From January 31 to September 2, 2012, the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao will be hosting The Inverted Mirror: Art from the Collections of "la Caixa" Foundation and MACBA, a superb selection of works belonging to two outstanding contemporary art collections that represent the most significant tendencies and movements spanning the second half of the twentieth century to the present, such as Dau al Set, the El Paso group, the Vancouver School and the Dusseldorf School.

Curated by Álvaro Rodríguez Fominaya, Curator of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, the exhibition features 93 photographs, paintings, publications, sculptures, installations and videos by 52 celebrated artists such as Antoni Tàpies, Sigmar Polke, Julian Schnabel, Jeff Wall, Martha Rosler, Michelangelo Pistolletto, Thomas Ruff, Gillian Wearing, Bruce Nauman, Andreas Gursky, Martín Chirino and Antonio Saura, among others.

The exhibition is structured around the points of agreement and divergence between the Fundación "la Caixa" and MACBA collections and highlights the art movements that play an outstanding role in both collections, such as the beginning of Art Informel in Spain and the establishment of objectivity as a current in contemporary photography.

The exhibition title derives from Michelangelo Pistoletto's work Mirror Architecture, which is featured in the show. The image of a mirror is a metaphor for the processes of accumulation, transfer and interference that are a fundamental part of the birth and development of all art collections. In connection with its title, the show highlights two contemporary art collections located in Barcelona, which are extremely relevant in Europe and are being presented for the first time together outside of their respective venues, in keeping with a collaboration agreement signed in 2010.

SITAC X stakes a claim to the uncharted territory of the future by bringing together artists, theorists, writers, practitioners of the imagination and other adventurers who frequent the future to come together for three days of conversation, images, debate, proposals, premonitions and prophecies in February 2012. The event, which builds on SITAC's history of visionary discourse, will hope to lay the foundation for a new way of looking at the art world's tomorrow.

In 'The Future,' we will be particularly interested in exploring how artists bring the future alive with their work. We will excavate the histories of the future, particularly, but not only, in a Latin American context by looking at indigenous science fiction, and the chronicles of utopian communities and experimental forms of solidarity in a Latin American context. We will also look at the rapid advances out of yesterday and into tomorrow in a Middle East beset by turbulence, revolution and new hopes.

We will think about the intersections between technology, knowledge and culture, and explore new modes of artistic authorship—the world of collectives and ensembles that act as laboratories for contemporary creativity. We will also be interested in speculation and wagers (including the consequences of speculation in food on the current political and economic climate), in gambles and experiments, as well as in the forceful materiality of the architectural expressions of futuristic visions—of dreams realized in concrete that were meant to stay alive far into the future. We will examine scenarios for power and energy, politics and ecology, forms of living and life forms—as they evolve and shape our realities and make the future the present that will soon be upon us.

Artists, theorists, writers, achitects and specialists invited to the X SITAC are Julieta Aranda, Mariana Botey, Gabriel Cámara, Alejandro Chao Barona, Cosmin Costinas, Abraham Cruzvillegas, Yoel Díaz Vázquez, Alberto González Pozo, Inti Guerrero, Oscar Hagerman, Pablo Helguera, Hugo Hopping, Iconoclasistas, Fran Ilich, Sarah Kavage, Carlos Motta, Keith Moxey, Mehreen Murtaza, Ashis Nandy, Molly Nesbit, Trevor Paglen, Raqs Media Collective, Laura Restrepo, Pedro Reyes, Theodor Ringborg, Erik Velásquez García, Irit Rogoff, Michel Rojkind, Tino Sehgal, Itala Schmelz, Zoe Whitley.

Moderators: Eduardo Abaroa, Magali Arriola, Tatiana Cuevas and Ruth Estévez.

In its previous nine editions, SITAC has established itself as a reference platform in the international arena and as an expected event for a broad audience, one of the most relevant events in contemporary art theory of the region.

SITAC is a project by PAC

PARADOX in collaboration with 1x1 Art Gallery is pleased to present FRAGILE, a group show featuring ten contemporary Indian artists at the Singapore Arts House on Old Parliament Lane. This exhibition features delicate mixed media works on paper, digital prints, sculptures and paintings by some of India's most talented upcoming artists.

