Join us on the occasion of Gallery Weekend *Discoveries, as we present It Would Have Taught Me Wisdom. For her first presentation with the gallery, Cemile Sahin has created an environment in which text and image are entangled. In both the imagery and its underlying narrative, the work It Would Have Taught Me Wisdom draws on Sahin's research into the treaties of Sèvres (1920) and Lausanne (1923) and their ongoing impact on a century later.

NOTHINGTOSEENESS – Void/White/Silence

Bringing together the works of 75 international artists, “NOTHINGTOSEENESS - Void/White/Silence” draws on John Cage description of the equivalent of silence in the visual arts as “nothingtoseeness” and circumscribes nothingness through seeing and feeling. The exhibition is dedicated to this experience of seeing and the broad spectrum of meanings of the colour white, emptiness and silence.

Ode to a Tail is a new work by Anri Sala, a performative installation that is an elegy to the extension of perception. Playing around with the notion of absence, of what used to be but ineluctably still exists, a docked dog with an augmented tail immerses itself into a vinyl to become a living chemistry of digital and analog life.
