Do not miss @sabrinaamrani "L’essentiel est invisible pour les yeux", Ishola Akpo's first exhibition at the gallery. We wait for you at calle #Madera23 until January 14!​​​​​​​​ For more information, please check the link in BIO.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Akpo also presents his last sculptural works: Erou Kékéré ("Little dowry") an installation of 80 enamelled metal plates that echoes to the 80 years during which Akpo’s grandmother treasured her dowry’s objects. Each plate presents a fact, an emblematic construct or personality of the African continent. Some plates are featured with coins, marked with the portrait of the General Murtala Ramat Mohammed, or with the representation of the eponymous airport of Ikeja in the State of Lagos. Some others, devoid of patterns, open the possibility for visitors to draw their own imaginary dowry.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ @isholaakpostudio #IsholaAkpo #sabrinaamrani #薩尼畫廊 #LEssentielEstInvisiblePourLesYeux #madridartgallery #contemporaryart #photography #sculpture https://www.instagram.com/p/Cla3Qyoo_zk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"The feminine is not understood as a biological essence, but as a form of sensitivity that escapes the phallocentric view of the world, based on the supremacy of instrumentalist reason, in a vertical hierarchy in which "more" is always better, even if it means more misery, destruction and inequality. Ecofeminism, in the sense of “ecois” - home - as encompassing the entire ecosystem and its spiritual forces - embodied here on the Kwanza River, proposes itself as an ascension platform from the female body and the Earth, capable of redesigning the past and reinvent a future that links the material to the spiritual."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ - Ana Nolasco⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "Path to the Stars" is an online exhibition available at @artsy OVR until January 12.

So pleased to announce the acquisition of Gabriela Bettini’s work "El Proceso - mural 4" for the public collection of Museo de Arte Contemporáneo (Madrid, Spain). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This artwork is part of a collection of murals that incorporate the History of painting to reflect on the processes of deterritorialization, deforestation and modification of natural environments, and their impact on different ecosystems. The starting point of the reflection proposed by Bettini stems from the reading of "The Monocultures of the Mind" (Vandana Shiva, 1993), in which the author describes monocultures as a colonial practice that privileges foreign species over the endemic ones and prevents growth and survival of other beings by homogenizing and commodifying all kinds of life. These monocultures are a metaphor for the standardization, common in the North Atlantic culture, which makes invisible and suppresses the very conditions of existence, traditional ways of life and original local knowledge. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The progressive erasure of everything that does not fit the model, generates a crisis of presence which is translated in Bettini's works into the silhouettes and absences of plants and animals originally captured in the paintings of Marianne North, whose profuse cataloging of the Fauna and Flora of various ecosystems around the world included already extinct species. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #gabrielabettini #mac #museoartecontemporaneo #acquisition #painting #madrid #art #contemporaryart @gabriela_bettini_l @sabrinaamrani #sustainability #artandnature #sabrinaamranigallery #madridartgallery #museumacquisition #collectingart (à Museo de Arte Contemporáneo (Madrid)) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIio7IEFmkN/?igshid=1u7ypg6xsmtz

Amazing Installation by @mentalklinik @borusancontemporary #IRL and #livestreamed • Pigment, Glitter, PixelOn the Element of Color in :mentalKLINIK’s Bitter Medicine #02 Today, Yves Klein Blue (IKB), which does not lose its iconic effect, appears as a visual reference point in the exhibition BITTER MEDICINE #02. Developing a different color interpretation in the 1950s, Klein's starting point was natural pigments. The starting point of the color interpretation developed by :mentalKLINIK in 2020 is the glitter produced industrially in octagonal shapes. Having the character of a ready-made, glitter clearly refers to the pixel phenomenon that forms the basis of the digital production model, as glitter is shaped by the effects of light falling on it. IThe glitter, whose color values are played with in a fictional way, are in a constant state of movement with both the light system used in the installation and the electrification they have in their bodies, presenting to the audience a very different set of colors that cannot be seen with the naked eye with the help of cameras. This colorfulness brings the viewers a kind of visual perception bridge, fed by the attractive, striking, digital-color-scales created with special filters and applications brought up by the 8K screen technology. Those who cross this bridge now face a short-term collision of perception as they encounter high-value lights, shadow factors, and color clusters (created with computer-based virtual reality) that are "edited for the screen" beyond normal colors.

