Svart Metall, Grant Willing

Svart Metall by Grant Willing

Grant Willing’s ongoing photographic series Svart Metall is a meditation on the ineffable qualities of an unsubtle musical subculture, Black Metal. Though its sonic qualities are challenging even for some metalheads, its Nordic atmospherics and paganistic themes are arguably evocative for a diverse range of artists. The photographs are allusive of the themes black metal culture treats, and presented in a surprisingly informal way—printed on bleached newsprint stock. On this ephemeral paper, the photographs retain a stately quality but gain a more disorienting sense.

Modern Life of The Soul by Melanie Bonajo

Melanie Bonajo’s series of photographs Modern Life of The Soul, created in collaboration with Kinga Kielcynzska, make up this beautifully designed tabloid-format artist’s book. Depicting it’s characters in the depths of the polish woodland, the images are deep rooted in the idea of humankind’s return to nature. Through Bonajo’s recurring use of the body as part of obscure sculptures, the work is both haunting and beautiful and somehow gives a nod to religion along the way.

When Europe Speaks with One Voice
F.R.DAVID – THE “WITH LOVE,” ISSUE
Will Holder
Wednesday, 22.7.2010, 8 pm
Vortrag in englischer Sprache
http://corner-college.com/Veranstaltungen/1279749600/

During this evening, designer, editor and writer Will Holder presents the seventh issue of de Appel’s “F.R.David”, dealing with “the compression of letter-writing as cybernetic translation – vs. redundant delivery of intention – from one form to another, ‘With Love,”. Including contributions from Alison Knowles, Tine Melzer, Esperanza Rosales and others…

“An Attempt to Evolve, XXIV: Berkeley the circling dog”

Two dogs sit in a room, furnished by a nurturing hand (cut flowers, floral curtains, labelled storage pots). Actually, one of them doesn’t sit, nor lie on the plainly up holstered chaise-longue. His ears hang down, as do the corners of his mouth and the brow above the eyes that
stare desperately into an unseen space. His head is propped up by the wide back of the chaise-longue, which also ensures that he won’t see – only hear the questions from behind his right shoulder, of – the other dog with the pointed ears, sitting: wide-eyed, upright and smiling in
a straight-backed chair; he supports a pad on his right leg (crossed over left), and pen, in hand, to take down the response to

“And if you ever did catch your tail, are you sure it would make you happy?”

Die Veranstaltungsreihe untersucht die strategische Verwendung von historischem Material im Rahmen künstlerischer Praxen. Anhand von Vorträgen soll thematisiert werden, wie bildende Künstler gegenwärtig historisches Material benutzen um aktuelle Diskurse zu befragen oder
zu unterminieren, und welche narrativen Modelle von (Kunst-)Geschichte dieser Beschäftigung zugrunde liegen.

“When Europe Speaks with One Voice” wird veranstaltet vom Master of Fine Arts (ZHdK), unter der Leitung von Lucie Kolb und Romy Rüegger.
