Opening: Thursday 28 MAY, 18:00. http://www.jozsagallery.com The exhibition brings together and confronts the experiences of artists from all sorts of aesthetic worlds, who are interested in applying equally diverse scientific procedures in order to allow for and verify artistic hypotheses. Artists for whom art is none other than another mode of formulating knowledge are close on the heels of scientists, appropriating new perspectives of applications. "Princess Frog" takes us on incursions into ethology, environmental sciences, political geography, astrophysics, the science of language, physics, agronomy, the physics of fluids, architecture, political sciences, science of information and communication, biotechnology and those who wander freely from one domain to another. With works by Igor Antic, Art Orienté Objet, Florent di Bartolo, Samuel Bianchini, Richard Conte, John Cornu, Eric Duyckaerts, Bernard Guelton, Olga Kisseleva, Orlan, Maria & Natalia Petschatnikov, Société Réaliste, Yann Toma and Carmela Uranga. Curated by Olga Kisseleva. === # LIVING TOGETHER Collective exhibition, at MARCO (Vigo), May 29 > September 20. Opening: Friday 29 MAY, 18:00. http://www.marcovigo.com After its first semester presentation at Centro Cultural Montehermoso in Vitoria-Gasteiz, the exhibition "Living Together" travels to Museo de Arte Contemporánea de Vigo (MARCO). "Living Together" deals with a number of social, political, economical and emotional conflicts that characterise the beginning of this century, and demonstrates that these spheres are intimately related. Invoking the conflicts that bring the broad gamut of present subjects into confrontation with one another, the show sets out to question how narratives, that inform and regulate the idea of living together in our societies, are constructed and negotiated. With works by Daniel Baker, Claire Fontaine, Marcus Coates, Gardar Eide Einarsson, Nicole Eisenman, Dora García, Delaine Lebas, Josephine Meckseper, Mai-Thu Perret, Société Réaliste, Paula Trope, Eulàlia Valdosera, Lynette Yiadom-Boakie and Artur Zmijewski. Curated by Xabier Arakistain and Emma Dexter. === # THE INESCAPABLE EXPERIENCE OF TRANSITION Collective exhibition, at Le Magasin (Grenoble), May 30 > September 6. Opening: Saturday 30 MAY, 18:00. http://www.magasin-cnac.org / http://www.season18.com Maps, models and simulations attempt to render representations of behaviors, characteristics and relationships on different levels. These symbolic depictions limit territories, build systems and imitate realities. Alternatively, the creation of different segments sustains the significance of change between them. The passage from one state to another is in reality not ideally precise but generating troublesome remainders. “The Inescapable Experience of Transition” contains expressions of these as the spatial relations that comprise our world. The project reflects on the convergence of borders and boundaries, past and present, real and virtual, and the realities of transition as a shared framework. With works by Archive-Practice, Art of Failure, Wafaa Bilal, Heath Bunting, Collectif 1.0.3., Alain Della Negra and Kaori Kinoshita, Hiwa K, Société Réaliste. Curated by Season 18. === # KATOWICE BIENNIAL Collective exhibition, Upper Silesian Centre of Culture (Katowice), May 30 > July 31. Opening: Saturday 30 MAY, 18:00. http://www.biennale-sektor.art.pl "European constitution: what creates Europe?", the central exhibition of the 2nd Katowice Biennial, aims at maintaining or even reinvigorating the question on what constitutes the European Union. Process of integration is now being realized through subsumption to one economic, political and social entity. The exhibition gathers prospective visions and provisional concepts, bold actions and weak gestures, sharp images and blurred apparitions, effective phenomena and ineffective phantoms. The project proposes an imaginary re-writing of the European Constitution in order to, through strengthening diversity and multiplying differences, turn the European project into a non-imperialist and all-inclusive alternative. With works by Ēriks Božis, Dorota Chilińska, Alexandra Croitoru, Kipras Dubauskas, Wojciech Duda, Egyboy, Judit Fischer, František Lozinsky o. p. s., Irwin, Grzegorz Klaman, Leszek Knaflewski, Svätopluk Mikyta, Tanja Muravskaja, Ciprian Muresan, Katrina Neiburga, Kaarel Nurk, Anna Orlikowska, Rafał Piesliak, Cristi Pogacean, REP, Dietmar Schmale, Sašo Sedlaček, Société Réaliste, Andrzej Tobis and Ingrid Višňovská.
