engaging in a bold and passionate quest for models she might be inspired from to create her very personal universe of forms.    

Apart from a large and varied sample of her work in sculpture that is to serve as the exhibit’s main axis, the proposed tribute to her work will include drawings, watercolors, oils, reliefs, and collages, as well as microsculptures.

The exhibition hopes to make manifest the manifold transformations of form and concept that the artist ingeniously invents and gives shape to through her sustained and highly original dialogue with form.

#StoMouseio

The Museum of Cycladic Art presents for the first time in Greece, Stefanos Tsivopoulos’ History Zero. Tsivopoulos with this work represented Greece in the 55th Venice Biennale in 2013. The piece comprises of a film structured in three parts (each 11 minutes), accompanied by an archive of 32 texts and imagery with alternative non-monetary exchange systems. The theme includes the concept of money, the value of material goods today and the alternative exchange systems.

The film depicts the experiences of three people, with very different conceptions of the value of money; its narrative explores the effect that monetary exchange can have in human relations as well as the political and social implications. It shows a young immigrant from Africa wandering around in the streets of Athens pushing a supermarket trolley and collecting scrap metal, a foreign artist who visits Athens seeking inspiration for a new artwork in the confusing…

The exhibition -the second part of the trilogy of exhibitions presented by Frissiras museum which was launched in 2012- examines the evolution of figurative painting in Greece and Europe during the past two decade of the 20th century, through the works of Frissiras museum’s collections. According to Art historian Thanassis Moutsopoulos, ‘The 1980s was the decade which brought painting back to the forefront. Wherein the two prior decades had led it to something like a ‘guerrilla war’ against the various trends of the “Avant-garde”, the “New Media” and “Conceptual Art”, the new decade restored its place internationally. In such major events as the Venice Biennale and, above all, the last Biennale of Paris in 1985, painting had the leading role. In Athens, around the middle…
