Ian White | Any frame is a thrown voice
Jimmy Robert as part of this show. April 19th - June 24th, 2018, Camden arts Centre, London. Opening on April 18th, 2018
With Jimmy Robert and Julie Cunningham, Sharon Hayes, Emma Hedditch, Evan Ifekoya and Adrian Rifkin
Curated by Kirsty Bell and Mike Sperlinger
Ian White (1971-2013) was an influential artist, curator, writer and teacher who lived in London and Berlin. Any frame is a thrown voice is the first major exhibition reflecting on White’s work and includes re-presentations of many significant projects and performances.
Any frame is a thrown voice is a speculative thinking aloud about the future life of White’s works, exploring how they may act as a catalyst in the present rather than as relics of the past.
Programmed in conjunction with Any frame is a thrown voice, LUX will be holding a series of special events expanding on Ian White’s legacy.

Ode To – Performance by Jeremiah Day & Discoteca Flaming Star
Saturday, April 14th, 2018 at 19:00, organized by Neuer Berliner Kunstverein
Meeting point: Park am Nordbahnhof, corner to the playground (Gartenstraße 48, 13355 Berlin) – the performance takes place close to the main entrance of the park at Julie-Wolfthorn-Straße
Day has long been interested in the “spontaneous vegetation in the emptiness of the former death strip”, as the occurrence of wild plants that grew in Berlin after the fall of the Wall along the line that once intersected the city was described by Axel Klausmeier and Leo Schmidt in their book Mauerreste – Mauerspuren (Remains of the Wall – Traces of the Wall, 2004). This particular landscape and its metonymic relationship to the Cold War sets the stage for a joint performance by Jeremiah Day and Discoteca Flaming Star.Visitors are invited to gather in one of the last places of those special biotopes that emerged after the fall of the Wall along its former course. Here, Discoteca Flaming Star, for the first time, will present all parts of their Vampire Trilogy (2002-2009) – a work in which the undead struggle with the question of how best to deal with the present time.
The performance takes place in all weather conditions (rain or shine).Admission free

DYING IS A SOLO. YAEL DAVIDS
Museo Tamayo, Mexico City, from March 10th, 2018 until June 3rd, 2018
For her exhibition at Museo Tamayo, Yael Davids (Kibbutz Tzuba, Israel, 1968) fuses texts, objects, and materials (wood, strings, and glass plates), pictures of Cornelia Gurlitt, and performances which activate the installation. Dying is a Solo revolves around four women whose knowledge was not duly recognized and this, as a consequence, forced them to lead lives marked by tragic events and have their memories subjected to condemnation: artist Cornelia Gurlitt (Germany 1890-1919), writer and poetess Else Lasker-Schüler (Germany 1869-1945), Rahel Varnhagen (Germany, 1771-1833), and empress Iulia Aquilia Severa (d. 222).
Grace Schwindt | Silent Dance
Solo show at Zeno X Gallery, Antwerpen, March 7th - April 28th, 2018
Grace Schwindt (b. 1979, Germany) works not only across different themes and stories but also across different media. While in her first exhibition at the gallery she presented a film and a sculptural installation with vases, she now focuses on her drawing and sculptural practice. All of her works are connected by topics such as the fragility of the body, the importance of objects in the construction of memory and history, and the influence of capitalism on society.
feiko beckers: bearable
from January 26th to April 29th, 2018, Fries Museum
The first solo museum exhibition of works by Feiko Beckers (Witmarsum, 1983) will be on display in the Museum of Friesland from 26 January to 29 April 2018. With video, performance, installations and text he tries to find solutions to everyday inconveniences and social problems. The idiosyncratic artist presents four absurd works in Feiko Beckers: Bearable. Beckers also gives a number of workshop-like performances in the Museum of Friesland.
Insensitive to the hypes of the mostly serious art world, Feiko Beckers is a striking presence. With his inimitable logic and atypical decors, costumes and props, Beckers’ performances are alienating, to say the least. He invents hilarious solutions to trivial problems that often far exceed their intention.
