WAKING UP FROM THE NIGHTMARE OF PARTICIPATION

WAKING UP FROM THE NIGHTMARE OF PARTICIPATION
NEW BOOK
"Waking Up from The Nightmare of Participation" co-edited by Markus Miessen and Nina Valerie Kolowratnik to be released in September 2011, published by Expodium, Utrecht. 
Wake Up from The Nightmare of Participation! This book presents a platform for the development of proactive engagement and aims to fuel an antagonistic debate amongst theorists and practitioners from various fields of knowledge, cultural backgrounds and political positions about the central thesis of Markus Miessen's recent publication "The Nightmare of Participation – Crossbench Praxis as a Mode of Criticality". This book does not look for approval or consensual deliberation, but seeks for an agile examination of a proposed post-consensual (spatial) practice, formulating the necessity to undo the innocence of participation while promoting a conflictual reading of participation as a mode of proactive first person singular engagement: a step towards a state of acting and an individual, propositional practice. None of the contributions were content-edited; no consensual or editorial constraints were imposed onto any of the contributors.
Contributors: Can Altay, Sabine Bitter, Arno Brandlhuber, Adam Budak, Federica Bueti, Angelique Campens, Carson Chan, Cybermohalla Ensemble, Eyal Danon, Jeff Derksen, Hu Fang, Luigi Fassi, Mark Fisher, Maria Fusco, Anna-Catharina Gebbers, Liam Gillick, Mika Hannula, Stefan Heidenreich, Michael Hirsch, Nikolaus Hirsch, Silvan Linden, Schorsch Kamerun, Nina Valerie Kolowratnik, Suhail Malik, Markus Miessen, Nina Möntmann, Julia Moritz, Michel Müller, Jan Nauta, Magnus Nilsson, Melanie O'Brian, Morten Paul, Dan Perjovschi, Andrea Phillips, Kristina Lee Podesva, Christian Posthofen, Patricia Reed, Dieter Roelstraete, Mark von Schlegell, Ashkan Sepahvand, Jeremy Till, Eva Tuerks, Jan Verwoert, Felix Vogel, Helmut Weber, Adnan Yildiz, Phillip Zach, Wolfgang Zinggl, Tirdad Zolghadr
Expothesis is an outcome of the collaboration of Expodium and MaHKU, the Utrecht Graduate School of Visual Art and Design. It investigates the significance of artistic knowledge production in regard to art and public space. Each year Expodium and MaHKU invite a prominent author to throw light on these issues. Waking Up from the Nightmare of Participation is the second publication in the series.

Curators involved in the exhibition series "Demanding Supplies" are Julia Moritz, Valérie Knoll, Hannes Loichinger, Magnus Schäfer, and Cornelia Kastelan.

Following a long critical tradition, the art market has been understood as art's contaminating "other". More recently, there have been increasing attempts to subject the dichotomy between art and economy to a more differentiated analysis: the art market appears as a highly ritualized, segmented system marked by complex social processes. Whereas it resembles other markets in some respects, its unique characteristics include intransparency, as well as distinctive value regimes and hidden symbolic commodification processes in the interplay of a variety of actants. There is a widespread awareness of these conditions in the artistic field, and many artists are still critically investigating the intricacies of that very market—without falling into euphoria or phobia. In the thicket of an accelerated art market that is perceived as diffuse, explicit positioning seems essential for reflecting on one's own involvement.

In 2011, the Kunstraum of Leuphana University of Lüneburg, Germany, has devoted three exhibition projects entitled "Demanding Supplies – Nachfragende Angebote" to this exploration of art and its markets. In the first phase, "Enabling Space," nOffice (Markus Miessen, Ralf Pflugfelder, Magnus Nilsson) developed a new spatial structure and thereby questioned how the conditions of art's presentation predetermine its ambivalent relationship to its market.

The second phase, "Trans-Actions," developed in collaboration with Halle für Kunst Lüneburg and Magnus Schäfer, was a double exhibition focusing on a phenomenon of the most recent history of art. Taking the example of the New York gallery "American Fine Arts, Co."—founded by Colin de Land (1955–2003)—the exhibition looked at the merging of commercial and artistic practices generally considered at odds with each other. Exhibition participants included Art Club 2000, Patterson Beckwith, J. St. Bernard, Stephan Dillemuth, John Dogg, Loretta Fahrenholz, Karl Holmqvist, Jackie McAllister, James Meyer, andPhillip Zach. Besides these reflexions on the mechanisms of art markets, artist Carissa Rodriguezhighlighted the problem of professional positioning in the art world in her installation "Secrétaires". The works of three of these artists are kept for the current exhibition.

