Alfredo Jaar: Multiple Exhibitions Across Japan, Italy, and Norway in 2008
Alfredo Jaar, a Chilean-born artist, architect, and filmmaker, has long explored the paradox of visibility in a media-saturated world. After his first Francophone monographic exhibitions at Mamco in Geneva (2006) and the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Lausanne (2007), Jaar's work—presented at major biennials (Venice, São Paulo) and Documenta in Kassel—gains further international exposure in 2008. From May 24 to July 3, he exhibits at Kenji Taki Gallery in Nagoya (from May 24) and Tokyo (from May 29). In autumn, his work appears at Hangar Bicocca and Spazio Oberdan in Milan. On September 7, a permanent urban intervention is inaugurated in Stavanger, Norway, which was designated European Capital of Culture for 2008.
