Ahmet Öğüt

neither artificial nor intelligent

preview 6th November, 6pm

6th November 2025 - 8th February 2026 

A plus A Gallery, Venice

Ahmet Öğüt, widely recognized for his participatory and socially engaged projects, returns to Venice after representing Turkey at the Venice Biennale in 2009 with a new body of work that brings to light his rarely explored painting practice. Titled neither artificial nor intelligent, the exhibition features a previously unseen selection of ten oil portraits from a larger series of fifty, created over the past three years. The works will be on view exclusively on-site at A plus A Gallery from November 6, 2025, to February 8, 2026. 

Images of the artworks will be made available online only once they are no longer in the artist’s possession. Until then, the show offers a fully in-person viewing experience, genuine and free from digital mediation.

The 70x70cm canvases depict both fictional and real artists, each with diverse practices and from various cities that are not disclosed to the viewer. Why do we associate a particular face with a specific place or type of art? What biases influence our interpretation of an image? Neither artificial nor intelligent invites an offline and individual encounter with the portrayed artists, figures who rarely receive institutional recognition due to their political status and origins, within a western classificatory system also deeply rooted in the filtering structures of artificial intelligence.

The title of the series is gifted from Atlas of AI by Kate Crawford (Yale University Press, 2021), in which the author traces how artificial intelligence, often perceived as abstract and detached from human input, is actually the cause of tangible and lasting damage such as war, environmental degradation, and social inequality.

Drawing from the historical context outlined in the book about control over facial recognition technologies, from phrenology to unauthorized mass data collection, to today’s intelligent vision training techniques, the exhibition questions how technological progress still relies on inherently flawed classification methods shaped by human bias and systems of power.

Born in Silvan, Diyarbakir, Ahmet Öğüt completed his BA from the Fine Arts Faculty at Hacettepe University, Ankara, MA from Art and Design Faculty at Yıldız Teknik University, Istanbul. He works across different media and has exhibited widely, more recently with solo exhibitions in institutions including Art on the Underground & New Contemporaries, Van Abbemuseum, State of Concept Athens, Kunstverein Dresden, Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Chisenhale Gallery; Berkeley Art Museum; and Kunsthalle Basel.

He has also participated in numerous group exhibitions, including; Singapore Biennale (2025); Sense of Safety, Yermilov Centre Kharkiv (2024); Dhaka Art Summit (2023); 17th Istanbul Biennial, Istanbul, (2022); FRONT International 2022, Cleveland Triennial for Contemporary Art, Ohio (2022); Asia Society Triennial: We Do Not Dream Alone (2021); In the Presence of Absence, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam (2020); Zero Gravity at Nam SeMA, Seoul Museum of Art (2019); Echigo Tsumari Art Triennale (2018); the British Art Show 8 (2015-2017); the 13th Biennale de Lyon (2015); Performa 13, the Fifth Biennial of Visual Art Performance, New York (2013); the 7th Liverpool Biennial (2012); the 12th Istanbul Biennial (2011); the New Museum Triennial, New York (2009); and the 5th Berlin Biennial for Contemporary Art (2008).

Öğüt was awarded the Visible Award for the Silent University (2013); the special prize of the Future Generation Art Prize, Pinchuk Art Centre, Ukraine (2012); the De Volkskrant Beeldende Kunst Prijs 2011, Netherlands; and the Kunstpreis Euro- pas Zukunft, Museum of Contemporary Art, Germany (2010). He co-represented Turkey at the 53rd Venice Biennale (2009). Lives and works in Amsterdam and Istanbul. His works in institutional collections such as Guggenheim Museum New York; Kadist, San Francisco, US - Paris; Rennie Collection, Vancouver; Sammlung Goetz, Munich; Frans Hals Museum; FRAC Nord-Pas de Calais, Dunkerque; Laumeier Sculpture Park, St. Louis; KIASMA Museum of Contemporary Art, Helsinki; Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven; Fondazione Giuliani, Rome; MSU Broad Art Museum, East Lansing; Vehbi Koç Foundation, Istanbul.

