Animal Farm

Musuem Rijswijk, Netherlands

The theme of the Paper Biennale 2024 is ‘Animal Farm. All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others,’ based on George Orwell’s book of the same title, which was published in 1945. This fable by Orwell is a satirical allegory and the starting point for contemporary artists to reflect on the relationship between humans and animals.

Manjot Kaur Cape Town Art Fair

Of Love and Longing 
16 - 18 Feb 2024

INVESTEC Cape Town Art Fair, South Africa

Gallery Caroline O'Breen

Amsterdam

​With this solo presentation, the artist Manjot Kaur proposes alternatives to the binary of nature and culture, considering more fluid ways of thinking and living about complexities and contradictions of coexistence. Manjot Kaur’s work cross-pollinates ancient mythologies and precarious ecologies with fiction and speculation, showing transforming entities and alternative environmental horizons. Hailing from the rich tradition of Indian Miniature, the intimate paintings in gouache and watercolor on paper hybridize old narrations with new identities, conveying questions of relationality, reciprocity, and mutuality within natural, ancestral, and human worlds.

Becoming Earths
June 2 - July 8 2023

Gallery Caroline O'Breen

Amsterdam

Becoming Earths gathers speculative gestures of future feminisms embedded in reciprocal life with nature. The imaginative rewriting of new realities from feminist perspectives entangles common resources for the reproduction of life grounded in the potentialities with earth. With a constellation of artworks by Manjot Kaur (IN), Anouk Kruithof (NL) and Elisa Strinna (IT), the exhibition proposes embodied alternatives to the existing dualistic constructions of nature and culture.

Ac/kademie #5: The Tree That Grew Out of My Womb

with Asha Karami, Manjot Kaur, Marie Caye, moderated by Ruby Hoette

Tue 15 MAR 2022
3-way hybrid performance

How do your ideas about fertility and motherhood affect your behavior and choices?
What does it mean to be fertile or infertile?
What is the future of organic reproduction while digital replication and production of consumer goods is exploding? 
What happens if you see yourself as the parent of all animate and inanimate things?

The 5th edition of the Ac/kademie series hosts a 3-way hybrid performance by Jan van Eyck alumni Asha Karami, Manjot Kaur and Marie Caye. Together with the public, they explore the topics of sexuality, fertility and parenthood through an abstract, interactive approach that goes beyond associations tied to human reproductive organs and childbirth. Caught between an organic and technological world the three artists try to navigate their way through the linguistic, visual and auditory representations of these themes. The event is moderated by Jan van Eyck participant Ruby Hoette. 

Ac/kademie: A series of artist-lead conversations amongst the residents of the Jan van Eyck Academie and of the Rijksakademie, two post-academies in the Netherlands. This series is organized in collaboration with the Rijksakademie, the Saastamoinen Foundation and the Academy of Fine Arts, Uniarts, Finland.