As we face increasingly tumultuous economic, political, and ecological times the world seems more vulnerable than ever. Acts of revolution across the globe, economic turmoil weakening the world's largest economies, and tragic natural and man-made disasters have rendered the world fragile. It is this notion of fragility, and the various shapes and forms in which it manifests, that lie at the heart of this exhibition.

	Columbus Museum of Art (CMA) is pleased to present the first solo museum exhibition in the U.S. of Moroccan-born artist Latifa Echakhch. The newest exhibition in CMA's Currents series positions continuing themes presented in CMA's Schiller Collection within a current cultural context. Using vintage lithographic stones, Echakhch responds specifically to prints in the Schiller Collection. Presenting the stones along with icons of the American West, Echakhch provides a poetic and complex view of the eroding cultural divide. "I'm thrilled to be able to present Latifa's work to Columbus," said Associate Curator of Contemporary Art Lisa Dent. "I've been an admirer of her work for years. She is an incredibly thoughtful and fearless artist whose work is respected around the world." In 2005, CMA acquired the Philip J. and Suzanne Schiller Collection of American Social Commentary Art, 1930–1970, which includes works by Jacob Lawrence, Romare Bearden, Rockwell Kent, George Tooker and Paul Cadmus. These works of art are the keystones between two major areas of strength in the Museum's American collection: George Bellows and the Ashcan School and American Modernism. Lithographic prints in the collection vividly address complex problems and issues in American history. Echakhch takes her visual cues from these prints, all created between 1930-1940, and utilizes them as a springboard for confronting issues that continue to face America today. Echakhch was born in Morocco in 1974. She has made a number of works incorporating materials such as carbon paper, charcoal, tea glasses, carpets or ink that provide her with a way of reflecting on her heritage. Her sculptural work often considers the implications of globalization using everyday objects or cultural symbols that, taken from their normal context, acquire a new meaning. Her work has been seen in numerous solo and group exhibitions at venues such as the Venice Biennale (2011), Tate Modern (London), MACBA (Barcelona), Frac Champagne Ardenne (Reims), GaMEC (Bergamo), the ArtFocus Biennial (Jerusalem), Manifesta 7 (Bolzano, Italy), Kunsthaus (Zurich) and the Swiss Institute (New York). Echakhch currently lives and works in Paris and Martigny, Switzerland. Currents is a series of exhibitions at the Columbus Museum of Art showcasing works in a variety of media by emerging and established international artists.

Works of Music by Visual Artists

"db"
Composition | Exhibition
28 January–9 April 2012

Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für Gegenwart – Berlin
Invalidenstr. 50-51, 10557 Berlin

Japanese composer and visual artist Ryoji Ikeda has conceived an exhibition for the Hamburger Bahnhof that, for the first time, compositionally unites the two symmetrical halls on the upper level of the museum's east and west wings. The exhibition's title "db" (abbr. for decibel) refers to this symmetry while simultaneously indicating the complementary relationship between the two exhibition spaces. Ikeda has designed the white room and the black room as counterparts, not only physically (brightness, color), but also conceptually and perceptually. The project is a composition in which time and space are shaped through the most minimal use of sound, light and visual elements. It is the artist's first solo exhibition in Germany.

The eponymous work "db" (2012) is centrally placed in both halls. In one room, it consists of a black super-directional parabolic loudspeaker that projects a pure wave of sound into the white space; in the other room, a powerful searchlight projects a beam of white light into the black space. The sound in the white room is reduced to a standing sine wave, the simplest musical building block. Every movement by a visitor alters the sonic field, allowing it to be experienced individually. The beam of light in the black room is directed through a hole in a wall at one end of the space and thus becomes perceptible as a white circle. The beam consists of pure white light that, analogously to white noise, contains all the colors of the spectrum. Here, too, visitors' movements alter the space; whenever they cross the beam of light, reflections illuminate the dark room.

Two other work complexes in the exhibition, "the irreducible [nº1-10]" (2009) and "the transcendental [nº4]" (2012), also complement each other. In the white room, the ten-part pigment print series "the irreducible", which consists of over 1 million digits each rendered in black on black stands in contrast to the ten video projections of "the transcendental" in the black room. There, a transcendental number consisting of an infinite number of digits is luminously represented, zooming by at an ultra-fast frame rate while generating sounds in real time. Both works involve the representation of infinity based on mathematical research. Here the visitor can see respectively hear a tiny fragment of this endlessness in each space, as if through a window frame in the wall.

