The Tallinn Architecture Biennale (TAB) 2017delved into the future of urban environments through the lens of biotechnology and non-human-centered design. Curated by Prof. Claudia Pasquero, this fourth edition featured a diverse program comprising the Curatorial Exhibition, a thought-provoking symposium titled “Polycephalum City”, and the Tallinn Vision Competition, alongside satellite events like the Installation Programme exhibition and the bio.School showcase. Over two days, distinguished architects and researchers, including Mitchell Joachim and Rachel Armstrong, gathered to exchange insights on architecture’s intersection with biology and computation, envisioning cities as self-organizing systems. This Biennale not only highlighted innovative architectural practices but also prompted essential discussions on the evolving role of urban spaces in our rapidly changing world.Presented at the Mohammed VI Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, the exhibition Abdellatif Laâbi: A Poet Passes Through offers an exclusive exploration of the profound influence of Abdellatif Laâbi, a pivotal figure in Moroccan culture. This multifaceted showcase delves into his expansive oeuvre as a poet, editor, translator, and painter. It illuminates how Laâbi’s innovative artistry served as a powerful voice for a generation seeking meaning, employing his diverse mediums to provoke thought and inspire critical reflection on societal paradigms.Can anger and rage be justified in a world riddled with oppression and inequality? Are these emotions destructive forces or vital catalysts for social change? As democracy faces crises and populism gains ground globally, these questions have sparked renewed debate. Contemporary artists have responded, using their work to navigate and challenge the pressing issues of our time. The exhibition ‘Time for Outrage!’ in Düsseldorf explores these questions through six thematic blocks: Right-wing Shift, Trumpism, Protest, Postcolonialism, Feminism, and Discrimination. Across a diverse range of mediums — including installations, drawings, paintings, sculptures, photography, and video art — 40 international artists immerse viewers in the visceral realms of protest, social dissent, and public anger. The exhibition doesn’t just present anger as a raw emotion; it portrays it as a vehicle for dialogue, resistance, and empowerment in the face of systemic injustice. A substantial portion of the works on display come from the collection of entrepreneur and collector Florian Peters-Messer, whose commitment to socially engaged art amplifies the urgent messages these pieces convey.Sergiy Bratkov (b. 1960) is renowned for his radically unsettling and striking photographs that, beneath their vivid surface, present an unflinching report on societal conditions. Like other members of the “Kharkiv School of Photography,” his work over the past 30 years has focused on social photography. In spring 2022, the Ukrainian artist, who had been living in Moscow since 2004, emigrated to Berlin. His recent work, previously centered on outdated Soviet-era clichés and the brash new capitalism of post-Soviet Ukraine, has now been sharply refocused by the brutal realities of the ongoing war. In this exhibition, Bratkov presents new cycles of images and videos created since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The once ironic observer has transformed into a reflective analyst, confronting the horrors of war in his former homeland. His new works grapple with this trauma while resisting the pull of hopelessness.Can anger and rage be justified in a world riddled with oppression and inequality?
