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. […]
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
October 14th – November 5th 2021, Tangent Projects gallery. Opening reception Thursday October 14th, 5 – 8:30pm. The “map of books” that we have read, come from, at most, ten countries in the world. Almost all of these books are concentrated in the US, Canada, and some parts of Europe. These books, and countries, are full of institutions, fraternities of science and knowledge, and Nobel laureates. These spaces are inhabited by white cis-gender men whose names are constantly repeated which, in turn, builds a litany of word power, speech power, and publishing power. These men tend to write a lot, but its difficult to imagine them cooking, cleaning, or caring. These White men who write, think, define and translate, ultimately dictate how the world ‘is’. Lucia Egañas Rojas has a degree in art and has completed a Diploma in Aesthetics and Contemporary Thought, a Master in Creative Documentary and a PHD in Audiovisual Communication. As an artist, she works on collaborative projects, problematising the construction of social imaginary and sources of knowledge. Her projects have been exhibited in many different spaces, museums and institutions. Her creative practices overflow, permeating many different territories such as technology, pedagogy, writing and sexuality. In […]

The SPAO Centre Gallery is thrilled to present Intimate Textures of the Digital World featuring the work of Gatineau-based artist AM Dumouchel, Montreal-based artist Gilles Tarabiscuité and Vancouver-based Haida artist Jaad Kuujus (Meghann O’brien). The artists in this exhibition negotiate between digital and physical spaces, continually asking viewers to orient themselves between physicality and abstraction. The artworks capture a tactile and sensory subject matter, despite the mediation of the lens in two-dimensions. Viewers are encouraged to explore intimate conversations of metamorphosis, belonging and manual labour while also discovering their place between virtuality and reality.