Charles Adams Gallery invites artists worldwide to submit flat, unframed, two-dimensional artwork for Priority: International Juried Exhibition, juried by Leslie Moody Castro. This open-themed exhibition embraces the full range of 2D practices—across media, scale, and intent—while emphasizing immediacy, material presence, and global exchange.

In a time of increased nationalism, political division, and narrowing borders, Priority affirms the importance of maintaining international artistic partnerships. Whether artworks travel thousands of miles or come from just down the street, each submission represents an act of connection and dialogue. By welcoming works through the mail, this exhibition honors the democratic nature of sending and receiving art: individual pieces converging into a broader global conversation. Packaging elements and postal ephemera may be preserved and integrated into the installation as part of the visual and conceptual narrative.

Open to artists worldwide, Priority invites submissions of unframed, original flat 2D works in any medium, including but not limited to drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, collage, and mixed media. Eligible work must measure between 2" x 3" (A8) and 18" x 24" (B2) and we encourage you to use any materials in the creation, from paper to plexiglass. Envelopes and other packaging may be incorporated into the final presentation.

The exhibition opens on October 3, 2025, in conjunction with First Friday Art Trail, a monthly event that brings thousands of visitors to downtown Lubbock for a night of art, music, and community. Founded in 1982, Charles Adams Gallery is a cornerstone of the Texas contemporary art scene and a leading venue for contemporary art in the region and beyond.

The Wassaic Project is currently holding our annual Open Call for our 2026 Summer Exhibition for artists of all mediums, including: 2D work, sculpture, video, new media, site-specific installation, performance, text, poems, essays, publication-specific work, etc. If selected, your work will be showcased alongside a diverse range of pieces and performances in and around historic Wassaic and Maxon Mills. The Wassaic Project's 2026 Summer Exhibition will be free and open to the public every weekend from May 16 - September 12, 2026. In an effort to be more W.A.G.E. certified, all accepted artists will receive a modest honorarium to participate in the exhibition. Artists interested in creating a site-specific installation for the 2026 Summer Exhibition are also eligible for an Exhibitions Fellowship to help realize their work. Fellows will be offered a no-fee residency for 1 - 4 weeks in April or May 2026. Artists interested in making site-specific work for the exhibition should still apply regardless of whether or not they are interested in or able to be in residence in April or May. The Wassaic Project cultivates and supports community for emerging and professional contemporary artists, writers and other creatives. Housed in historic, landmark buildings, the residency program offers 10 artists each month the opportunity to live and work in the heart of a rural community. The Wassaic Project seeks artists working in a diverse range of media who want to produce, explore, challenge, and expand on their current art-making practices, while participating in a community-based arts organization.

Wassaic Project 2026 Residency Program Open Call 

The Wassaic Project accepts proposals for our 2026 Residency program, which includes the Winter Residency program (Jan – April 2026) and the Summer Residency program (June – September 2026). This call is for individual artists, collaborative teams, groups of two or more individual artists, and artists applying through our Family Residency program. The residency fee is $900 (the fee is per artist/collab group/artist team/family). The fees cover: semi-private studio space(s), private room in a shared house (our Family program receives a private house), access to our wood shop, print shop, and kiln, staff support, and programming such as our visiting artist program, artist talks, studio visits, open studios, artist presentations, etc. 

The Wassaic Project cultivates and supports the community for emerging and professional contemporary artists, writers, curators, filmmakers, and other creatives. Housed in historic, landmark buildings, the residency program offers ten artists each month the opportunity to live and work in the heart of a rural community. The Wassaic Project seeks artists working in a diverse range of media who want to produce, explore, challenge, and expand on their current art-making practices while participating in a community-based arts organization. We will not be holding separate Summer and Winter Residency open calls this year. Instead, we will be holding one Artist Residency open call for the entirety of 2026. 

