San Carlo Cremona is pleased to present Dara Friedman, “The Tiger’s Tail”, June 11

is pleased to invite you to DARA FRIEDMAN The Tiger's Tail   Opening reception Saturday 11 June, 8 pm Via Bissolati 33 - Cremona, Italy

San Carlo Cremona is pleased to present Dara Friedman, “The Tiger’s Tail”, the third show of San Carlo Cremona to be held in the 17th-century deconsecrated church of San Carlo in Via Bissolati 33, Cremona. Dara Friedman’s solo show will be on view from June the 11th to September the 9th, 2022. For the first year of the project San Carlo Cremona (September 2021 - September 2022) the artist Servane Mary has invited artists friends to exhibit in the space of San Carlo Cremona. Each exhibition is a site-specific solo presentation of an artist’s work that features various media. Initiating the series with painting: Servane Mary, “Glitches”; following with sculpture, Mark Handforth: “White-Light-Whirlwind”; we now present film, sound installation and performance with Dara Friedman, “The Tiger’s Tail”.  The installation presents as its main theme the “vesica piscis”. The symbol revealed itself during the course of creating the exhibition in both the video projection “Mandorla” and the floor drawing in chalk pastels, “The Tiger’s Tail”. This form found its way into the work. “I wasn’t looking for it and didn’t know what it was when it arrived” states Dara Friedman.  “Mandorla” projected on a large, two-sided screen, suspended from the central dome of the church, floats above “The Tiger’s Tail” labyrinth spiraling on the floor. In “Mandorla”, 35 mm film transferred to 4K video, the bright orbs overlap each other as if you were crossing your eyes. Under exquisite spiraling tension the arcing movement anticipates fleeting meetings and glancing misses.  Occasionally a panther laps water, her tail curling and uncurling while making eye contact, locking eyes with the viewer’s. The ripples on the water mirror the bright rings of “The Tiger’s Tail” labyrinth on the floor of the church. An unsynchronized soundtrack of gong and single violin notes, sound waves from musical instruments intentionally not composed, allows space for their vibrational qualities to overlap and collide haphazardly like ripples of water.  “The Tiger’s Tail” labyrinth drawn in bright chalk on the terra-cotta floor of San Carlo, strains against the edges of the nave, the drawing’s centrifugal force expansive yet held. The monumental drawing is temporary, perhaps similar to a Buddhist mandala, marking an exquisite and passing time. Surprisingly within the central “perfect” oval of “The Tiger’s Tail”, the “vesica piscis” form was waiting to be discovered.  As a filmmaker Dara Friedman understands the labyrinth as another form of movie making. The path moves us through space, physically pivoting the body, changing our point of view to see the world (inner and outer) from various perspectives, as the filmmaker does. At the same time the narrative that we bring to this walk is our own, unprescribed emotional journey, with the possibility of creating a muscle memory of the event. Putting one foot in front of the other. Moving forward along a path whose end we cannot see, because it curves. Dara Friedman is a German born artist and filmmaker working in Miami and New York. Among her numerous solo shows are Harburger Kunstverein (2019), a mid-career survey “Dara Friedman: Perfect Stranger”, Pérez Art Museum Miami (2017-2018), Aspen Art Museum (2017), Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2014), Museum of Contemporary Art of Detroit (2014), Contemporary Art Museum of Raleigh, North California (2012), Public Art Fund New York (2007), and Gavin Brown’s Enterprise, New York (1998, 2000, 2002, 2007, 2011, 2014 and 2017), Galleria Massimo Minini, Brescia, Italy (2002), Supportico Lopez, Berlin (2017), Galleria Franco Noero, Turin, Italy (2018), and Kayne Griffin Corcoran (2014, 2017). Major public collections include The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; Pérez Art Museum, Miami; French National Collection, and Julia Stoschek Collection, Düsseldorf. Friedman is a recipient of the Rome Prize (1999) and a Guggenheim Fellow (2019).    RSVP: info@sancarlocremona.com - +39 3389736491   #sancarlocremona#fineartmagazine#thetigerstailfun

Berlin Art Week 2020 September 9-11

Despite the hand that 2020 has dealt thus far, this year’s Berlin Art Week and postponed edition of Gallery Weekend Berlin are set to kick off in nearly full swing on September 9th and 11th, respectively. There may not be any boisterous dinners or crowded openings in the traditional sense, but a plethora of noteworthy exhibitions, talks, screenings and award ceremonies will be taking place digitally and physically, with day-long openings where you can—wait for it—actually see the art on the walls. Without further ado, here are some of the most promising shows that should be at the top of your itinerary for the 2020 iterations of Berlin Art Week and Gallery Weekend Berlin. Curators of the 11th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art, from left: Renata Cervetto, Agustín Pérez Rubio, María Berríos, Lisette Lagnado, photo: F. Anthea Schaap Let’s begin with the most sprawling and complex of them all: the 11th Berlin Biennial (BB11). Helmed by a team of South-American curators—María Berríos, Renata Cervetto, Lisette Lagnado, and Agustín Pérez Rubio—this edition of the Biennale has been envisioned as a series of lived experiences that evolve as a process. As such, the show already started to unfold over the course of the past year through three exhibitions-cum-experiences, deemed “moments” by the curators and titled “exp. 1,” “exp. 2,” and “exp. 3.” Each of these moments attempted to learn from and build sustainable relationships with the participating artists and projects as well as with the city and people of Berlin. Having wrapped up “exp. 3” earlier this summer, the stage is now set for the “epilogue,” which opened on September 5th. Titled “The Crack Begins Within”—words taken from a poem by Iman Mersal—the epilogue is an exercise of mutual recognition, an acknowledgement of the cracks in our systems, of those broken by them and their struggles. Works by artists like Pacita Abad, Noor Abuarafeh, Deanna Bowen, Francisco Copello, Cian Dayrit, Käthe Kollwitz, Katarina Zdjelar, and many others will be spread throughout KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Gropius Bau, daad Galerie, and ExRotaprint. Magical Soup, exhibition view Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin, photo: Mathias Völzke BB11 is a staple of Berlin Art Week’s official agenda, which also includes institutional exhibitions like “Magical Soup” at Hamburger Bahnhof. Featuring work by artists ranging from Nam June Paik to Lawrence Weiner to Pipilotti Rist to Anne Imhof, Nicole Wermers, Korakrit Arunanondchai, Christine Sun Kim, Sandra Mujinga, and many others, the show takes the intersection of sound, image, and social space as its starting point and goes on to explore the power with which these medias can create, reveal or hide reality. The works on view will feature precise observations, forms of radical self-expression, and deliberate the deconstruction of identity. While at Hamburger Bahnhof, it’s also worth visiting Katharina Grosse’s much buzzed about exhibition, “It Wasn’t Us” (the installations are so large that it would be nearly impossible to miss anyway!). POSITIONS Berlin Art Fair, photo: Clara Wenzel-Theiler  Berlin Art Week and Gallery Weekend Berlin 2020 extend much further, into the digital realm and beyond. We must admit that we’ll certainly miss the bustling openings and the lower probability of chance encounters (not to mention the inability to meet many of the exhibiting artists who will be installing their shows remotely via Zoom), but hey, at least we can encourage you to leave the screen and explore the city’s rejuvenated art scene—something that three months ago we wouldn’t have thought possible. Stay healthy and best wishes, The Exhibitionary team #berlinartweek#fineartmagazine#artfun