Since the mid-1990s, Ryoji Ikeda (born 1966, lives in Paris) has been among the foremost international composers and artists in the realm of cutting-edge digital technologies and their integration into visual and acoustic presentations. His works are based on spatiotemporal compositions in which the musical and visual material is reduced to a minimum: sine waves, sound pulses, pixels of light and numerical data. He investigates sound, time and space on the basis of mathematical methods and transforms them in his concerts and installations into an intense experience for the audience.

The exhibition "db" by Ryoji Ikeda is the latest project in the "Works of Music by Visual Artists" series, which Freunde Guter Musik Berlin e.V. has presented in collaboration with the Nationalgalerie Berlin since 1999 and, since 2002, also with MaerzMusik, the contemporary music festival of the Berliner Festspiele. Since the start of the series, musical works and installations have already been presented by: Hanne Darboven, Yves Klein, Hermann Nitsch, Rodney Graham, Stephen Prina, Lawrence Weiner / Peter Gordon, Christian Marclay, Käthe Kruse, Carsten Nicolai, Janet Cardiff & George Bures Miller, Cory Arcangel, and Egill Sæbjörnsson & Marcia Moraes.

A project by Freunde Guter Musik Berlin e.V. and Nationalgalerie im Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für Gegenwart – Berlin. In collaboration with Berliner Festspiele / MaerzMusik 2012.

For many young artists, German painting around 1980 was strongly influenced by the Punk movement emanating especially from London and New York. Many painters felt a direct tie to the music scene, organizing concerts or playing in short-lived bands. Punk rock was typified by provocation, destructive pleasure, and a questioning of established social values. The punk scene furthermore soon developed into a trendsetter in terms of fashion, design and accessories. The punk "style" left its mark on urban street art and photography, on the outer habitus as well as the shaping of the younger generation's political and social beliefs. This cultural revolt's "style" also had a direct affect on the visual arts, particularly painting. It manifested itself in an art scene that in the late 1970s was attempting to distance itself from a concept and object art that was regarded as austere and theoretically vapid.

The exhibition documents the fight over traditional formal and iconographic patterns, their reassessment, the partly aggressive anarchistic pleasure in breaching taboos as well as narrative unpredictability.

Works will be presented from the "Sammlung Tiefe Blicke" that has been on permanent loan to the Hessisches Landesmuseum Darmstadt since 1984. Large format paintings by the ironists Peter Angermann, Blalla W. Hallmann, Milan Kunc, Jiri Georg Dokoupil, and Walter Dahn are contrasted with the "wild," neoexpressionist explosions of color by such artists as Helmut Middendorf, Elvira Bach, Albert Oehlen, Volker Tannert, and Bernd Zimmer. At the core of the exhibition are 19 paintings by Martin Kippenberger. The genre of painting is supplemented by sculptures by Felix Droese, Meuser, Harald Klingelhöller and the anarchistic "Endart" group from Berlin.

The accompanying program for this exhibition encompasses a wide-ranging series of educational events such as guided tours, workshops and lectures. Highpoints are a reading by the writer and musician Thomas Meinecke ("FSK") on March 15, 2012 presented in cooperation with the Centralstation Darmstadt and the Literaturhaus Darmstadt as well as a concert with the band "Fehlfarben" on April 27, 2012 in the Centralstation.

A catalog is published on the occasion of the exhibition.

23 February - 24 March 2012

Opening Reception 23 February 6-8 pm

Andreas Schulze, Untitled (Köln Room 2), 2010, installation view at Sammlung Falckenberg, Hamburg, mixed media

For Immediate Release:

Team Gallery is pleased to present an installation of new work by Köln-based artist Andreas Schulze. The exhibition will run from February 23rd through March 24th, 2012. Team Gallery is located at 47 Wooster Street, cross streets Grand and Broome. Concurrently, our 83 Grand Street space will debut new work by New York-based painter Davis Rhodes.

Andreas Schulze's practice allows for complex architectural settings that delight in domestic furniture and manicured gardens that have excessively round, full, and deep anatomies. For the artist's first exhibition at Team Gallery, Schulze presents new paintings alongside painted and found objects like lamps, tables, chairs, carpets, and curtains, accompanied by a hand-painted gallery floor. The immersive and site-specific installation re-configures the variable spatial relationships of viewer and object, viewer and window, viewer and painting.

