Beyond Boundaries: Genre-Bending Mavericks
Whether melding new technologies with age-old performance techniques, marrying the classical with the ultra-modern, or weaving text into dance and the fabric of space itself, there is much to discover beyond boundaries. This year, Performing Arts celebrates the Japanese artists whose works have reached beyond conventional expectations of disciplines and categories to define their parameters on their own terms, offering unparalleled surprise as well as true artistry.

We Make Money not Art
The Art of Fashion: Installing Allusions (Part 1)
The exhibition at the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam investigates the borders between fashion and art.

Die deutsche Installationskünstlerin schlägt neuerdings einen heiteren, milderen Ton an, was nicht unbedingt ihr Stärke ist. Eine Ausstellung in den Hamburger Deichtorhallen. - Photography exhibition at the British Library | Culture | The Guardian
The early Victorians were the first generation to see themselves through the camera lens, but the idea of photography, the possibility of making an exact reproduction of visual experience, was one – like flight and the philosophers' stone – that had haunted the imagination of inventors for centuries. - Submission | Pictoplasma | Berlin
an open CALL FOR ENTRIES for the Festival's big screen animation programs. - In pictures: Earth - Art of a changing world | Environment | guardian.co.uk
Pictures from Earth: Art of a Changing World is a new exhibition at the Royal Academy, London, bringing together over 30 leading international contemporary artists to examine the impact of global climate change on humanity through visual art, installation and sculpture. The exhibition opens on 3 December 2009 and runs until 31 January 2010 - Orchestrations | Flanders Today
Raes has been dedicated to the promotion and performance of experimental music and sound art for more than 40 years. He and partner, Moniek Darge, were named “cultural ambassadors” to Flanders in 1997 for their pioneering performances and extensive travels as the Logos Duo. - ArtSlant - November 14th - December 22nd, Galerie Polaris, Matthias Bruggmann
Matthias Bruggmann est photographe reporter, et même plus précisément « photographe de guerre », les territoires qu’il photographie sont la Somalie, l’Afghanistan, l’Irak, Haïti. Ces populations qu’approche de très près l’artiste, et qui le considèrent souvent avec méfiance, se trouvent prises dans d’importants bouleversements sociaux politiques. - ArtSlant - November 6th - December 23rd, Galerie Taiss, klavdij sluban
Klavdij Sluban se déplace à pied à travers les villes d'un Far Est abandonné, où sont passés les habitants ? Il en reste quelques-uns, emmitonnés dans le brouillard, quelques bêtes en fuite ou le dos au mur. À la recherche d'êtres humains, le photographe insiste au-delà de l'Europe, il pénètre en Asie, Russie, Mongolie, Chine, avec le transsibérien, mais il ne rencontre aucune densité humaine. Partout, la géographie prédomine et rend l'espèce humaine négligeable. - ArtSlant - November 5th - January 3rd, 2010, Galerie Blue Square, Doris Kloster-Folliet, John Lucas, Vladimir Sichov, Alexei Titarenko, Alexei Vassiliev
Pour commencer sa troisième année d!existence, la galerie blue square est heureuse de présenter une exposition collective de cinq photographes qui ont chacun travaillé sur des représentations nostalgiques de l!ex Union Soviétique. La première exposition de la galerie rassemblant des artistes de l!Ouest comme de l!Est participe également auxc ommémorations du 20ème anniversaire de la chute du Mur de Berlin en présentant une série exceptionnelle de photographies de Keith Haring peignant sur le Mur et prise par le photographe russe Vladimir Sichov en 1986.
