• The 5th Auckland Triennial / Auckland Museum / Auckland +

  The 5th Auckland Triennial opens in May at Auckland Art Gallery and seven additional sites, extending the Triennial’s reach across Auckland. Led by renowned curator Hou Hanru, If you were to live here... includes work by more than 35 New Zealand and international artists, collectives and architects. Previously curator of major biennials including Lyon, Istanbul, and Guangzhou, Hou has invited artists to respond to the diverse cultural, social, architectural and urban characteristics of Auckland. ‘A triennial,’ he says, ‘is a space for producing new aesthetic forms and social spaces. It is not only an occasion to see art, but an interaction between artists, people and the city to envisage possible futures.’

• XL: 19 New Acquisitions in Photography / MOMA / New York +

  This exhibition offers a critical assessment of photography’s influential role in contemporary art through a selection of recent major acquisitions, comprised primarily of multipart and serial works by 19 artists. These works—each of which is being presented at MoMA for the first time—are grounded in diverse photographic traditions, suggesting the creative fertility of the medium from 1960 to today. They range from postwar experiments with darkroom processes, such as photograms and photomontages; to 1970s feminist performances conceived for the camera; to political and documentary engagements with themes of labor history and globalization in the 1980s; to post-appropriative forms of archival and historical reconstitution since 2000. The cross-generational group of 19 international artists features Yto Barrada, Phil Collins, Liz Deschenes, Stan Douglas, VALIE EXPORT, Robert Frank, Paul Graham, Leslie Hewitt, Birgit Jürgenssen, Jürgen Klauke, Bela Kolářová, Lynn Hershman Leeson, Dóra Maurer, Oscar Muñoz, Mariah Robertson, Allan Sekula, Stephen Shore, Taryn Simon and Hank Willis Thomas. Galleries 1–4 open May 10; gallery 5 opens August 23 The exhibition is organized by Roxana Marcoci, Curator, Sarah Meister, Curator, and Eva Respini, Associate Curator, Department of Photography.

• Artists' Film Club:Travelling (Part 1 and Part 2) / Hand Me Downs / Institute of Contemporary Arts / London / Grande Bretagne
• ROLL OVER. REFLECTIONS ON DOCUMENTARY, AFTER RICHARD LEACOCK / TEMPORARY GALLERY / Köln +

  YTO BARRADA + DUNCAN CAMPBELL + JAN DIETVORST / ROY VILLEVOYE + LUKE FOWLER / ANNA MCLAUCHLAN + RICHARD LEACOCK + FERNANDO SÁNCHEZ CASTILLO + HIROFUMI SUDA , "Roll Over" is a tribute to the lifelong commitment to the development of cinematography by British-American filmmaker Richard Leacock (London 1921-2011 Paris). His aspiration to get closer to reality and the methodology he developed to accomplish this aim, influenced filmography as we know it today. This exposition wants to bring forth new understandings of documentary in it’s capacity to shape the world. Video and "Final Cut Pro" are a few of the inventions that have made film accessible to a wider public. Still, the basic concerns of a documentary filmmaker haven’t fundamentally changed since film was born: Do I or do I not make a story. How can I get closer to the subject I’m interested in and how to reveal circumstances that have gone unnoticed before. How do I express ideas. Two rare films by Richard Leacock will be shown alongside recent works by contemporary artists Yto Barrada (*1971, FR/MA), Duncan Campbell (*1972, IE), Jan Dietvorst (*1953, NL) & Roy Villevoye (*1960, NL), Luke Fowler (*1978, UK), Fernando Sánchez Castillo (*1970, ES) and Hirofumi Suda (*1978, JP). Their films are inquisitive, but not informative. Some of them defy their own nature, introducing fictional elements in a non-fiction setting. Others include footage of events that took place when the filmmaker was still a child, or before he or she was even born. In all cases, sequences have been gathered, classified and shaped into a form open to numerous interpretations.

