ANNA UDDENBERG at KALEIDOSCOPE c/o Spazio Maiocchi
16 June – 13 July 2018, opening 15 June 6–10 pm
KALEIDOSCOPE is delighted to present "SPA," the first solo exhibition in Italy by Swedish-born, Berlin-based artist Anna Uddenberg (b. 1982). The exhibition will be accompanied by a new artist book published by KALEIDOSCOPE.
Featured on the cover of the magazine's current issue, introducing the theme survey “The New Domestic Landscape,” Anna Uddenberg is part of a new generation of female artists whose practice perverts familiar forms and transgresses the codes of good taste, waiving the traditional distinction between the functional and the aesthetic, to create a new, disruptive language. In her sculptural works, ergonomic figure/object hybrids oscillate between performative armature and gaudy narco-architecture, questioning function, style, sexuality, and the tropes of female identity as mediated by consumer culture.

ARTHUR JAFA Billboard: Human, Alien
Presented on 15 June 2018
Los Angeles-based artist Arthur Jafa (b. 1960) will take over the 3x6m billboard in the courtyard of Spazio Maiocchi with a collage of images taken from his iconic picture books, also featured on the cover of the current issue of KALEIDOSCOPE.
Described in the essay by writer Aria Dean as a trailblazer who's negotiating the boundaries between cinematography and art, Jafa wants to make black film with the same power, beauty and alienation as black music—seeing the rule as something not to be followed, but rather continually undone and reforged.

NEW WEBSITE COMING SOON
Tobias Zielony, Maskirovska video streaming
And while KALEIDOSCOPE's new website is under construction, to be launched later in June, it's still worth a visit during Art Basel week to check out an exclusive streaming of cover artist Tobias Zielony's video Maskirovska (2017), depicting Kiev's club and underground scenes as the unexpected site where the intimate meets the political.
