First Details of the German Pavilion

Erste Details zum deutschen Pavillon

The German Pavilion at the upcoming Venice Biennale will present an exhibition titled "Ruin," featuring works by the late Henrike Naumann and artist Sung Tieu. Curated by Kathleen Reinhardt, the exhibition explores historical ruptures and the lingering effects of political and social voids following German reunification. Tragically, Naumann passed away shortly after completing her contributions, and her studio team is now working to realize her final artistic vision for the prestigious international stage.

Anthropomorpha at the Arts Club

The Arts Club of Chicago is currently hosting "Into Your Arm’s Length," a solo exhibition by New York-based artist Oren Pinhassi. The installation features a series of anthropomorphic sculptures crafted from sand and polymer, which Pinhassi integrates with rigid architectural elements like steel bedframes, glass panels, and venetian blinds. These hybrid forms create a surreal landscape where bulbous, organic shapes appear to interact with or "clutch" domestic furniture, challenging the viewer's perception of texture and weight.
