In November 12th will take place a retrospective of Roger Ballen at the Stadtmuseum, in Munich, "Photographies 1969-2009". The American artist, who has lived in Johannesburg for many years, will exhibit (amongst others), his serie "Asylum" for the first time. The exhibition will be in the museum until February 27th.
For the upcoming edition of Artissima, in the newly inaugurated section of the fair: "Back to the future" Galeria Senda presents Antonio Miralda.
The compendium of works selected for this exhibition is focused on the artist years in Paris (1965-75) when the group of emblematic figures of catalan conceptual art moved to the gallic city.The main piece is the recuperated, restored and remasterised 16mm film "Paris: La Cumparsita" originally realized in 1972. The film has become not only one of Antoni Miralda's key works but also of catalan conceptual Art in general.
It was filmed with Miralda's friend, Benet Rosell and contains the memoirs of the original and ingenious performance, which narrates the story of soldier around the streets of Paris in search of a pedestal.
A document that recreates the absurdism of militarism war itself in a very critical epoch in Spain, Europe and even the United States; an epoch that can easily find its echoes nowadays.
The exhibition is completed by a series of photographs, paintings, sculptures and posters of the war. His work is an exercise of political and social observation. Miralda is one of the first artists to flee from the oppresive space of the studio and the museum developing his practice in the streets and other territories which can be considered alien to the art cycle.
These pieces must be read as reference points of a trajectory that explore the most complex aspects of our society codified with Miralda's exclusive iconography and languaje. A celebration of senses, life and imagination.

Simultaneously, from September 10 until October 2 in the gallery Berlin Michael Haas will be displayed Gino Rubert´s production made in the German capital last year.
Roger Ballen will show his work at Espai 2NOU2 from September 16th until October 30th. The artist, who is also exhibiting his work at the 17th Biennale of Sidney, will present a selection of photographies that depict the behavior and “modus vivendi” of those characters that lived in what he calls the “Boarding house” for a while. Poor workers, criminals hiding from the law, children, animals or insects, become into the main characters of a story that leave a special mark in this peculiar place.
The images, which have appeared through a work process of 5 years in this place situated near Johannesburg, blur the lines between documentary photography and art forms such as painting, theatre and sculpture. They make us question everything we see.
