Michal Glikson has been exploring peripatetic art practice with a focus on painting as a means of negotiating cross-cultural experience and the uncertainty of transitional life since 2006. “I have long been fascinated with painting as a way of looking at the world, of reaching out to and connecting with others. My work springs from a deep curiosity about travel and its capacity for bringing me into the world, and placing me in proximity to its pressing issues and concerns.” The Australindopak Archive is a trilogy of scroll paintings that chronicle immersive journeys in Australia, India and Pakistan between 2012 and 2015. The paintings allow a window into a lived experiences of peripatetic life filled with encounters with extra/ordinary people.

The starting point for these works is the landscape, not as a literal representation, but instead focusing on the emotive qualities of place. Using an objective palette tied to his family’s home in the Scottish highlands, colour acts as a vehicle to reveal the picture planes underlying points of reference; with the structure, design, and colour harmony being grounded in the everyday, the viewer is encouraged to readdress notions of their surroundings, where the familiar is opened up and made full of possibility. Daniel F. Herrmann, Eisler Curator & Head of Curatorial Studies at Whitechapel Gallery, London (UK) describes Eric Cruikshank’s work approach as “…analysing the qualities of colour and light. Instead of imitating landscapes, it explores notions of painterly space. And instead of illustrating stories, it investigates the process of painting itself.” and “With its focus on the chromatic qualities and the process […]
Second Liquid State A collaboration by Mariko Hori (Japan/Serbia), Petra Hudcova (Czech Republic) and Eeva-Liisa Puhakka (Finland) 9th of September 7pm >top Schillerpalais, Schillerpromenade 4, 12049 Berlin-Neukölln www.top-ev.de Second Liquid State encompasses new works examining different aspects of biodiversity. Concerns for the ecological and the poetic are knitted together in the setting of the gallery space. The show combines three different approaches. Hori studies the definition of a river and water and its borders, beginnings and ends. From where to where can we call a river a river? Can we separate it from the environment? Hudcova’s works are a response to her mediation on the theme of nature within urban context and her questioning of the political role of wasteland spaces in current city development. Puhakka’s installation meditates the impact of climate change within the context of water and is a comment on our current environmental crisis. Second liquid state plays with the secret and beauty of water and hints at the recent physical discoveries that water has 4 states instead of 3. Physicians found out that liquid water has a second liquid state. We all believed that there is 3 basic states: solid, liquid and gas but now scientists […]
Attokoussy الطقوسي workshop, conferenz 8. – 17. September 2017 in Marrakech/Morocco exhibition, discussion 19.-23. September 2017 at LeCube in Rabat/Morocco exhibition 15. November 2017 at hinterland in Vienna/Austria a project by Elisabeth Piskernik, Le Cube / Rabat “Attokoussy” is an art and collective research project that opens a space of reflection and expression on rites and superstitions in Morocco. In this context we want to invite four Moroccan artists to reflect together on these issues within the framework of a research and production residency. The project also foresees a collaboration with two Kurdish artists, in order to emerge from a construction of European-centered knowledge, to incite everyone to decenter his point of view and to shift preconceived ideas that continue to nourish archaic discourses. The period of residence will be enriched by meetings and round tables between artists, researchers and anthropologists of the Maghreb focusing their research on these themes. In partnership with the Centre Jacques Berque we will also organize a public study day reactivating this forgotten, invisible or folklorized intangible cultural heritage.

Saturday, 16th of September, 9pm at >top Schillerpalais, Schillerpromenade 4, 12059 Berlin For the book release there will be a short presentation of the AIM network. Several Artists and Initiatives of the network will attend and celebrate at this unique evening at >top Schillerpalais. The AIM Network is a publication about the AIM Network, a diverse network of European artists’ initiatives and their exchange of knowledge and experiences over a period of six years. The members got to know each other at Supermarket, an international art fair for artist-run spaces held annually in Stockholm, and continued meeting in different cities in and out of Europe to discuss key issues of self-organised exhibition spaces. They also engaged in an idea of developing an online Artist-Run Map that would gather artist-run initiatives to enhance their visibility and provide space for artistic exchange. There can be found many examples of attempts to create a similar map, but they have all failed, being either incomplete or becoming fast outdated. AIM have discussed the problematics surrounding this project, identified the main obstacles and developed a number of conceivable solutions, but as of now have not gathered the resources to perfect and launch a functioning Artist-Run […]

“I mostly work with drawings and photographs, but also with slow image recording processes that might be generally termed heliography. These are processes tying the act of leaving traces to the recording of materials’ deterioration caused by sunlight exposure. …………… One of the first techniques I tried was developing surfaces drawn in ball-point pen in the sunlight. After a few trials, I noticed that blue ball-point pen works like a photosensitive emulsion. And this was the most straightforward link between drawing and photography. Basically, each photograph set was equally a drawing. …………….. On the back of each such photograph I write the exposure time. It may vary from one week in the summer, to one month in the winter. Waiting time has become, through this process, a time to reflect and prepare other images for development“, Răzvan Anton.