The third phase, "Besides Reproduction," will now present four artistic positions that shift attention to the art market under varying premises: Maria Eichhorn and Daniel Buren are joined by Diego Castro and Katja Staats, the two 2011 winners of the Daniel Frese Prize for Contemporary Art, which was awarded for the first time this year.

Mario Pfeifer / Einzelausstellung
November 6 to December 4, 2011

Opening: Saturday, November 5, 2011, 5 to 8 pm

The NKV Kunstverein Wiesbaden is pleased to present the first institutional EINZELAUSSTELLUNG ('solo exhibition') by Mario Pfeifer (*1981). Film and video installations from the years 2008 to 2010 provide a concentrated overview of his artistic development since graduating from the Städelschule Frankfurt/Main in 2008. A continuum in Mario Pfeifer's work are clear formal and thematic references to other artists and works, mostly from the 60's and 70's, as well as to fathom a thoroughly composed formal aesthetic, which he expands onto the exhibition architecture. His recent and most extensive work, A FORMAL FILM IN NINE EPISODES, PROLOGUE & EPILOGUE (2010), confronts three of his former produced film and video installations. Three photographic works, each referencing one of the installations and reflecting their research strategies and production conditions, accompany the films. Pfeifer's earliest work YET UNTITLED ['PIECES OF NATURE'] (2008) which was his final art school project, can be interpreted as a performance or film production, following actors to an alleged casting. Also the crew and the producer act in front of the camera and finally literally mirroring Jeff Wall's photograph PICTURE FOR WOMEN (1979), a staged production of staged photography.

RECONSIDERING "THE NEW INDUSTRIAL PARK NEAR IRVINE, CALIFORNIA" BY LEWIS BALTZ, 1974 (2009), a two-piece b/w 16mm-projection, addresses an industrial architecture, which the American artist already portrayed in his art book of the same name. The first projection leads the viewer into an 11-minute unedited camera trip through the interior of a metal workshop. An interview with the former tenant describes the historical industrial context. The second projection shows in parallel the reverse browsing of Baltz' art book whereby each book page merges into a montage with the ongoing camera trip. Only at the end, when the camera trip ends in front of the building, Pfeifer lets the montage fall apart into two incompatible frames and a comment on the interrelation between film and photography

In the film UNTITLED ['TWO GUYS'] (2009) Mario Pfeifer follows two young men with the camera through Berlin-Kreuzberg and becomes the cinematic observer of their body language and mimic, which finally culminates in an aesthetic-rhythmic Krumping, which seems to blow up the space. Krumping is an expressive street-dance, which first evolved amongst young Americans to release aggression and to escape gang-life. In his film Pfeifer several times comes precariously close to them, breaking through their physical shelter.

On the second floor the three-part projection A FORMAL FILM IN NINE EPISODES, PROLOGUE & EPILOGUE finally unfolds with powerful, strong pictures. The nine episodes portray landscape, architecture, interiors and people in Mumbai and suburbia, each site radiating a mysterious beauty. Eventually the film leaves its documentary perspective and changes into a narrative, as Mario Pfeifer focuses on two protagonists and their story. Beyond its aesthetic power the film critically explores the development of Mumbai and its cultural phenomena. Like Louis Malle with his masterpiece L'INDE FANTÔME (1969), Pfeifer also takes up the position of an outsider, looking at a strange culture, however
unable to withstand its fascination. With the formal title EINZELAUSSTELLUNG Mario Pfeifer refers to what is actually visible in the exhibition and analyses the existence of singularity, the subject in the discourse.

Mario Pfeifer was born 1981 in Dresden, Germany.
He studied at the University of Arts, Berlin and at the Academy of Visual Arts in Leipzig, before he changed in 2007 to the class for interdisciplinary art with Professor Willem de Rooij at the Städelschule, Frankfurt/Main. Here Mario Pfeifer graduated 2008 with the film "Yet Untitled [Pieces OF Nature]". A USA scholarship of the Fulbright Commission followed with further training at the California Institutes of the Arts. In 2009 and 2010 Mario Pfeifer was supported by the Goethe Institute, for which he, amongst others, curated a film program. He also received production grants by the Transvideo Studios, USA and the Werkleitz Society. After a four-month residency in Mumbai, India, he took part in a scholarship program of the DAAD in New York in 2010/11. Mario Pfeifer received the Video Art Award of the Film Office Bremen in 2010 and the Salon Video Art Prize in 2011 in London. His last work abroad led him 2011 to Dar Al-Ma'mûn, Morocco.

