 <\/p>\n

Another year passed by and we would like to glance to what happened in the last months. We visited numerous exhibitions in Bologna and beyond, starting with the Bolognese Art Week, two Milanese art fairs and the Venice Biennale. Later we reported on exhibitions in Bologna, Florence, Bremen, Ferrara and San Gimignano. Moreover, we continued with the artworks of the months by artists of different corners of the world and published three artist interviews.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

January<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cally Lotz from Australia offered her \u201cBucket & Reflection\u201d as artwork of the month January<\/a><\/span>. It seems to be a hyper-realistic still life, but touches also other phenomena of art history.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We made 10 proposals<\/a><\/span> for exhibitions in town during the Bolognese Art City 2019 in galleries, museums and other institutions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

February<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Like a luminous island appears Alessia Rollo\u2019s illuminated greenhouses in the dark night. With her artwork of the month<\/a><\/span> \u2013 taken from her series \u201cFata Morgana\u201d \u2013 the Italian artist wants to question about reality and myth.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The SetUp Contemporary Art Fair<\/a><\/span> was \u201cGoing to Ithaca\u201d and the Arte Fiera<\/a><\/span> showed up in a new clarity with interesting outlooks.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In parallel to the art fairs, a lot happened during the Arte City in Bologna. Artists reflected on \u201cExclusion, Inclusion and Disturbance\u201d<\/a><\/span>, others glanced into the future<\/a><\/span> and still others made poetic installations between heaven and underground<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

March<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

With her collage \u201cDoor, NY, 1986\u201d<\/a><\/span> Betty Zanelli referred to found doors, deprived from their original function between Italy and New York. Primary conceived as sketch, the presented image became an independent artwork.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

April<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Dutch artist Tamara Stoffers creates her vison of the Soviet Union<\/a><\/span> in newly assembled images, made out of ancient photos of the bygone state.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

At the Milanese MIA Photo Fair<\/a><\/span>, 135 exhibitors presented wide-ranging photographs from purely analogue pictures to highly digitalized images.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

May<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Katherina Belkina transferred the story of Salome and St. John into our contemporary time, where Salome is \u201cReceiving Orders\u201d<\/a><\/span> via headphones.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We glanced back at the miart 2019<\/a><\/span>, where generations and different cultural backgrounds met.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Later in May, we visited the 58th Venice Biennale<\/a><\/span>. Under the title \u201cConcealed, vanished and reappeared\u201d, we wrote about our first impressions of several national pavilions and the main exhibition.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

June<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Glenda Le\u00f3n created the artwork of the month of June<\/a><\/span>. With her video \u201cInversion II\u201d the Cuban artist reflects on the meaning of money.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In the context of the 58th Venice Biennale, we had the occasion to interview Dane Mitchell<\/a><\/span>, this year\u2019s artist of the New Zealand Pavilion. With \u201cPost hoc\u201d he paid attention to bygone phenomena.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

With his solo exhibition \u201cAll We Ever Wanted Was Everything and Everywhere\u201d<\/a><\/span> at the MAMbo, Julian Charri\u00e8re invited the visitors to plunge into the submarine world and to pop up from time to time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As every year, the Accademia di Belli Arti in Bologna, went on \u201cOpentour\u201d<\/a><\/span>. Under the slogan \u201cOn the Road again\u201d galleries throughout the city hosted the students in numerous group and solo exhibitions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

July<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Before the summer break, we reminded our first six artworks of the month<\/a><\/span> in 2019.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In the exhibition \u201cWhere do we go from here?\u201d<\/a><\/span> at the Galleria Enrico Astuni, Christian Jankowski questioned about the relation between artist and audience.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On the occasion of the 80th birthday of the German painter, ceramist and object maker J\u00fcrgen Waller<\/a><\/span>, we republished an interview, that we made with him in 2010: \u201cThe people did not want to be reminded to this\u201d.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In Bremen, there were four exhibitions for J\u00fcrgen Waller\u2019s 80th birthday<\/a><\/span>, to honour the former rector of the University of Fine Arts in town.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Moreover, the Florence based gallery Contemporanea 2 presented \u201cTim Porter \u2013 Fotografia\u201d<\/a><\/span>, an exhibition curated by the Brussels based gallerist Didier Devillez.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

August<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Summer break<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

September<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After the summer break, we restarted with an interview with Lars Breuer<\/a><\/span> who is artist, curator and teacher at the same time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The artwork of the month September<\/a><\/span> by Ester Grossi stimulates our senses by a minimal language of simplification. At the same time, the artist refers to an instrument of torture.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cMay You Live In Interesting Times\u201d<\/a><\/span> was the title of the 58th Venice Biennale. We revisited the main exhibition in the Central Pavilion of the Giardini and the Arsenale with regard to the theme.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

October<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In her series \u201cSecond Hand\u201d, Zhanna Kadyrova recycles old tiles to create new objects in shape of clothes. The Ukrainian artist\u2019s intervention in Kyiv (Kiev) at the territory of the ancient Darnitski Silk Factory was the artwork of the month<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Bolognese autumn season started with many exhibitions<\/a><\/span> presenting a wide range of different artists with diverse techniques and subjects<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

At the MLB Maria Livia Brunelli Gallery in Ferrara, in cooperation with the Podbielski Contemporary from Milan, Agnese Purgatorio and Francesco Di Giovanni questioned about the arrival of migrants in their country of destination<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Moataz Nasr carried us at the Galleria Continua in San Gimignano into an oriental world in transition: a \u201cLost Paradise\u201d<\/a><\/span>?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

November<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Valeria Vaccaro\u2019s \u201cUrban Platform\u201d<\/a><\/span> seems to be an ordinary object of utility. Nevertheless, the artwork of the month is made of a very precious material.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

December<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cUtopia XXII\u201d is part of Inna Artemova\u2019s series \u201cFuture Structures\u201d. With this artwork of month<\/a><\/span>, the artist imagines a prospect architecture in a digitalised world.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
