Echoing through the ordinarily hushed halls of the Hamburger Bahnhof come the competing sounds of “Rule Britannia” and “Deutschland über Alles”, as American artist Paul Pfeiffer launches his ArtAngel commission The Saints (video still shown right) in Germany. The sound and video installation focuses on the World Cup Final between England and Germany at Wembley in 1966. A constellation of speakers and screens relays the match and the reactions of the crowd, from tense anticipation to a deafening roar of mass celebration. Laid over the original crowd reactions are the passionate chants of a new set of spectators, a group of young Filipinos from Manila that the artist brought together to watch the match for the first time. For this German showing, Pfeiffer has added the original match commentary in English, adding a new layer of sound to the experience. Curator Britta Schmitz expects “a tremendous reaction” to the project, because the “memory of the loss is still so fresh” for Germans. (England won 4-2 after extra time.) Pfeiffer, who trained at Hunter College, New York, first realised the project in London in 2007, inspired by the opening of the new national stadium at Wembley. C.B.

The African-American artist, writer and filmmaker Renée Green (b1959) has her first museum retrospective in Switzerland, with work dating from the 1980s to the present. Green, currently dean of graduate studies at the San Francisco Art Institute, often takes an analytical approach in her work to the space or subject it explores, uncovering hidden histories and displaying documents and artefacts collected through her research. The show of 30 works brings together paintings, photographs, installations, films, videos and sound works. Major pieces include the early works Mise-en-Scène, Commemorative Toile, 1993, a silkscreened fabric featuring vignettes of the slave trade in Haiti, and Partially Buried in Three Parts, 1996-97, an installation and film based on Robert Smithson’s land art work Partially Buried Woodshed. Curator of contemporary art at the museum Nicole Schweizer has been working with Green for the past two years having become familiar with her work through curating exhibitions with artists “committed to tackling the politics and poetics of representation”. Although there are no new works, existing ones are presented in a new way by Green for the space. H.S.

This portrait photography prize, sponsored by law firm Taylor Wessing, is seen as one of the leading international photographic awards with a £12,000 prize for the winner. The 60 works on show have been chosen from about 6,300 submissions by a panel that includes Diane Smyth, deputy editor of the British Journal of Photography, NPG director Sandy Nairne and photographer Fergus Greer. “We were all very much agreed on the work that didn’t quite hit the mark, but the process of whittling the list down to the 60 photographs that would be shown in the NPG, and then the top four that would become the shortlist, was a lot tougher,” says Smyth “It was interesting to see that two styles that seem popular in both the UK and the US—the snapshot aesthetic and highly polished, retouched imagery—were not that prominent. A large majority of the work was documentary and semi-staged”. New this year is the Elle Commission, judged by Elle’s editor-in-chief Lorraine Candy, the winner of which will be commissioned to shoot a feature story for the magazine. W.O.

The China Institute unveils a glance of China that has never before been seen in the US. Unlike most Chinese contemporary art’s tendency toward the glamorous and commercial, the new documentary photography exhibit will feature photographs from 1951 through 2003 that present intimate portraits of rural and urban daily life in China, beyond the glossy veneer of the economic boom. This exhibit will feature Dr Jerome Silbergeld’s (Professor of Chinese Art History, Princeton University) selected 100 photographs by more than 80 photographers, a version that narrows the original exhibit organized by the Guangdong Museum of Art which contained 600 images by 248 photographers, the first large-scale collection of photography acquired permanently by any museum in China. From photographs of a tragic husband remembering a deceased wife and a fearful crowd of victims fleeing the floodwaters to an elated lottery-winner displaying his wads of cash, the exhibit’s themes span the vast array of human emotions that is present in daily life. The Director of China Institute Gallery, Willow Hai Chang, notes, “The medium and language of photography provide an exceptional opportunity to foster a dialogue, enhancing communication and understanding about everyday life in China.”

This year saw important developments in the field of Middle Eastern contemporary art, as established and up-and-coming artists from the region followed in the footsteps of their Chinese and Russian counterparts in capturing the attention of international collectors and sellers. Charles Saatchi stamped a seal of approval on the field with his exhibition “Unveiled: New Art from the Middle East”. Amid the furore, the voice of Palestinian artists is rising. This month, for the first time, the territories will be represented at the 53rd Venice Biennale in an exciting exhibition that, according to curator Salwa Mikdadi, “underscores the chronic impermanence faced by Palestinian artists”. Within this context, the exhibition at the Institut du monde arabe (IMA) could not be more timely. For 20 years, the IMA has sought to convey the importance and breadth of contemporary Arab art, becoming a crucial platform between two cultures. This show brings together the work of 19 artists, men and women, across generations, working in varying techniques, living and locally or abroad, who commune in a Palestinian aesthetic forged in exile and displacement. Taysir Batniji and Khalil Rabah, two artists who are showing in Venice, explore these themes respectively in a series of 26 photographs, Miradors, 2008 and United States of Palestine Airlines, London Office, 2007, and Mona Hatoum is represented by Every Door a Wall, 2003, which describes through silkscreen the plight of illegal immigrants smuggled inside a truck. The media – from drawings and paintings, photography, video and installation art – mix with ease, and in the breadth of the curatorial choice, we are provided with an interesting overview of the state of Palestinian art in the 21st century.