Mario Pfeifer's films were presented at international film festivals, inter alia in Bilbao, Bangkok, New York, Detroit, London, Toronto, Basel and Berlin. He also presented his work at numerous exhibitions, amongst others in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, in KW Institute for Contemporary Art Berlin, Museum Weserburg Bremen as well as at the Kunstverein Frankfurt and the Zollamt MMK Frankfurt/Main.

Mario Pfeifer lives and works in Berlin, He is represented by the gallery KOW Berlin where his first gallery solo exhibition took place in 2011.

Concert by Ralph White



You are cordially invited to Elaine's concert

on October 26, 2011, 20:00

Ralph White (USA) – Voice, Violin, Banjo, Kalimba

I compose music, improvise music, and steal music, Mr. White explains, but I really think that the more the lines between these categories are blurred, the more interesting it becomes. So I guess I'm a blurrer.

White was a member of well-loved punk bluegrass outfit Bad Livers, but his solo work is possessed of a much more lonesome spark, exaggerating the implied drone at the heart of the music of Dock Boggs and The Stanley Brothers…White plays wooden six-string banjo, violin, button accordion and kalimba and his voice has a high, eerie quality to it…extremely psychedelic (David Keenan, The Wire UK)

The Anti-Social Majority—Lars Laumann invites Kjersti Andvig, Vela Arbutina, Benjamin A. Huseby, Jeanette Main, Stewart Uoo, Dan-Ola Persson and Rein Vollenga.

29th October–23rd December 2011
Please join us for the opening on Friday 28th October at 7pm
with the performance of a new work by Laumann, Main, Persson & Uoo at 8pm
After party at Jaeger, Oslo in association with Natt og Dag

Trelastgata 3 0191 Oslo

www.kunsthalloslo.no

Kunsthall Oslo is pleased to present the collaborative exhibition The Anti-Social Majority. Lars Laumann has invited seven friends and fellow artists from Europe and the US to show some of the film works, sculpture and installations they have worked on together over recent years. A new work by Laumann, Main, Uoo and Persson—combining extraordinary images gathered by Laumann from certain Central European churches with guitar and theremin music—will be performed for the first time on the exhibition's opening night. An edited version of this work will then form a central part of the exhibition.

The collaborations on view will include The Sami People's Flag in Neon by Andvig and Laumann; the film You Can't Pretend To Be Somebody Else—You Already Are by Huseby and Laumann, which reimagines the final days of the singer, model and sometime Warhol superstar Nico; Duet by Laumann and Persson, in which Margaret Thatcher and Donald Rumsfeld are autotuned to sing some of their best-known lines; and Love Parade, a sculpture and video installation by Laumann and Vollenga.

The title of the exhibition was suggested by Henrik Ibsen's play An Enemy of the People (1882), and underlines Laumann's politicised approach to the aesthetics and ethics of art and documentary film. The exhibition's emphasis on collaboration connects directly to Laumann's interest in finding alternative ways of working and modes of representation that avoid reinforcing the dominant ideologies of contemporary culture, that aim instead towards the imagination of a world that is at once stranger, and more humane.

The show will also include a video programme with further collaborative and individual works, and a collection of publications and recordings by the invited artists presented in cooperation with Torpedo Bookshop.

Kjersti Andvig (Norway) graduated from the National Academy of Art in Oslo in 2003. As an artist, her work often takes the form of long-term commitments to situations that demand complete personal dedication. She has had solo exhibitions at Rekord, Oslo, Triangle, Marseille, and Akershus Kunstsenter, Lillestrøm, and her work has been seen in group exhibitions including Lights On at the Astrup Fearnley Museum, Oslo, the Carnegie Art Award exhibition, Charlottenborg, Copenhagen, and the Lofoten International Art Festival 2011.

Vela Arbutina (Switzerland) is a graphic designer, trained at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie, Amsterdam and Central St. Martins College of Art and Design, London. She is co-editor and art director of the semiannual magazine Girls Like Us and works as an independent designer in Amsterdam.

Benjamin Alexander Huseby (Norway) studied at Chelsea College of Art, London and the National Academy of Art, Oslo. He works primarily with photography and installation, often juxtaposing his interests in esoteric science, natural history and the counter-culture. His artwork has been exhibited at KunstWerke, Berlin, Fotogalleriet, Oslo and Momentum, the Nordic Art Biennial among many other places. His fashion and editorial photography has been featured in magazines including i-D, Another Magazine, Vogue, Dazed & Confused, Butt, Art Review and Harper's Bazaar.