On our SlideRoom application, you will be able to specify which sessions you’re most interested in joining us for. Applications will be open from March 24 to June 2, 2025. 

FAMILY RESIDENCY PROGRAM: The Wassaic Project broadly defines “family” as a group of more than one individual where there is an in-house dependent relationship as a necessary caregiver. The Wassaic Project recognizes that artists who have caregiving relationships, as providers or recipients, often opt out of peer community building for practical reasons. The Wassaic Project aims to provide accommodations that increase access to our residency program. Examples of caregiving may include but are not limited to: parent/child (parent is caregiver), child/parent (child is caregiver), partner/partner (where one partner is a supportive caregiver of the other and cohabitation is required for caregiving), a recipient of caregiving, self-selection into this application for separate and additional housing space by identifying as a family applicant. 

REVIEW: Residents are selected by a review committee composed of the Wassaic Project Co-Directors, the Director of Artistic Programming, and professionals in the field. Residents will be chosen based on the quality of their work, commitment to their practice, and ability to interact positively with the community at large.

“A Woman’s Place: Visual Voices” is a tribute to the profound impact of women's narratives. This exhibition, in celebration of Women’s History Month, serves as a platform for artists to amplify stories that have often been overshadowed or marginalized.

All 2D fine arts visual media addressing this theme will be considered. All submitted works must be within the size limits listed below and must be available for sale. 

“Edge of Now” is an exhibition that delves into the dynamic interplay of evolving cultural influences and how individuals and communities respond to these changes. As our world becomes increasingly interconnected, and as innovations and social structure shifts cascade through our lives, this exhibition is a reflection on how we adapt, resist, and embrace the forces that continually shape our existence.

“Edge of Now” invites artists to submit works that capture personal, cultural, and global transformations We seek works that explore the rich tapestry of contemporary life where multiple cultures intersect, where personal and collective experiences are shared, and where the celebration of self, community, and place unfolds alongside the challenges we all encounter. 

In the fast-paced ebb and flow of today’s society, this exhibition will serve as both a mirror and a lens, inviting viewers to reflect on the inevitability of change and to engage with art that speaks to the complexity and beauty of our shared journey.

Photographers are invited to study the relationship between geometry and architecture, capturing the visual harmony and tension that geometric forms create within the built environment. This exhibition seeks to showcase images that highlight the structure, symmetry, and rhythm found in architectural design. Through the lens of geometry, submissions should reveal how space and form interact, whether through the bold simplicity of modern architecture or the intricate details of classical design.

A plus A Gallery, Venice, San Marco 3073

Flavio Delice, Samuel Gelas, Shamika Germain

Organised by A plus A Gallery in collaboration with Campus Caraïbéen des Arts

supported by the Institut français

curated by Paola Lavra

 

A plus A gallery and the Campus Caraïbéen des Arts are pleased to announce «Noutoupatou, Mondes caribéens en mouvement». The exhibition, supported by the Institut Français de culture, coincides with the closing of the 60th International Art Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia.

Noutoupatou, is a word, a sound, an invitation to look closely at the works of three young artists from the Caribbean art scene, from the islands of Haïti, Guadeloupe and Saint Martin, graduates of the Campus Caraïbéen des Arts of Fort-de-France in Martinique: Flavio Delice, Samuel Gelas, Shamika Germain. The exhibition is curated by Paola Lavra, anthropologist and lecturer at the Campus Caraïbéen des Arts and former student at the School for Curatorial Studies Venice, in collaboration with May Clementé, Director of the Galerie École of the CCA.

The project envisages a residency period for the artists in Venice, a masterclass proposed by Julien Creuzet and a series of initiatives aimed at creating a moment of exchange and encounter between the three artists and the city of Venice, both islands belonging to a vast archipelago that carries within itself an intricate network of relationships and connections to the world. The residency period will culminate with the opening of the exhibition in which the visitor will have the opportunity to confront that historical, sociological and cultural imprint that has profoundly marked the space and body, the plural and contradictory identity of a colonial society that constantly questions its origins, its affiliation and territorial status as a French island in the broader and more complex sphere of the Caribbean archipelago, its becoming in the globalised space of the Americas.

