Congratulations to ZANDILE TSHABALALA upon the occasion of her solo exhibition "In search of my mother's garden"at the Kunstmuseum Kloster Unser Lieben Frauen in Magdeburg, Germany. The South African artist belongs to a new generation that has discovered and reinterpreted figurative painting as an opportunity of human expression for themselves. Based on her own self-determination, she creates self-images of women who celebrate their black identity and deviate from the usual narrative about black women. - Matthias Arndt

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

Meanwhile in Auckland: GILBERT & GEORGE are staging their landmark presentation "Gilbert & George: The Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland Exhibition 2022". Often controversial, sometimes cheeky and always questioning, British artists Gilbert & George have been creating art together ever since they met in 1967 at one of London’s leading art schools. From the very beginning, they have appeared as subjects in their own art and shared a belief in ‘Art for all’. Exhibition current until the 11th of September.
"A visit to Del Kathryn Barton‘s studio in Sydney. Throughout the three year production of her first feature film, Del Barton has worked in her painting studio. While her film "Blaze" is coming to the film festivals and cinema‘s this year, Del is working towards two exhibitions in Australia and the United States. I get a sneak-peak into the new production, enchanted by these works in progress. Stay tuned." - Matthias Arndt

Athens
Before leaving Athens, I could take a peek at the installation site of LOUISE BOURGEOIS bronze sculpture „Maman“. Greece’s major philanthropies „NEON“ and „Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center“ are collaborating for the first time to bring Bourgeois’ masterpiece to the Athens public (30.3. until 6.11.2022). Meanwhile at the Benaki Museum of Greek Culture, collaborating Gagosian, THEASTER GATES „Vessels“ are „sparring“ with Greek and Byzantine Artworks and Artefacts from three millennials (until April 30th.) #louisebourgeois #stavrosniarchosfoundation #louisebourgeoisspider #neonfoundation #neongreece #theastergates #gagosian #athensart #gagosiangallery #benakimuseum #greekart #athensart #greekphilanthropy #matthiastraveldiary #matthiasarndtrecommends
"There would be no artworld, no museums, galleries, collections and certainly no art without the artists creating the subject of our work and passion. Looking back at cherished moments and encounters with artists, I collaborated with in the past or we currently work with A3, who are friends and whose work I love." - Matthias Arndt

The attention to detail in works by MARINA CRUZ is truly exquisite. Through her work, Cruz has continually explored an essential trait found within her homeland: the valued continuum that proceeds from close family ties among succeeding generations. Through her art, she is able to transpose the activity of one generation to the next: her grandmother’s dress- making, her mother’s fittings, and her own activity of painting. This closed cycle of familial undertakings, carefully pieced together and sympathetically presented by Cruz, has become rare in a world that has developed the propensity to reach outward rather than inward, due to the globalizing technologies.

Set against the undulating landscape in Cape Schanck, Tai Ropiha, Director, CHROFI explains how "the design explores the intersection between architecture, art and landscape to create an elemental ensemble of spaces deeply connected to the unique landscape of Mornington Peninsula." Thank you so much to the wonderful team at CHROFI for realising this project for us. - Matthias Arndt

In her latest book, Kennedy stages the bathtub in four series of works, presenting existential themes such as birth, sexuality and death.

In addition to the book, Kennedy has also created a silent film, a series of 200 drawings, a 3-channel video installation and a virtual reality experience, each dissecting the complex code of bathing in a socio-cultural context.
Bianca Kennedy's first book "Let me draw you a bath" explores the theatricality of the bathtub and its many forms of expression in recent years.
Amongst the works we recently placed with A3 is
"Section de Merde Allemand"“, a 1990 painting by JÖRG IMMENDORFF (1945 - 2007). Immendorff is considered one of the most important and internationally successful German artists of the postwar period.