Select these vertices so that their points of origin encompass three different continents. Collapse the scale so that all three fit within the same few rooms in Berlin, and make this space confirm to David Hilbert’s concept allowing endless possibilities of multidimensional calculations. Permit collaboration, but without insisting on it. Will the positions conform, converge, simply co-exist, or even collide? What will be the measurable outcome? The initiating spark for me wanting to set this experiment up, was the news that Korean artist Soyoung Chung would spend a few months in Europe, first at a research residency at Delfina Foundation in London, then producing new work at the Z/KU here in Berlin. Knowing Soyoung’s work from a residency in Ireland more than a decade ago, it has since positively fascinated me. The opportunity of engaging her for a show at our project space HilbertRaum, now that she was finally back in Europe, was […]

[ A Bomb is an explosive weapon that uses the exothermic reaction of an explosive material to provide an extremely sudden and violent release of energy. ] [ A nuclear bomb is an explosive device that derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions, either fission or from a combination of fission and fusion reactions. It is a weapon of mass destruction.] There was no more treathening menace for mankind during the 20th century than an man made catastrophy by massive use of nuclear weapons. This threat is build and symbolized by one singular term: „the nuclear bomb“, or simply „the bomb“. During the cold war the military escalation between the Soviet Union and the U.S. lead us several times towards the edge of an atomic war, which surely means the end of zivilisation and very probably also the end of mankind.

“How might we expose the fundamental structures and dominant values of work, including its temporalities, socialities, hierarchies, and subjectivities as pressing political phenomena? If why we work, where we work, with whom we work, what we do at work, and how long we work are social arrangements and hence properly political decisions, how might more of this territory be reclaimed as viable terrains of debate and struggle?” –The Problem with Work, Kathi Weeks New Poetics of Labor aims to create opportunities for artists/workers to have a dialogue through experimental exhibitions in spaces where production takes place. Through art we learn about labor and there is a way that through labor we can also redefine art. When the languages of artists and workers are examined under the same lens a common ground is exposed, and the absurdities of a tired structure translate into people’s readiness for resistance. At New Poetics of Labor we are asking ourselves: -What examining labor might mean for resistance, especially in developing countries? -What reflecting on this reality as a worker might mean for the artist, and similarly, what thinking of himself as an artist might mean for a waged worker? We are inviting artists and writers […]
“In these times, it’s become increasingly hard for artists to find a place to take risks, a safe haven where they can develop daring new work. One theatre has regularly bucked the trend, making its mission to ensure that artists have a home for their R&D, and that theatregoers can sample the exciting results.” – OBIE Committee, Ross Wetzsteon Award to HERE HERE is thrilled to announce the opening of the annual application period for the HERE Artist Residency Program (HARP). One of the most robust residency programs of this nature in the country and serving as a national model, HARP provides a commission, development support, career planning, and a full production to hybrid artists, all within a collaborative environment of peers working across disparate art forms – including theatre, dance, music, puppetry, visual art, and new media.

The exhibition includes three installations created by Gidi Gilam, Noa Ginzburg and Anat Martkovich, and offers a playful and experimental approach to the process of artistic creation, as well as to the gallery space. Gilam, Ginzburg and Martkovich each take an interest in the way in which a sketch can be interpreted and moved between different mediums through translations of the artistic, physical, and the picturesque space, and the examination of the forces and conventions that drive the artistic world.
The cooperative Alfred Gallery decided to dedicate the year 2018 to the theme of “Vision and Failure”. By dealing with the chosen subject, Alfred Gallery seeks to expand the field of meanings that are embedded between the words: vision, success, failure, intent and improvisation, and to raise questions about the factors that define these concepts, and to break up centers of power.
Alfred Gallery invites artists from various fields to offer an ongoing collaboration with the audience that will take place over a week during August 2018.
Idris is starting the new year with a new exhibit! We welcome you to join us for the opening of the exhibition “Motion Trap” by Michael Halak and Samah Shihadi. Thursday 11 January at 20:00 In this exhibit the artists deal with the notions of movement and transition. Shihadi’s works convey the physical entrapments of a traditional and patriarchal society, which she expresses through the movements of a female dancer. Halak’s work reflect the relation between individuals and physical locations, via the imagery and memories connected to a modern nomad. Both artists bring the issue of movement to the forefront only to find themselves entrapped: on the one hand dance which is perceived as a freeing act transforms into an illusion only persistent so long as action is taking place, and the modern nomad who is on a continuous move lacks belonging and finds himself in constant uncertainty whereby what is meant to be a temporary condition into a permanent state of affairs. The Artists Michael Halak: born in 1975 in Fassuta village (Upper Galilee). After studying Fine Arts at Haifa University, Halak won a residence scholarship in 2005 to attend the Florence Academy of Art. He received a MFA […]