The installation includes various domestic furniture pieces in the working method of Allan Kaprow or Gilbert and George, for instance - situated in a congruent zone of life and art. Human-scaled harlequin lamps have thick, patterned trucks topped with bulbous, oversized shades. A carpet placed at the entryway functions as a domestic doormat, while a second carpet is installed in the corner as a three-sided inverted-pyramid sculpture. Entitled Dirt Corner, the material is painted in gradients to gradually shade to black in the center, a humorous household dust bunny doubling as an intergalactic black hole. A hanging curtain presents the façade of a small home with one door and one window, while simultaneously functioning as a space divider one might find inside a massive living area. Painted cotton panels function as unusable tablecloths, elaborately covering a table's surface in a parallel gesture to the horizontal painting that covers the floor.

The subjects of Schulze's work are impenetrable windows, doors, and mirrors, nebulous interiors and landscapes. He obsessively undulates between hard and soft, inside and outside, playful and melancholic, comfortable and menacing. His flat painting style paired with the extreme depth of his illusions belies Schulze's complicated relationship to the history of painting. He employs the perspectival foreshortening and sfumato tonal shading techniques of realism that date back to the Renaissance, in addition to using the barren landscape backgrounds of Surrealism, the absurd object mash-ups of dada, the accessible furniture design art of Wiener Werkstätte and the Bauhaus, and the dramatically rendered subjects of neo-expressionist painting of the 1980s, among which his work was first shown and associated. His painted room and object installations stand in close relationship to the elaborate narrative scenes set by Joseph Beuys, Sigmar Polke, and Kurt Schwitters.

Schulze's intricate and evocative dramatic sites are reminiscent of Wagnerian opera or ancient Greek theater. Schulze returns to New York with a poetic, yet tense, amalgam of installation, painting, and sculpture, in which every object is sabotaged furniture, a decorated and mythic object for living, suffused with extreme magnitude while rinsed of all function.

Schulze was born in Hannover in 1955 and has been exhibiting his work since 1981. Last year the artist had a major survey exhibition with an extensive catalogue published by the Sammlung Falckenberg, Hamburg and the Leopold-Hoesch-Museum, Düren. Schulze's work has been exhibited at museums internationally including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Tate Museum in London, and the Kunstforeningen in Copenhagen, among many others.

Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 10am to 6pm. For further information and/or photographs please call 212 279 9219.

Davis Rhodes, Untitled, 2010, enamel on foamboard, two panels, 96 x 96 inches

For Immediate Release:

Team is pleased to present an exhibition of new work by New York-based artist Davis Rhodes. The exhibition will run from February 23rd through March 24th, 2012. Team Gallery is located at 83 Grand Street, between Wooster and Greene, on the ground floor. Concurrently, our 47 Wooster Street space will house an installation by Köln-based artist Andreas Schulze.

For his second solo exhibition at Team, Davis Rhodes presents a selection of paintings made with spray paint on foamcore board. Using the logic of radical material transformation, lightweight panels lean flat against the wall, while others, warped by the application of water-based paint, stand independently in space. At the standard size of eight feet tall by four feet wide, the paintings have a bold physical presence in the gallery that belies their precarious material means.

Rhodes' work carries strong reference to post-painterly and hard-edge abstraction in addition to the deep influence of pop appropriation spanning from commercial signage to the guerilla tactics of amateur street advertising. As with his previous bodies of work, Rhodes channels the aesthetic practices of public visual economy into his abstractions. His paintings are composed of an economical vernacular: hard, clean lines; sheer reflective fields of color; and open, iconic signs, appear to contain a clear communicative promise. The works challenge the viewer with mute austerity as stark signs that refuse to perform as signifiers. Some pieces resemble imploded mirrors, offering only shadowy reflections and subtle visual distortions, while others are blank slabs, mirroring only the white space of the gallery. With opaque colors and the layering of whites, Rhodes' work complicates ideas of frontal forms in painting while at the same time denying real references.

The large glossy surfaces are scattered with drips, leaks, cracks, discolorations and folds which are subtle traces of the parallel and unpoetic painterly reality of the materials Rhodes employs. The functional, base application of spray paint to foamboard is emphatically outside the frame of painting and the context of the gallery. This external provenance persists in the work as antithetical to the pristine and protected presence of unique objects viewed within the gallery setting. The works hinge on the tension of display versus use values, suggesting the impermanence of their visual status.

