		<title>Michel Majerus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I'm fascinated by the idea of doing something without being sure of what it will become, and without anyone else being sure what it will become. I will never know, and no one else will know: that is how I think of art.
–Michel Majerus

The brief span of Michel Majerus's career coincides with two major revolutions: one technological, the other political. The artist's work reached its creative peak and made its mark on the international art scene in 1996, when the Internet was emerging as a new phenomenon.]]></description>

		<title>Sou Fujimoto: Futurospective Architecture</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
In an exhibition on architecture it is rare that a building can be shown to scale. Often, drawings and models of future structures must placate the viewer's imagination. It is, therefore, particularly significant that we have been able to once again erect a key work by architect Sou Fujimoto, the so-called Final Wooden House, in the Kunsthalle Sculpture Park—and not only because he received an international architecture prize in 2008 for this work, but above all, because it makes it possible to experience something of the concept of space that distinguishes Fujimoto's oeuvre.
What seems from the outside to be a cubical, basic, geometric shape proves on the inside to be a complicated interplay of protruding and receding beams whose function is dependent upon the viewer's behavior; the beams are for sitting or reclining, or for use as a table or shelf—each function is determined by the user.]]></description>

		<title>Josephine Meckseper</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
American Leg is Josephine Meckseper's first exhibition in Canada. For this site-specific work, Meckseper has created eight self-contained window treatments in the Contemporary Art Gallery's street-front vitrines. Originally intended for retail, these window spaces will serve as ready-made structures for Meckseper's ongoing investigation of consumer society and archaeology of the present.
Meckseper's work unites modernism with the formal language of commercial display, combining mass-produced objects with images and artifacts of recent historical and political events.]]></description>

		<title>Erik van Lieshout&#8217;s Commission, part of Fotografie Total</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The MMK Museum für Moderne Kunst in Frankfurt am Main presents the work Commission by Dutch artist Erik van Lieshout (b. 1968), which he has redeveloped specifically for the museum. The MMK is extremely pleased about the acquisition of the installation, which will be shown as part of the upcoming collection display Fotografie Total: Works from the MMK Collection (3 June 2012–13 January 2013).
The installation revolves primarily around a film set in the Zuidplein shopping mall in South Rotterdam. In 2010, the artist opened a small temporary shop in Zuidplein. Rather than sales merchandise, he offered his customers worn-out articles of everyday use, which he gave them free of charge.]]></description>

		<title>Zarina Bhimji</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In collaboration with Whitechapel Gallery, London, the Kunstmuseum Bern is presenting the first retrospective on Zarina Bhimji, British photographer, filmmaker, and installation artist. Voicing criticism of her times with a gentle lyricism, Bhimji promotes confrontation with the difficult social issues of migration, globalization, and post-colonial history in her work.
In 1963 the artist was born to Indian parents in Uganda, where she grew up until the family was forced into exile in 1974. She studied art in London and has exhibited in diverse international group shows.]]></description>

		<title>Sarkis at Submarine Wharf</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Submarine Wharf in Rotterdam's docklands is currently undergoing a true transformation. The construction of the various monumental sculptures that make up Sarkis' installation Ballads, commissioned by Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen and the Port of Rotterdam, is almost finished. They include an 18-metre bell tower and a 16-meter lampshade in which a spotlight rises and falls to the rhythm of the artist's breathing.
This summer the Submarine Wharf on the RDM Campus is presenting the installation Ballads by Sarkis (born 1938).]]></description>
