BOB AND ROBERTA SMITH
Thamesmead Codex
Tate Modern, London. Until 25.01.2026
Thamesmead Codex exhibited at the Tate Modern in London is a work by Bob and Roberta Smith that celebrates the voices and local community of Thamesmead, London. From 2019 to 2020, the artist spoke to a variety of local residents. He then transformed their conversations into the 24 painted signs, presenting these interviews in a modern version of a ‘codex’, an ancient term for a manuscript or book. The work documents the history and identity of Thamesmead and its communities, records memories of the past and hopes for a future. Alongside this recording of people’s thoughts and experiences, Smith includes vivid, futuristic landscape scenes, similar to the illustrated pages of a codex.

Supernova
Teatro Michetti, Pescara. 07.12.2024 – 08.02.2025
A cura di Massimiliano Scuderi e Elisabetta Trincherini
The exhibition is conceived on the basis of the relationship between the language of Radical Design and that of the Visual Arts in particular, in order to explore the relationship between the projects of architects and designers of the time and the languages of contemporary art. The Supernova is a bright star in the celestial vault whose expansion can determine the birth of other stars, just as radical design has determined the birth of new languages in contemporary art and architecture. Among the international artists invited are Franck Scurti.

Our House
Museum Giersch, Frankfurt am Main. 25.10.2024 – 16.02.2025
Nothing is as private and public at the same time as housing. Having your own four walls is a basic human need. In view of rising rents and a shortage of living space, the question of fair, sustainable and good housing is once again being debated with great urgency both politically and socially. How do we live? How precarious are some housing situations, and how can housing be conceived in the future? The works on display deal with the most diverse facets of living.

Grande Ville
Magasins Gènèraux, Pantin. 27.09. – 17.11.2024
Curated by Anna Labouze and Keimis Henni
Through the gaze of artists from around the world and across generations, Grande Ville seeks to delineate new utopias and coexistences in order to make urban spaces more inclusive, ecological and desirable, while reconsidering the ways in which we live with them on a daily basis. In his series Les Reflets, Franck Scurti takes a poetic and surreal look at illuminated shop signs. Distorted as if reflected in a pool of water, and sometimes disproportionately large, these signs become fantastic echoes of our urban reality.

Nel tempo
Villa Panza, Varese. 06.06.2024 – 06.01.2025
Curated by Gabriella Belli with Marta Spanevello
Through fifty-nine works by twenty-three artists from the collection of Giuseppe Panza di Biumo, the exhibition explores one of the most mysterious and complex subjects in our lives.
The exhibition is divided into two narrative registers, eternal time and the time of reality, which guide the visitor through the five sections of the exhibition: sense (of time), duration (of time), places (of time), noise (of time) and experience (of time).

The group exhibition brings together a selection of more than 80 international artists.

Winding and Unwinding
Fondazione Monte Verità, Ascona. 27.07. – 01.11.2024
In a reinterpretation of the futuristic research idea of Olga Fröbe-Kapteyn, artist, intellectual and founder of the Eranos Conferences, the artists move along the ridge of the relationship between art, philosophy, psychology and natural forms, which is reinterpreted by artificial intelligence. The comparison of a corpus of drawings by Fröbe-Kapteyn with a dataset of scientific images gives rise to the three works exhibited in the spaces of the Bauhaus hotel and a multimedia installation, housed in the Casa Selma air-light hut, stages a dialogue between entities arising from a study of the many personalities who have contributed to the corpus of writings of the Eranos Foundation.

Pansori, a soundscape of 21st Century
15th Gwangju Biennale 07.09. – 01.12.2024
Curated by Nicolas Bourriaud
For its 30th anniversary, the Gwangju Biennale brings together 73 artists from 30 countries. Pansori, a soundscape of 21st Century is an attempt to map the complexity of the contemporary world, conflicting borders, anti-migration walls, confinement, social distance, segregation policies.
Franck Scurti’s project Gwangju Recording is partly based on John Cage’s analogy between music and mushrooms and the recognition, as matter, of all that is discarded in the streets of cities: for the artist, waste contributes to the environmental noise of the city and becomes a basic element of his sculpture.

Worlds of sound.They are as diverse as our perception. You can hear them, see them or feel them.

The electronic works of Peter Vogel, for example, react sometimes visually, sometimes acoustically to the actions of the audience.

Structured in six parts, the exhibition reveals different universes linked to the aquatic world, transporting visitors from the sunny beach to the marine horizon, from the polar regions to the depths of the ocean. The ceramic sculptures evocatively represent the different sources of inspiration of water, conveying its fragility and delicacy as a precious ecosystem.

Like a soft blanket over my eyes…
super bien! Berlin. 15.03 – 20.04.2024
In her artistic work, Susanne Kutter often deals with the catastrophic relationship between nature and culture. Again and again, themes emerge such as the loss of security, continuity and order. In this context, she also reflects on the changing role of women in Western society and the increasing disappearance of the bourgeois middle class, traditionally characterized by wealth, education and culture.
For the glass house superbien! Berlin she creates a homely idyll of icy cold and poetic beauty.

The exhibition is an invitation to observe, pause, and reflect on a resilient nature: plants colonize old walls, sometimes creep into cracks in asphalt, and can be found here and there in our cities and countryside. Oscillating between the real and the imaginary, ten artists recompose a nature that deserves a fresh look.

Freilichtmuseum Molfsee, Molfsee. 15.09.2023 – 21.07.2024
With this exhibition, the Freilichtmuseum Molfsee tackles the concept of “home” and deliberately breaks with classical notions of this emotionally charged topic, which is often controversially discussed and instrumentalized politically and commercially. Home is not (just) a place, but a multifaceted entity that each of us has to negotiate every day. Home is not simply there, but is constantly changing.