The obstructions and reflections in Rhodes' work mime situationist, interventionist, and textual gestures of reversal and provocation. These monolithic forms combine the extreme restrictions of minimalism and monochromes with an open, porous practice that finds practical antecedents in the positions of Arte Povera and post-minimalism. Rhodes' emphasized material strategies echo a legacy of artists as diverse as Blinky Palermo, Gordon Matta-Clark, Oliver Mosset, Robert Ryman, and Richard Serra.

Davis Rhodes has been exhibiting his work since 2006. He has been the subject of solo exhibitions in New York, Los Angeles, and Antwerp.

Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 10am to 6pm. For further information and/or photographs, please call 212.279.9219.

Until recently, Turkish artist Yüksel Arslan (born 1933, lives and works in Paris) remained almost unknown to a broader public. In 1962, he left his homeland and went to live in Paris where he has worked ever since on a visual oeuvre by and through the reception of cultural, sociological, philosophical and artistic literature in his apartment. The exhibition at Kunsthalle Zürich presents for the first time a selection of over 200 works since 1959 outside of Turkey and focuses on the so called Artures, works on paper using a unique technique with special paints and being marked by an expressiveness that Eugène Delacroix has already looked upon as a typical characteristic of the orient. Thematically, the work is permeated by a confrontation with the relationship between thought and mysticism, between myth, science, and visual arts, and the philosophical, literary and musical currents which might be described as the foundation of Western thought, in the awareness that the knowledge anchored here could hardly have arisen without the experience of other peoples and cultures.

Arslan does not use classical paints, but mixes pigments with various vegetable extracts, bodily fluids, other natural elements (petals, grass etc.), and additional substances such as oil, coal and stones. This process of production is an important part of the pictorial invention process, and does not represent any separate preparation of the actual artistic work. In Arslan's opinion painting, since the dawn of modern art, has degenerated into a medium whose origins numerous artists have increasingly neglected. Like Jean Dubuffet, the artist seeks to throw off the ballast of today in order to bring out what—before the beginning of a culture—constituted the "essence". It is only the path via what has superficially been transcended by culture, but in reality only distorted, that allows Arslan to rediscover the pristine, which he then consistently venerates, for example procreation and sexuality. As he occupies himself with modern and ancient languages, history, philosophy, music and ancient cultures, he is familiar with the cultural "ballast". Arslan has come to recognize that much of this does not reflect the essence of man. He senses similarities of the vernacular in the origins of cultures all over the world.

Arslan's Artures are created in groups that unite not only socially relevant themes and questions, but also thematize the experiences that relate to his own life story. The three cycles with the titles L'Homme I – III, Le Capital are general in their approach, while the two series Influances I & II stand for the artist's occupation with personalities and their achievements, which are not only relevant to his approach but also emphasize his great affinity to literature and music. In this sense he has created works relating to, among others, Johann Sebastian Bach, Charles Baudelaire, Samuel Beckett, René Descartes, Sigmund Freud and Franz Kafka. In the series Autoartures, Arslan deals exclusively with autobiographical events: memories relating to his family and his background—the confrontation with his own pristinity.

The exhibition is curated by Beatrix Ruf in collaboration with Oliver Zybok and will travel to Kunsthalle Düsseldorf and Kunsthalle Wien.

Design between Tradition and Innovation

An exhibition of IfA (Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen, Stuttgart, Germany)

NID-Design Gallery

---------------------------------------------------

Bookshelves made of books, bulky cupboards with no space inside, soft, foamy rustic furniture and classics made of carbon fiber: Redesign and ready-made furniture, traditional workmanship using new materials and the transformation of design classics are the themes of the 'new olds' exhibition. This exhibition focuses on how tradition is evaluated in the different countries and cultures and what is done with it.

Design has had a short but very successful history in the Western world and has quickly become an established element in the collective understanding of culture. And it is gaining significance outside the Western hemisphere, too. Successful ideas are copied and varied, but such "innovations" often derive from a historical vocabulary of forms and thus constitute independent forms that are characteristic of a country or culture. The exhibition new olds showcases 58 objects showing design between tradition and innovation. In all, 45 designers and groups of designers who work mainly in Germany, other European countries and the USA have reached some surprising results.

