AGENDA

INTERNATIONAL

PETER FISCHLI AND DAVID WEISS

The Guggenheim’s outgoing curator Nancy

Spector —who, five years ago, hung Maurizio

Cattelan’s body of work from the building’s

ceiling—presents a non-linear exhibition of the

Swiss duo, whose quirky, DIY vision increases

with significance and charm as it ages (the

collaboration ended in 2012, when Weiss died).

The show is packed with hundreds of works,

with a public component in SoHo and Times

Square. To Apr. 27. 1071 5th Ave., New York.

JANET CARDIFF AND GEORGE BURES

MILLER The partners in art and life who call

Grindrod, BC, and Berlin home recently

participated in the Istanbul Biennial, where

they showed Sad Waltz and the Dancer who

couldn’t dance, an automated marionette

show that was by turns funny, pathetic and

moving. Here, another, more elaborate

marionette work from 2014 is featured,

packed into a small trailer. From Apr. 16.

Luhring Augustine, 531 W. 24th St., New York.

WOLFGANG TILLMANS This site-specific

exhibition, the artist’s first in Portugal, offers

a showcase for his “vertical landscapes,”

stunning minimalist photographs of, among

other things, the horizon line bathed in

otherworldly light. To Apr. 25. Fundação De

Serralves, R. Dom João de Castro 210, Porto.

THIS PLACE Twelve renowned photog-

raphers—among them Wendy Ewald, Jungjin

Lee, Jeff Wall and Thomas Struth—present

work relating to Israel and the West Bank,

going beyond familiar media depictions. To

June 5. Brooklyn Museum, 200 Eastern Pkwy.

Wolfgang Tillmans Fire Island 2015

Laura Poitras ANARCHIST: Power Spectrum Display of Doppler Tracks

from a Satellite (Intercepted May 27, 2009) 2016

LAURA POITRAS At press time, this

exhibition by the documentarian, journalist

and artist, most famous for her association

with Glenn Greenwald and Edward Snowden,

is already receiving coverage about its few

works containing classified images from the

Snowden archive. Call it hype, but the airing of

sensitive government documents within the

context of a major artworld exhibition feels

unprecedented. To May 1. Whitney Museum

of American Art, 99 Gansevoort St., New York.
