Metahaven Talk: Saturday, July 3rd, 2pm

Metahaven (Vinca Kruk, Daniel van der Velden) is a design studio engaging the field of visual identity. From research projects, such as the Sealand Identity Project (2004), Museum of Conflict (2006), and Quaero (2007), the group has moved into installations and critical design projects such as Affiche Frontière (CAPC musée d’art contemporain de Bordeaux, 2008) and Stadtstaat (Künstlerhaus Stuttgart and Casco Utrecht). Its recent book, Uncorporate Identity (Lars Müller Publishers, 2010), matches design with inquiries on globalization and network society. Metahaven’s work was included in group exhibitions like Forms of Inquiry (Architectural Association, London, 2007, cat.) and On Purpose – Design Concepts (Arnolfini, Bristol, 2008). Upcoming projects include a contribution to Manifesta 8 in Murcia, Spain (opening October 2010) and to Graphic Design Worlds at Triennale Design Museum in Milan (2011). Metahaven’s commissioners include the Van Abbemuseum, Valiz Publishers, e-flux Journal, Premsela Foundation and Bureau Europa. Metahaven lectures regularly, and teaches at Yale University, New Haven, the Design Academy, Eindhoven, and the Sandberg Institute, Amsterdam.

Working Format Talk: Saturday, July 10, 2pm

For the occasion of the group exhibition DYNASTY, from June 11 to September 05, 2010 at the Palais de Tokyo and the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris/ARC in Paris, the magazine PALAIS / will present its new issue # 12 at Motto Berlin, on Wednesday June 9, 2010, from 18h30.

The magazine PALAIS / invites the artists of DYNASTY to create forty innovative contributions—and just as many artistic visions, universes and personal stories—to be discovered in this special issue.

PALAIS / magazine 12, DYNASTY, summer 2010, 288 pages

A special issue with 40 new contributions from the artists of DYNASTY: Gabriel Abrantes & Benjamin Crotty, Farah Atassi, Laetitia Badaut-Haussmann, Gaëlle Boucand, Mohamed Bourouissa, Guillaume Bresson, Pierre-Laurent Cassière, Yushin Chang, Stéphanie Cherpin, Pauline Curnier Jardin, Mélanie Delattre-Vogt, Alain Della Negra & Kaori Kinoshita, Daniel Dewar & Grégory Gicquel, Bertrand Dezoteux, Rebecca Digne, Antoine Dorotte, Julien Dubuisson, Vincent Ganivet, Fabien Giraud & Raphaël Siboni, Camille Henrot, Louise Hervé & Chloé Maillet, Armand Jalut, Laurent Le Deunff, Benoît Maire, Vincent Mauger, Robin Meier & Ali Momeni, Théo Mercier, Nicolas Milhé, Benoît-Marie Moriceau, Jorge Pedro Nunez , Masahide Otani, Florian Pugnaire & David Raffini, Jean-Xavier Renaud, Raphaëlle Ricol, Bettina Samson, Alexandre Singh, Oscar Tuazon, Cyril Verde + Mathis Collins , Duncan Wylie, Chen Yang.

Co-published by Cnap (Centre national des arts plastiques).

About the exhibition DYNASTY:
1 exhibition, 2 locations, 40 artists, 80 propositions: DYNASTY is the culmination of a never before seen collaboration between the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris/ARC and the Palais de Tokyo. The artists infuse the totality of the exhibition space and each of them presents, in a fresh stereophonic approach, a work in each of the two venues.
Through its many techniques and stylistic approaches, DYNASTY reveals the drive of a generation and the diversity of its preoccupations, ranging from the most experimental technoscience to the most intimate autofiction. Fragile materials are subject to usages that revalorize them while the development of the computer modeling transforms our grasp of space and objects.
This project continues the work of prospecting carried out previously by the Palais de Tokyo and by ARC at the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris.

HOME #6 – SUN MAY 9TH 2010 – JACKI TERRASSE + OPEN BBQ

ALEX BARCK – JAZZANOVA
& DIRK RUMPFF – OFFTRACK
PLAY A WILD COMBINATION

special guests:
DIRK LEYERS live – GABOM / KLANG
RICCIO – SUPER VALUE – ITALY

We are very pleased to announce that after the sudden
closing of WMF we have found a new HOME for the summer:
Jacki Terasse. Located on the riverside next to Maria, we
are looking forward to chill, grill and thrill you into the night.

For the premiere, your hosts Julie, Alex and Dirk invited two
illustrious guests to deliver the cream for the musical pie:

First, we welcome homie DIRK LEYERS, who will play a
special live set of his past, present and future endeavors.
The musical journey has led him to remixes and collaborations
with Matias Aguayo, Whirlpool Productions, Alter Ego and
Angie Reed just to name a few.

Credit to the edit is due when it comes to Riccio of SUPER
VALUE fame. The italian disco and boogie maestro is not
riding the wave of the current „cut up and go“ extravaganza
but may have caused it. Based on the idea that “value
embodies consciousness before price”, he wishes to
celebrate the many producers and musicians that became
prophets of a timeless sound.

We expect some friends, late and early birds,
a small BBQ to share, the sun & you.

JACKI TERRASSE – AN DER SCHILLINGBRÜCKE – BERLIN

Jacki opens at 15:00
Program starts at 18:00

POINTS OF VIEW. Forms of Contemporary Publishing
7th & 8th of May 2010
School of Fine Arts of Lyon
Les Subsistances.
8 bis quai Saint-Vincent.
69001 Lyon

POINTS OF VIEW aims to show contemporary practices that question and redefine the conventional distribution of functions and roles within the editorial process.
In its inaugural year, POINTS OF VIEW intends to highlight the school’s role in the exploration of new editorial modalities as well as in the blurring of the boundaries between disciplines.
In the context of the development of digital forms of publishing, these new critical positions — particularly through the economic models they adopt — reflect points of view that invite a new and forward‑looking approach to printed forms of contemporary publishing.
With the participation of: Revue 2.0.1, BAT, 4 Taxis, Architectural Association Publications / Bedford Press, B42, castillo/corrales / Paraguay Press, Éditions cent pages, Cneai, Occasional Papers, Dent-De-Leone, Ink, Will Holder, Hyphen Press, Motto, Revue Parade, Les Prairies ordinaires, Rietveld Academie, Roma, Rosa B.
