Ree Morton (1936-1977), challenged conceptual art and the orthodoxy of 1970s minimalism by fusing elements of historic art, aspects of ritual, and decor with the analytical rigor of a structural mapping of space. Her thinking drew on a great variety of literary, philosophical, and ethnological sources. The exhibition The Deities Must be Made to Laugh Works 1971-1977 at the Generali Foundation will be the first comprehensive retrospective of her work in thirty years, and the first show at an European institution. On view through March 1, 2009 (Tue-Sun).

 Until to 25 January 2009, Viaggio in Italia. Italian Art 1960 - 1990 is the exhibition devoted by Neue Galerie Graz to 90 contemporary artists that, since the '60s, are collected in the Landesmuseum Joanneum.
As say Christa Steinle «From 1963 to 1992 Neue Galerie had organized in Graz international biennials that had as their subjects different current themes of contemporary art. The first of these nowadays legendary "trigon" exhibitions showed works from Austria, Italy and Ex-Yugoslavia - the intention was to revive the historical cultural space of "Inner-Austria" (...) In 1992 - after the collapse of Yugoslavia - Neue Galerie showed in an extensive exhibition with the title "Identity:Difference. Platform Trigon 1940-1990. A Topography of Modernity" (curators: Christa Steinle, Peter Weibel) a retrospect view of this series of exhibitions. The aim was to investigate the artistic contributions of these countries to the construction of modernity.
Alternating with the trigon biennials the trigon personal shows took place, presenting relevant artists from the Trigon countries, among them the Italians Gianni Colombo, Getulio Alviani, Bruno Munari, Mauro Reggiani, Aldo Mondino and Mimmo Germanà. Works for the collection were bought from these exhibitions, too.
 From 1966 to 1992 Neue Galerie also organized in Styria once a year the Internationalen Malerwochen in der Steiermark with artists from the Trigon countries. Art works from these workshops also remained in the collection. The artists' selection for both of these series of exhibitions was made by re-knowned art theoreticians. For Italy they were: Umbro Apollonio, Lea Vergine, Achille Bonito Oliva, Maurizio Calvesi, Amnon Barzel and Chiara Bertola.
The collection of Italian art works from the 1960s to the 1990s in the Neue Galerie stems to a great degree from the above-mentioned exhibitions.»

 In Paris an exhibition devoted to the Recent Works of Michele Manzini will take place froma March 13th to 26th 2009 at the Salon Du Vieux Colombier in Place Saint Sulpice.
Vernissage, friday march 13th at 18.00 p.m.
So Michele Manzini talks about the exhibition «...The pleasure in the image is an important passage in the experience of reality but its partiality can be exceeded inside the adversarial dimension of a figure. The figure is the process itself of “another thought”, with respect to that of classical philosophy, of a thought which moves through literary “images” and concepts and holds together the two “half-truths”: the maximum abstraction of the concept and the great power of that which is myth, reason, analogy and image. The figure as Musil says lives between these two
worlds...
«... I create figures. The figure is an attempt at form that compares the fascination of images, which even if filled with truth shimmer and then vanish without changing into knowledge. My figures contain within themselves polemos, in the sense that they assume within themselves the instability, the conflict, and the otherness without dissolving it, without resolving it. This logos leaves over the charge of these unresolved tensions. Its horizon is one populated by many, by infinite possible forms, open, as destiny was open to the tragic hero before the “many forms which the divine assumes” that are the terrible and stupendous richness that unfolds itself in front of men of modernity...»

The exhibition Robert Frank, a Foreign Look Paris / The Americans at Jeu de Paume proposes a new and original dialogue between two series of photographs. Robert Frank created a new style of photography in which poetry, literature and painting come together in a subjective language.
For the first major exhibition of Sophie Ristelhueber in France, Jeu de Paume will present a number of her series together. Themes such as the perturbation of memory, the insanity of power and the obscenity of human suffering are explored in her images.
The Satellite Programme hosts Mario García Torres : "Il aurait bien pu le promettre aussi". In his work Mario García puts together a personal mythology presented with great formal sobriety.
On view through March 22, 2009.

After an odyssey lasting almost five years as a forced labourer in Germany, and as a displaced person after the war, Jonas Mekas (*1922 in Lithuania) arrived in 1949 in New York. This marked the beginning of his new life, which from then on he has dedicated in numerous ways to film. The solo exhibition in Museum Ludwig show-cases Mekas' wide-ranging influence, his sheer passion for film, and his enduring influence on artists and film makers of several generations, and on the very way film history is written.

In his notes on Conceptual Art, Sol Lewitt wrote: "Conceptual artists are mystics rather than rationalists. They leap to conclusions that logic cannot reach. Rational judgments repeat rational judgments. Irrational judgments lead to new experience. Formal art is essentially rational. Irrational thoughts should be followed absolutely and logically." Where is the difference between rationality and irrationality? Rational/Irrational is an exhibition presenting works by Pawel Althamer (in collaboration with Artur Zmijewski), François Bucher, Hanne Darboven, Juan Downey, Arthur Bispo do Rosário and Javier Téllez.
