03.10–28.11.2024: Barin Han Centre, Istanbul, TR
Everything shifts. Everything is being shifted. Alongside larger geosocial and geopolitical translocations of peoples and matter come daily shifts that remain unnoticed, yet often become agents of critical transformation, openness and new beginnings. By exploring these smaller movements of matter, form and meaning, Critical Shifts offers two techniques of following subtle alternations, impalpable variations, and illusive temporalities of constant change – extraction and bias.
The exhibition showcases works of contemporary artists who embrace shifts – whether through material, metaphorical or invisible form– as a method of their diverse practices and consider extraction and bias as internal to any knowledge production. We navigate if by shifts.
Curated by Margarita Osepyan, Maria Korolkova and Kate Umnova.

Design Sediments gathers together fourteen artists and designers who explore the contemporary dimensions of sedimentation and larger-than-human time scales.

26.05–16.07.2017: Casco, Utrecht, NL
After more than twenty-five years as Casco, Casco Projects, and finally Casco – Office for Art, Design and Theory, we are changing our name to Casco Art Institute: Working for the Commons. The title heralds our new modus operandi, presented initially in the form of an exhibition that opens on 26 May 2017. With this change we aim to act on our political-aesthetical intentions and face their urgencies with “working for the commons” as the guiding imperative for all Casco operations.

11.11.2016–12.03.2017: 11th Shanghai Bienniale, Power Station of Art, CN
The phrase “Why Not Ask Again” is a bid, and a query, whose ascending, joyously twisting arc embraces the maneuvers, disputations and stories that contain and encode the turbulences and transports of our time. A listener eavesdropping on deep space walks out of the pages of the recent sci-fi novel, The Three Body Problem by Liu Cixin. A wanderer steps out into the deep time of eternity and the straight path of a police bullet in the terminal sequence of the picaresque Bengali film Jukti, Takko aar Gappo from 1974 by Ritwik Ghatak. They embody the spirit of a mobile triangulation between reason, intuition and the fabulous that the Biennale seeks to discover, transmit, and learn from. Chief curators – Raqs Media Collective.

What does an analysis of these images reveal, and what can we offer in reply to them?
