Stolen Works of Art by  Olivier Lebrun

This Catalogue, is a compilation of 124 works of art collected on the Interpol website on may 21st, 2010. They’re classified by Interpol as “Recent Stolen Works of Art” and reproduced here with their administrative number as caption. The process of transformation from stolen artworks to low-file jpeg reproductions, means a dematerialization of the physical pieces which exist now as a data collection. The publication uses the replication of these datas, as a tool for reinterpretation of a collection and therefore, an exhibition in this 130×200mm space

The show invites 14 artists from various countries including Germany, Australia, Belgium, Switzerland, Great Britain, Mexico and Kosovo. The different works are situated both inside the gallery space and outside of it, using part of the courtyard where Chert and Motto are located. In this way, the attention is moving between the ideas of precariousness and delicacy, creating a different approach to the public in respect of the artwork, focusing on the differences between a traditional gallery context and an extemporaneous placement.

“Alexis! What are you doing here?

“I’ve been asking that same question about you Krystle, and I still haven’t found an answer that satisfies me.”

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.

Motto Storefront @ Artspeak, Vancouver.

May 15 – July 22, 2010

Organized by Artspeak and Fillip, with Motto.

Motto Storefront transforms Artspeak into a temporary space for the sale, presentation, and discussion of contemporary art publishing. The selection of printed matter for the store has been made by Motto, a Berlin and Zürich-based bookstore and distributor specializing in experimental, small run, and self-published artist books, magazines, and fanzines.

Talks and Workshops: Saturdays at 2pm
Motto Storefront provides the context for a series of related public programming intended to create a sustained dialogue within Vancouver on issues related to the production and consumption of art publishing. Formed around an ongoing, ad hoc residency program with international publishers, designers, artists, and booksellers, this series will take the form of weekly talks, workshops, and launches investigating alternative retail models, self-initiated design practices, and small scale publishing initiatives.

Participants will include Alexis Zavialoff (Motto, Berlin); Stuart Bailey (Dexter Sinister, New York); Rob Giampietro (Project Projects, New York); Matthew Stadler and Patricia No (Publication Studio, Portland); Wendy Yao (Ooga Booga, Los Angeles); Andjeas Ejiksson (Geist, Sweden); Stand Up Comedy (Portland); Primary Information (New York); and Abi Huynh and Ross Milne (Working Format, Vancouver), amongst others.

Upcoming Events
May 15: Opening and talk by Alexis Zavialoff at 2pm
May 22: Talk by Stuart Bailey at 2pm
May 29: Talk by Rob Giampietro at 2pm

Nieves Zine Library
As a compliment to Motto Storefront, Artspeak and Fillip are very pleased to present the Nieves Zine Library, a selection of 100 zines published by Nieves, Zürich between 2004 and 2010. Photocopied in editions of only a hundred or a hundred and fifty, and almost all long since out of print, the Nieves Zine Library includes publications by Ari Marcopoulos, Stefan Marx, Olga Prader, Mark DeLong, and many others.

Forms of Stand Up Comedy
For this project, Stand Up Comedy, Portland, has programmed a series of video documentation of lectures, presentations, and conversations conducted by other people. The topics relate to books, and are interpreted by reading, reproduction, and performance. The selections discuss artifact and style as refractive and unreliable measures, and the technique of talking about people by talking about things. Runs daily.
