The Best Exhibitions that the world has in store for us April 2013
Dalí. All of the poetic suggestions and all of the plastic possibilities
April 27 – Sept 2
Reina Sofia - Madrid
In collaboration with the Centre Georges Pompidou, this large exhibition devoted to Salvador Dali collates the artists work in effort to contribute to the reappraisal of Dali as the creator of the unique vision he had of the world, as well as being a thinker and writer. The work that Dali created during the surrealist period takes centre stage here, placing special emphasis on the ‘paranoiac-critcial’ method he developed he evolved in order to transform and subvert reality. Expect to see some of his greatest works.
Lost in the Memory Palace: Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller
April 9 –Aug 18
Art Gallery of Ontario – Toronto
Creating spaces where the lines between fiction and everyday and the levels of engagement as viewer and participant are blurred, Toronto’s AGO is hosting award-winning artists Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller and their exhibition Lost in the Memory Palace. The duo began collaborating in 1995, picking up the Special Award and the Benesse Prize at the Biennale di Venezia in 2001 for their experimental work. This exhibition focuses on their work from the mid-90s to today, consisting of pieces with strong architectural character that alter the space, time and physicality of the environments that they are in. If you like your art with a little taste of interaction, then this is worth your time.

Saloua Raouda Choucair
17 April - 20 Oct

It's the world first major museum exhibition of Saloua Raouda Choucair, Lebanese artist, and it's worth it to see. Through painting and drawing, architecture, textiles and jewellery, as well as, of course, her prolific and experimental sculptures,Choucair worked in diverse media pursuing her interests in science, mathematics and Islamic art and poetry. Many of the works, made over a period of five decades, have not previously been seen outside of Lebanon. A rare female voice in the Beirut art scene from the 1940s onwards, Choucair’s work combines elements of western abstraction with Islamic aesthetics.

More than two hundred of the finest and most poignant photographs of the American Civil War have been brought together for this landmark exhibition that will examine the evolving role of the camera during the nation's bloodiest war. The camera recorded from beginning to end the heartbreaking narrative of the epic four-year war (1861–1865) in which 750,000 lives were lost. This traveling exhibition will explore, through photography, the full pathos of the brutal conflict that, after 150 years, still looms large in the American public's imagination.
