MAH

The Museum of Art and History, Geneva

First opened in 1910, Le Musée d’art et d’histoire Genève (MAH) currently spans 7,000 sqm over five stories, housing an impressive collection of some 650,000 items ranging from archaeological artefact to Byzantine art and Classical antiquities to modern paintings. Now, under the helm of its recently appointed Director Marc-Olivier Wahler, the historical institution is launching a new programming strategy aiming at critically recontextualising and showcasing its collection. To mark this significant milestone, MAH has unveiled a new visual identity and announced expansion plans, leading on a major urban development project which will materialise as an inclusive and integrated museum campus at the heart of Geneva.

Frieze

Social Work was an invitational section of Frieze London 2018 which featured eight monographic presentations by women artists whose work emerged in response to the global social and political schisms of the 1980s and ’90s. Social Work paid homage to a selection of artists who challenged the status quo and explored the possibilities of political activism in their art making.  Including both established and lesser-known feminist artists the section highlighted the role that galleries have played in their support of women artists whose work may not have been easily assimilated into the mainstream.

Stephen Friedman Gallery

Curated by the pioneering British artist Yinka Shonibore MBE, presented by Stephen Friedman Gallery, Talisman in the Age of Difference  explored the ideas of magic and subversive beauty in works by forty six artists of African origin and across the diaspora and artists who empathise with the spirit of African resistance and representation. Presenting an eclectic and surprising range of works, the exhibition included painting, sculpture, drawing and other objects from the early twentieth century to the present day. As with his own practice, Shonibare selected artists who make provocative work that consciously belies a subversive and political message and does not necessarily conform to a western vision of art.

DAU

Initially planned as a feature film, DAU began shooting in April 2007 and soon turned into a unique, epic, multidisciplinary, and ever-changing project created by Russian director Ilya Khrzhanovsky along with Sergei Adonyev. The project combines film, science, performance, spirituality, social and artistic experimentation, literature and architecture. Part of Dau himself was played by the eminent musician Teodor Currentzis. In January 2019, in Paris, the DAU project was presented at the Théâtre de la Ville and the  Théâtre du Châtelet. Visitors were only granted entry after they  had requested and had obtained a visa, and had left their mobiles and connections to the outside world at the cloakroom. At the Centre Pompidou, a Soviet apartment was recreated, where scientists from the Institute would live 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for the duration of the installation.