For #aperturamadrid2020 @sabrinaamrani presents "Topografía del Borrado", a solo show by Gabriela Bettini⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "In her new series of works, Gabriela Bettini explores the concept of nature on which the mimetic make-believe habitats of natural-history dioramas are based. Habitat dioramas enter into an illusionary play with three-dimensional objects in the foreground that merge with painted scenes in the background. Objectivity and imagination, scientific insight and artistic creativity interlock in these nature scene replicas to produce a lifelike impression of pristine nature. Although committed to scientific realism, they illustrate an idyllic nature that never existed as such. In the late 19th and early 20th century, natural history museums in the USA and Europe turned to this medium that nonchalantly merged science and art and promised a didactic impetus with its wide popularity and its graphic descriptiveness. Many institutions provided hunters, taxidermists, landscape painters, set designers, and electricians with lavish means to conduct costly expeditions and realize the elaborate sceneries. Dioramas, often described as «windows on nature» , are in fact very material constructions. Taxidermied animals are set into a deceptively real-looking natural surrounding re-created with technical resources: rigid in death, domesticated for safe, enjoyable consumption."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Katrin Steffen ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "Topografía del Borrado" by Gabriela Bettini will be open until November 14.

On view now 💥 Guerra Interior, a solo show by Dagoberto Rodríguez, curated by Andrea Pacheco at Centro Atlántico de Arte Moderno (CAAM), from June 12 to November 8. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ CAAM receives the first individual exhibition in a Spanish Institution of one of the greatest contemporary Cuban artist of our times. Dagoberto Rodríguez will present a series of works that mark the beginning of a new stage in his artistic career, which begins in the early 1990s in Havana. Shocked by the recent Syrian War, the artist begins a in-depth investigation of the conflict that the Islamic State is carrying out in the entire region and the ways that the local population has been finding to attack and defend itself from this enemy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Most of the works present in the exhibition investigate the way that war infiltrates the private space, nourishes itself with elemental materials and ancestral confrontation methodologies, in opposite to the western high military technology. The exhibition thus addresses the hostility inherent in the human condition, the struggle as the engine of life on a planet that is governed by relations of enmity, where war, as the Cameroonian philosopher Achille Mbembe says, has become the “sacrament of our epoch". ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @dago_rodriguez_carpintero @andreapatxeco @caamgrancanaria #sabrinaamrani #薩尼畫廊 @sabrinaamrani #guerrainterior #centroatlanticodeartemoderno (à Canarias) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDBucqWlQs4/?igshid=rb5llnlj95jy

@sabrinaamrani • Now on view ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To paraphrase Duchamp, the works could be a product of the viewer and not the artist. Or are they the product of a story, a trajectory or an idea that the artist tries to communicate? And in the latter case, can we trust our personal experience, our feelings and our perception in general, will not change that the artist wanted to tell? We are convinced that these and other questions are part of the art's magic (transportable to many conversations) and we leave the door open for everyone to make their own.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Ver Versus Ver is open until 25 July 2020 at Calle #Sallaberry52 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #sabrinaamrani #薩尼畫廊 #verversusver #sabrinaamrani #groupshow #sallaberry52 #mentalKLINIK @mentalklinik #manalaldowayan @manaldowayan #joelandrianomearisoa @joelandria #aminabenbouchta @aminabenbouchta #gabrielabettini @gabriela_bettini_l #zoulikhabouabdellah @zoulikhava #babakgolkar @studiobabakgolkar #alexandrakarakashian @alexandra.karakashian #waqaskhan @waqaskhaan #nicenekossentini #timothyhyunsoolee @timmyhlee #monicademiranda @monicademiranda_studio #dagobertorodríguez @dago_rodriguez_carpintero #jongoh @jong__oh #edisonpeñafiel @eddypenafiel #edisonpenafiel #ubik @whoisubik (à Sabrina Amrani Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC2ziC6l28x/?igshid=1lg3w0wibjhel
