EVENTS PROGRAM – UNTER DEM MOTTO 2010

Friday 3 September

16 / 17 / 18 / 19 hrs
Åbäke: A Restricted View of Fox and His Friends, 2010

In a discussion about graphic design practices with critic Benjamin Thorel we deplored that graphic design sometimes seemed obsessed with frivolous preoccupations of style over content. We joked: “it’s like watching Fassbinder’s Fox and His Friends but just through the sequences happening in the printing/binding factory scenes”. A little later we thought exciting to actually recut the movie and were surprised to see that the story still held. Rainer, what a star.

16.30 / 17.30 / 18.30 hrs
Hanne Lippard:

Beige, 2010
This film is about a colour, and the impact it can have on its surroundings. It is about the paler shade of pale and its variety of monotony

Reflection, 2010
A reflection can not be made until some time has passed. In this reflection you can see yourself. This reflection requires that you take one step back. Two is one too much— there is only one of you. Throw a stone in the water, and it disappears. Throw a stone at the mirror, and it breaks

18-19 hrs

Eva Weinmayr with Occasional Papers — (pause) 21 scenes concerning the silence of Art in Ruins 

At regular intervals throughout the afternoon on Saturday 4 September, friends and passers-by will read passages from Eva Weinmayr’s play (pause), recently published by Occasional Papers. The collective reading – in the Chino room at Motto, and broadcast live in the courtyard between Motto and Chert – forms part of a series of interventions by Weinmayr around the (temporary?) disappearance of the English art collective Art in Ruins. To date, the series includes the film “I Wonder What the Silence Was About” (concurrently presented at ‘MISSREAD’, KW Institute for Contemporary Art) and the publication Art in Ruins and Unknown Stranger (also published by Occasional Papers).
