Mircea Cantor
And 49 others… Ends in 4 months: March 30, 2019 → March 30, 2020 If the city of tomorrow is taking form on the coasts, frontiers and jungles of today’s Europe, then gratitude and hospitality are not its founding pillars. Just as the fact of welcoming the other can be envisaged only because it is prevented, then hospitality today is countered, or even illegal.

15e biennale de Lyon
Ends in about 2 months: September 18, 2019 → January 5, 2020
Thanks to the exceptional Fagor Factory site being made available the 15th edition is unprecedented in scale.

Katinka Bock — Tumulte à Higienópolis
Ends in about 2 months: October 9, 2019 → January 5, 2020

Katinka Bock — Ateliers d’éditions
Katinka Bock
Ends in 21 days: October 28 → December 7
“Commotions” is a project for a journal that was initiated by the artist Katinka Bock to coincide with her exhibition.

Throughout his entire career, from his debut in the 1860s up to his final works after 1900, the Opera formed the focal point of Degas’ output. It was his “own room”.

Henri De Toulouse Lautrec
Ends in 2 months: October 9, 2019 → January 27, 2020

In residence at MAC VAL, Aveta made a monumental work that was placed at the heart of “Persona grata?”, a hanging of the permanent collection which explored the question of hospitality. The bridge is a connection between two geographies, two peoples and two cultures, it abolishes frontiers, uniting and separating at the same time.

Ends in 29 days: September 13 → December 15
Sarah Tritz has dreamed up a personal art show in which her new pieces are exhibited in dialogue with works by 29 other guest artists, a display whose connecting thread is the body as a container, like a box whose idiom is one of its main tools.

Robert Cottingham — Fictions in the Space Between
Ends in about 1 month: November 8 → December 21
Far from being simply contemporary, [Robert Cottingham’s] motifs evoke the world before World War 2, the world of his childhood, as well as many a nod to modern art and its commonplaces — the relation between the image and the photograph, between the word and painting, being one of the great modernist questions.
