Man Ray
Bank Austria Kunstforum Wien, Austria: February 14 – June 24, 2018
You’re likely familiar with Man Ray’s photography, but have you ever come across his paintings, collages or films? True, he achieved worldwide renown for his portraits of artists and his rayographs of the 1920s, produced without the use of a camera. However, Man Ray also painted, drew, designed, made films and objects, wrote, invested his talents enthusiastically in typography, book and magazine design, and pursued a career as experimental fashion photographer for Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue. An exhibition in Bank Austria Kunstforum places focus on these lesser known aspects of Ray’s oeuvre via more than 150 works – for sure an unmissable chance to marvel at the artist’s experimental and groundbreaking archive.

Arts and Crafts Museum, Zagreb, Croatia: April 14 – October 14, 2018
The exhibition The Sixties in Croatia is an ambitious round up of the forces that placed Croatia in the social and cultural turbulence that characterized the 1960s. It was the time the diversity of poetics and international collaboration were encouraged and enabled Croatian art to establish itself as a valuable part of the late European modernism. With sections covering art, design, fashion and the growth of consumer culture, the exhibition provides a fascinating insight into the appetite for change and a lavish feast of visual inspiration.