The connection to local discourse supports the dialogue character of new olds: Indian designers are invited to contribute to this IfA exhibition, and a blog is documenting the work additionally presented during the tour, which is also a platform for continuing the discourse and exchanging thought processes between the different countries and continents of the whole tour.

New olds is one of a series of design exhibitions that IfA has been presenting to an increasingly international audience to great acclaim since 1998. The aim of these exhibitions is to address interdisciplinary subjects relating to contemporary German and European design presenting different positions and lines of thought.

The participating Indian artists are Errol Pires, Rajiv Jassal and Bikram Mittra.

Ongoing exhibition:
Yoko Ono | THE SEEDS
Until 10 March, 2012

About the film

In 1969, Yoko Ono and John Lennon produced a 75-minute mini-feature called Rape. The premise of this film comes from an Ono film score published in 1968. "‹The cameraman will chase a girl on a street with a camera persistently until he corners her in an alley, and, if possible, until she is in a falling position.› The execution [...] is one of the most violent and sexually charged movies ever made - even if flesh never touches flesh. [...]"

The film stars Eva Majlata, a 21 year old Hungarian actress who cannot speak English. She cannot escape the prying attentions of the camera which follows her around the streets of London, through a park, allowing her no privacy and finally corners her in her apartment. Rape was shot when John and Yoko were both at Great Charlotte Street Hospital following Yoko's miscarriage, the cameraman was Nick Knowland. The film received its world premiere on Austrian Television on 31st March 1969. That year it was also shown at the Montreux Television Festival and the Mannheim Film Festival.

The Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, in partnership with the Paula Rego Foundation/Casa des Histórias, presents for the first time in Paris a representative exhibition of the highly renowned British artist Paula Rego, born in Lisbon in 1935.

The artist, who works on memories of her childhood spent in Portugal, trained as an artist in London, where she lives.

Bringing together a collection of works created between 1988 and 2010, a period representing the artist's total maturity, the exhibition, which in no way is a retrospective, centres—and concentrates—on a selection of the thematic series which have contributed the most to the international recognition of her strength and originality.

With a selection of paintings, drawings and prints, as part of a narrative which intertwines with other artistic disciplines like literature, cinema or drama, and the multiplicity of her resources, both scholarly and popular, Paula Rego appears as a figurative artist who masters both the technical tools and the aesthetic resources of the old masters, developing an artistic language which speaks to our time, disrupting or provoking it, questioning and altering the spectator. The series on abortion (Untitled) (1998) or the Mulher Cão (Dog woman) (1994), where women are portrayed, unexpectedly, with an aura of energy, determination and power, are examples of her potent effect on our awareness and behaviour.

The themes explore the numerous and complex fields of human relations, the dark and emotional side of their nature and the ambiguity of their actions, filtered through a militant feminine awareness. One might think that it represents an unreservedly feminine point of view, but it is, above all, Paula Rego's point of view that is expressed, unique and distinctive. In 1998 the artist painted an angel, protector and avenger, a feminine figure carrying sword and sponge, symbols of the Passion. The drama is played out around her under the merciless scrutiny of her emotions.

David Hockney RA: A Bigger Picture
Sponsored by BNP Paribas
Main Galleries
21 January–9 April 2012

Royal Academy of Arts
Burlington House, Piccadilly
London W1J OBD

www.royalacademy.org.uk

The Royal Academy of Arts presents the first major exhibition in the UK to showcase David Hockney's landscape work. Vivid paintings inspired by the Yorkshire countryside, many exhibited here for the first time, are shown alongside related drawings and digital video. Over 150 works are on display, the majority of which have been created in the last eight years. The exhibition also includes a selection of works dating as far back as 1956, which places the recent work in the context of Hockney's extended exploration of and fascination with landscape. The exhibition takes the visitor on a journey through Hockney's view of the world.

Initially, the exhibition addresses the various approaches that Hockney has taken towards the depiction of landscape throughout his career. Past works include Rocky Mountains and Tired Indians, 1965 (The National Galleries of Scotland, Edinburgh), Garrowby Hill, 1998 (Museum of Fine Arts, Boston) and A Closer Grand Canyon, 1998 (Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebaek). Hockney's exploration of the depiction of space is traced from work dating to his time as a student, through his photocollages of the 1980s and the Grand Canyon paintings of the late 1990s, to the recent paintings of East Yorkshire, frequently made en plein air.

