Contemporary Art from Azerbaijan and its Neighbours

Collateral Event of the 55. International Art Exhibition – la Biennale di Venezia Tesa 100, Arsenale Nord, Venice

Love Me, Love Me Not is an unprecedented exhibition of contemporary art from Azerbaijan and its neighbours, featuring recent work by 17 artists from Azerbaijan, Iran, Turkey, Russia, and Georgia. Produced and supported by YARAT, a not-for-profit contemporary art organisation based in Baku, and curated by Dina Nasser-Khadivi, the exhibition will be open to the public from 1st June until 24 th November 2013 at Tesa 100, Arsenale Nord, at La Biennale di Venezia - 55th International Art Exhibition

Artists featured: Faig Ahmed (Azerbaijan), Rashad Alakbarov (Azerbaijan), Afruz Amighi (Iran), Kutluğ Ataman (Turkey), Shoja Azari (Iran), Rashad Babayev (Azerbaijan), Mahmoud Bakhshi (Iran), Ali Banisadr (Iran)Ali Hasanov (Azerbaijan), Orkhan Huseynov (Azerbaijan), Sitara Ibrahimova (Azerbaijan), Aida Mahmudova (Azerbaijan), Taus Makhacheva (Russia), Farhad Moshiri (Iran), Farid Rasulov (Azerbaijan), Slavs and Tatars (‘Eurasia’), Iliko Zautashvili (Georgia)

"Each piece in this exhibition has a role of giving the viewers at least one new perspective on the nations represented in this pavilion, with the mere intent to give a better understanding of the area that is being covered. Showcasing work by these artists in a single exhibition aims to, ultimately, question how we each perceive history and geography. Art enables dialogue and the Venice Biennale has proven to be the best arena for cultural exchange." explains curator Dina Nasser-Khadivi. The title of the show: Love Me, Love Me Not, relates to the vacillating relationships between the countries surrounding Azerbaijan, as well as the relationship between the artist and the viewers. It also references the work by the renowned collective Slavs and Tatars included in the show, of the same title.

Arsenale Nord, Tesa 100, Venice, Italy (Celestia, Bacini, free boat shuttle from Arsenale during the preview days)

Exhibition dates: 1 June until 24 November

Opening hours: Tuesday – Sunday 10am – 6pm.

Collateral Event of the 55. International Art Exhibition – la Biennale di Venezia Spazio Lightbox, Cannaregio 3831, Venice

Press Preview and Opening Reception: 31 May, 5pm – 8pm

The exhibition, presented by Chung Hyung-Min, director of the National Museum of Contemporary Art Korea, and curated by Chu-young Lee, brings together on a truly fantastic journey the most significant contemporary Korean artists, who reinterpret and transform the evocative, period room of Spazio Lightbox into a dream scenery. The works on display covers different media and include installations, sculptures, videos, paintings and photos realized by 16 artists.

Inspired by Lewis Carroll’s story Alice in Wonderland, Who is Alice? resembles a dreamlike experience, where the artists create with great spontaneity small unreal and absolutely fabulous worlds. In a city where fantasy and reality at times belong to the same time world, the artworks on display blur the everyday space and time boundaries and invite the viewer to an extraordinary experience, that winds along the ten Lightbox rooms with extraordinary tales.

At the entry of the exhibition space U-ram Choe‘s Pendulum of Secret welcomes the viewer at the beginning of his journey. The mysterious black eyes of the woman portrayed in Jeong-wook Kim‘s Untitled work stir up shadows of fear and desire lodged deep inside the viewer, while the luminescent bodies of Hae-gue Yang‘s Female Natives and the photographs of Yeon-doo Jung‘s Bewitched make his childhood dreams magically come true. In the next rooms Hein-kuhn Oh’s Cosmetic Girl mirrors the curious and restless face of a girl, maybe Alice, while 38 hands intertwine in the ether to give life to Xoo-ang Choi‘s The Wing. In front of the sinister and deserted Hong-chun‘s To Alice playground and of U-ram Choe‘s whirling Merry go Round, the viewer relives a summer nightmare, that materializes in the gloomy skeletons’ party of Du jin Kim‘s The Youth of Bacchus.

Spazio Lightbox, Cannaregio 3831, Venice (Vaporetto Line 1, Ca’ d’Oro stop)

Exhibition dates: June 1st– November 24th 2013

Opening hours: Tuesday – Sunday 10am – 6pm. Closed on Monday (with the exception of June 3 and November 18).

Free admission For press information and images please write to: press@light-box.it

The artist installs in the 700 sqm piano nobile of Palazzo Falier a monumental work that occupies the walls and floors of the exhibition site, inviting the viewer to engage in a path of random trajectories through the space, thus building an intricate perception of the piece. The exhibition, curated by Sabrina van der Ley, Director for Contemporary Art at the National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design in Oslo, displays a semi-precarious, hand-made, construction that combines aluminum, glass, and fluorescent fixtures, drawings, paintings, and photos. Cabrita Reis, whose artistic practice has always sought to create a strong relation between the artwork, space and viewer, emphasizes in his project at Palazzo Falier his inclination to blend exhibition and work space. “A significant number of his works have been or, are being done ‘in situ’. Thus, they embody in the actual process of making art, a lingering presence of several paths crossing, like reminiscences and seemingly banal vernacular experiences; an aleatoric conception of hazard or of intellectual ‘rigueur’ and visual or literary randomness, suggesting that each work proposes to us an ongoing ‘inventory’ of the world and simultaneously a model for its perception. This rather personal and intricate method of ‘construction’, a characteristic of Cabrita Reis’ artistic language is the prevailing approach for his exhibition at Palazzo Falier, a conversation with a space to live in”. -Sabrina van der Ley- Palazzo Falier, San Marco 2906, Calle Falier 30124, Venice (ACTV stop: Line 1, San Samuele) Exhibition dates: 30th May – 24th November 2013 Opening hours: Tuesday – Sunday, 10am – 6pm.
