TOKYO Ikeda Gallery The relationship between David Rabinowitch’s sculptures and works on paper is multifaceted. His drawings can be directly linked to his three-dimensional metal fabrications, exist independently of them, or hover somewhat restlessly between the two realms.
58th Venice Biennale
VENICE Central Pavilion and Arsenale It could be said that Rugoff’s eschewal of a general theme has a Whitmanesque ambition to “contain multitudes,” letting the rooms swell with the unmediated voices of the artists, every object a megaphone.

Oda al Silencio: Una Conversación con Ariela Naftal
Apelando a un universo plástico que contempla la integración de simples objetos de la vida cotidiana—vajillas, mesas, manteles, utensilios, entre otros—al campo del arte, combinándolos con cerámicas, fotografías y serigrafías, la artista crea un espacio tan familiar como extraño.
Monika Sosnowska
GLASGOW The Modern Institute There’s a visual contradiction at the heart of Monika Sosnowska’s new series of sculptures (on view through September 7, 2019).

Accumulated Experience: A Conversation with Saravanan Parasuraman
Saravanan Parasuraman’s creations have a sense of raw energy, drawing inspiration from nature and ordinary life in the countryside of rural India—particularly Tamil Nadu, where he spent his formative years. Fishing nets, local proverbs and idiomatic expressions, jackfruit, old-fashioned tools, and anthills all find themselves conceptualized in Parasuraman’s work, translated into different materials and shaped

Seeing What Is Not There: A Conversation with Alwar Balasubramaniam

Art is Useless: A Conversation with Wim Delvoye
Celebrated for his scandalous Cloaca machines, which scientifically transform the cuisine of renowned chefs into manufactured shit, and tattooed live pigs that aesthetically flaunt drawings of Disney princesses and fashion logos while increasing in size, Belgian Wim Delvoye creates art to fascinate people.