Today, the progressive deconstruction of the paradigm of Western modernity leaves room for new and singular paradigms of thought and action brought and translated by the specific language of contemporary art, inspired by the Glissantian poetics of relationship and « Tout monde ».

It is in this context that Flavio Delice follows the path and cartography traced by the inhabitants of Haïti in constant migration towards other shores. A land of origin that he never inhabited, ‘not native’, Haïti is the founder of a whole poetic and artistic imaginary that is built on the thread of the testimonies and stories of the fleeing Haïtians.

A real ‘ethnography of passages’ takes shape in the canvases and sculptures made from

recycled materials that make up the daily life based on the ‘debrouillardise’ and the urgency of the Haitian population exposed to telluric movements and the permanent imbalance of a country at war, which is still paying the price for its revolution today. A notebook of a return to the land of dreams and childhood, the set of works is inscribed in the dramatic context of the current conflicts that agitate the island of Haïti.

Shamika Germain uses the same device of immersion and capture (images, words and sounds) to narrate another migration: hers, that of the ‘Enfants de la Ddass’, children entrusted to public institutions or raised in foster families and care facilities. Collecting the voices and silences of bodies and souls separated from their mother’s womb translates into a rich production ranging from photography to drawing and painting, from sculpture to filmic device, from installation to performance of handwritten texts. Hard materials such as iron and iron cement are opposed to the softness of wool in the manufacture of ‘cradles’ that allude to the emptiness and lack of a childhood without dreams.

Intimacy thus becomes the support of a singular and polymorphous plastic and graphic writing, in the creation of an aesthetics of trauma, translated by the term créolo bless, a form of tragic catharsis operated by the reproduction and materialisation of the original wound. The individual story of the ‘Pupilles de l’État’ narrated by Shamika echoes the story of the Bumidom and the Enfants de la Creuse (1962/1984), the vast mass migration operation carried out by the Office for the Development of Migration in the overseas departments of which the children of the DOM territories (Réunion, Martinique, Guadeloupe) were the object and collateral victims.

Finally, the universe of children is present and active in the imposing canvases of Samuel Gelas, vast group portraits that refer to the experience of each human being constituting a social group but also of a humanity of which childhood is the common denominator. The device of the class photo is distorted by the coded language of a bestiary that seems to illustrate the drifts of a society characterised by a hybrid identity, by the encounter/clash between multiculturalism and globalisation. Children are the society of tomorrow in the classroom that brings together and encourages the meeting of origins, religions and different systems of thought.

In a context of crisis and multiform migrations bringing disparities linked to the concepts of class, race and gender, the poetics of relationship, the theoretical summa of Edouard Glissant, subverts the concept of class and inspires an artistic project based on the strength of the collective. The class portrait inscribes the individual in a social group that strongly affirms his singularity but also claims belonging to the world, to being Tout monde, where ‘the relationship becomes the infinite sum of all differences’. (Cf. L’invitation au voyage, 22 November 2004, E. Glissant interrogé par Laure Adler).

Special guest is the artist Julien Creuzet, representing France at the 60th. Biennale in Venice, the protagonist of a masterclass retracing the various stages of his career, which began in Martinique.

The masterclass is organised by the Institut français, in collaboration with the Campus Caraïbéen des Arts. It is aimed at students from the Martinique and Caen Academies of Fine Arts, as well as students from the Lycée d’arts appliqués Victor Anicet in Saint Pierre. This event has been made possible thanks to the support of the Collectivité Territoriale de Martinique.

Founded on the égida of Aimé Cesaire in 1984, the current Campus Caraïbéen des Arts is a Higher School of Art sponsored by the Ministry of Culture and Communication, integrated into the higher education system of French art schools. The only French-speaking centre for the teaching of the visual arts in the Caribbean and Central America, the higher institute puts into perspective the European system with which it is endowed in order to fit into the broader territoriality assigned to it by history and the status of ‘French overseas territory’.

