Malaga's Center of Contemporary Art presents Cabrita's most important painting exhibition to date. 'Cabinet d'amateur', was curated by Helena Juncosa and consists of more than 250 paintings that cover the forty years of Cabrita's career as a painter, from the eighties to the present day. The exhibition includes the wide variety and multiple forms of Cabrita's pictorial work together with five bronze sculptures. It is conceived as one single work, without beginning or end, based on the various references included in the pictorial work of the Portuguese artist.

As a second chapter of the collaboration of both Mudam and Pinault collection, Cabrita's installation 'À propos des lieux d’origine #1' (2005) is presented at Mudam together with a work by Cerith Wyn Evans. Light as the material of both artists' works functions as the connecting theme of this dialog. Cabrita's installation consists of neon tubes on steel elements and bricks, their rectangular arrangement on the floor reminding of the dimensions of their place of origin.

Kimsooja has won the first edition of the Lucas Art Award. The prize is announced yearly by the Lucas van Leyden Fonds to support visual art projects in the public space of the city of Leiden. A prerequisite for these projects is that they contribute to the identity and role of Leiden as a city of knowledge, art and discovery. Situated in a central location, the jury expects the work of Kimsooja to play a role in the life of the people of Leiden and immediately attract the attention of visitors to the city. It is intended to complete the final artwork in 2021.

Focusing on the material properties of painting, this exhibition gathers 28 selected works from the Hilti Art Foundation, by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Lovis Corinth, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Pablo Picasso, Verena Loewensberg, Bertrand Lavier, Imi Knoebel, Sean Scully, or Callum Innes. Eight sculptures, including works by Medardo Rosso, Alberto Giacometti and Henry Moore refer directly to the paintings in terms of form and content. The exhibition was curated by Uwe Wieczorek, Hilti Art Foundation.

"Sean Scully: Passenger – a Retrospective" at The Museum of fine Arts – Hungarian National Gallery in Budapest is Sean Scully's first retrospective in Central Europe. It comprises all major periods of the artist’s oeuvre from early works of the 1960s, through the minimalism of the 1970s, and the compositions of the 1980s built from expressive bands and marked by plasticity, to his groups of works associated with window and wall motifs, all the way to his recent turn to figuration. The around sixty works on display will include monumental paintings and paper works as well as sculpture and photography.

The exhibition is curated by Dávid Fehér and focuses Scully's way to reinterpret the traditions of abstraction and to broaden its definition: viewed from the perspective of his art, visitors can look at the classical pieces in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts and the history of painting with fresh eyes.

The exhibition was curated by Tanya Rumpff.

“Small Sound Exercises”, 2016 by Bernardi Roig is part of “La emoción del espacio” a group exhibition at la Cúpula del Centro Niemeyer in Avilés, Asturias. Curated by María Toral, the sculpture is the protagonist of this space created by the Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer.

Bernardi Roig together with other artists, such as Magdalena Abakanowicz, Eduardo Chillida, Pablo Picasso, Henry Moore or Eusebio Sampere, embrace a 118-year time period. A temporary journey on the evolution of the forms, materials and techniques of this medium. From figurative to pure abstraction. 

Christian Boltanski's "Théâtre d'Ombres" (1987) and a group of drawings by Sandra Vásquez de la Horra are part of "Le Mauvais Oeuil", a group exhibition at the FRAC Auvergne, Clermont Ferrand, France. 

Owing its title to a video work by Clément Cogitore: "The Evil Eye" (2018) this exhibition draws on representations rooted in belief and myth. The evil eye also manifests itself through the evocation of great historical tragedies - war devastation, terrorism, economic disaster - and through the omnipresence of enigmatic, prophetic or threatening female figures who, like the Fates of Roman mythology, seem to weave the threads of a fatal destiny. The evil eye calls as much for superstitions rooted in the collective imagination as for the most current phenomena of belief conveyed by the prognosis - realistic or fantasized - of the inevitable collapse of our civilization.

On the occasion of his 80th birthday, the Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein dedicates a solo exhibition to Imi Knoebel with works from the museum's collection and the Hilti Art Foundation. Among the exhibited works are 'Linienbilder' and 'Projektionen' created at the beginning of the artist's career in his famous studio at Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, Raum 19, where he was a student of Joseph Beuys.

The Musée de la Mer located in the bay of Cannes, in the Royal Fort on Sainte-Marguerite Island, is hosting an exhibition with works by Elger Esser. Esser’s lyrical landscape photographs are exhibited alongside the permanent collections of this maritime institution, specialising in underwater and terrestrial archaeology.

Sean Scully has conceived new site-specific works for Waldfrieden Sculpture Park in dialogue with the surrounding landscape. Over the course of the exhibition, the artist will create a large- scale work on site using local limestone. A series of sculptures up to five metres high are dotted about the fourteen hectares of verdant woodland, including "Sleeper Stack" (2019). As a consequence of the current limitations of the Corona Pandemic, the exhibition project is to be developed in stages. Some sculptures of which completion has been delayed due to the Corona lockdown will be added to the site in an ongoing process between June and September. This way, the public will have the opportunity to follow the evolution of this unique exhibition project, which is scheduled to be completed in early fall. In September, Scully will paint one of his famous "Landline" pieces directly onto a glass wall of one of the Sculpture Park’s exhibition pavilions.

EXHIBITION OF THE YEAR - “Ilya and Emilia Kabakov. “Not everyone will be taken into the future.” Tate Modern (London). The State Hermitage Museum (St. Petersburg). The State Tretyakov Gallery (Moscow).

The exhibition of Ilya Kabakov and his wife and co-author from the late 1980s onwards, Emilia Kabakova, is an inspiring example of international cultural cooperation. From the very beginning, the project was intended for three museums: Tate Modern, the Hermitage and the Tretyakov Gallery (with the support of Novatek). The organizers state that this exhibition is the first large-scale retrospective of the founder of Moscow conceptualism, who became famous in the world as the one who invented the “total” installation. The exhibition includes works created by Ilya Kabakov during the last 60 years, from the 1960s to today.

The name of the project refers both to the mid-1970s text by Kabakov and to the installation of the same name and encourages the viewer to discuss the role and place of art in our life. At each museum, the exhibition had its own structure, since space was a key concept for Kabakov. The artists had several hundred exhibitions at leading museums around the world, while in Moscow and St. Petersburg there had been shows of separate installations. But the project “Not everyone will be taken into the future,” where the artist's evolution was examined from an academic and comprehensive perspective, strengthened Ilya Kabakov’ status of a classic of contemporary art.

The most famous “born in the USSR” artist in the world, Kabakov seriously influenced the post-Soviet art evolution. The fact that his works have been extensively shown to Russian viewer, is especially important today when the society dramatically rethinks the Soviet experience, which received a universal existentialist interpretation in Kabakov’s oeuvre. Commemorating the exhibition, the creative couple donated Ilya Kabakov's Moscow workshop at Sretensky Boulevard to the Tretyakov gallery. The artist used to work there from the early 1970s to the late 1980s. Now it will be a museum devoted to the emergence of Moscow conceptualism and its heroes.
