JOUISSANCE
Curated by Michèle Saint-Michel
April 3–9, 2026
Millennium Film Workshop
167 Wilson Ave. Brooklyn, New York
Jouissance, a time-based exhibition curated by Michèle Saint-Michel, will take place at Millennium Film Workshop in Brooklyn from April 3 through April 9, 2026. Bringing together international artists working across installation, experimental film, performance, and publishing, the exhibition explores pleasure, embodiment, and intensity through moving image and live work.
The exhibition's title draws on the psychoanalytic concept of jouissance, describing a form of pleasure that exceeds ordinary satisfaction and moves toward intensity, excess, and transformation. Through installations, a curated film program, and an experimental artist publication, Jouissance examines how time-based media can engage sensation, vulnerability, and perception.
"INVISIBLE"
VIDEO-PERFORMANCE, WON THE AWARD FOR BEST SHORT WOMEN ISSUES AT
PARIS CINEFEST 2025
"This is not theatre. It is not film. It is a performance that draws from what performance theorist Peggy Phelan called the “presentness” of performance – its being “in a real time of bodies in space” (Phelan, 1993). Pátkai places herself not on a stage but in public view, amid the flow of everyday life. The camera, static and discrete, records but does not announce. The audience, unsuspecting, participates unwittingly. This covert element – a hallmark of much site-specific and feminist performance – recalls the uneasy slippage between life and art that early performance sought to establish." https://saltertonartsreview.com/2025/06/invisible-lathatatlan-rozina-patkai/
CROSSROADS
KULT7 Galéria / KULT7 Gallery
BPF Selection / CROSSROADS
2026.04.02. – 19.
The exhibition CROSSROADS explores the borderlands of contemporary photography and related arts. The selection focuses on works that use photography not only as an image, but also as a conceptual and formal tool in the context of fine arts, graphics, painting, film, installation and collage art. The exhibition seeks to answer how the role of photography is changing in a visually hybrid age: how photography becomes a material, a structure, a reflection - while creating new artistic meanings by engaging in dialogue with other media. The works selected through the competition explore the possibilities of interoperability and the power of dialogue between media through various techniques of photography. CROSSROADS is both a professional reflection and a sensitive imprint of how contemporary artists today think with the medium of photography - beyond the usual framework. The exhibition is held in the section of the Budapest Photo Festival's self-organized exhibitions. The exhibition is part of the Budapest Photo Festival's in-house exhibition section.
