BUCHPRÄSENTATION
MAYA SCHWEIZER: DIE SELBE GESCHICHTE AN EINEM ANDEREN ORT

Maya Schweizer im Gespräch mit Katja Schroeder und Jan Wenzel

MOTTO Berlin Store
Skalitzer Straße 68, 10997 Berlin

Die Publikation »Maya Schweizer: Die selbe Geschichte an einem anderen Ort, weitererzählt, verstreut, fragmentiert, täglich, rückwärts und wieder von vorn« gibt einen ersten Überblick über die Arbeiten der in Frankreich aufgewachsenen und heute in Berlin lebenden Künstlerin.

Maya Schweizer arbeitet an neuen audiovisuellen Erzählweisen, an Formen der Bild-Text-Montage, die YouTube näher stehen als dem Kino. Ausgangspunkt sind häufig alltägliche Situationen, die sie mit gefundenen und erfundenen Texten kombiniert. »Ich denke, dass in kleinen, oft auch persönlichen Handlungen auf der Straße gesellschaftliche Zustände ablesbar sind. Ich versuche, die Erzählungen in ihrer Divergenz ernst zu nehmen und mit meinen Projektionen abzugleichen«, beschreibt Maya Schweizer ihren künstlerischen Ansatz.

Sechs ihrer Videoarbeiten werden in »Die selbe Geschichte an einem anderen Ort« ausführlich kommentiert: Madleine Bernstorff, Margit Czenki, Joerg Franzbecker, Nanna Heidenreich, Marcel Odenbach und Ulrich Peltzer erzählen von ihren Eindrücken und Assoziationen und machen durch ihre Reflexionen die Bewegtbilder der Videos im Medium Buch nachvollziehbar.

»Maya Schweizer: Die selbe Geschichte an einem anderen Ort« erscheint anlässlich ihrer Ausstellung » La même histoire ailleurs« im Westfälischen Kunstverein, die vom 4. September bis 24. Oktober 2010 in Münster gezeigt wird.

Maya Schweizer:
Die selbe Geschichte an einem anderen Ort, weitererzählt, verstreut, fragmentiert, täglich, rückwärts und wieder von vorn.
The Same Story Elsewhere, continued, spread, fragmented, daily, backwards and all over again.

Chert / Motto
Skalitzerstr. 68
10997 Berlin
www.chert-berlin.com
www.mottodistribution.com

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.