Ed Ruscha’s Hollywood Boulevard on Hollywood Boulevard Iconic Los Angeles artist Ed Ruscha photographed iconic Los Angeles streets beginning in the 1960s. By mounting a camera to a moving car, Ruscha documented sequential storefronts on the north side of Hollywood Boulevard between McCadden Place and Hudson Avenue, and on the south side of the street between Wilcox Avenue and McCadden Place. The images in the top black and white “filmstrip” show what the Boulevard looked like in 1973, and the bottom one in color documents the same locations in 2002. The building that LACE has occupied since 1994 at 6522 Hollywood Boulevard on the south side appears in this work. LACE was founded in Downtown Los Angeles at 240 S. Broadway and then moved to 1804 Industrial Street before its long-time tenure on Hollywood Blvd. The organization celebrates its 40th Anniversary as the longest-running contemporary artists space in Los Angeles. LACE has been located on Hollywood Boulevard for 24 years and is exhibiting this artwork in its window on Hollywood Boulevard 24 hours a day through the end of 2018. Thanks to Ed Ruscha, and our friends at the Ed Ruscha studio and the Getty Research Institute for this loan. This video is part of Pacific […]
The Contours Of a Liminal Mind is an exhibition that focuses on the threshold between colliding cultures – the liminal space- which lets something new and unknowingly arise and open up for negotiation of meanings and representations.
The Archival Impulse: 40 Years at LACE Curated by Matias Viegener with Exhibition Design by Jeff Cain Opening Reception: March 15, 2018, 7-10 PM On view:March 16 – 2018 The Archival Impulse: 40 Years at LACE is a Project Room installation that pulls from material found in LACE’s archive that either highlights or disputes our conceptions of LACE’s history. Accumulated over 40 years, it has no organizing system beyond what LACE staff considered worth saving. It enfolds many stories about the space, less woven than overlaid and amassed. This exhibition is a conversation about our expectations of the archive and the things we expect to find, contrasted against the material that does find its way in. This is particularly poignant in the case of an archive that accumulates rather than is curated over time, yielding space for a kind of counter-curation. Includes video works curated by Anne Bray featuring: Reza Abdoh, Skip Arnold, Fu-Ding Cheng, Jeanne Finley, Doug Henry, Cheng-Sim Lim, Susan Mogul, Eric Saks, Jim Shaw, and more. Archives are always bigger than us, bigger than the image we have of them, more than we can take in. Archives cannot be summarized nor adequately represented. Optimally, archives never end: everything is archivable, though not everything enters the archive, and unexpected and decontextualized things appear regularly. […]
While life in the surrounding city of Berlin is hectic and fast-paced the performance project A Room for Oneself by Irene Accardo and Heini Nukari at Centrum is a means to decelerate and retreat. The performance was developed by the two artists in order to create a space for inner observation and relaxation. A Room for Onself is thus intended as a gift and offer from the performers to the visitors. In the former red light district of Neukölln, instead of paid erotic services, Accardo and Nukari offer a gesture of love and art as a spiritual experience.
Leere Sockel / Entfernte Monumente (empty pedestals /removed monuments) Video, Fotografie, Installation Duration: 23th March – 15th April 2018 Artists: Tina Griffith, János Brückner, Nicole Marc, Constanza Rossi, Gözde Güngör, Marlene Bart, Marisa Benjamin Initiator: Dr. Lisa Glauer a cooperation project between: Institut für Kunst im Kontext / Universität der Künste Berlin Charité Mitte von Berlin ———————————————— Opening Times: thursday – sunday 3-7 pm ———————————————— The Organ of Critical Arts is presenting work developed within the des Seminar Empty Pedestals, Removed Monuments at the Institute for Art in Context of the University of the Arts, Berlin. Tina Griffith, János Brückner, Nicole Marc, Constanza Rossi, Marlene Bart, Marisa Benjamin snd Gözde Güngör worked on the theme of removed monuments that can be found all over memory landscapes and cultural geographies. Often the desire is voiced to mark these changes, to comment on them or to make them visible, or with a sort of copy paste, to reverse the removal. The artists explore what extended and possibly entirely different possibilities might exist, to react to the empty pedestals, beyond the desire, to imagine wholeness where it has been disrupted. How can these other, new, expanded and possibly less monumental ideas me communicated? […]

ITSLIQUID GROUP is proud to announce the CALL FOR ARTISTS for SURFACES FESTIVAL, that will be presented in Venice from 26-27th May 2018 to 25th November 2018 at THE ROOM Contemporary Art Space, Palazzo Ca’ Zanardi and other prestigious venues and historical buildings, during the same period of the BIENNALE ARCHITETTURA 2018 – 16th International Architecture Exhibition. SURFACES FESTIVAL consists of 3 main exhibitions focused on different themes: BODIES (May 26 – July 12, 2018), PLACES (July 27 – September 13, 2018), and SPACES (September 28 – November 25, 2018); an Experimental division dedicated to video-art and performing art and the Venice Architecture Academy. The festival analyzes the idea of human and urban places, how people live them and how they are modified in contemporary society. Every human being lives in a world in which surfaces shape their attitudes and behaviors, limiting freedom and creating a sense of alienation. The man reacts breaking the limits and finding a new way of life. We imagine a world of “liquid bodies and cities“, where differences create new possibilities, developing new structures, phisical, intellectual and spiritual. The festival aims to analyze the relationship between body and space in contemporary time. More info: http://www.itsliquid.com/call-surfaces-venice-may-nov-2018.html […]

The archive serves her as material, is both a resource and an aesthetic reference and often forms the starting point for the artistic interventions of Selma Weber.

