Qattara Oasis
Al Ain, Abu Dhabi, UAE
Abu Dhabi Art invites three established and well-known artists to create site-specific works in historic sites in Al Ain, one of them being Leandro Erlich who brings his work Nest, a cylindrical structure made with local stone that contains the glass sculpture of a cloud, to Abu Dhabi. This time taking inspiration from the Beehive Tombs of Jebel Hafeet while maintaining the ethereal, ineffable and immaterial sensation of a cloud, the work is a reminder of the sacred beyond the particularities of faith and time.

solo show
MACRO ASILO
Via Nazionale 194, Roma, Italy
An installation that includes 15 taxidermy animals including wild boar and lions and that was originally exhibited at Galleria Continua San Gimignano with actors who intermittently changed the contents of the installation from animals to metal kitchen cabinets. At Macro Asilo the public are invited on Sunday 1 December 2019 to bring a book to read in the chair in the center of the installation. The immense power of the stationary animals evoke an acute awareness of being a temporary protagonist within the fantastical world the installation creates.

Talk: '2003/2019 Le opere oltre il contesto’
This talk will approach and discuss the importance of the experimental nature of contemporary art in Sun Yuan & Peng Yu’s projects from 2003 to 2019. The two artists recount their attempt to escape from a specific context in order to revive their expressive forms and methodologies that in turn enriches the sensory perception of their art, focusing on the subversion of the rules of reality and the “rules” of art itself.

Field for the British Isles, a work from 1993, is a key work in the Arts Council Collection that has come to Firstsite, the East of England’s contemporary visual arts organization. The work has toured the UK and been exhibited at a variety of locations such as Salisbury Cathedral, The Baltic in Gateshead and Tate Britain. At each venue, the composition of the 40,000 tiny terracotta figures is adapted to the space, resembling a dense carpet of tiny faces looking up to the viewer. At Firstsite, the figures fill the rear of the building as well as the main gallery spaces, evoking an endless and all encompassing mass of figures.

Each edition’s 'OCAT Nanjing Qixia Public Art Project' features a particular subject and form and includes selected internationally-renowned artists from China and other countries to make public art in the designated area of the OCT Project in Qixia district. Hans Op De Beeck exhibits Pond (circular 200) 2013, a sculptural, achromatic interpretation of a water-lily pool that demonstrates not only the sublime beauty and solace inherent to the natural but also the failing representation of it. Loris Cecchini presents Synapsis paradigms and Micrologies VII 2013, self-produced welded steel modules that represent a disorienting biological metaphor.
