During the 58th Venice Biennale, Belgian artist Koen Vanmechelen heralded the birth of the Human Rights Pavilion, an evolving artwork that will take shape over the course of three years, as it travels the world, visiting almost every continent on earth. In 2022, Vanmechelen will present his completed OPUS at the next Venice Biennale, as an appeal to the world, and possibly as the start of a recurring international human rights pavilion.

This exhibition of new projects showcases over 30 international artists who have created works in glass in collaboration with the master glass artisans at Berengo Studio on the island of Murano in the Venetian lagoon. Glasstress Boca Raton II is a sequel to the acclaimed 2016 Glasstress exhibition at Boca Raton Museum of Art and includes new artists and major new works created since that time.

Shamanism is a group exhibition curated by James Putnam that aims to explore a shamanistic tendency in contemporary art practice. Shamanism is a universal phenomenon that relates to humanity’s relationship to art and spirituality through nature with its roots in the cultures of indigenous peoples. Yet the term is increasingly used in a wider context to encompass many aspects of alternative healing and creative practice.

The future is based on ancient times and reflects the simultaneity of every moment.
We are the others.
Then is now is later.
Remembering is predicting.

The Golden Cord sculptures are hybrid works of phantasmagorical, composite animals. They carry the umbilical cord of a connection with the rest of the world. A golden membrane that stretches outwards – the Golden Cord – reveals them to have been born from a change of surroundings. The cord is an antenna, a horn, a connection. The unicorn is always present.