SFSIA | Berlin, titled “Art and the Poetics of Praxis in Cognitive Capitalism”, will engage with critical concerns of past programs —estrangement, individuation, and collectivity— in order to consider the performative power of poetry. Through deep readings, workshops, and lectures, we will strive to discover new words, meanings, and rhythms of resistance and reconstruction.
As a small child, Sunday morning meant cartoons. It was a religious experience which couldn’t be missed. There wasn’t a crueler punishment than the ban on watching cartoons. But the times soon changed, and we could watch cartoons almost anytime, having discovered the existence of dedicated TV channels that broadcasted cartoons only. My infatuation would eventually transform into boredom in this new realm of plenitude. And then slowly I stopped watching cartoons altogether. Almost. -Ana Botezatu Ana Botezatu’s first solo exhibition in Cluj reminds us that being a so-called adult doesn’t mean to only be doing the things we are supposed and expected to do. It is not a call to arms in a revolution against normativity, but rather a gentle whisper that tells us not to forget the curiosity, the fascination, the blissful joy and even the sadness and frights of being a child. Ana Botezatu, b. 1982, lives and works in Berlin. Working with different mediums, from ceramics to embroidery, from toys to collage, from food to found objects, her works follow a thorough process of naturalization until completely blended with her own world. With a special care for all symbols, patterns, plants and creatures, profoundly and sensitively […]

Opening reception for Bold Visual Language by Emory Douglas. 2-4pm Emory Douglas Conversation 4-6pm Reception Bold Visual Language: Emory Douglas considers the legacy and diasporic impact of the visual artist Emory Douglas. Having served as the Minister of Culture of the Black Panther Party and the graphic artist of the Black Panther Party Newspaper Emory Douglas’s vision of black radical politics as a set of aesthetic concerns graphed a grammar of global struggle. Douglas imaging of anti-black police brutality and economic/housing discrimination was interlaced with American Imperialist projects and Anti colonist struggles happening globally. The enhancement and saturation of vibrant colors, figurative refusal, kinship and border crossing visions of justice are the dialectics of possibility. The immediacy of global terror was a call to resistance by everyday folks who were depicted as active icons in the project for liberation. Bold Visual Language locates these initial concerns of Douglas in a contemporary discourse amongst visual artist and current social movements. This exhibition features Black Panther Party Newspaper’s, Historical from Southern California Library and re-mixed images of posters by Emory Douglas, works by Sadie Barnette, Patrick Martinez, and Caleb Duarte in collaboration with Zapatista community women and Douglas. Public programming includes a conversation with Emory […]

This will be at Espai sant marc next wednesday the 20th of June, from 11am till 14pm and from 20pm till 22pm. “During my time in the studio of Sant Marc, Sineu, Mallorca, I want to make a new installation of small works and performance art, that are inspired by things at this moment, like Sineu Market, World Cup Russia 2018, spanish funeral and death of a guitarist from The Hague, The Netherlands, but also by inspiration by mallorquin nature and my own physical state!” Yvo van der Vat (1974) was born in Voorburg , the Netherlands and is now living and working in Dordrecht.

Camila Galaz “He pleaded so much that he lost his voice. His bones began to fill with words.” Gabriel García Márquez, One Hundred Years of Solitude. Reparar Means To Repair uses video and gesture to explore intergenerational rifts created by mass violence and the attempts to mend damage done – both governmental reparations and personal acts of repair and remembering. The exhibition looks at the relationship between official narratives of reparation and the burden of personal healing through the frame of language and memory. Camila Galaz lives and works in Melbourne, where she completed Honours in Fine Art in 2012. In her painting and video-based practice, she explores the role of performance and memory in the construction of identity. She also works collaboratively with the art collective TBP.

Gerard Crewdson For SOUND SERIES 2018, Gerard Crewdson presents site-specific acoustic sound sculptures. The centrepiece of the exhibition is a natural horn, nearly 5 metres long, made from a single hollow tube (like a didgeridoo) and played with a mouthpiece (like a Swiss alphorn). The horn resembles a ‘serpent’ – not only the creature – but also the instrument of that name which was the predecessor of the modern-day tuba. Low brass instruments have traditionally been associated with raising the voices of the dead in both Western and non-Western cultures. These are the ‘serpent songs’ of the title but also the ‘windshadows’ – a compound word taken from a Paul Celan poem, Weiss Und Leicht / White and Light. This might be read as a wind of shades, of ghosts, blowing over the genocidal landscape of post WWII Europe. BLINDSIDE stands upon stolen, never ceded Wurundjeri land – a genocidal landscape with its own wind of shades, of ghosts, of voices lost or never heard. Crewdson’s other sound sculptures – a ‘Rice Wheel’ and ‘Galileo Drum’ – generate sound through gravity-produced falling motion, thereby also acknowledging the Wurundjeri ground upon which the gallery and surrounding city, stand.