• When Attitudes Became Form Become Attitudes / Museum of Contemporary Art / Detroit +

  Harald Szeemann’s 1969 exhibition has become one of the most legendary shows of the recent past. While the exhibition has since been discussed, researched and examined in a wide range of essays, books and conferences, an investigation into its history and impact has never before been realized in the format of an exhibition. The Wattis’s exhibition will take on the history and the myths around When Attitudes Become Form by bringing together a large group of international contemporary artists that follow, in a number of ways, the legacy of Conceptual art. Just as the original exhibition allowed for a diversity in material approaches, artistic voice, and process, When Attitudes Became Form Become Attitudes includes a diverse array of contemporary artists who continue to work within a similarly experimental and expansive approach. As When Attitudes Became Form Become Attitudes considers When Attitudes Become Form as a living past, enlivening and re-imagining its legacy in the current moment, the contemporary artworks will be presented alongside historical documents and representations of Szeemann’s original exhibition. When Attitudes Became Form Become Attitudes has been curated by Jens Hoffmann and organized by the CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts. Artists include: Yto Barrada - Claire Fontaine - Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset - Ryan Gander - Emily Jacir - Roman Ondák - Fernando Ortega - Pratchaya Phinthong - Pablo Rasgado -Tino Sehgal- Sean Snyder- Mark Soo - Jan Timme - Guido van der Werve ...

• « Faces à faces » : soirée d’art contemporain à l’Auditorium du Louvre / Beau geste : Yto Barrada, artiste, en conversation avec Nadia Tazi, philosophe, et Marie Muracciole, critique d’art et commissaire d’exposition / Le Louvre / Paris +

  Beau geste : Yto Barrada, artiste, en conversation avec Nadia Tazi, philosophe, et Marie Muracciole, critique d’art et commissaire d’exposition Yto Barrada vit et travaille à Tanger, au Maroc. Dans une série de photographies réalisée en 1999, Le Projet du Détroit, elle abordait les effets des accords de Schengen sur les habitants et les passagers de cette ville vouée au départ vers l'Europe. Depuis, ses photographies, ses films, ses livres et ses sculptures investissent l’espace qu'ils ouvrent entre l’histoire établie et les multiples «histoires » que le présent produit. Le film Beau Geste et le livre A Guide To Trees, pointent les revêtements idéologiques de l’urbanisme et les rôles absurdes que la nature endosse dans la représentation du pouvoir. À partir de ces deux œuvres, cette séance interrogera les résurgences de l’orientalisme et de ses dérives folkloriques dans une modernité parfois traitée comme un décor.

• RIFFS / FOTOMUSEUM WINTERTHUR / Winterthur
• Light from the Middle East / Victoria and Albert Museum / London +

  Light from the Middle East: New Photography presents work by artists from across the Middle East (spanning North Africa to Central Asia), living in the region and in diaspora. The exhibition explores the ways in which these artists investigate the language and techniques of photography. Some use the camera to record or bear witness, while others subvert that process to reveal how surprisingly unreliable a photograph can be. The works range from documentary photographs and highly staged tableaux to images manipulated beyond recognition. The variety of approaches is appropriate to the complexities of a vast and diverse region. Light from the Middle East is divided into three sections, Recording, Reframing and Resisting, each of which focuses on a different approach to the medium of photography.

  Barrada is Deutsche Bank’s Artist of the Year 2011 - the award yearly given to young artists distinguished for their work’s significance and creativity that is part of the cultural and artistic activities the Institute promotes internationally. “It is important to create situations where people meet with different cultures and social realities” says Friedhelm Hütte, Deutsche Bank’s Global Head of Art for Deutsche Bank, “In this sense, to name Yto Barrada as Deutsche Bank’s Artist of the Year 2011 is exemplary.” Bartolomeo Pietromarchi, Director of MACRO, adds: “Barrada is an artist extremely attentive to the human dramas of our time. Visitors to the exhibition can take a personal journey inside a little-known history feeling as if it was never read before”. The exhibition – curated by Friedhelm Hütte and independent curator Marie Muracciole – travelled from the Guggenheim in Berlin to WIELS in Brussels, the Renaissance Society in Chicago and the Ikon Gallery in Birmingham, and will be at MACRO from September 20th to November 11th, 2012 with an installation conceived for the museum’s spaces. The exhibition will continue its tour to the Fotomuseum Winterthur in Zurich. The title of the show, RIFFS, has multiple references: Riffs recalls the Rif mountains, in Northern Morocco, where in 1921 a historic revolt took place. It also refers to the Cinema Rif, home of the Cinémathèque de Tanger, of which the artist is the founding director. Above all, the title of the show refers to the musical term “riff”, a phrase of music frequently repeated in a composition, a concept that inspires the artist’s presentation of her works and the show’s layout. The frame of Yto Barrada’s work is her city, Tangier, strongly transformed after the Schengen Agreement in 1991, which the artists analyzes in terms of both past and current consequences. “The artist investigates history’s forgotten versions, the world behind the scenes, shadows in the evolution of her country. Ordinary people, neighborhoods and places of everyday life and “touristic” stereotypes play a fundamental role in front of the camera of the artist. Yto Barrada’s strategy combines a documentaristic approach with an almost meditative use of images, to tell what North Africa is, with its currently changing economic, cultural and political boundaries”, says Marie Muracciole. The show at MACRO, which opens in conjunction with FOTOGRAFIA - Festival Internazionale di Roma, includes photographs, printed material, sculptures and videos; a program of film screenings from the Cinémathèque de Tanger will be shown at the MACRO’s conference room. The Cinémathèque, founded in 2003 as a non-profit association, is an important cultural reality, the first of its kind in North Africa. Its mission is to develop film culture in Morocco through the promotion of foreign as well as local cinema, the production of documentaries, narrative films, artists’ videos and experimental films, with particular attention given to educational activities and to the promotion of a dialogue among professionals. Yto Barrada will also participate in the FOTOGRAFIA with several pieces shown in “Work” the section curated by Marco Delogu which gathers works by photographers such as Roger Ballen, Claire Chevrier, Raphaël Dallaporta, Joseph Koudelka, Chris Killip, Fosco Maraini, Edgar Martins, Nina Poppe, Simon Roberts, Lars Tunbjörk and Florian van Roekel.

