[The image depicts a gallery space with white walls and a contrasting dark wooden floor. Along the walls, rows of colorful pens, markers, or small tools are carefully arranged to create a vibrant, patterned display. In the background, the gallery entrance is framed by large windows that flood the space with natural light, giving it a bright and airy atmosphere. On the floor, a set of illuminated panels is displayed, with intricate details visible beneath the glass.]

Whitney Biennial 2024: Even Better Than the Real Thing

Whitney Museum of American Art, New York City, NY, USA

March 20 – August 11, 2024

[In an exhibition space, a geometric sculpture consists of several mirrored medicine cabinets, each with a matte translucent surface on the inside. The cabinets are arranged in a zigzag pattern on the wooden floor. The mirrors reflect each other, the texture of the floor and the surrounding light, creating subtle changes in the appearance of the space. The reflective surfaces distort the environment, making it feel dynamic and fluid.]

Long Take

[Three cube television monitors display monochrome black screens with white subtitles. From left to right, the subtitles read: "Expand volume.", "[floor creak]", and "Steps on tiptoes." The subtitles correspond to a recorded reading of a dance score, narrating both the movements and breathing of a dancer, along with an audio description.]

Biennale Arte 2022: The Milk of Dreams

Cecilia Alemani

The 59th International Art Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia, Venice, Italy

April 23 – November 27, 2024

[An exhibition space with white walls and a cement floor filled with objects. On the left of the space is an upright brown La-Z-Boy chair tilted forward toward the right wall, revealing the metal armature supporting its uprightness. In the center of the space further back and to the right of the chair is a white ceramic sink that sits upright atop a brown stand with wheels. The sink, with its basin facing forward, approximates the overall shape and form of an old television. In the far right corner is a cluster of three standing air purifiers. On the wall on the left is a white ceramic sink hung vertically with its basin facing the center, approximating the overall shape and form of an old television. On the opposite site wall is a brown framed drawing. In the center of the back wall a smaller object is hung at the wall.]

Hintertür

Kunstverein Braunschweig, Braunschweig, Germany

May 22 – July 25, 2021

[In a white exhibition space, a green door stands wide open on the right, its swing obstructed by a wooden doorstop of the same color. On the back wall, centered beneath a heater and in front of the window, there is a flower arrangement on a ledge. The arrangement features tree branches with purple blossoms and dark green leaves. On the left wall, opposite the flowers, are two identical objects resembling fireplaces, mounted on electrical cabinets. The wood is charred, with the flames glowing brightly.]

A Conspiracy, 2017

Installation view

Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, USA

[The entrance hall features a white ceiling with jagged, horizontal edges, and three rows of sixteen Dohm noise machines are installed along it. To the right, there is a wall made of a mix of red and gray bricks, with a doorway in the center. Above the doorway, an LED exit sign glows with green light. On the left side of the corridor, a white wall is lined with brightly lit display panels, each showcasing vibrant, colorful museum posters. At the end of the hallway, glass double doors provide a view to the outside, letting in natural light.]
