zurigo, al via gli eventi per i 100 anni di dada. cento anni fa, artisti di tutta europa si ritrovarono a zurigo, scombussolando la storia dell’arte. nacque così il dadaismo, un movimento fuori dagli schemi, chiassoso e folle che conquistò il mondo partendo proprio dalle rive della limmat. In occasione di questo importante anniversario, il cabaret voltaire ha in programma 165 giorni di festa, con soirée quotidiane, il cui scopo è quello di creare uno spazio artistico, una sorta di casa delle corporazioni degli artisti

the temple of dendur today is a monochromatic sandstone structure, but its walls were originally painted bright colors. now, a small section of the outer, southern wall of the roman-period temple appears close to its original form during the reign of augustus caesar, thanks to the help of light projections. for the next month and a half, the metropolitan museum of art is shining a light on a particular carved scene in order to revive the millennia-old building

informed by the satirical novel by edwin abbott titled ‘flatland: a romance of many dimensions’ — the story of a two-dimensional world occupied by geometric figures — turkish artist avdin buyuktas sets his series ‘flatland’ in a surprising context that defies the laws of physical existence. büyüktas has turned the turkish city of istanbul upside down, transforming sites like sultanahmet square, the grand bazaar and maltepe stadium into warped collages that distort the viewer’s perspective of space.