Paintings from the Hague School (1860-90) are here presented alongside documentary photographs, both of which point to the impact that the industrial revolution had on the 19th-century rural Dutch landscape. The exhibition reveals, through more than 90 paintings and photographs, the landscape that has gradually become overtaken by Dutch industrialisation. The works are supplemented by a film by Bert Koenderink about the industrial revolution that informs the landscape painting of the time. The paintings and photos have been gathered from the collections of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and the Neue Pinakothek, Munich. The exhibition capitalises on the partial closure for renovation of the Rijksmuseum to secure loans that make up a large part of the display. Aside from paintings and photographs, other historical material is presented, such as railway maps, that further illustrate the evolution of the Hague School’s native landscape. A large part of the photographic material comes from Johann Georg Hameter (1838-85). Hameter presented work at the first exhibition of photography in the Netherlands in 1855 and his photographs on show here tell us as much about early photography as they do about the rapidly industrialised landscape.

The Hermitage continues its “20/21” contemporary art programme with “Newspeak: British Art Now”, the museum’s second collaboration with London’s Saatchi Gallery after “USA Today” in 2007, which kicked off the project. Since then the Hermitage has shown paintings by US artist Chuck Close, textiles by Russian artist Timur Novikov, photography by Russian artist Boris Smelov, and gothic sculpture by Belgian artist Wim Delvoye. “Newspeak” at the Hermitage includes the work of around 20 British artists—including Spartacus Chetwynd, Mustafa Hulusi, Goshka Macuga, Toby Ziegler, Pablo Bronstein and Littlewhitehead—on show in one of the museum’s largest rooms, the Nikolaevsky Hall in the Winter Palace. The exhibition will have an expanded UK showing at the Saatchi Gallery in June 2010. “After the success of ‘USA Today’, we were discussing possibilities of future joint projects with the Saatchi Gallery,” Dimitri Ozerkov, head of the 20/21 project and curator of “Newspeak”, told The Art Newspaper. “We agreed to make a British show in partnership, but agreed that the final selection and conception would be carried out by a Hermitage curator, and the premiere is in St Petersburg.” Ozerkov is an enthusiastic follower of Saatchi, and is convinced of the superiority of this collection. “Some 80%, if not more, of the world’s contemporary art is total rubbish, and big institutions such as museums know this, but are not allowed to say it publicly. One feels this when researching material for a show,” he told us. Saatchi proposed the title “Newspeak”, which refers to the fictional language spoken in George Orwell’s novel “1984”. Ozerkov made the initial selection of exhibits from Saatchi’s website, and then visited the works in storage in London, where most of the works for the exhibition were chosen. He also visited studios and galleries to finalise a number of acquisitions and commissions for the show, including a new work by Pablo Bronstein, Relocation of Temple Bar, 2009. “The Hermitage will present only the best part of the collection,” Ozerkov told us. “Some of the works I didn’t find interesting for a Russian audience—such as those referring to everyday realities that a Russian visitor would not understand. Some of the works won’t work well in the context of an old traditional museum. But there are still a couple of risky decisions and I’m curious about the reaction of visitors.” He cites Barry Reigate’s work, in which “cartoon characters parade, penises in hand, to be installed at the Hermitage’s heart”. The exhibition will also include the work of one of the artists featured in the forthcoming reality TV show, currently titled “Saatchi Art Stars”. The BBC programme—which is due to air from late November for four weeks—will feature six artists, to be judged by a panel comprising artist Tracey Emin, broadcaster and critic Matthew Collings, collector Frank Cohen and Barbican Art Gallery head Kate Bush.

It is perhaps surprising that it is only now, at the age of 65, that Rebecca Horn has been honoured by a solo exhibition in Japan. Significant both as a post-war German artist and as a woman artist, Horn was prominent among the creative generation that emerged in the 1960s, producing a body of work that has remained consistent across a wide range of artistic practices, from drawing and photography through performance and film to kinetic sculpture and installation. She has traced her artistic vision to the year she spent convalescing after almost poisoning herself to death at the age of 20 while working with fibreglass without a mask: confined to bed, she passed the time designing extensions to her limbs and body. A work that brought her early acclaim was Unicorn, 1970, in which a young woman is filmed walking through a wheat field wearing only a tall prosthetic horn on her head; the piece seemed very contemporary, but also tapped into the timeless and mythic. Later extensions often included feathers, and eventually they left the human body behind, to become strangely elegant and affecting automata, often described as “machines with souls”. This exhibition provides an overview of Horn’s 40-year career, from early film works to the “bodylandscapes” of recent years. B.M.

Bringing together Norwegian and international artists, including Lucy and Jorge Orta, Sonja Braas and German multimedia duo SpringerParker, this exhibition highlights the worldwide effect of climate change. Some of the works, which include installations, sculptures, paintings, photography and sound pieces, have been inspired by time spent by the artists on Arctic and Antarctic research ships, giving the contributors first-hand experience of the state of the polar ice caps. Other artists have produced works that reflect on the energy crisis and depleting global resources. British artist Charlie Hooker brings these elements together in Timeline, which utilises archival material to trace the changes in climate over a period of 30,000 years. W.O.

Washington is awash with photography shows this month, starting at the National Gallery of Art (NGA), where a collection of portraits donated to the museum by the street photographer Robert Bergman are on view, many for the first time. “Robert Bergman: Portraits” includes 33 large-scale colour photographs of people Bergman met on the street in the 1980s. Also at the NGA is “In the Darkroom: Photographic Processes”, a show that traces the major technological developments in photography from early experiments by Henry Fox Talbot and the mass appeal of Polaroids to the highly manipulative medium of digital photography. Over at the Phillips Collection is “Man Ray, African Art and the Modernist Lens”, which presents around 100 photographs by Man Ray and his contemporaries, such as Cecil Beaton, Walker Evans, and Alfred Stieglitz. Also on display are 20 African objects depicted in the images. H.S.
