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. (Laura Schleussner)

Don Carlos forms an accompaniment to the exhibition Seaside Vernacular, currently on show and running until April 27th, at Utopian Slumps, 33 Guildford Lane, Melbourne.

Wednesday April 24th, 18-21hr

Book Talk: Gerard Byrne: Gestalt Forms of Loch Ness Grid Site Sequence @ Motto Charlottenborg 17.04.2013

WHERE: Motto Charlottenborg
WHEN: Wednesday April 17. at 18-20 pm

 

Researching the Myth

In this book, Gerard Byrne brings together the culmination of ten years of research into the Loch Ness Monster, the myth fuelled in the 1930s by the popular press in order to sell newspapers. Appropriating formal conventions from the history of Land art that position landscape as the “other,” Byrne has compiled a series of images that deploy Loch Ness as a signifier for the enigmatic, the unreadable. Using both the populist literature spawned by the Loch Ness myth and the photographic material his own expeditions have yielded as “found material,” Byrne has developed a project both humorous and melancholic, that ultimately reflects a crisis of belief in the photographic image that has surfaced since the last heyday of Loch Ness interest in the 1970s.

Byrne was born in Dublin in 1969 and graduated from National College of Art & Design, Dublin. In 2007 he represented Ireland at the Venice Biennale and the Biennale de Lyon and in 2008 at the Sydney Biennial, the Gwangju Biennial, and the Turin Triennial. Recent exhibitions include solo shows at MK Gallery, Milton Keynes; Lismore Castle, Co Waterford; Glasgow International Festival of Art; Lisson Gallery, London; and Green On Red Gallery, Dublin. Group exhibitions include “Little Theatre of Gestures”, Malmo Konsthall, Sweden; “Slow Movement” at the Kunsthalle Bern, Switzerland; and “Sense and Sentiment” at the Augarten Contemporary, Vienna, Austria.
Gerard Byrne is Professor at the School of Time-based Media at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen.

The book is co-produced by Milton Keynes Gallery and Fondazione Galleria Civica, Trento.

SAN ROCCO #6: Collaborations

“Architecture is a collective knowledge produced through the efforts of a multitude.within their multitude, two forms of collaboration unfold: a synchronic one, and a diachronic one, which connects all design attempts in a multifaceted Architectura Universalis.

The Possibility of collaboration now relies upon a broader “agreement with” all previous architecture.To put it another way, collaboration today is based on collaborations of the past. Indeed, it is possible to collaborate precisely because there is a shared body of knowledge that provides the basis for agreement. Collaboration is possible because architectural knowledge is one and given, and thus inevitably shared”

SAN ROCCO is a magazine about architecture.
SAN ROCCO does not solve problems. It is not a useful magazine.
SAN ROCCO is neither serious nor friendly.
SAN ROCCO is written by architects. As such, SAN ROCCO is not particularly intelligent, or philologically accurate. In SAN ROCCO, pictures are more important than texts.
SAN ROCCO is serious. It takes the risk of appearing naive.
SAN ROCCO will not last for ever. There will be no more than 20 SAN ROCCOs for the single five-year plan.
San Rocco is the name of a place in Monza, not a nice place. Giorgio Grassi and Aldo Rossi engaged in a design competition for this place in 1971. The project was not built; ordinary housing blocks were built instead.

A new art school? Statements by 30 artists, writers and architects.

Over the past two decades, Berlin’s growth into an international art metropolis has brought many people to the city. A number of these imports teach art – seemingly in all other cities but Berlin. The city’s two schools providing full-scale arts education – the Universität der Künste (UdK) and the Hochschule Berlin Weissensee – were established long before 1989.

Since 2006, if not before, discussions about the UdK’s organizational and administrative politics have flared up – generated, for one, by the stepping down of Stan Douglas and Daniel Richter as professors, a development the UdK attempted to atone for by appointing prominent professors such as Olafur Eliasson (whose assignment though ends March 2014). Weissensee has seen an outflow of professors with international profiles to teaching posts in other cities – Karin Sander has taught in Zurich since 2007, Katharina Grosse in Düsseldorf since 2010 – and the school has gone the way of appointing guest professors and lecturers.

Reputations, ratings and capacities for reform aside, the question still presents itself whether Berlin, given its manifold art scene, is in need of new models and directions for its art education. In 2006–7, the one-year temporary project unitednationsplaza underscorred the city’s desire for an informal art school mediating its larger, international art discourse.

Does the current situation suffice? If not, what form would a new institute ideally take? frieze d/e asked Monica BONVICINI, Helmut DRAXLER, Tom HOLERT and Robert KUDIELKA for extended responses to these questions. A set of additional artists and theorists also contributed shorter statements.

Finally, six artists and architects – Roger BUNDSCHUH, Eva GRUBINGER, Sabine HORNIG, Michelle HOWARD, KUEHN MALVEZZI, and Studio MIESSEN – were asked to submit concrete drafts for the design and structure of a new art academy.

And much more…
