ASIANOW (@asianow) is a Boutique Art Fair dedicated to Asian Art and provides an incredibly diverse insight into Asian-Pacific Art, emerging and established. I have the utmost respect for the achievements of ALEXANDRA FAIN (@alexandrafain_asianow) and her team, who built a most successful art event for Paris. With our Art Agency (@arndtartagency) and Collection (@arndt_collection) we are avid visitors and supporters of the fair. Asianow is on view until the 22 October at La Monnaie de Paris.

On Day III in London, starting the day with „GEORG BASELITZ: Sculptures 2011 - 2015“ at Serpentine Galleries (@serpentineuk). Enjoying the privilege to join a tour led by curator Tamsin Hong (@tamsin_hong) to then head to 1-54 Art Fair (@154artfair ) is the internationally leading fair dedicated to Art from the African Countries and Diaspora.

So nice to see you! Art fairs are always great moments of gathering, to meet, to exchange ideas and views, to do business or simply to catch up. Before heading to Paris tomorrow, here a few dealers, artists and other art professionals I met or literally bumped into in London last week.

This show alone is worth a visit:
For her exhibition, “À TOI DE FAIRE MA MIGNONNE” (It’s up to you, Darling), SOPHIE CALLE curated her own universe throughout the entire Musée National de Picasso (@museepicassoparis). By relocating Picasso’s works to the basement, Sophie unveils her unique world within the museum, showcasing her artwork, including new series, and even integrating her entire household and life into the museum space. Bravo, bravissimo, très chère Sophie - an exquisite curation. The theme of Absence, a core element in Calle’s practice, is eloquently portrayed in this captivating show (on view until January 2024), which also commemorates the 50th year since the influential artist’s absence from the last century.
On a personal note, this date marks the 30th anniversary of my delightful acquaintance with Sophie and the privilege of collaborating with one of the world’s leading female artists and contemporary storytellers, Sophie Calle. “À toi de faire ma mignonne!”
If you happen to be in Paris, don’t miss this unique exhibition and experience!

I am excited about the first museum exhibition, curated with over forty works from our art collection (@arndt_collection), opening at SAM (@sam_shepparton) on 11 November. The exhibition title ‘FROM ONE WORLD TO ANOTHER’ is a program and personal at the same time. It evokes the idea of a journey. I understand collecting, my professional evolution from art dealer to advisor & agent, and my travel through the art world as one constant journey. Travel, whether for study, mandates, or acquisitions, fuels my curiosity and serves as my tonic. I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to work with contemporary art, artists, and art lovers. Being surrounded by art—whether in artists’ studios, collections, museums, or at home—is a blessing and a privilege and we are thrilled to open our art collection to the public.

Art opens our senses and minds, making us see the world, and the many challenges it is facing, from a different (the artists’) perspective.

Stay tuned for the opening at Shepparton Art Museum on 11.11. and events on the 17th and 18th of November.

Yesterday, Barbara Moore, CEO of the Biennale of Sydney (@biennalesydney) presented the vision for the upcoming Biennale of Sydney, set to open in March 2024. I'm a devoted admirer of this institution, which has been bringing some of the finest art to Australia and showcasing Australian art to the world since 1973. It has helped transforming the continent into a global art destination.

I'm also a fan of Barbara Moore, one of the country's most celebrated arts managers. With her expertise and dedicated team, she has elevated the Biennale of Sydney to the exquisite event it is today. As a fellow frequent traveler in the art world, I often cross paths with Barbara at international events and have been following her impressive itinerary on IG. We may have even crossed paths high above the Earth at some point!

It was a pleasure to see you in person on Australian soil (in Naarm/Melbourne, on an invitation from Station Gallery @stationgalleryaustralia ), dear Barb! Thank you for sharing your firsthand insights. I can't wait to visit "Ten Thousand Suns," curated by INTI GUERRERO (@intiatawalpa ) and COSMIN COSTINAS (@cosmincostinas ) and explore the works of over 90 international and Australian artists in Sydney.

Yesterday I had the pleasure to receive a private tour of the Hamburger Bahnhof - Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart (@hamburger_bahnhof) through Co-Director Sam Bardaouil(@sbardaouil). Taken by the subtle and fundamental reorganisation of the spaces and the collections, particularly liked ABSALON, ISAAC CHONG WAI (@isaacchongwai ), SOPHIE CALLE and ISA GENZKEN in „A Collection for the 21st Century“ and EVA FABRÉGAS „Devouring Lovers“ in the historical hall. Thank you for your time, the tour and the prospect of an exciting collaboration, dear Sam. And my most heartfelt congratulations on this blast of a start of your and Co-Director TILL FELLRATH‘s (@till.fellrath) inspirational work at the museum!