The exhibition reveals the artist's emotional engagement with the landscape he knew in his youth, as, in a series of galleries each dedicated to a particular motif, he examines daily variations in light and weather conditions and the cycles of growth and decay as the seasons change. Since undertaking this exhibition in 2007, Hockney's intense observation of his surroundings has become manifested in a variety of media. Highlights include three groups of new work made specifically for this exhibition.

Firstly, a series of paintings inspired by Claude Lorrain's painting The Sermon on the Mount, 1656 (The Frick Collection, New York) in which Hockney explores its unusual treatment of space, culminating in the monumental painting: A Bigger Message, 2010. Secondly, new digital videos featuring motifs familiar from Hockney's paintings are displayed on multiple screens; filmed simultaneously using nine and eighteen cameras, they provide a spellbinding visual experience. Hockney's in-depth engagement with the works of the Old Masters and the historical use of optical aids was made clear in his book Secret Knowledge (2001). Hockney too has always embraced new technologies for the purposes of image making, most recently the iPad.

The exhibition culminates in the largest of the Royal Academy's galleries, with the immersive work The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate, East Yorkshire in 2011 (twenty eleven). Hockney's glorious homage to nature is dominated by a painting on 32 canvases, surrounded by over fifty large-scale iPad drawings printed on paper, which chronicle the advancing season in breathtaking detail. Hockney has found in landscape the ultimate subject for 'A Bigger Picture'.

ORGANISATION
David Hockney RA: A Bigger Picture has been organised by the Royal Academy of Arts, London in collaboration with the Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao and the Museum Ludwig, Cologne. The exhibition has been curated by the independent curator Marco Livingstone and Edith Devaney, the Royal Academy of Arts.

Gasworks hosts a talk by the artists taking part in No Lone Zone, an exhibition curated by Iria Candela and Taiyana Pimentel. The talk at Gasworks preceeds the exhibition that will take place at Tate Modern's Level 2 gallery from 27 January to 13 May 2012.

No Lone Zone is a technical term which refers to a restricted area where at least two people must have sight of a critical or sensitive procedure. The exhibition brings together works by Cinthia Marcelle, Teresa Margolles, David Zink Yi and the Tercerunquinto collective that explore this concept in relation to the vulnerability of current social and economic structures. Consisting of sculpture, video and installation, the exhibition reflects on the senses of loss, danger or urgency that inform human actions and collective endeavours in such a turbulent global context.

The talk at Gasworks will be moderated by Catherine Petitgas (Collector and Trustee of Triangle Network) and will include the curators of the exhibition, Cinthia Marcelle, David Zink Yi and the Tercerunquinto collective. It will provide an opportunity to meet the artists and discuss their practices in an open, public forum.

No Lone Zone is result of a collaboration between Tate Modern, London and Sala de Arte Público Siqueiros, Mexico City. The curatorial exchange is supported by the World Collections Programme, with the collaboration of Gasworks. The Level 2 Gallery programme is made possible with the generous support of Catherine Petitgas.

Please arrive early as places are limited. Directions to Gasworks and travel information here.

Vadehra Art Gallery features, for the first time in India, the work of the legendary Yoko Ono. Her role as an artist, musician, filmmaker, and activist since the early sixties is of great significance to the art world, and continues to influence generations today.

There are two simultaneous exhibitions of Ono's work - OUR BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTERS, at Vadehra Art Gallery, D-178 Okhla Phase 1, and a parallel exhibition titled THE SEEDS at Vadehra Art Gallery, D-53 Defence Colony, New Delhi.

The exhibition OUR BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTERS brings into focus the issue of gender. Ono has always been committed to exploring the experiences of women and has created a special new installation for India that engages the audience and sheds light on some of the challenges women face today. Apart from this latest installation, the exhibition in Delhi recalls some of her legendary instruction-based works.

The parallel exhibition titled THE SEEDS showcases some of Yoko Ono's earlier work – films, collaborations with other artists, instructions, photographs – along with historical documentation of performances and installations to present a composite picture of her longstanding artistic career and commitment to peace.

