BERGEN.- Bergen Kunsthall will present an extensive exhibition by artist Edgar Calel, his first solo presentation in Europe. Working in a variety of media, Calel celebrates the traditions and spirituality of his Mayan Kaqchikel heritage in Comalapa, Guatemala. His works are often grounded in attentive relationships with the earth and its elements, featuring animal-vegetal motifs and playfully challenging Western conventions and perspectives of permanence. The works in the exhibition “Ni Musmut (It’s Breezing)”, made specifically for the spaces of Bergen Kunsthall, continue Calel’s engagement with the Mayan Kaqchikel cosmovision and the connections of its concepts and practices to other cultural contexts. The artist’s use of the Kaqchikel language and reflexivity of his presence in the places he travels belong to a practice that is celebratory of the daily role of spirituality among his people and vigilant of daily threats of exclusion and cultural erasure.

TOKYO.- MAKI Gallery will present London-based artist Johnny Abrahams’ inaugural solo exhibition in Japan, titled 24 Colors for Junichi, at our Tennoz gallery space. Abrahams’ abstract paintings initially appear as compositions of forms and colors, yet upon closer inspection, a depth emerges through their tactile materiality. His use of raw hessian canvas, the texture of his layered paint, and the subtle ebb and flow created by the palette knife generate slight yet certain never-settling oscillations that bring his paintings to life. It is not rigid perfection that he aims to create in his paintings, but rather an unpredictable nature that counterbalances strict intention with accidents. In this way, Abrahams succeeds in making the painted geometric forms more immediate, relatable, and present, leaving traces of his own actions and sentiments.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears.
