Rodney Graham
Through the Forest
MACBA
30 January - 18 May 2010
This major retrospective brings together more than one hundred works by the Canadian artist, done between 1978 and 2008. The exhibition Through the Forest displays a long path that goes from the adaptation of literary models and the appropriation of moments in art history to impressive film works, and finally culminates in a classical art medium, painting. In tandem with the exhibition at the MACBA, where the series of paintings Picasso, My Master (2005) is also on view, a series of reliefs by Graham will be exhibited at the Museu Picasso in Barcelona.

In her first solo show in the U.S.A., Ceal Floyer's mid-career survey will include multi-media works from the late 1990s to the present and premieres a new site specific work. The artist uses ordinary objects to create works that challenge the viewer's perception and assumptions; her minimal constructions are precise and visual translations of verbal expressions.

Santiago Sierra
NO, Global Tour , ARCO, Madrid
17 February – 21 February
Staged throughout Europe, Canada and the US, Santiago Sierra's NO consists of a touring truck carrying a monumental sculpture in the shape of the eponymous statement. Conceived as an international touring work, it is key to the project that the piece will travel across different Western cities, acting as a prop against the background of different landscapes and scenarios and crossing sites marked by diverse and problematic histories. Describing the project, Sierra stated that: "NO expresses a response to the universally recognizable imposition. NO is the clearest exercise of the right to dissent before reality as a whole, and before the future that our contemporary state seem to project ahead of us". The international tour will be filmed as if it were a travelling documentary of a rock tour.
No is an ongoing project, for further information about 2010 route see Santiago Sierra's website: Santiago Sierra
Spencer Finch
Frac. Pays de la Loire, Carquefou
19 March – 30 May
In this solo exhibition, the work of the artist settles itself in questioning the perception of time towards the moment of juxtaposition between the present moment and the memory. This experience of the instant and the personal confrontation with the past and also History are often shaped intensely with his particular usage of light as a medium to confront time and space.

Lawrence Weiner project Under the Sun was conceived to the Espai d'art contemporani de Castelló.

DOUBLE BIND / Arrêtez d'essayer de me comprendre !
Villa Arson, Nice
5 February – 30 May
The exhibition entitled Double Bind: Stop trying to understand me!, makes a first reference to the concept of "Double bind" of translation - both necessary and impossible - and, secondly, to an injunction of psycho -analyst / philosopher Jacques Lacan. All the works in the exhibition will make a statement, each in their own way, about the understanding between man and man, man and machine or between machine and machine. It will also highlight the nuances that characterize the phenomena of misunderstanding.
