BRENDAN COLVERT – DRAWINGS

“Brendan Colvert lives and works on the small Scottish island of Sanday, Orkney. Since arriving at this remote outpost 14 years ago he has committed his time to painting as a daily ritual and purpose. In filtering the complex relationship between the tranquility and wildness of this immutable archipelago, and the complexities of the world beyond, Colvert has created an extraordinary body of work, with a unique vision and a universal frame of reference.”

Cross Over – Fotografie der Wissenschaft + Wissenschaft der Fotografie. Christin Müller (Ed.). Spector Books.

Cross Over – Fotografie der Wissenschaft + Wissenschaft der Fotografie. Christin Müller (Ed.). Spector Books.

Mit Texten von / with texts by Michel Frizot und Christoph Hoffmann und Kelley Wilder.

Wissenschaftliche Bilder faszinieren, weil sie Dinge und Vorgänge zeigen, die dem menschlichen Auge verborgen bleiben: Immer tiefer kann man in Mikro- und Makrokosmos eintauchen und diese in Bildern fixieren. Dient die Fotografie in der Wissenschaft daher hauptsächlich als Sehhilfe der Forschenden oder geht ihre Rolle weit darüber hinaus? Seit der Erfindung der Fotografie in den 1830er Jahren resultieren aus der wissenschaftlichen Praxis stetig neue Ansprüche an Visualisierungen und damit auch eine unablässige Ausweitung der Möglichkeiten des Mediums. Dadurch entstehen Bilder mit völlig anderen Prämissen als in der Dokumentar-, Werbe- oder Kunstfotografie. Was aber macht das delikate Verhältnis zwischen Fotografie und Wissenschaft aus? Was für Bilder entstehen dabei und wie lassen sich diese Aufnahmen lesen?

Scientific images are fascinating, because they reveal things and processes that remain hidden to the human eye. It has become possible to delve ever deeper into micro- and macrocosms and capture these worlds in images. In science does photography primarily serve as the visual aid of the researcher, or does is play a much larger role? Since the invention of photography in the 1830s new demands have been placed on the capacities of the medium as a result of developing scientific practices, which have led to the continuous fine-tuning of the possibilities of the photograph. Science thus produces images based on utterly different premises than those of documentary, advertising, or artistic photography. What defines the delicate relationship between photography and science? What photographs result, and how can they be interpreted?

Mit Werken u.a. von Anna Atkins, Auguste-Adolphe Bertsch, Hans Danuser, Liz Deschenes, Marion Denis, Harold Edgerton, Léon Foucault, Thomas Freiler, Bernhard Gardi, Raphael Hefti, Jules Janssen, Irène Joliot-Curie, Markus Krottendorfer, Albert Londe, Aïm Deüelle Lüski, Maschinensehen (Henning Arnecke, Lisa Bergmann, Christoph Oeschger, Elke Reinhuber), Melanie Matthieu, Aurélie Pétrel, Rodolphe Archibald Reiss, Hannes Rickli, Thomas Ruff, Adrian Sauer, Laurent Schmid, Sarah Schönfeld und Simon Starling.

Die Publikation erscheint anlässlich der gleichnamigen Ausstellung im Fotomuseum Winterthur (7.9. bis 17.11.2013).

Form Next To Form Next To Form. Nova Paul. Dent-De-Leone.

…is a book made from stills from Nova Paul’s 16mm film This is not Dying (2010). Two pieces of writing are included, Karl Steven’s liner notes on musician Ben Tawhiti and Gwynneth Porter and Nova Paul’s essay The Virtues of Trees that like a tree grew from conversations over a year, spanning into ideas of sovereignty, resistance, film analysis, genealogy and care of self and the world around us. RGB print processes were used in its design to echo the RGB optical process of three-colour-separation film itself. Whakarongo Mai, played by Ben Tawhiti on slide and steel guitar for This is not Dying, is reconfigured here on 7″ LP.

Inner Planets.
Cameron Jamie. Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König.

Cameron Jamie has been working with different medias such as drawing, sculpture, film, photography, performance, music and painting. For over two decades one recurring theme in his work is the mask. The work “Inner Planets” is a group of 43 handcrafted masks sculpted in clay. The artist connotes it with the multilayered paradox of the mask. In so doing he sets in motion an interplay between inside and out, between being and seeming, between what is our own and what is of others. The publication shows the work of art in all its facettes including installation shots of its presentation at the Palmenhaus des Alten Botanischen Gartens in Zurich. The book is designed by the artist himself.

Cameron Jamie arbeitet mit unterschiedlichen Medien wie Zeichnung, Skulptur, Film, Photographie, Performance, Musik und Malerei. Das Werk “Inner Planets” ist ein Ensemble von 43 Masken, die er aus Tonerde geformt hat. Der Künstler konnotiert das Werk mit der vielschichtigen Paradoxie der Maske. Dadurch setzt er das Spiel zwischen Innen und Außen, von Sein und Schein, vom Eigenen und Anderen usw. in Gang. Die Publikation zeigt das Werk in allen seinen Facetten inklusive Installationsphotos der Ausstellung im Palmenhaus des Alten Botanischen Gartens in Zürich und wurde vom Künstler selbst gestaltet.