  Okwui Enwezor,commissaire général Yto Barrada présentera le film Hand-Me-Downs qui est un montage de séquences de films de famille des années 1960, réalisé à partir de transferts d’images d’époque, du super 8 vers le digital. Yto Barrada s’approprie ces vidéos amateures et ces souvenirs de famille pour évoquer la mémoire collective. Le film semble raconter des mythes de ce proche passé, fondés sur des narrateurs inconnus et des histoires impossibles à vérifier. Yto Barrada fait partie de cette génération d’artistes internationaux dont le travail interroge le contexte social et politique en même temps qu’il se construit par un vocabulaire original et critique. Elle a étudié les sciences politiques à la Sorbonne, à Paris, et la photographie à l’International Centre of Photography, de New York avant de créer la Cinémathèque de Tanger en 2005, un espace-projet qui agit comme une véritable proposition critique au Maroc. L’environnement est au cœur de ses problématiques. Dans A Modest Proposal (une proposition modeste), son regard témoigne des transformations et de l’uniformisation de la ville de Tanger par l’expansion des projets immobiliers au détriment de l’écologie sociale et naturelle. Le paysage se fait porteur des cicatrices d’actions diverses, officielles ou clandestines, révélatrices de la situation politique du pays. N’hésitant pas à utiliser les outils et objets destinés à l’éducation des enfants, l’artiste inscrit la dimension pédagogique au sein même de son vocabulaire artistique. Les techniques de pliage ou de puzzle complètent ses photographies et vidéos. Son travail est largement collectionné par les musées et fut exposé au Jeu de paume (Paris) et à la Biennale de Venise en 2007 et 2011.

  he Serpentine Gallery Garden Marathon is the sixth in the Gallery’s acclaimed Marathon series. This two-day event is an exploration of the concept of the garden.

• Mapping Subjectivity: Experimentation in Arab Cinema from the 1960s to Now, Part II / The Museum of Modern Art / New York +