Exhibition opening Friday, June 22, 2018, 6–9pm Open June 23 & 24th 2018, 12-6pm ”Nothing and nobody exists in this world whose very being does not presuppose a spectator.” – Hannah Arendt, The Life of the Mind, 1973 As part of the 48 Stunden Neukölln Festival, 2018, SomoS Art House, Berlin, presents an exhibition by a selection of artists who reflect on authenticity, subjective reality, behavioral patterns and performativity of the self. In our professional environment, on the internet, within gender and family roles, as artists, it can be said that our being is always layered with often highly coded performative elements. The tension between inner being and public persona is described by Jorge Luis Borges as a sharp divide, while in Hannah Arendt’s view, “nothing and nobody exists in this world whose very being does not presuppose a spectator.” Arendt’s view seems fitting in a time where, for better or worse, our public behavior is constantly under close scrutiny. Enabled by rapidly changing technologies, it is measured, and influenced by outside factors. Governmental, political and commercial monitoring and psychological profiling are all pervasive. The interest in our genuine private selves behind the public persona is enormous. At the same […]
Familiar Signals is the title of an installation of sound and text works by Sybella Perry made together with her father and her sister, over a period of nine months whilst coming to terms with a traumatic accident that affected the family. The works draw on sounding and listening as a means to create and share spaces of intimacy and inter-subjectivity. The artist uses tonality to contrast familiar occurrences and unexpected events, both in music and in everyday encounters.
Opening Reception & Performance; June 26th 2018, 6-9pm Performance begins at 8pm Duration: June 27- 30 2018, daily 2-7pm SomoS Art House Berlin is proud to present a multimedia installation from Iranian-Canadian artist Anahita Norouzi titled “de- + patterned: a space in-between,” taking place June 27-30th 2018. In this presentation, the artist draws from her own personal archive of memories, texts, and family stories to revisit and at times revise the historical events surrounding the Iranian Revolution and the unlawful incarcerations that occurred both before and after regime change. Text, images, video, and objects are interwoven to create an unstable narrative to be decoded by the viewer and which will be elaborated upon during a performance by the artist on the opening night. Likening the institutionalized suppression of history with the internalized process of memory repression, Norouzi uses the power of her own writing on the events from her family history and the power of photographs to invoke memory. She juxtaposes objectivity in the form of factual accounting of events and geography with the speculative and counterfactual recounting of secondhand information passed down from her father. The imperfection and ambiguity of memory is both an effect of the traumatic relationship […]

Black and White (and Red All Over): Part 3 Exhibition in Toolbox and OKK from the 29th of June until the 15th of July 2018 This exhibition, Black and White (and Red All Over) is now the third version of an exhibition first held at The Bogart Salon in 2013, then at ArtHelix Gallery in 2016. It was then expanded to travel to Galleria Huuto in Helsinki, Finland and now makes its next stop in Berlin at Organ kritischer Kunst (Organ of critical Arts). The title of the exhibition is based on the old joke of “What’s black and white and re(a)d all over?…a newspaper.” The idea is that while the works here have no actual formal connection they are, nonetheless all black and white…and can, and should be “read all over”. It’ also a way of re-thinking the “curated” exhibition -which usually relies on formal similarities- as a text or newspaper with each “article” or art work as separate entities to be read by themselves, and only held together by the concept of the black and whiteness of the newspaper itself. The show is then like a newspaper, full of content, with many different artists all addressing a […]

GUIDELINES Research/Process Experimentation-Context-Communities-Body/Territory/Spatiality-From local to global AADK Spain is an international artistic platform that opens up spaces for research and contemporary creation. With a focus set on experimental and creative processes, its primary interest is to explore the notions of body, territory, and spatiality through an interdisciplinary approach. The platform advocates for the decentralization of culture and the access to contemporary art in non-urban areas. It addresses local issues as a mean to understand global problems. Currently based in Centro Negra (Blanca, Murcia) AADK Spain holds several programs among which its Artistic Residencies Program stands out. Deeply rooted in its context, said program constitutes a framework for research and debate where knowledge exchange and creative collaboration are always encouraged. Besides the aforementioned, the platform also holds a wide number of activities, workshops and events that enrich the stay of the artists in residence. Furthermore, AADK Spain waves networks with other cultural and artistic enterprises in order to facilitate mobility for the artists that it hosts and foster their work at national and international circuits.

Con Artist Collective is proud to present a group exhibition from members of the Collective. This show is all things American. Whatever it means to our Artists. Classic Americana, political statements, cheesecake, whatever makes you think ‘murica.
As a traditionally white and male institution, the frat holds a powerful weight of race and gender, asserting the continuation of racial and hetero-normative lifestyles into a future that has never been more ambiguous on these fronts. Increasing tension and violence around fraternity and sorority houses over the past two years suggest an intensification of cultural and ideological performance in response to shifting sexual and racial paradigms. Consider the suspension of fraternity activity on both the CalPoly and Texas State campuses following instances of racism and death, both this year. These are only two instances of what seems like constant issues that are particularly alcohol/drug related, sex/gender/body related, or race related. From Animal House to Old School, we are asked to condone the youthful exploits of men. Neighbors 2 complicated the landscape only minimally by collaging the visual and behavioral attributes of frat boys onto the bodies of female actresses. Heavy Fingering addresses the frat as a site of extreme action, extreme performance, and extreme power in the psyche of Americans of any gender, whether as fear or as self-validating energy. Rarely has this site been addressed in an art context, where populations tend to organize themselves in resistance to […]

