Every Artist
27 March – 25 July 2021
City Gallery Wellington, New Zealand
curated by Aaron Lister
Every Artist includes works by Isaiah Barlow (NZ), The Cool Couple (ITA), Matthew Couper (NZ/US), Agatha Gothe-Snape (AUS), Julia Holden (NZ), Emily Karaka (NZ), Tracey Moffatt (AUS), Kent Monkman (CAN), Ella Sutherland (NZ), Hank Willis Thomas (US), and Johnson Witehira (NZ). Hundreds of others are listed, pictured, invoked, collaborated with, played, or performed.
Art history is too important to be left to art historians.
Every Artist is an exhibition of local, national, and international artists who rethink, remap, queer, and even gamify the history of art – often by subverting the tools of art history (maps, charts, diagrams, books, the biopic). This is art history as fodder for art making, not the other way round. Continue reading

Gallery.Delivery is both a group exhibition and a performance that can be ordered online. It will be delivered by bike courier in a “White Cube” courier bag to the address stipulated in the order, where it will be temporarily installed.
As the Internet increasingly penetrates every corner of our lives, this is giving rise to a mindset where we expect immediate availability in all aspects of our material world, triggered by a simple click or tap.
Gallery.Delivery applies this promise of immediate availability to the exhibition space and the format of the group show. However, unlike with normal delivery services, the courier doesn’t stop at the doorstep; instead, he enters the private home where he sets up the exhibition and offers the works for sale. In this moment, the process of setting up the exhibition takes centre stage as a performative aspect of the show.

From the curatorial text written by Giacinto di Pietrantonio:
It is only natural that by living in a world where virtuality has become crucial to our existence, the first thing we do when we have an idea is to find a reference, which means going on the internet and searching on Google for news or references to confirm our idea. If we search for “La rivoluzione siamo noi” on Google, we find 27.000.000 results in 0.47 seconds. A colossal number. Continue reading

The Cool Couple. Emozioni Mondiali
A cura di Francesca Lazzarini
June 1 – Semptember 24, 2019
MLZ Art Dep
Via Galatti 14, 34100, Trieste
Opening: Saturday, June 1, 6.30 PM
ITA
Cosa hanno in comune il gioco del calcio e il mondo dell’arte? Attorno a questa domanda, il duo The Cool Couple ha sviluppato il progetto Emozioni Mondiali, in mostra dall’1 giugno al 21 settembre 2019 alla galleria MLZ Art Dep di Trieste.
Fulcro dell’installazione è una console che, attraverso una copia di Pro Evolution Soccer 2018 personalizzata dagli artisti, permette di giocare a calcio sfidandosi in una gara davvero particolare. Le venti squadre, tra cui è possibile scegliere, corrispondono infatti a periodi o movimenti della storia dell’arte, ma anche ad attuali importanti manifestazioni – dal Rinascimento a dOCUMENTA (13), passando per Impressionismo, Arte Povera e Post-Internet, solo per citarne alcuni -, mentre i calcatori rappresentano gli artisti che vi appartengono. Ed è così che si può decidere di scendere in campo nei panni di fuoriclasse come Caravaggio, Duchamp, Richter, o affidarsi alla prestanza di atleti più “giovani” come Wael Shawky, Jon Rafman, Zanele Muholi. O ancora brillare della luce di astri dello star system, come Cattelan e Warhol, o puntare sulla genialità di figure fuori dagli schemi, come Mladen Stilinović, Marcel Broodthaers e Santiago Sierra.

Every breath you take

December 19, 2018 – February 22, 2019
Galleria Umberto Di Marino – Via Alabardieri 1, 80121, Naples
Artists: Eva Papamargariti, Giulio Scalisi, The Cool Couple
ENG
Umberto Di Marino Gallery is pleased to present Every breath you take, a group show with Eva Papamargariti, Giulio Scalisi and The Cool Couple curated by Alberta Romano.
Every breath you take wants to build a path through the various forms that the manipulation of our surrounding can take. The works of Giulio Scalisi, The Cool Couple and Eva Papamargariti respectively investigate three aspects of everyday life: politics, signals/communication management, and nature, trying to describe their characteristics, their developments and their social, cultural and political implications with everyday life.
