# PRINCESS FROG

Collective exhibition, at Galerie Catherine Jozsa (Brussels), May 28 > July 11.
Opening: Thursday 28 MAY, 18:00.
http://www.jozsagallery.com

The exhibition brings together and confronts the experiences of
artists from all sorts of aesthetic worlds, who are interested in
applying equally diverse scientific procedures in order to allow for
and verify artistic hypotheses. Artists for whom art is none other
than another mode of formulating knowledge are close on the heels of
scientists, appropriating new perspectives of applications. "Princess
Frog" takes us on incursions into ethology, environmental sciences,
political geography, astrophysics, the science of language, physics,
agronomy, the physics of fluids, architecture, political sciences,
science of information and communication, biotechnology and those who
wander freely from one domain to another.

With works by Igor Antic, Art Orienté Objet, Florent di Bartolo,
Samuel Bianchini, Richard Conte, John Cornu, Eric Duyckaerts, Bernard
Guelton, Olga Kisseleva, Orlan, Maria & Natalia Petschatnikov, Société
Réaliste, Yann Toma and Carmela Uranga.

Curated by Olga Kisseleva.

# LIVING TOGETHER

Collective exhibition, at MARCO (Vigo), May 29 > September 20.
Opening: Friday 29 MAY, 18:00.
http://www.marcovigo.com

After its first semester presentation at Centro Cultural Montehermoso
in Vitoria-Gasteiz, the exhibition "Living Together" travels to Museo
de Arte Contemporánea de Vigo (MARCO). "Living Together" deals with a
number of social, political, economical and emotional conflicts that
characterise the beginning of this century, and demonstrates that
these spheres are intimately related. Invoking the conflicts that
bring the broad gamut of present subjects into confrontation with one
another, the show sets out to question how narratives, that inform and
regulate the idea of living together in our societies, are constructed
and negotiated.

With works by Daniel Baker, Claire Fontaine, Marcus Coates, Gardar
Eide Einarsson, Nicole Eisenman, Dora García, Delaine Lebas, Josephine
Meckseper, Mai-Thu Perret, Société Réaliste, Paula Trope, Eulàlia
Valdosera, Lynette Yiadom-Boakie and Artur Zmijewski.

Curated by Xabier Arakistain and Emma Dexter.

# THE INESCAPABLE EXPERIENCE OF TRANSITION

Collective exhibition, at Le Magasin (Grenoble), May 30 > September 6.
Opening: Saturday 30 MAY, 18:00.
http://www.magasin-cnac.org / http://www.season18.com

Maps, models and simulations attempt to render representations of
behaviors, characteristics and relationships on different levels.
These symbolic depictions limit territories, build systems and imitate
realities. Alternatively, the creation of different segments sustains
the significance of change between them. The passage from one state to
another is in reality not ideally precise but generating troublesome
remainders. “The Inescapable Experience of Transition” contains
expressions of these as the spatial relations that comprise our world.
The project reflects on the convergence of borders and boundaries,
past and present, real and virtual, and the realities of transition as
a shared framework.

With works by Archive-Practice, Art of Failure, Wafaa Bilal, Heath
Bunting, Collectif 1.0.3., Alain Della Negra and Kaori Kinoshita, Hiwa
K, Société Réaliste.

Curated by Season 18.

# KATOWICE BIENNIAL

Collective exhibition, Upper Silesian Centre of Culture (Katowice),
May 30 > July 31.
Opening: Saturday 30 MAY, 18:00.
http://www.biennale-sektor.art.pl

"European constitution: what creates Europe?", the central exhibition
of the 2nd Katowice Biennial, aims at maintaining or even
reinvigorating the question on what constitutes the European Union.
Process of integration is now being realized through subsumption to
one economic, political and social entity. The exhibition gathers
prospective visions and provisional concepts, bold actions and weak
gestures, sharp images and blurred apparitions, effective phenomena
and ineffective phantoms. The project proposes an imaginary re-writing
of the European Constitution in order to, through strengthening
diversity and multiplying differences, turn the European project into
a non-imperialist and all-inclusive alternative.

With works by Ēriks Božis, Dorota Chilińska, Alexandra Croitoru,
Kipras Dubauskas, Wojciech Duda, Egyboy, Judit Fischer, František
Lozinsky o. p. s., Irwin, Grzegorz Klaman, Leszek Knaflewski,
Svätopluk Mikyta, Tanja Muravskaja, Ciprian Muresan, Katrina Neiburga,
Kaarel Nurk, Anna Orlikowska, Rafał Piesliak, Cristi Pogacean, REP,
Dietmar Schmale, Sašo Sedlaček, Société Réaliste, Andrzej Tobis and
Ingrid Višňovská.