And welcome aboard Return Flight MEL>CHC: a multidisciplinary, trans-Tasman trip from Melbourne to Christchurch, and back again. For our second edition, Return Flight asked ten artists from Melbourne and New Zealand to create works that commented on the theme of ‘home’. We then paired each artwork with a writer from the opposite place and asked them to respond. Writers could engage with the artworks however they liked, but we didn’t let them off that easy: artists’ identities were withheld until the very end. Afterwards, we sat our artists down for a Skype call with their assigned writers to discuss the collaborative process. You’ll find the transcripts of these conversations in the print edition of Return Flight: MEL>CHC, and you’ll see and hear them at our Melbourne and Christchurch launches. Curated by Elizaveta Maltseva, edited by Megan Anderson and designed by Jacqui Hagen, Return Flight features works and interviews by Drew Pettifer, TextaQueen, Sean M. Whelan and Selina Tusitala Marsh, which […]
Opening show for Young Joon Kwak & Mutant Salon Summer Residency: CAVERNOUS Young Joon Kwak (b. 1984 in Queens, NY) is a LA-based multi-disciplinary artist working primarily through sculpture, performance, video, and collaboration. Her work aims to change how we view our bodies by reimagining their form, functionality, and materiality—from static and bound to pre-inscribed power structures, to an expanded sense of bodies and their environs as mutable and open-ended. She is the founder of Mutant Salon, a roving beauty salon/platform for experimental performance collaborations with her community of queer, trans, femme, POC artists and performers, and the lead performer in the electronic-dance-noise band Xina Xurner. Performances and exhibitions include: the Hammer Museum, The Broad, REDCAT, and ONE National LGBT Archives, Los Angeles; Regina Rex and Smack Mellon, Brooklyn; Southern Exposure, San Francisco; Museum of Contemporary Art, Denver; Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; and Pavillon Vendôme Centre d’Art Contemporain, Clichy, France. During Summer 2018, Kwak will be the Artist-in-Residence at LACE (LA). Kwak was recently awarded the Art Matters Grant and the Rema Hort Mann Foundation’s Artist Community Engagement Grant. She received an MFA from the University of Southern California, MA in Humanities from the University of Chicago, and a BFA from […]

Following the success of our first Not A Thing show, the Con Artist Collective is proud to present Not A Thing II because form is still overrated! In this follow up show pure abstraction reigns supreme as we explore the indefinable. Let’s get abstract and downright expressive in this show of abstraction! “I’m not an abstractionist. I’m not interested in the relationship of color or form or anything else. I’m interested only in expressing basic human emotions: tragedy, ecstasy, doom, and so on.” ― Mark Rothko Flyer Artwork by Moody Marinaro
What would happen if the ground was up? What if we were grounded from above? A possible answer might be levitation, where gravity still holds but in another way; something between the free-floating flux of total freedom in generic abstraction and the pull of gravity in realism of matter. Such balancing acts were performed through a variety of elements in Martin Blake’s previous paintings. Using pieces of torn paper on canvas as part of the composition created points of gravity within the rectangular space, a limitation that opened up a space for dialog. Another method used by the artist is wide brush strokes: between the largely empty white background of the canvas and thin lines of colour that have to obey the defined laws of matter and motion, a space opens up for a play of fore- and background, for a temporary balancing of the mythical and the human, for the risky practice of making transient acts permanent in matter and static pigments transient in movement, for what is called “painting”. In his latest project at Centrum, Martin Blake achieves a similar balance using an altogether new and different method in which the frame itself sets the limits. The shape […]

How do you view the world through the camera lens or screen? How does digital media influence our interactions in real life? Is this real life or a computer simulation? In this showcase, our artists are welcomed to play with all forms of digital media. Come experience digital media IRL! “The digital revolution is far more significant than the invention of writing or even of printing.” – Douglas Engelbart “The digital camera is a great invention because it allows us to reminisce. Instantly.” – Demetri Martin
As part of Mutant Salon’s efforts to create a living archive of queer resistance and community in LA, Mutant Salon and Young Joon Kwak invite seniors in the LGBT community share stories of past struggle and resistance, and the current challenges faced by this community. 49 years after the Stonewall Riots, younger generations can’t imagine what it was like to live at a time when it was illegal to be open about one’s sexual orientation and gender identity. In order to understand our position in the current political and social climate and to imagine the possibilities for what queer resistance could look like in the future, it is important for us to hear and archive the stories of how older generations dealt with stigmas of illness, perversion, and policing of bodies. Hosted by Dirty Looks.

Neighborhoods play a role in most people’s lives, whether they want them to or not. Some see them as a resource, as home, and a local community in these global times, others regard them as a challenge or the source of many conflicts. These multilayered constructs are the focus of the artists and initiatives taking part in this exhibition, several of which have a direct impact on neighborhoods by creating frameworks for contact and interaction through their project work. Datscha Radio generates urban fields of activity, always in new places throughout the city, and traces the communality of networks. The artist collective nomadicArt collects and archives the stories of a neighborhood, producing a collective consciousness in the process. Camping Akademie e.V. practices community art with the various groups and generations in a neighborhood and Ira Hadžić & Kevin Ryan investigate how different realities of life collide in the smallest of spaces.

“So let them come, the gay incendiaries with charred fingers! Here they are! Here they are!… Come on! Set fire to the library shelves! Turn aside the canals to flood the museums!… Oh, the joy of seeing the glorious old canvases bobbing adrift on those waters, discolored and shredded!… Take up your pickaxes, your axes and hammers and wreck, wreck the venerable cities, pitilessly!”[1] The word Bridge describes an architectural functional structure that connects two places, and is commonly used as a metaphor. The command Burn your bridges is used as a strategic plan in situations of siege or persecution. Bridges symbolize physical and mental territories, changes and transitions between periods and interpersonal relationships. Often we advise our loved ones not to act impulsively and not to “burn bridges”. We are accustomed to thinking that the path to growth and progress must be based on creating continuity and bridging gaps. Sometimes, however, the only way to move on, to reinvent ourselves, to rise up like a phoenix from the painful memories – be it a harmful family, professional, social, or romantic relationships – is to sever the relationship irreversibly, to burn the bridges so that we can no longer go back, in order to prevent […]