  THE SECOND EDITION OF RARELY EXHIBITED WORKS BY MASTER AND EMERGING FILMMAKERS FROM THE ARAB WORLD PREMIERES. Many of the filmmakers are present for dialogue with the audience following the screenings. Beginning October 5, the second installment of the film series Mapping Subjectivity: Experimentation in Arab Cinema from the 1960s to Now premieres in The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters at MoMA. The works selected for the second part of the series hail from Algeria, Egypt, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine, Syria, Tunisia, Qatar, and the UAE, and reflect a diversity of voices and a richness of imaginative visual languages. Beginning with Lakhdar Hamina's majestic The Chronicle of the Years of Embers (1975), an epic tale of sons and daughters forging their destiny and struggling for liberation from colonial rule, this film series aims to map a largely unknown heritage of personal, artistic, and sometimes experimental cinema from the Arab world. From the 1960s onward, Middle Eastern filmmakers and artists have used existing footage—whether found or borrowed from television, cinema, or public or personal archives—to create montages and forge visual narratives that are profoundly daring, innovative, and subjective. Several of the films here achieve this through personal histories constructed in the first-person singular, such as Akram Zaatari's Al-Yaom (This Day) (2003), a voyage through geography and memory based on the circulation of images in the Arab world; Yto Barrada's Hand-Me-Downs (2011), the filmmaker's exploration into her family history, recounting 16 myths based on unreliable narrators and unverifiable stories; and Hakim Belabbes's Ashlaa (In Pieces) (2009), an unflinchingly intimate chronicle of the filmmaker's family in Morocco, made from footage collected over more than a decade. Audiovisual archives are a repository and chronicle of memories and lived moments, and are therefore as much a part of the fabric of collective imagination as cinema. Rania Stephan's film Ikhtifa'aat Soad Hosni el-Thalaathat (The Three Disappearances of Soad Hosni) (2011) is a rapturous homage to a rich and versatile era of film production in Egypt, constructed from the work of one of its most revered stars, Soad Hosni. Néjib Belkadhi's VHS Kahloucha (2006) tells the story of an ordinary man's appropriation of film classics, while Ali Essafi's Ouarzazate, the Movie (2001) uncovers the alternate reality of film production on location. Mohamed Soueid's Tango el-Amal (Tango of Yearning) (1998) is a cinephile's poetic elegy to film and Beirut's movie theaters, pieced together from memories and traces of a city undergoing a radical transformation. Mohamed Soueid will also present his lecture-performance Written in the Dust on October 17 as part of the Museum's weekly showcase for innovation in film Modern Mondays. Tales of sons with dreams for a better life—building their destinies and enduring a rupture between generations—inspired a number of the films, including Ahmed el-Maânouni's Alyam! Alyam! (Oh the Days!) (1978), the story of a young peasant whose dreams of a prosperous future lead him to apply for immigration to France, and Oussama Mohammad's Nujum an-Nahar (Stars in Broad Daylight) (1988), a tale of a double wedding, where one bride runs off in the middle of her wedding and the other refuses to get married. Mapping Subjectivity, Part II, is co-organized by The Museum of Modern Art and ArteEast, and presented in association with the Abu Dhabi Film Festival. On October 13, Glenn Lowry, Director of The Museum of Modern Art moderates Archives, Appropriation, and Montage: Rewriting History and the Personal in Arab Film, a roundtable discussion between filmmakers, artists, and scholars considering the use of found footage to illustrate various perspectives in Middle Eastern film.

  With Annette Messager, Moyra Davey, Amar Kanwar, David Goldblatt, Jeff Wall, Gerard Byrne, Yto Barrada,Bouchra Khalili, Steve McQueen,Christophe Keller, Pierre Huyghe. Une proposition de Marie Muracciole Vous avez été là - cette exposition réunit un ensemble d’œuvres autour de l’idée du départ. Certaines sont liées au simple passage d’un lieu à un autre ou d’un temps à un autre. D’autres se réfèrent à des transformations de l’existence, à la fin d’une histoire ou d’une croyance. Chacune figure à sa manière l’énergie et la perte que génèrent les changements de trajectoires, les choix, les séparations. Le titre renvoie à une vision fugitive, ou plus analytique, des distances parcourues ou imaginées, des ruptures et des métamorphoses accomplies. Onze artistes aux pratiques distinctes et issus de générations et de contextes différents, se rencontrent autour d’un dénominateur commun momentané qui est la figure du départ ou celle de la bifurcation. Cartographies, relevés transitoires, constellations fictives, représentations de l'attente ou de la séparation, ces images ne peuvent former une seule histoire et se prêtent aux déplacements de l'imaginaire. Elles ne se ressemblent pas et ne se complètent pas. Elles ne proposent pas de cohésion formelle ou idéologique. Leur présence ici ouvre des territoires et des dérivations possibles, et invite à y circuler à notre tour.

  Yto Barrada in a residency at L’appartement 22 from 15 December 2009 to 14 February 2010. "YTO BARRADA’S PALM PROJECT LOOKS AT THE MARKETING OF MOROCCO AND THE HOMOGENIZATION OF THE COUNTRY’S URBAN AND BOTANICAL LANDSCAPE. THE PROJECT ALSO ASSESSES THE STATUS OF THE PALM TREE, THAT ICON OF EXOTICISM AND SELF-FOLKLORIZATION. ANY SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THE PLANTS DISCUSSED AND MOROCCAN SUBJECTS LIVING OR DEAD ARE PURELY COINCIDENTAL" Palm Project by Yto Barrada incorporates photography, video, archive and interventions.
