Venice Biennale: Juan Burgos at the pavilion of Uruguay
Burgos expands urban apocalyptic visions which proliferate in daily life. His starting point is a children's storybook, from which he constructs a delirious collage. Anything is possible in his productions. With amazing dexterity he cuts, pastes, digitally photocopies and photocopies again, the result of which he fits into a fascinating stage design. Within these metaphors, there are, mingled with a large cast of characters, iconic elements of national images continue

Venice Biennale: Danish and Nordic Pavilion
The curators approach the topic of collecting, and the psychology behind the practice of expressing oneself through physical objects. Why do we gather items and surround ourselves with them in our every day lives? Which mechanisms of desire trigger our selection? continue
East of Nowhere - Contemporary Art from post-Soviet Central Asia
The exhibition, located in the beautiful but cruelly un-heated Fondazione 107, uses photographic works, videos, installations and sculptures to document a moment of extraordinary transformation for an area that is five times bigger than Europe. The result is bold and exciting with its mix of "globalization", acceleration, pre-soviet and islamic traditions continue
Portraying the mafia
Letizia Battaglia's pictures, because of the corruption, silence, violence and suffering they laid bare, played a crucial role in the anti-mafia campaign. They show anti-mafia Judge Cesare Terranova shot in his car, corpses of mafiosi found by the road, tears of the wives and mothers when they discover the scene of the crime, arrests of the mafia boss, teenagers pretending to be though guys with attitude and guns continue
A Guest + A Host = A Ghost - Works from the Dakis Joannou Collection at DESTE Foundation in Athens
In a series of symbiotic encounters and parasitic relationships, the solo presentations are often interrupted by incongruous presences or perturbed by unusual juxtapositions: drawings by Kara Walker surround a tomb by Urs Fischer; Maurizio Cattelan's homeless man kneels down in front of Kiki Smith's Bat Woman; Robert Gober's haunted rooms incorporate Gregor Schneider's architectural fragments, etc. continue
Rechnender Raum (Calculating Space) at the Share Festival in Turin
Calculating Space is a delicate sculpture made of sticks, strings and little plumbs. The fragility and transparency of its structure reveals as much as it hides the logic and functioning of the machine. Its units operate like a very basic artifical neural network continue
November programme for the VivoArts School for Transgenic Aesthetics
The VivoArts School for Transgenic Aesthetics Ltd., Adam Zaretsky and Waag Society's temporary research and education institute on Art and Life Sciences, will be focusing this month on body art continue
Venice Biennale: the Finnish pavilion
This year the wooden pavilion, designed by architect Alvar Aalto in 1956, hosts a collection of Fire & Rescue Museum by Jussi Kivi. The artist's museum project is based on his long-term passion of collecting every imaginable item that ever has had something to do with firefighting continue
Smoke and Hot Air
The installation echoes the artist's concern for the relentless threats against Iran made by many countries in recent years. Sentences that include "attack Iran" are scavenged from Google News and spoken using a text-to-speech synthesizer. The voice is then picked up by a microphone, analyzed, and translated into rhythmically corresponding smoke rings from a quartet of smoke ring makers continue
Book Review - Installations by Architects: Experiments in Building and Design
Like paper projects designed in the absence of "real" architecture, installations offer architects another way to engage in issues critical to their practice. Direct experimentation with architecture's material and social dimensions engages the public around issues in the built environment that concern them and expands the ways that architecture can participate in and impact people's everyday lives continue
