Zu ihrer Ausstellung Everyones Camera im Göttinger Kunstverein erforscht Lisa Oppenheim die Geschichte des Mediums Fotografie. Das Künstlerbuch Billowing zeigt Naturphänomene neben Rauchentwicklungen bei Demonstrationen und Kriegsereignissen. Dabei werden die Bilder ohne Kamera erstellt sondern beispielsweise aus Negativen kreiert oder Solarisationen erstellt. Photogramme von Protesten stehen neben Vulkanausbrüchen, Silbergelatine-Drucke von Bombardierungen im Zweiten Weltkrieg neben harmlosen Wolkenformationen.
Mittels künstlerischer Aneignung, visueller Verkürzung und serieller Anordnung verhandelt die Künstlerin subtil die Auseinandersetzungen, die bis heute die Fotografie bestimmen: die Konflikte zwischen dem Dokumentarischen und dem Symbolischen, zwischen Repräsentation und Abstraktion.

Voices from the corridor part 1 or Everybody’s practice of exhibiting. Stefano Faoro.

Image 1: The Hochspannungshalle ‘Parabelhalle’ is a high voltage test hall in Spandau, Berlin. In the laboratories researchers can generate artificial lightning, thunders, rain and other weather conditions in order to test prototypes designated to different climates. It was designed in 1961 by architect Walter Henn.

Image 2: A film-still from ‘Shock Corrdior’, directed by Samuel Fuller in 1963.

Image 3: Walter Henn was, since the early 1950s, part of a group of German architects who developed the theory of Bürolandschaft, literally ‘office landscapes’. They predicted and applied the end of corridors in working and public buildings. They designed and built rooms where desks could float free and a non-hierarchical ambiance could increase collaboration and, therefore, production. The Osram offices were built by Walter Henn in 1965, in Munich.

Part of ‘Voices from the corridor part 1 or Everybody’s practice of exhibiting’.
A production by Stefano Faoro, Berlin 2013.

South Magazine #1 . Summer 2012,

SOUTH magazine a new collaboration / co- publication of LifO and Kunsthalle Athena

SOUTH is an arts and culture magazine published in Athens and distributed internationally. Possessed by a spirit of absurd authority, we will try to contaminate the prevailing culture with ideas that derive from southern mythologies such as the “perfect climate”, “easy living”, “chaos”, “corruption”, and the “dramatic temperament”, among others. Through our twisted – and “southern” – attitude…, expressed through critical essays, artist projects, interviews and features, we would like to give form to the concept of the South as a “state of mind” rather than a set of fixed places on the map. People from different – literal or metaphorical – ‘Souths’ will renegotiate the southern attitude, partly to define it and partly to invent it, within the post-crisis world. Opening up an unexpected dialogue among neighbourhoods, cities, regions and approaches, SOUTH will be both a magazine and a meeting point for shared intensities.

DIA Issue Nr. 2: Launch @ Motto Zürich, May 11th, 7pm.

Das DIA-Issue ist eine Print-Publikation in kleiner Auflage, die viermal jährlich erscheint und im Kontrast zur herrschenden Online-Euphorie steht. Die Faltbroschüre ist einerseits als Zeitschrift zu lesen, andererseits soll es aber auch Artefakt-Charakter haben und als Poster aufhängbar sein – die Produzenten nennen die Form dieser Publikation Feuilleton-Poster. In jeder Ausgabe werden Essays zu einem Thema abgedruckt, die von einem offenen Redaktionsteam erarbeitet werden. Diese Texte werden von einer Selektion von Dias illustrativ begleitet, wobei die Aufnahmen so ausgewählt werden, dass diese zwar sehr wohl das Ausgabenthema bebildern, sich aber ein direkter Bezug zwischen Essay und Illustration nicht zwingend sofort aufdrängt.
Die Idee für DIA-Issue entstammt dem Verlangen den fotografischen Nachlass des Herrn Dr. Rudolf Becks würdigend zu verwerten. Herr Dr. Rudolf Beck war ab 1950 für das Unternehmen Shell tätig und bereiste in deren Auftrag die ganze Welt. Er hinterliess einen überaus umfangreichen Fundus von Fotografien und Dias, die während seinen Reisen entstanden.

As Long As It Photographs It Must Be A Camera. The Poster. Nico Krebs, Taiyo Onorato.

Cine Qua Non #4

Bilingual Arts Magazine – Winter/Spring 2011 #4

Cine Qua Non is an arts magazine of the University of Lisbon Centre for English Studies (ULICES) built up by movements in written form that freely crisscross reflections, reviews or essays; movements that relate music to visual arts, dance to theatre, cinema to literature. This publication intends to submit its readers to a unique editorial approach that gathers artists, researchers and teaching staff, Portuguese or foreign, proposing texts of different nature about diverse artistic expressions. Cine Qua Non is, since its first printed issue, an entirely bilingual publication (Portuguese/English) that is presented in both versions: an online edition and a printed one.
