Rehearsing Philadelphia
A Meta-Score by Ari Benjamin Meyers
March 25 – April 10, 2022
Various Locations
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Opening Weekend: March 25 – 26, 2022
Created by Ari Benjamin Meyers and jointly produced and presented by the Curtis Institute of Music and Drexel University’s Westphal College of Media Arts & Design, @rehearsingphiladelphia is a large-scale public project that explores how we can come together as a city through musical rehearsal. The traditional musical preparation process focuses on rehearsing as a way to attain perfection, which is then repeated in performance. This is not how we live modern life in a rapidly changing world of social upheaval. The future will be rehearsed, not perfected. Rehearsing Philadelphia re-examines the rehearsal processes which allow people to act together and be empowered to create new realities.
Rehearsing Philadelphia will consist of four performative modules - Solo, Duet, Ensemble and Orchestra. As part of these modules, newly commissioned works will be performed live and involve in-person audience encounters at a variety of public and private venues across the city, including Philadelphia City Hall, the School District of Philadelphia, Philadelphia Police Headquarters, Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, Cherry Street Pier and more. To accompany the live performances, artistic partner and digital strategist Vanessa Newman will design a parallel digital space where audiences can experience public art in the digital form.
As part of the meta-score Ari Benjamin Meyers invited artists to participate and create new work, including Ei Arakawa, Marshall Allen (Sun Ra Arkestra), Tyshawn Sorey, Zoë Keating, CA Conrad, Xenia Rubinos, Ursula Rucker and Ann Carlson.
The project will begin the week of March 25, 2022, and culminates with all four phases having final rehearsals on Saturday, April 9, 2022. For more information regarding performance details, participants and the virtual experience, visit the link in bio.

The war in Ukraine has put artists at high risk. In response, an informal group of international artists have come together to support the non-profit organization ARTISTS at RISK. Each artist has donated an artwork as an open edition print.
All proceeds from sales will help Artists at Risk facilitate emergency travel, shelter and financial support to help our peers gain safety. This initiative was organized by @adambroomberg in partnership with the non-profit @artistsatrisk. Produced by @berlin_recom_art

Pierre Huyghe, Second Law, a new site-specific work will be unveiled at @kistefos in Norway this summer.
Second Law is an entity, a milieu, both physical and digital, permeable, continuously shaped by flood waters and modified by what it perceives. It is simultaneously an island and the possibility of what this island could be under alternate conditions of reality.
The entire site has been scanned, down to its details, and digitalized. In the simulated environment, unbound from physical limitations, algorithmic and biological agents intelligences cooperate. A fiction based set of rules is played out by learning machines that continually generate mutations of existing features, such as trees, trash, animals or humans.
The mutations change behaviours in real time according to external factors, accelerating their growth with the flood water, and transforming over the years. At times they randomly exit the simulation to manifest themselves physically on the actual island.
They sustain or decompose, modifying the island’s appearance and progressively contaminate the existing reality with another possibility of itself.
At the far end of the forest stands a screen where an autonomous eye navigates the simulated environment, witnessing its ever-changing nature.

We're taking part in @index_berlin Sunday Open today, 12–6pm, with @jacleirner's Us Horizon which has just opened!
Us Horizon includes a new work from Leirner’s acclaimed series constructed from ensembles of plastic shopping bags, and a new installation made of found numbered markers. Her conceptually rigorous and formally beautiful works draw on a wide array of art historical and formal influences, as well as embracing the transgressive legacies of Dada, Constructivism, Pop and Conceptual Art, Arte Povera, and Punk, among others.

On the occasion of the 59th La Biennale di Venezia, the Scuola Grande di San Giovanni Evangelista will host a major solo exhibition of work by Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone, entitled "burn shine fly." Curated by Javier Molins, "burn shine fly" will be on view from April 20 to September 17, 2022.
www.burnshinefly.com
“The sculptures in ‘burn shine fly’ are natural growths out of a loam of perception and feeling I had of the Scuola Grande di San Giovanni Evangelista. The work aims to coax the sublime from the subliminal. The work should dazzle us and send us into a deep reflection about the marvels and mysteries of life.” — Ugo Rondinone
The exhibition “burn shine fly” is produced with the support of the following partner galleries: Galerie Eva Presenhuber, Zurich; Esther Schipper, Berlin; Sadie Coles HQ, London; Gladstone, New York; kamel mennour, Paris; Kukje Gallery, Seoul.

Fragile! Alles aus Glas with Isa Melsheimer (@concrete_society) and Karin Sander (@karin_sander) at Kunsthalle Vogelmann @museenheilbronn, through May 15, 2022.
Glass has fascinated us since its discovery. Crystalline and viscous, fragile and resistant, it is a material that seduces as much as it repels and is immensely challenging in terms of craftsmanship and artistry. For centuries, the translucent material has been surrounded by legends, myths and metaphors. In a multi-faceted tour, this exhibition focuses on the emancipation of the material in sculpture that began at the beginning of the 20th century. The "Cult of the Crystalline" and thus Bruno Taut's Glass House (1914) become just as vivid as the visionary architectural fantasies of the "Glass Chain" around Hermann Finsterlin, Wenzel Hablik or Hans Scharoun. But ornamental and utility glass also struggles for the ornament-free sculptural form and presents itself in the designs of "all-rounders" such as Peter Behrens, Richard Riemerschmid, Josef Hoffmann or Wilhelm Wagenfeld, among others.
