Fondazione In Between Art Film is pleased to announce the public program of Penumbra Vanishing Points, which kicks off on the 9th June in Venice with a conversation between artist Karimah Ashadu and Osei Bonsu, Curator for International Art at Tate Modern, London.

Penumbra is the foundation’s first institutional show which opened to the public at the Ospedaletto and Church of Santa Maria dei Derelitti in Venice on the occasion of the 59th International Venice Biennale.

Together with curators, researchers, and thinkers, Vanishing Points involves the artists featured in the show and expand the conversations around their practice via conversations, screening programs, performances, and live readings. Vanishing Points is curated by Bianca Stoppani and Paola Ugolini—respectively Editor and Curator at Fondazione In Between Art Film.

Over at the South London Gallery, “Plateau” has its second London showing in the group exhibition “The Show is Over”, curated by Gabi Ngcobo, in dialogue with Oscar Murillo.

I’m really pleased to share this exhibition with other pioneering artists including Simnikiwe Buhlungu, Anawana Haloba, Banele Khoza, Donna Kukama, Moshekwa Langa, Tessa Mars, Misheck Masamvu, Santu Mofokeng, Santiago Mostyn, Oscar Murillo, Las Nietas de Nonó, Ishkar Richard, Helen Sebidi, and Luana Vitra.

The UK premiere of the film “Plateau“, proudly takes place at Tate.