KO Gyoung-il sucht mit künstlerischer Auseinandersetzung die Spuren der Vergangenheit des Vietnamkrieges und will den brutalen Einsatz des koreanischen Militärs sichtbar machen. Die Spannung zwischen atemberaubender Landschaft und brutalen historischen Ereignissen zeichnet die Arbeit aus. Vietnams Küstenlinie, die sich von Nord nach Süd zieht, hat eine Länge von 3444 km. Im Norden grenzt Vietnam an China. Diese nördliche Gegend in der die Hauptstadt Hanoi liegt zeichnet sich durch eine charaktervolle, rauhe, spitze und robuste Landschaft aus. Ein besonders beliebtes Reiseziel bei der jüngeren Generation aus Korea ist die mittlere Provinz Vietnams in der Nähe von der Stadt Đà Nẵng. Während dem Vietnam Krieg hatte dort die südkoreanische Marine genannt ‘Blue Dragon’ eine Militärstandort und das südkoreanisch Militär hat zahlreiche unschuldige vietnamesische Zivilisten umgebracht. Dieses tragische historische Ereignis ist heute nirgends sichtbar. Die südkoreanischen Touristen genießen die wunderschöne Landschaft und in Vergessenheit gerät die Tragik dieser Region. In der südlichen Provinz in der Nähe von Ho-Chi-Minh-Stadt verhält es sich ähnlich: Heute ist die Gegend ein beliebtes Ferienziel für Familien – damals während dem Vietnamkrieg wurden dort besonders viele Frauen und Kinder von brutalen koreanischen Militärtruppen ermordet. Diese Spuren des Krieges bleiben unsichtbar. (nach dem Dichter YU, Duck-Sun).

An exhibition of work and documentation of performance projects in Germany by American artist Lara Salmon, a SomoS resident for summer 2018. As part of her artistic practice here in Berlin, Salmon performs “Tower 13” a ritualised sleep-in at the Tempelhof airport for 30 days leading up to the opening date of her exhibition. She describes her intention of visiting the space every night and sleeping there as a poetic musing on the complicated history of the site itself. “As I lie in the night, a radar tower glowing ominously red looms above me. The Americans built it during their 50-year occupation of the airport. Below me is the 24-hour “Arrival Center for Asylum Seekers.” Beyond its entrance people wait to be sent to proper refuge shelters or to be denied asylum. Between the glare of the radar tower and the noises of trucks to the center, I drift in and out of sleep. ” — Lara Salmon, speaking about Tower 13 The artist will also exhibit a video project, produced in collaboration with Yaron Guerrero Santos, a fellow Los-Angeles artist and recent transplant to Germany, with whom she also performed at his recent solo exhibition at KdeWe in Stuttgart.

Anna Horne, Archie Barry, Holly Bates, Isabella Hone-Saunders, Lou Fourie, Zoë Bastin. Presence looks at the ways in which the presence of the body is signified and materially understood through discussions of autonomy, the digital body, queer embodied experience and fetishisation. Focusing on sculptural forms and non-literal depictions of body, the project engages artists from marginalised perspectives as central to inform its discussion. Presence challenges the heteronormative gaze’s relationship with body through asserting the power of a queer gaze and approach to artistic practice. Curated by Brigid Hansen + Zoë Bastin Opening Night | Thursday 23 Aug, 6pm–8pm Gallery Open | Tuesday-Saturday,12pm-6pm Closed on public holidays IMAGE | ARCHIE BARRY, You Perpetual Spring, 2017 – ongoing, double channel video, dimensions and duration variable | Courtesy of the artist.
What happens when we take animated icons from our childhood and remake them as our “adult” selves? In this show, our artists embrace their inner Andy Warhol and Keith Haring to revive, repurpose, and destroy their favorite cartoon characters. Come see some of your favorite cartoons reimagined! “Pop Art looks out into the world. It doesn’t look like a painting of something, it looks like the thing itself”. – Roy Lichtenstein “I’ve never trusted Mickey Mouse and I doubt I ever will.” – Probably not Roy Lichtenstein

The exhibition project ultimately revolves around the ongoing transformation from the epicenter of the political power play of the Bonn Wohlfühl-Republik to the UN Climate Conference and the lofty goal of becoming a kind of Rhenish Salzburg, in which Beethoven – the city’s pride – is deliberately used for marketing reasons. – Ambitious projects that manage both cultural and political heritage and perhaps counteract the tendency to fall into oblivion and be placed in the shadow of nearby metropolises or the new capital Berlin. For the material sponsoring, we would like to thank: > Mrs. Monika Stuckmann, Bonn […]

Liam Benson + Adorned, Jodie Haynes, Karen Casey, Teresa Hsieh, Mitch and Molly Mahoney, Justine Youssef. In a world seemingly felt through the digitalisation of relationships, and experienced through the overwhelming access to data, All of us is a timely reminder of the importance to connect; with people, with a vast range or perceptions, ideas and knowledge. The exhibition presents a contemporary framework by which to explore the importance of collaboration and the connections between artists, their practice, and the audiences they reach – providing an exploratory space to reflect on what it means to be a greater we. In this context, and in acknowledgement of the land that binds all of us, the exhibition celebrates the creative rewards of collective activity as a cultural strategy to encourage new connections, reveal those that might otherwise remain latent, and to address the global on a local level.

