Ser Serpas

Even Better Than the Real Thing
Whitney Biennial 2024
group show

Describing sculptures like those included in this exhibition, Ser Serpas has said that “the act of making is a choreographed performance, of which the assemblage is the aftermath.” The performance begins in a city—in this case, New York, and specifically Brooklyn—with the artist collecting discarded objects that speak to her through their color, the ways they have become worn or torn, and their structural openness to being combined. Then she works with the objects’ orifices, odd junctures, and gravity to combine them into provisional sculptures. This process yields a feeling of potential energy just at the moment before an object’s collapse. The resulting sculptures become a kind of dual portrait: first of the city as seen through its cycles of consumption and decay, and then of the artist herself through the expressive choices she has made.

Palai Penang

An exhibition co-organized by Galerie Balice Hertling from Paris and Blank Canvas from Penang, presents contemporary art in one of Penang’s largest and most elegant heritage mansions – Homestead.

Palai Penang seeks to inspire various conversations – between the contemporary art works presented by the participating international galleries and the historical architecture and ambiance of its venue, among the art works themselves, between the international artists and the Penang artists featured in Palai Penang and, of course, among the visitors.

Homestead, Penang @ Wawasan Open University

Mother, Laws, Matter
solo show

Traversing installation, sculpture, film, photography and wall paintings, over the past two decades Isabelle Cornaro has developed a visually exquisite, complex body of work that engages with objects, systems of representation, reproduction and perception. From this underlying exploration, various interconnected themes emerge: the relationship between the object and its image, the original and its copy, framing devices and frames of reference, perspective and point of view. In her first solo presentation in Rome, Cornaro continues these investigations with a selection of ongoing photographic and sculptural works, together with new forms created onsite for the exhibition.

Le monde comme il va
group show

The exhibition alludes to the tumult and turbulence of current events and reveals the heightened awareness of the present that the artists express.
The title comes from a philosophical tale by Voltaire in which an angel sends an envoy to observe the behavior of a distant people, as the gods no longer know whether they deserve to live or whether they must be destroyed to make way for a newer and better civilization. Confronted with humanity’s paradoxes and his own hesitations, the narrator finally decides to let “the world go as it goes,” trusting that humans will take their destiny into their own hands.