The exhibition can be visited from 18 November to 21 December at the A plus A Gallery.

This is a call for protest art of all kinds!  Days before the 2024 presidential election, Old Walls Gallery will open R3SI$T!, an exhibition that showcases the resiliency, creativity, and vision of the American people in the face of fascism and corporate power.  

We're seeking artwork of any media that resists Republican take over and/or holds Democrats accountable to us, their constituents.  

We're also looking for that beautiful resistance artwork that imagines a new and better world.

Coinciding with the preview of the 60th International Art Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia A plus A

Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of the exhibition Double Take curated by the 2024

participants of School for Curatorial Studies Venice, which celebrates its twentieth anniversary this year.

The term double take refers to the action of looking at something a second time that had escaped notice at

first glance, in order to discern something unusual or new that would otherwise have gone unnoticed.

Double Take is an invitation to reconsider, to pay greater attention and care to the content hidden inside

the works, to grasp their more implicit meanings. It’s an indication to see beyond the immediacy of mere

visual content, to take a critical stance, to move along the boundaries of an increasingly hyperconnected

and dematerialized reality. Our attention span has decreased. Deep scrolling, ad bombardment,

censorship and online subliminal propaganda are progressively changing the times and modes of content

consumption, which is ingested without assimilation. In the so-called age of hyper-information,

information overload is generating a phenomenon of mass distraction.

This is what Shoshana Zuboff calls !surveillance capitalism!, referring to the ma- trix of control over the

uncontrolled spread of information, a new form of exploi- table capital. In the digital panopticon of the

new millennium, founded more so on individuals’ self-monitoring online rather than explicit limitations,

an increa- singly dense network of control is being woven, the repercussions of which are also felt in art:

subjected to the imperative of ‘political correctness!;, artistic pro- duction suffers a loss of content. Artists

ways of artistic expression. As a result of these reflections, the gallery transforms into a hypothetical

surveillance office, where the works challenge the limit of what is allowed to be said, moving between

ambiguity and duplicity, in an at- tempt to circumvent imaginary control devices. On display are works

that reflect on the impossibility of explicit communication through codes and visual referen- ces,

requiring a second look to be understood, thus calling for a double take. To complement the works, the

office also includes a research room which exhibits historical documents of emblematic cases of

censorship during the history of the Biennale, including original photographs of the 1968 protests by

Graziano Arici.

Through an imagined act of transgression, the intention is to reclaim the inde- pendence of visual

language and to indicate in art a possible form of resistance, a stance against today’s conformity.

Zuecca Projects announces the first open call for its Art Residency program at Squero Castello in Venice, Italy. 

Selected artists will be invited to join the Zuecca Art Residency and to develop new artworks inspired by the dystopian Eco-totalitarian novel Ad Bestias by Francesca Sarah Toich.

Artists of all disciplines, ages and nationalities are invited to apply for the opportunity to be selected for a 4-week Art Residency in Venice, between November 2024 and January 2025.

Theme of the Art Residency:

Ad Bestias, a novel by the Italian writer and performer Francesca Sarah Toich, is the theme of this edition of the Zuecca Art Residency.

The novel is about a dystopian future in which a vegan dictatorial regime has taken control. Women are used as gestation capsules for endangered mammalian animals, as in the case of the protagonist who finds herself pregnant with a white rhino cub.

The themes faced in the novel – which will be the focus of the Art Residency - are Eco-totalitarism, dystopia, metamorphosis, veganism, anatomical colonization, repopulation of endangered animal species and self-induced extinction, science fiction and weather control.

A few extracts (in Italian, English and French) from the novel can be found here:

During their stay at the Zuecca Art Residency, the selected artist/s will have the opportunity to meet and interact with the author of the novel in order to develop the work.

The images of the work/s produced during the residency will be included in the forthcoming editorial project dedicated to Ad Bestias.