Artists of the exhibition speak with guests about their works. “Soil Action” from Tom Albrecht: The guests are to bring a handful of soil from a location of their choice. The outer earth layer of our planet is sealed by asphalt and concrete, damaged by soil erosion. Humus is washed away by industrial agriculture. Synthetic fertilizer is a drug for the soil.

Jan Murray Unseen continues Murray’s enduring exploration of the traditions of tromp l’oeil and investigation of the ‘anatomy’ of painting – specifically the relationship between the intrinsic and extrinsic architecture of the two dimensional canvas and the wall on which it is installed. Small paintings of air vent/grilles/chutes and similar architectural utilities are installed to masquerade as functional architectural elements throughout the Gallery and disappear into the white cube. These works are faithfully modelled on examples from various buildings throughout Melbourne including the Nicholas Building as well as those made in Berlin from a three-month residency at the Phasmid Studios in Marzahn (July-Sept 2017). This work alludes to the possibility of these functional elements not only enabling breath by means of ventilation or air circulation but sight and hearing as they function like ears – almost listening to the building. Perhaps too, they will operate metaphorically as eyes – allowing a glimpse into the past and the rich history embodied in the Nicholas Building – acting as conduits to hidden ‘realities’. Jan Murray completed her postgraduate qualifications at the VCA and RMIT University. Since 1981 she has shown regularly in both solo and group exhibitions in public museums, commercial galleries and artist […]
Talia Smith & Zainab Hikmet To long is to yearn for something or someone separated by distances in time and/or space. And they all say your name explores the subject of longing for a moment in time or place through light: an energy that is momentary and transient. Both artists utilise their time-based practices to create works that reflect their personal histories, connections and the ties that bind to the past, present and future. And they all say your name acts as a space for all of these oppositional structures to meet; the passing of time and memory, the spaces between, and the growing distance naturally created between people expressed through the temporal qualities of light. Talia Smith is an artist and curator from New Zealand but is now based in Sydney, Australia. Her photographic and video practice explores memory, time and ruin through the photographic medium and mans relationship to the landscape. She has exhibited widely throughout Australia, New Zealand, Germany and New York. Zainab Hikmet completed her Masters of Fine Arts at RMIT in 2015, following Undergraduate and Honours degrees from Auckland University of Technology. She has exhibited in various galleries throughout New Zealand and Australia and in 2015 was selected to complete […]

Contemporary Collaboration – international exhibition project – Pulchri Studio – The Hague Contemporary Collaboration is an international exhibition project in which the stimulation of alternative cooperation processes is central. The Contemporary Collaboration exhibition presents a group of artists who are all connected in different international networks and work intensively together in both their artistic processes and their professional professional practice. The concept for this exhibition is therefore aimed at stimulating new and synchronized forms of collaboration or ‘Contemporary Collaboration’. The objective of 10dence is the stimulation, introduction, organization and realization of alternative, inspiring and inventive processes to promote and support professional art practice. An incubator that cooperates intensively within various international networks with the aim of providing an independent platform for artists, for presenting and exhibiting their work at home and abroad. 10dence, in collaboration with artists’ initiatives such as Global Art Project (GAP), investigates how the creation and production of art can be cultivated by means of innovative network concepts and the development of alternative breeding grounds and residences that facilitate collaboration, experimentation and the multidisciplinary practice combines with strategic sustainability within individual professional practice. Under the title ‘Contemporary Collaboration’, initiator and visual artist Ron Weijers has compiled this […]

Mia Middleton Using coded depictions of depth perception, Being There presents works which unpack the interdependent states of presence and absence, surface and void, and examines their pertinence and application within contemporary place making. In particular, the works navigate synthetic and utopic environments by breaking apart and re-purposing the virtual and tangible veneers that typify them. Romanticised wilds meet with monolithic forms and dark cavities, exploring the primal states buried beneath utilitarian sites. The result is a conflation of the domestic and the fantastic, where multiple spatialities exist in tandem, and sights and sounds commingle with coverings and facades. Mia Middleton is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Sydney, Australia. Since completing a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) in photo-media at UNSW Art and Design in 2013, Mia’s work has been exhibited at galleries both nationally and abroad, including the Museum of Contemporary Art ARTBAR, CICA Museum Korea, Aici Acolo Romania and the Athens Digital Arts Festival. She has been the recipient of the Canson Photography Prize and completed a suite of performances for performance art festival Desire Lines. In 2018 Mia will be travelling and undertaking a professional art residency in Barcelona before presenting a solo exhibition at Blindside Gallery. IMAGE | Mia […]
Stephen Palmer Endless Projection explores the production of perceptual experience through the interposition of the eye and the photographic apparatus. The works consist of particular gestures undertaken with the camera, which accentuate the corporeal dimension of vision, and play upon the seductive process of identification at stake in the image. Video works with rhythmic and cyclic structures are generated through the employment of restricted movements and serial processes. In testing the limits of the photographic apparatus, the works seek to expose the aleatory and precarious condition of subjective experience. Stephen Palmer is an artist and writer based in Melbourne. He recently completed a PhD in Fine Art at the Victorian College of the Arts, which examined the nature of perception in the writings of Samuel Beckett. He has taught, predominantly in Art Theory, at Universities in Melbourne. Recent exhibitions include Vexed Appendix (George Paton Gallery), Hesitation (BUS Projects) and Faux Novel (RMIT Project Space). He was a facilitator of Light Projects ARI, Northcote.
