‘(Untitled) Radical Objecthood’ exhibition at 60 Curzon, London during Frieze Week

Artvisor is pleased to announce Untitled (Radical Objecthood), an exhibition that explores the idea and meaning of sculpture today through a group of artists across generations and geographies, interlacing nonlinear narratives and reaffirming the centrality of the physical object in contemporary practice. Curated by Piero Tomassoni, the exhibition takes place in the garage of the new Mayfair landmark building 60 Curzon, evoking the seminal contemporary art show Contemporanea, held in the underground parking of Villa Borghese in Rome exactly fifty years ago. Works on display by Mario Merz and Vincenzo Agnetti act as a symbolic link and homage to the...

Carlos Garaicoa, ‘Resistencia’ at Artvisor, London

Artvisor is thrilled to announce Carlos Garaicoa‘s latest solo show, Resistencia, opening during Frieze week on 10 October at Artvisor in London. The exhibition unveils the enigmatic photographic works of acclaimed artist Carlos Garaicoa (b. 1967, Cuba). Taking his Cuban heritage as a point of departure, Garaicoa connects aesthetics to meaning within urban spaces and architecture. Central to his practice is an examination of structures — especially and most visibly those that make up our built environment. On a conceptual level, Garaicoa draws on the web of linguistic, political, social and artistic structures on which society itself is ‘constructed’. Through...

Anselm Kiefer at White Cube Bermondsey

German artist Anselm Kiefer has created a new series of works that conclude the final part of a grand trilogy of immersive and ambitious exhibitions for his latest exhibit at White Cube Bermondsey in London. In this exhibition, Kiefer reimagines the famously experimental last novel by James Joyce, Finnegans Wake, as an immersive symphony of naturalist destruction through the mutation of the novel into a non-linear dreamscape. Installation view of ‘Anselm Kiefer – Finnegans Wake’ White Cube. Photo ©Artvisor ‘Anselm Kiefer – Finnegans Wake’ is an impenetrable work of wordplay, full of puns and metaphors, synecdoches, harsh realities, and deceptions....
