Nepal is the Best Value Destination to travel to. Nepal’s cultural landscape is every bit as diverse as its physical one. The spectacular Himalayas comprise the highest mountains on earth and boast a surreal landscape of snow-covered peaks sure to leave a powerful impression. The Himalayan country of Nepal, situated between India and China, offers some of the best access to these mountain peaks, where landscapes vary from subtropical valleys (complete with banana trees) to alpine forests (home to grazing yaks). Customs and traditions differ from one part of Nepal to another. A conglomeration lies in the capital city, Kathmandu, where cultures are blending to form a national identity. Kathmandu Valley has served as the country’s cultural metropolis since the unification of Nepal in the 18th Century. A prominent factor in Nepali’s everyday life is religion. Adding color to the lives of Nepalese are festivals the year round which they celebrate with much pomp and joy. Food plays an important role in the celebration of these festivals. Capital is surrounded by a valley full of historic sites, ancient temples, shrines, and fascinating villages. Kathmandu is an incredibly diverse historic city with breathtaking Newari architecture, centuries-old Hindu and Buddhist religious sites. […]
We are inviting visual and new media artists to submit their artwork for the exhibition program of the 8th Student International Film Festival. For the last seven years, STIFF Festival has produced a rich accompanying program that elaborates and complements the thematic focus of its film program. With the emphasis on contemporary art practices, STIFF’s exhibition program gathers artists from all over the globe, dealing with relevant social, political, as well as intimate aspects of everyday life. This year the festival is giving attention to the Body, and the exhibition program aims to explore socially relevant ways of interpreting the body in a contemporary environment saturated with images. What is the relationship between a body and the moving image? Are we our bodies or is the body just merchandise we trade on the labor market and offer in intimate relationships? How to position ourselves in a world where objects move more freely than people? When is our body an instrument of knowledge, interaction, and intimacy with the world, and when is it a space of discomfort and restriction? Do we allow our bodies to be playful? We encourage a view of the body as productive and creative, the body as a process that […]
In her sculptural work Antonia Breme deals with display elements in the context of store window displays. She examines the artistic practice of designing window displays as an alternative means of income and, in this context, addresses the question of the so-called “money job“, that many artists perform in addition to their artistic work. In this way, she reflects on her own position in the tension between artistic autonomy and economic necessity. The exhibited sculptures and objects were originally designed for a window display of the fashion label Weather Underground to present its biodegradable rain capes. In the context of the exhibition V (Virtus), they obtain independence and at the same time refer to their original function. The installative setting makes Antonia Breme’s artistic process visible as well as her handling of different materials and surfaces. At the same time, the work on display remains flexible and expandable and exists in this form only for the duration of the exhibition. www.antoniabreme.com HilbertRaum Reuterstraße 31 12047 Berlin 22.10.-31.10.2021 Soft Opening 22.10.2021, 6-10 pm Opening hours: Opening Fridays 6-10 pm Other Fridays 4-7 pm Saturday + Sunday 2-7 pm Curated by: Hannah van Ginkel

The ‘Post Box’ long term exhibition project creates international visibility and interaction between artists during the traveling restrictions of the Covid-19 pandemic. Artworks sent to the postbox of the Hypercube Space will be exhibited in a 105cm (W) x 170cm (H) x 33cm (D) public display window located next to the postbox itself. By hacking this advertisement display window, this idea engages with the art audience in the heart of central Lisbon, now home to a growing international community who have chosen the city as their home. This is in keeping with Hypercube’s manifesto to expand the notion of the artspace. Every month another international artist’s work will be selected and presented for a 4 week period as part of a rolling open call for submissions. The Theme – “Connections”: The main theme of the Post box exhibition series is “connections”. The media and concept of the exhibition are open. Please pick the work that represents your practice best. Submitted work is required to be in an appropriate format for the display window such as fine-art print, photograph, painting, mixed media, intervention, and installation. Please ensure the work can be easily posted (e.g. foldable, rolled, boxed, etc.) Expensive shipment […]
