NO SOUL FOR SALE – A Festival of Independents’
To celebrate Tate Modern’s 10th anniversary, the gallery will host No Soul For Sale – A Festival of Independents which is an initiative of the artist Maurizio Cattelan and curators Cecilia Alemani and Massimiliano Gioni. The festival will bring together over 60 of the world’s most exciting independent art spaces, non-profit organizations and artists’ collectives. Participants will present talks, screenings, performances alongside each other without partitions or walls, following a do-it-yourself style. Latitudes is an independent Barcelona-based [41º23’N, 2º11’E] curatorial office initiated by Max Andrews and Mariana Cánepa Luna. In response to the invitation and need to travel to London, Martí Anson has proposed to set up the company “Mataró Chauffeur Service”, and drive Latitudes from Barcelona [41º 23’N, 2º 11’E] to London [51°30′N 0°7′W] and back. The car itself will form the basis of Latitudes’ temporary office-encampment in the Tate Modern Turbine Hall, which will be parked up for the weekend alongside a ‘typically Spanish’ picnic scenario of camping chairs, table, cool box and parasol. In this setting Latitudes will present films and publications relating to their recent projects. The scenario will also serve as a meeting point for a series of informal encounters with invited artists and curators. The car interior will serve as a screening space for films by artists Bik Van der Pol, Marjolijn Dijkman, Jan Dibbets and Christina Hemauer & Roman Keller. 14.5. – 16.5.2010, Tate Modern, London more... |

Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen: Portscapes
In 2009 several national and international artists undertook an artistic journey of discovery into the past, present and future of the Port of Rotterdam under the umbrella title of Portscapes, drawing inspiration from the port. Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen is showing ten art projects that resulted from it in a high-profile exhibition. The construction of the Second Maasvlakte, an enormous reclamation project creating 2,000 hectares of land in the North Sea, prompted the Port of Rotterdam Authority to embark on an ambitious art programme. A series of art projects was put together in association with the art and public space foundation SKOR (Stichting Kunst en Openbare Ruimte) and Latitudes, a team of curators from Barcelona. 30.1. – 25.4.2010, Portscapes Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen more... |
