Artista
Wolfgang Laib
Data
6 marzo – 8 luglio
Location
Musée de l'OrangerieJardin des Tuileries, 75001 Paris, France
This presentation will bring together works specially created by the artist for the museum’s very special architecture, in dialogue with that ode to nature and beauty formed by Monet’s Nymphéas. In the works of Wolfgang Laib (born in Germany in 1950), nature invades art. As a result, his materials, which include pollen, milk, rice and beeswax, dictate the final forms of the simple, geometrically-shaped sculptures created by the artist (squares, cones and alignments). Each of his works is presided over by a series of simple, economical actions involving a relationship with nature.
On January 30th at 6:00 PM, the Lia Rumma Gallery in Milan will host the presentation of "Marzia Migliora. Sette mostre immaginifiche 1993-2024", the first monograph dedicated to the artist. Both the artist and curators Matteo Lucchetti and Anna Cestelli Guidi will be present at the event. Conceived as a concept book, it reinterprets Marzia Migliora's body of work through seven recurring themes in her practice. The book features seven exhibitions on paper, each curated by a different curator who imagined them set in significant locations from the artist's life, creating a personal emotional geography that spans Italy, from her hometown of Alessandria to the salt mines of Sicily. Edited by Anna Cestelli Guidi and Matteo Lucchetti, the book compiles over thirty years of the artist’s work.
Wael Shawky’s practice spans film, performance, drawing, and sculpture. In his latest theatrical film, Drama 1882 (2024), which debuted at the Egyptian Pavilion at the 60th Venice Biennale (2024), Shawky examines the 1882 Urabi Revolution and Egypt’s resistance to British colonialism. This eight-part musical, reimagines the chain of events leading up to the revolution, examining primary sources to dispute the traditional Western settler narrative, suggesting that seemingly insignificant events, such as a café altercation involving a donkey keeper, could have been orchestrated by Britain as a pretext for their attack. Drama 1882 merges real and imagined histories into a musical critique that underscores the necessity to reevaluate history.
