Wear, The Journal of Homeshop #2,
by Elaine W. Ho

Located in the centre of Beijing on one of its old hutong alleyways, HomeShop is a store space turned sleeping-working-living space which uses its window front as the beginning point from which to examine our ways of relaying between public and private, the commercial and pure exchange as such. That given, temporality is a crucial aspect to the work of HomeShop, whereby these relations (e.g., maker/audience, neighbour/friend, seller/buyer) involve processes, wearing in and, perhaps, a mere letting in. We are an open platform as such, seeking to explore the possibilities given the context outside of the creative clusters of Beijing’s art industry and 798, and within a neighbourhood of steadfast Beijingers who persist amidst the literal rising of change all around them.

Vortrag / Buchvernissage
Heidrun Holzfeind: Mexico 68/CU
Freitag, 16.7.2010, 19 Uhr
http://www.corner-college.com/Veranstaltungen/1279231200

Die in New York lebende Künstlerin Heidrun Holzfeind stellt drei ihrer Arbeiten vor, die unlängst bei Kodoji Press in Baden erschienen sind.

“Mexico 68” besteht aus einer achtzehnteiligen Interviewserie mit ehemaligen Studierenden der Universität Mexiko, die 1968 ein Programm für bürgerliche Freiheiten und gegen die herrschende Repression formulierten. Ihre Anliegen wurden durch die Armee unterdrückt, was schliesslich in einem Massaker endete. “CU” wirft in 53 ganzseitigen Fotografien die Frage auf, inwiefern die Architekturmoderne die Vorstellungen von Freiheit und Gemeinschaft, die sie anfänglich zu ihrem Paradigma erhob, hat oder hätte einlösen können.

Ähnlich verhält es sich mit “Behind the Iron Gate / Za Zelazna Brama”, einer Dokumentation des Lebens in einer Warschauer Planstadt, die in den Jahren 1965-1972 auf den Trümmern des Jüdischen Ghettos errichtet wurde.

Heidrun Holfeinds Arbeit zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass sie augenscheinlich mit den Mitteln der Dokumentation
arbeitet, damit aber eine Form der künstlerischen Forschung betreibt. Dieser Ansatz erlaubt es Erkenntnisfragen, wie
sie üblicherweise in der Geschichtswissenschaft zum Zuge kommen, um eine ästhetische Form zu erweitern, die subjektive und individuelle Momente einzufangen.

Weitere Informationen zu Heidrun Holzfeind:

Das Gespräch wird moderiert von Stefan Wagner.

“Mexico 68/CU” erscheint in einer zweibändigen Auflage von 700 Stück. “Behind The Iron Gate / Za Zelazna Brama” erscheint als DVD mit Booklet in einer Auflage von 500 Stück.

Die Veranstaltung erfolgt in Zusammenarbeit mit Motto Zürich und Kodoji Press Baden.
