In love with these three🌷🪐🧜🏻

That day I dressed up as an “art practitioner” 🤓 eyewear and 📸 by @angiet.c

The text I wrote to accompany @aleksandr.tishkov show at @tensionfineart is finally ready, and you can read it on my website and at the gallery! “Few notes on #games, #fiction, and ecological awareness” is a mixture of the stuff I like and what they did to my persona over the years 🧩 it’s my personal gift to all those who like to play games - especially #Pokémon 🎁 #ecology #play #leguin #mononoke #claudiacontu #text #curating

Thanks to all the explorers who came yesterday evening for the opening of #ParadiseisHere by @aleksandr.tishkov 👩🏻‍🚀 The atmosphere was lit - literally. Hope to see some of you tomorrow from 2pm for a #cardboard workshop with the artist ‼️ Exploring matters of sustainability and #ecology, the #workshop gives insights upon the #upcycling of a widely used material, to make sure we know how to give it a new life instead of disposing of it too soon. It’s too good to be wasted!! Paradise is here. Come and make #Earth a Paradise again 🔆

Went to #Penge today to make some field #research for one of the activities in the public programme of “Paradise is here” 🌳🛸🍎 I had the best walk on the site where the Crystal Palace was built - thank Goddess for the astonishing weather 🌞 thinking about time, leisure sites and how #nature sometimes is really just an accessory 💅🏻 in the afternoon, I was joined by @yallayalda and Pablo to have a look at @aleksandr.tishkov ‘s work. It was amazing to hear about the development of his process and engage in a fulfilling conversation that produced loads of ideas soon to be confronted by the public. Thanks Aleks and thanks to my fellow curators for such a great Saturday 🧞‍♀️

Burgeoning palms, extraterrestrial soil, wet atmosphere, creatures echoing in the distance, eerie vegetation, astronauts, solar creme, loads of dreams, a planet facing ecological and political turmoil 🌍 This is @aleksandr.tishkov solo show at @tensionfineart in a nutshell 🐚 save the date and wait for our exciting public programme - to be released very 🔜 I’ll be sending over invitations this week, so make sure I have your email address if you don’t want to miss out 🧞‍♀️ I’m very proud of what Aleks is making, and cannot be happier to be working with him on this occasion! See you soon in Penge ☄️

Found myself struggling to fully follow Sophia Al-Maria’s work at @tate Britain. No matter how much time you’ve spent in a country - when voices are postproduced, subjected to echo in the gallery space and distorted by other sounds in the environment, it makes it impossible for a non-native speaker to enjoy. It got better after watching the work for the second time. Subtitles can interfere with the aesthetic of the work, but avoiding any sort of written wording kind of adds another layer of exclusivity to this whole thing. It’s not the first time that this happens to me. Most of the time, it’s not the artist’s fault, but the curator’s 💁🏻‍♀️ Today, it’s particularly odd to experience this language glitches because it happens in relation to @heartleysophiaalmaria’s work 👄 Otherwise, loved the video 💎loved @boychild 🧿 loved @yumnamarwan and loved the opening song - is it the same as the one in Gaspar Noé’s #Climax? Got a certain Climax feeling throughout the whole work 🔮

#FRAGILE I’m so happy that this Summer is over. It’s been a tough four months, which I could only overcome with a little help from my friends 🎶 I feel truly blessed for having them around! It’s now time to heal and get ready to reborn, for a new year is behind the corner. Here’s a nice memory: went to Exhibition Road to check out this piece of recycled furniture made by @aleksandr.tishkov 🌴 Aleks realised it for the London Design Week utilising old crates from the @vamuseum and it’s going to be donated to the local community of Lewisham. I just love the shape of the back! ♥️ Stay in touch for heavenly news coming soon 👁‍🗨

We’ve been into Virgo Season for almost a week now. How are you all feeling? 👁 Are you finding yourselves more resolute, and your sense of responsibility boosted? Working harder than usual? Editing your goals and polishing the way to achieve them? Suddenly decided to clean your windows - both inside and outside? 🧹 Well, that’s it. Now, have you ever wondered what Virgo looks like from another planet? 🔭 There’s a whole lot of things that might change, when we are displaced and look back to something we thought was familiar and immutable. Come explore a brand new sky and what that could entail with @niccolomoronato at the @royalcollegeofart Dyson Gallery from September the 4th! Niccolò was also part of Re: Over everything which exists under the sky, curated by the @gasworkscuratorialresidents so it’s gonna be a bit of a throwback 💗 Save the date! 📅 Graphic by @vendramel
