Culturally Curated
Departures' Diary of unmissable exhibitions this season
Following the DEPARTURES Magazine Between the Lines feature on the re-emergence of drawings in the art world, we take a broader look and mark out a small collection of unmissable events, exhibitions and festivals to provoke, test and enliven cultural taste buds.

Taryn Simon Black Square – Athens, Greece – September 25th-December 7th
Gagosian's Athens gallery plays host to photographer Taryn Simon and her series Black Square, which captures subjects that highlight specific cultural complexities and frames them against a black square – Kazimir Malevich's Black Square, an attempt to create abstraction devoid of social or political meaning. Text accompanies each photographs, serving Simon's role as both witness and informant.

Gabriel Orozco – Paris, France – September 8th-October 20th
New to Paris, this exhibition of Gabriel Orozco's work will be held at the Galerie Marian Goodman. Particularly of interest is Shade Between Rings of Air, a sculpture which the Mexican artist originally created for the 51st Venice Biennial, and is a 1-for-1 replica of the original La Pensilina that it stood next to. Since its time travelling the world, it has in itself become an independent mobile architectural object for placing into different contexts. A selection of new terracotta works will exhibit alongside the piece as part of the Orthocenters series.

Buenos Aires Photo – Buenos Aires, Argentina – October 26th-29th

Thomas Houseago Special Brew – London, UK – September 7th-October 27th
Showcasing the sculptor of contradiction for the first time, Hauser & Wirth present two exhibitions of the mysterious and at times brutal work of Thomas Houseago. Materially basic in the physical sense, utilising plaster, hemp, graphite and iron rebar, Houseago's works present a complex contrast to this. A parallel exhibition, Plants, flowers & faces, will also be presented in Hauser & Wirth Zürich, running from September 1st through October 20th.
