Whitney Biennial 2017 at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York 

The 78th edition of the Whitney Biennial will be a contemporary art showcase incorporating everything from immersive installations to activism and video games. The 63 participating artists include painter Tala Madani and photographic artist Leigh Ledare. Until 11 June 2017. 

Ángela says “The United States’ most important biennial comes at a time of extreme political upheaval. It’s the best context to take stock of the situation of art.”

 

Miroslaw Balka at Pirelli Hangarbicocca, Milan

Crossover/s, the first retrospective of the Polish artist Miroslaw Balka in Italy, brings together sculpture, installations and video art from the 1990s on.  Until 30 July 2017. 

“Balka’s vulnerable and nostalgic sculptures are in the tradition of Old Europe.” 

Margarita Andreu at Tecla Sala Centre d’Art de L’Hospitalet, Barcelona

With Recorreguts, this art centre in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat brings together photographs, prints, videos and illustrations by the multimedia artist Margarita Andreu, whose work in urban spaces is strongly linked to the Barcelona region. Until 28 May 2017. 

Ángela says “One of the artists who best knew how to work with public spaces and the city.”

 

Óscar Masotta at MUAC, Mexico City 

Through art works and documentary materials, La teoría como acción reconstructs the complex intellectual and artistic career of this Buenos Aires-born thinker and promoter of the Argentine avant-garde. Until 13 August. 

Ángela says “He was the prototype of the Dandy artist,  a philosopher and highly important figure in Lacan's thoughts on Ibero-America.”