The most spectacular end to the Day two of Basel Week, the first of Art Basel: Yesterday in Basel at Theater Basel „Glacier Dreams“, by @refikanadol A collaboration with @bankjuliusbaer and @theaterbasel Congratulations dear Refik and Refik Anadol Studio!!!

Bye-bye London, you are still one of the leading art centres in the world. Here a few snapshot’s and highlights from a few gallery, museums and exhibition visits.

On our last day in London, GILBERT & GEORGE receive us at their studio off Brick Lane and give us a private tour to their newly opened "GILBERT & GEORGE CENTRE. An absolute highlight in many ways: Having visited the site on Heneage Street before planning and during construction, I am blown away by the space and presentation: a perfect mix of respected Heritage Building and a state of the art exhibition facility, masterfully planned and executed through Sirs Architects, the Gilbert & George Centre makes the artist's work available - free of charge, according Gilbert and George‘s generous "Art For All" approach.

I am so happy my son August, born in the year of our first Gilbert & George exhibition in 2008 could join me, as he is a fan and has grown up with the art of Gilbert & George.

Congratulations to Rodel Tapaya upon the occasion of his debut solo presentation in London at Jack Bell Gallery in Mason's Yard, London!⁠
⁠
Matthias Arndt was delighted to be present in London for the exhibition opening pictured to the left with Oly Durey of Jack Bell Gallery. The exhibition will run until the 16th of June over London Gallery Weekend.
⁠
Entitled "Can't See the Forest for the Trees", in this presentation the artist has produced a new series of portraits filled with lush flora and fauna, signalling an intellectual turn to the ecocentric, by spotlighting nature as the primary actor in the folklore that fuels his artistic imagination.⁠

I am honoured and delighted for having been invited to join the Board of Trustees of the Foundation of the ART GALLERY OF NEW SOUTH WALES. Serving and supporting one of Australia’s leading Art Museums, is a mission I take on with pride and gratitude. With the recently opened extension building „Sydney Modern“ (designed by SANAA Architects), a state of the art collection, curation, top management and a most successful fundraising efforts, the AGNSW rose up into the international premier Museums-League. I look forward to working with this most dedicated museums team and my honorable board members.

AAA is so honoured to stage Del Kathryn Barton's debut solo exhibition entitled "of her own nature" in the United Kingdom at Cromwell Place. Congratulations to Del for this wonderful achievement!

AAA is so pleased to share the news of the opening of the Gilbert & George Centre (@gilbertandgeorgecentre) that will be open to the public from Saturday the 1st of April 2023!

Located in East London, the long-awaited art space comprises three state-of-the-art galleries spanning over 280 square metres and was designed by SIRS Architects (@sirs_architects). The gallery will present the first UK presentation of ‘THE PARADISICAL PICTURES’ which debuted at Sprüth Magers, Los Angeles in 2019, whereby AAA Founder, Matthias Arndt (@m.arndt), acted as artist liaison for this landmark project.

AAA is so pleased to share installation images of GILBERT & GEORGE's solo presentation "The Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland Exhibition" at the Auckland Art Gallery (@aucklandartgallery)! If you are in Auckland, New Zealand, do not miss your opportunity to take in this spectacular overview of the internationally acclaimed artist duo's work on view until the the 11th of September.⁠

Heartfelt congratulations and a BIG BRAVO to the eighth edition of ASIANOW! With this boutique fair for Asian Art in the heart of Paris you and your dedicated team have created an outstanding platform for Asian Art in Europe with both top expertise, passion and soul!

AAA Founder Matthias Arndt on tour in Paris taking in Alicja Kwade's (@alicjakwade) outstanding and largest public sculpture installation to date. "Au cours des Mondes" (2022), located in the Place Vendôme, comprises a set of spheres, reflecting simultaneity of time and space; the vast installation is curated by Jérôme Sans (@jeromesans) as part of PARIS + Art Basel (@artbasel). A must-see for Paris Art Week.

Another exhibition that alone is the Paris-visit worth, is Fondation Cartier’s extraordinary survey of SALLY GABORI - the first solo exhibition of one of Australia’s most important contemporary artists! Thank you for the private tour, dear Juliette Lecorne, for this subtle curation and heartfelt congratulations to the success of this stunning show!

