Nina Kurtela, Leftovers of Endurance<\/em><\/p>\n

Leftovers of endurance\u00a0is a project that collects, archives, and discusses topics related to the durational performance \/\u00a0video work Transformance by Nina Kurtela made in Uferstudios, Berlin 2010.<\/p>\n

The main focus of this project is to exchange and build the discourse of writing about artworks and\/or the related subjects\u00a0that are engaged. Seventeen authors reflect on the work from different perspectives, touching upon the questions that are\u00a0set and probed in Transformance.<\/p>\n

From their different backgrounds in theory, science, art criticism and art practice, they are looking at the work as well as\u00a0the practice of writing from different perspectives.<\/p>\n

Therefore the book serves as a platform for possible discussions, opening discursive thinking around performative practices\u00a0within contemporary art.<\/p>\n

Stef Heidhues, Trespassers Only<\/em><\/p>\n

Zwischen Vertrautem und Fremdem
\nSpannungsreiche Gegens\u00e4tzlichkeiten bestimmen das Werk von Stef Heidhues (geb. 1975 in Washington D.C., lebt und arbeitet in Berlin), das von ihrem allt\u00e4glichen Umfeld inspiriert ist. Und so f\u00fchrt auch der Titel ihrer ersten Monografie\u00a0“Trespassers Only”\u00a0(dt. Nur f\u00fcr Unbefugte) mitten hinein in die Themen, mit denen sich die K\u00fcnstlerin besch\u00e4ftigt. In Heidhues\u2019 Werk geht es um Grenzen und ihre \u00dcberschreitungen, um Markierungen und deren Missachtung sowie um Zuschreibung und Umschreibung. Dabei spielt der ungew\u00f6hnliche Einsatz des jeweiligen Materials eine besondere Rolle: Aus Fahrradketten werden Flaggen, Motorradhelme werden in Keramik modelliert, Stahl, Treibholz, Latexband, Stoff und Pappe bilden Z\u00e4une, Schranken und Barrikaden. Ihre Arbeiten handeln von unserer Gesellschaft, sind ein Statement gegen die allzu schnelle Zuschreibung und Wertung vermeintlich klarer Sachverhalte und ein Pl\u00e4doyer f\u00fcr mehr Empathie.
\nMit einem Vorwort von Reinhard Spieler, einer Einleitung von Barbara J. Scheuermann und einem Interview mit der K\u00fcnstlerin von Hans-J\u00f6rg Clement.<\/p>\n

Between the Familiar and the Foreign
\nDynamic oppositions inform the work of Stef Heidhues (b. Washington, D.C., 1975; lives and works in Berlin), which is inspired by the everyday world around her. And so the title of her first monograph, “Trespassers Only,” leads right into the issues the artist explores. Heidhues\u2019s art is about boundaries and their transgression, about demarcations and the disregard for them, about attributions and their redistribution. The unconventional use of her various materials plays a central role: bicycle chains become flags; motorcyclists\u2019 helmets are actually ceramic models; steel, driftwood, latex tape, fabric, and cardboard form fences, barriers, and barricades. Her works speak of our society, taking a stance against the overly quick categorization and valuation of what seem to be unequivocal matters of fact and articulating a plea for more empathy.
\nWith a preface by Reinhard Spieler, an introduction by Barbara J. Scheuermann, and an interview with the artist by Hans-J\u00f6rg Clement.<\/p>\n
