Possibly the biggest highlight of March is that the winter cold is already easing. The days are also getting longer and it is getting dark later. This encourages us to go out, to travel, to enjoy our leisure time. Don’t know what to do with all that time? Here are our suggestions for next month.
ITB Berlin, all the possible trips in one
The ITB Berlin is regarded as the most important business platform for the travel industry worldwide. If you are someone in the travel business, you have to be there. And if you simply love to travel, you can also stop by this fair and choose your new destinations. You can do so from 6 to 10 March at the fairgrounds in the German capital.
ITB Berlin, the world’s leading travel trade fair
More than 180 countries from 6 continents await you there. There are about 10,000 exhibitors and more than 100,000 industry professionals. It is not surprising that the turnover of the fair reaches 7 billion euros. However, you don’t have to go to trade, you can also take a virtual tour of any corner of the globe.
Art Dubai, the most contemporary Arab art
Dubai, given its economic might, is becoming one of the most dynamic cities in the world. Its events are innumerable, but few are as established and prestigious as its Art Dubai, which this year will take place between 20 and 23 March.
Art Dubai, the largest art trade event in this part of the world today
The main protagonists here are the artists from the MENASA region. An area that includes the Arabian Peninsula and its surroundings in the Middle East, as well as neighbouring countries in Africa and Asia. It is therefore an opportunity to discover an unknown contemporary art with its own personality.
Serpentine Gallery and Emma Kunz
It is not the first time that London’s Serpentine Gallery appears in our March highlights. On this occasion, we include it to mention the exhibition of Emma Kunz and her visionary drawings. The exhibition will open on 23 March and will remain on British soil until 19 May.
Geometry governs Emma Kunz’s work
For those who do not know the Swiss artist and researcher Emma Kunz (1892 – 1963), it must be said that her work goes beyond aesthetics. They are drawings based on spiritualism and dowsing. That is to say, a pendulum guided by energy fields traced them. By the way, she conceived them as healers and thought that they would not be understood until the 21st century. Visit the exhibition and see it by yourself!
Art Basel HK, again in the March highlights
Once again we are talking about what is surely the most prestigious art fair in Asia, which will take place between 29 and 31 March. The venue as always at the Art Basel Hong Kong is the Convention and Exhibition Centre, and the most important galleries from the continent and the Pacific region will be there.
Artistic spectacle guaranteed at Art Basel Hong Kong
There is a lot to see, but perhaps this year’s highlight will be the Kabinett area. There, individual booths await us, which, like huge jewellery boxes, will display important works of contemporary art from the last few decades. Especially from this region of the world, as Philippine, Singaporean, Burmese and Chinese art will be represented… But not only that, there will also be Spanish Modernism.
The great Stanley Kubrick in Barcelona
One of the most interesting exhibitions of recent times in Barcelona is that of Stanley Kubrick at the Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona. It’s been going on for a few months now, since 25 October last year. So before it closes on the 31st, it had to appear in our March highlights.
Kubrick, film genius
2001 Space Odyssey, The Metal Jacket, Barry Lindon, The Shining, Eyes Wide Shut and many others are references to cinema. Authentic monuments of the Seventh Art and about all of them we find objects and anecdotes in this exhibition in Barcelona. Absolutely essential for film buffs and for any fan of good cinema.
Lucio Fontana in New York
This is the first exhibition of the Italian-Argentine artist Lucio Fontana (1899 – 1968) in the United States in the last four decades. Perhaps because of such a wait the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York has prepared a huge exhibition entitled: Lucio Fontana on the threshold, which is split between the Met on Fifth Avenue and the Met Breuer.
Fontana and his particular spatial concepts
Between the two spaces you can see the peculiar artistic conception of this creator, one of the most daring of the already daring 20th century. An artist best known for his paintings and his series of Cuts. But he also worked in sculpture. This is shown in this exhibition, which opened on 23 January and will be on view in New York until 14 April 2019.
Lita Cabellut in Zaragoza
The last of our March highlights is the one that will last the longest, as the exhibition of the painter Lita Cabellut at the Goya Museum in Zaragoza opened last February 14th and will last until June 2nd of this year. A long period, as befits the size of this highly sought-after painter from Aragon, who has been based in The Hague for years.
Faces are Cabellut’s artistic object.
Here we are going to see a series of triptychs that are the excuse to understand all the art of this author, a painter who uses different materials, from the most classic ones such as oil to sprays. And with them she generates intense, energetic and intuitive images. After all, as dictated by her own agitated character and her eagerness to express herself.
So much for our March highglights, the last ones of winter. Spring is coming soon and from Magazine Horse we will continue giving ideas to enjoy it.