Meanwhile in Berlin: Sensus Communis is joining CODESS by UY with the VR installation Anti-Atlantis". On view at Halle am Wriezener Bahnhof, Berlin from the 15th to the 17th of July 2022.⁠
⁠The Sensus Communis team consists of previous Berlin Masters Foundation (@berlinmastersfoundation) participant and Schliemann Residency Winner (2020) EVELYN BENCICOVA (@evelyn_bencicova) alongside: Enes Güç (@enesguc), Zeynep Schilling (@zeydepth_2.0), Farahnaz Hatam & Colin Hacklander of LABOUR (@studio.labour), Joris Demnard and Manuel Farre of Ikonospace (@ikonospace).⁠
⁠The group are interested in multi-sensory analogies, memory, imagination, and notions of reality, specifically aimed at the medium of virtual reality while exploring the influence of multi-sensory immersive experiences on inducing conscious realisation.⁠
⁠“Anti-Atlantis" is an experimental multi-sensory installation at the nexus of immersive art and scientific inquiry that unites an interdisciplinary group of artists with Neomento, a leading virtual reality therapy and research group at Berlin’s Charite hospital. For this project, several participants are connected to the “source” via VR glasses and headphones experiencing individual, yet shared journey in ritualistic manner. The focus is on passage through dystopian vision of future, which could be still avoided by joined effort in creating the world we want to wake up into.⁠
⁠This project is has been realised with the generous support of the Arndt Art Agency (A3), Slovak Art Fund (FPU), and Callie’s Berlin (@calliesberlin).⁠
⁠Tickets and time slot bookings are available at: https://uy-codess.com/

Congratulations dear BEN QUILTY: With “The Debate” at NINO MIER (until June 25) you took LA by storm. Such a blast and well deserved success for you and Nino Mier & his most dedicated Team!

What a blast: JEFF KOONS' "APOLLO" a project in collaboration with Dakis Joannou‘s Deste Foundation took years in the making, postponed due to the pandemic for two years. The trip to Hydra was worthwhile: "I have always been "all in" Jeff says and his work is fundamental, encouraging the viewer to open to experiences. A generous gesture, inviting the audience to be enchanted by the magic of beauty - in antiquity and our current time. No detail left out… Bravo, bravissimo, dear Jeff and Dakis Joannou, the commissioner of this new masterpiece! #jeffkoons #koonsapollo #destefoundation #destefoundationhydra #artoftoday #artinantiquity #matthiasarndtrecommends

Congratulations to Simone Yvette Leigh on receiving the Golden Lion Leigh for her monumental sculpture „Brick House“ which greets visitors in the opening gallery of the central exhibition in the Arsenale at the Venice Biennale, where Leigh also represents the U.S. at the American Pavilion. Titled “Sovereignty,” her exhibition there has served as one of this year’s highlights: In a dramatic makeover of the neoclassical, Jeffersonian building, Leigh covered the structure with a thatched roof inspired by a traditional African rondavel, in keeping with her subversive meditations on the legacy of Western colonialism. Inside, meanwhile, a mix of ceramics, bronzes, and video pieces provide a powerful overview of Leigh’s investigations into how women of the African diaspora have been represented across art history.  - Matthias Arndt

VisIting the German sculptor and painter HEINZ MACK (b. 1931) at his busy studio in Mönchengladbach. As Co-Founder of the legendary ZERO Group (1958-1966), Mack wrote art history and since the early 1950‘s tirelessly creates: Paintings, sculptures, public art and site-specific installations, accompanied by exhibitions in museums and Galleries around the globe. He early experimented with kinetic-, light- and media-art and is one of the most important living German artists. Thank you for this wonderful and most inspiring collaboration over the past ten years, Lieber, Verehrter Heinz Mack! I am delighted to see you so well and active in your studios and look forward to our next major project ahead.

"Meanwhile in Venice, where preparations for the 59th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia are in full gear: Curator CECILIA ALEMANI released her impressive list, featuring 213 artists from 58 countries, most of them female artists. Under the title „THE MILK OF DREAMS“, the Biennale will take place from 23 April to 27 November 2022 (pre-opening on 20, 21 and 22 April). “As the first Italian woman to hold this position, I intend to give voice to artists to create unique projects that reflect their visions and our society”, Alemani has declared. This exhibition is grounded in many conversations with artists held in the last few years. The questions that kept emerging from these dialogues seem to capture this moment in history when the very survival of the species is threatened, but also to sum up many other inquiries that pervade the sciences, arts, and myths of our time. How is the definition of the human changing? What constitutes life, and what differentiates plant and animal, human and non-human? What are our responsibilities towards the planet, other people, and other life forms? And what would life look like without us? „The Milk of Dreams aspires to be an optimistic Exhibition, which celebrates art and it‘s capacity to create alternative cosmologies and new conditions of existence.“ states Cecilia Alemani. I cannot wait to see this Biennale! #biennaledivenezia #ceciliaalemani #venicebiennale #celebratingart #matthiasarndtrecommends #matthiastraveldiary
