ROTTERDAM
.- Bringing the maelstrom of plastic pollution to a halt requires us to think outside the box: How do you eventually break down what you are producing right now? On April 8, Dutch art Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen launched ‘The Breakdown Economy’, a bio-based response to the pollution of the fossil-based economy. This online exhibition proposes an about-turn in economic thinking: Not growth, but balance in nature.
You can now make a virtual visit to the online exhibition ‘The Breakdown Economy’ till December 31st 2021. At the invitation of Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Studio Klarenbeek & Dros and the artists’ collective Atelier Van Lieshout present a vision for an alternative production chain. One is realistic; the other is provocative. In addition, designers Koehorst in ’t Veld have created a graphic installation that reveals the growth of the fossil- and bio-based economies over recent decades. The result is an exhibition where reflection, innovative makership and brute force are juxtaposed. In 2017, some 50 or so designers and artists already proposed a solution for the flaws in our lifestyle in the Boijmans exhibition ‘Change the System’. With ‘The Breakdown Economy’ Boijmans is digging deeper into the increasingly urgent quest for alternative solutions.

Exhibition at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts brings together new works by Yann Pocreau


Exhibition at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts brings together new works by Yann Pocreau
Yann Pocreau (born in 1980), Impermanencies 01, 2017, digital prints, 84 x 102 cm. Collection of the artist.
MONTREAL
.- Well known for his photography, multidisciplinary artist Yann Pocreau has for a number of years been keenly interested in light and its many manifestations. The exhibition Impermanencies, presented at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, brings together new works by Pocreau that offer a poetic reflection on time, the cosmos and photography.
Impermanencies is the culmination of an MMFA-sponsored residency the artist completed at the Darling Foundry from 2016 to 2018 as well as a research stint conducted at the Mont-Mégantic Observatory in 2018, during which he studied the universe and its phenomena. The exhibition offers a metaphorical expression of Pocreau’s recent musings and the existential questions that astronomy and an observation of the stars naturally inspire.

The healing power of music

.- “Focus on the sound of the instrument,” Andrew Rossetti, a licensed music therapist and researcher, said as he strummed hypnotic chords on a Spanish-style classical guitar. “Close your eyes. Think of a place where you feel safe and comfortable.”
Music therapy was the last thing that Julia Justo, a graphic artist who immigrated to New York from Argentina, expected when she went to Mount Sinai Beth Israel Union Square Clinic for treatment for cancer in 2016. But it quickly calmed her fears about the radiation therapy she needed to go through. The fears were causing her severe anxiety.