There is also a series of Public Art Projects, spread across over 20 venues in Delhi. These include WISH TREES, an interactive project that the artist first made in 1996, large scale banners that carry Yoko Ono's specially chosen messages for India, as well as a set of 'instructions' in the form of postcards.

The Public Art Projects and outreach activities are co-organised by Vadehra Art Gallery and The Japan Foundation. Additional support for these projects and support for the performance has been provided by Outset India. The American Center has provided in-part support for the exhibition at the Okhla Gallery. Hospitality partner: The Imperial Hotel, New Delhi; Logistics partner: United Artlogistics Pvt. Ltd.; Technical support: Casio India.

	In Numbers: Serial Publications by Artists since 1955 Lis Rhodes: *Dissonance & Disturbance* 25 January–25 March 2012 Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) The Mall London, SW1Y 5AH England www.ica.org.uk
	In Numbers In Numbers is a survey of artists' serial publications between 1955 and the present—a neglected art form that is neither artists' book nor ephemera, but is entirely its own unique object. From the small press in the 1960s to the DIY zine culture in the 1980s and early 1990s, artists have seized on the magazine/ postcard format as a new kind of art production. A large cross-section of publications is surveyed, from 1950s LA to present day Japan. The diversity of the list reflects the backgrounds of the producing artists and the wide range of techniques and media. The exhibition is accompanied by the publication In Numbers: Serial Publications by Artists Since 1955, edited by Philip Aarons and Andrew Roth (New York: PPP Editions, 2010). In Numbers is presented with special thanks to Philip Aarons and Shelley Fox Aarons. Lis Rhodes Since the 1970s, Lis Rhodes has been making radical and experimental films that challenge the viewer to reconsider film as a medium of communication and presentation of image, language, and sound. Dissonance & Disturbance presents films, which negotiate the relationship of image to sound, the presence of injustice and the language of resistance and opposition. A cross-section of films charting Lis Rhodes' career will be presented, including Dresden Dynamo (1972), Light Reading (1978), Hang on a Minute series (1983–1985), A Cold Draft (1988), and more recent works such as In the Kettle (2010) and Whitehall (2012). A series of talks, events and performances accompany the exhibitions, offering a forum to explore issues around the work. Events programme: A Fragile Existence - A History of Women's Film and Video Distribution in Fragments 1 February A reading of archival correspondence and documents from decisive moments in the history of female film distribution followed by a roundtable discussion with Felicity Sparrow, freelance curator and researcher and founder of Circles Distribution, Julia Knight Professor of Moving Image at the University of Sunderland, and writer and curator Elinor Cleghorn. 1 Day before Yesterday – 1 Day after Tomorrow: Themerson & Themerson at the ICA 18 February A day of presentations, talks, events, and films exploring the category-defying output of Franciszka and Stefan Themerson—an artistic collaboration spanning over six decades, covering film, publishing, typography, language and philosophy. Contributors include Jasia Reichardt, Nick Wadley, Barnaby Dicker, Robin Kinross, Manuel Graf and more. Factory Floor 18 February Factory Floor create an improvised soundtrack inspired by the Themerson's imaginative interpretation of visualising sound. From visual to textual – Typography in/as Conceptual Art 29 February Ruth Blacksell explores the shift from 'looking' to 'reading' in the text-based art practices of the 1960s and 70s as demonstrated in the works of Vito Acconci, Lawrence Weiner, Joseph Kosuth, Robert Smithson, Dan Graham and more. The Trouble with Image Politics 14 March Looking toward Lis Rhodes' use of appropriated imagery of the West Bank, Dr. Juliet Steyn will moderate a panel discussion on the social and political implications of the modes of distribution, reception and contextualization of art and popular imagery.

DAI-bulletin 2011-2012 number four January 2012

Dear friends and relations of the DAI,

Farewell to old things !
There is a lot to be done in the new year, so we are not going to wait for the bankers and the politicians. "You can play a shoestring, if you're sincere", John Coltrane said.
Here, at the DAI in Arnhem, we're all up for it.

For DAI-week 4 ( from January 9 till 13), Jimmy Robert, Marga van Mechelen, Arnoud Holleman, Stephen Wright, Antonio Jose Guzman, Anthony Isles, Mattin, Wendelien van Oldenborgh, Falke Pisano and Seth Siegelaub will join our faculty 2011-2012 for a week long line up of seminars, lectures, tutorials, presentations, projects and communal lunches and dinners.