Lars Laumann (Norway) studied at the Norwegian National Academy of Art in Oslo. Laumann's work ranges from experimental video collages and installations to long-form documentary films; what marks out his practice as a whole is a radical acceptance of the validity of voices and lifestyles marginalised by mainstream society. Laumann took part in the 5th Berlin Biennial in 2008 and the Liverpool Biennial in 2010, and won the Statoil Art Prize in 2009. His work has been shown at the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Whitechapel Gallery, London; Kunsthalle Basel; Galerie West, Den Haag; Maureen Paley, London; Foxy Productions, New York and the Astrup Fearnley Museum, Oslo among many other venues.

James Jeanette Main (UK) is a Scottish performance artist, stylist, actor and DJ based in London. A long time collaborator of Benjamin A. Huseby, he has appeared in photo shoots for i-D, Vogue and V. Main also runs the club night 'Jeanette's Jungle Fever' at Vogue Fabrics, London.

Dan-Ola Persson (Sweden) is a musician currently based in Oslo. He is guitarist and singer in the Swedish death metal band Cardinal Sin and has also performed with Entity and The Ancient's Rebirth. His latest record, with music composed for Lars Laumann's films, was released by Torpedo Press in 2010.

Stewart Uoo (USA) is an artist based in New York. He studied at the California College of the Arts in San Francisco and at the Städelschule, Frankfurt. His work has been exhibited in shows at  White Columns, NY; 179 Canal, NY; Papo's VIP, ArteBA, Buenos Aires. He has an upcoming solo exhibition at 47 Canal, NY.

Rein Vollenga (The Netherlands) studied in Den Bosch and now lives in Berlin. He creates sensuous, suggestive objects that can be worn as sculptural adornments; these 'wearable sculptures' have been commissioned by Paris fashion label Mugler and by performers including Lady Gaga. Vollenga has upcoming solo exhibitions of his work at Suvi Lehtinen, Berlin and Candy, Tokyo.

Erinnerung und Fiktion

Petra Johanna Barfs – Collagen
Ulu Braun – Collagen
Maria Bubenik – Malerei
Gunter Deller – Fotografie
Esther Gebara – Malerei
Maritta Kaltenborn – Skulpturen
Katja Kämmerer – Life-Collage

Die Gruppenschau versammelt Positionen Frankfurter Gegenwartskunst, die sich mit dem Thema Erinnerung beschäftigen – und wo die Erinnerung ausbleibt, mit Fiktion. Die Collagen von Petra Johanna Barfs kreisen um das Bild des Mädchens in der NS-Zeit, eröffnen irreale Welten und changieren zwischen heimlich und unheimlich. Die intensiven Ölbilder von Maria Bubenik spielen mit der Möglichkeit der Auflösung ihrer Figuren durch die Mittel der Malerei und fassen eine Reihe Jugendlicher ins Bild. Esther Gebara transformiert gefundene historische Fotografien in magisch anmutende Portraits in einer Farbigkeit, die der Erinnerung entsprechen kann. Ulu Braun zeigt Collagen, in denen surreal anmutende Landschaften mit facettenreichem Personal Realität und Fiktion auf künstlerisch-poetische Weise vermischen. Gunter Deller ist der Flaneur unter den Frankfurter Fotografen und zeigt einen bewegenden Ort der Erinnerung vom Rande der griechischen Hauptstadt. Die Bildhauerin Maritta Kaltenborn changiert in ihren Arbeiten zwischen Figur und Abstraktion und zeigt Kleinplastiken sowie ihren Baseler Totentanz. Die Vernissage-Performance von Katja Kämmerer steht jetzt als Video zur Verfügung..

Ulu Braun, Westcoast, 7:20 Minuten, 2009
Ulu Braun, Atlantic Garden, 6:27, 2010

In der Ausstellung ?Erinnerung & Fiktion" im KunstBlock sind seine stillen Collagen zu sehen, drei Filme geben Einblick in das vielseitige Werk des Berliner Künstlers und Filmemachers. Ulu Braun erfindet utopische Räume, ja ganze Bildwelten und collagiert Gegensätzliches zu faszinierenden Settings. Verwesung und Frische, Konzentration und Zerstreuung, Behaglichkeit und Unwohlsein gehen in seinen Arbeiten eine untrennbare Einheit ein.

Samstag, 19.11.11 um 18.30 Uhr:
Dieter Mammel / Claudio Malasomma, Under Deep Water, 20:00, 2010

Die Schwerelosigkeit des Körpers im Wasser feiern die Unterwasserbilder von Dieter Mammel, die schon im KunstBlock gezeigt wurden. Sie finden eine filmische Fortsetzung im Kunstfilm, den der Maler mit Regisseur Claudio Malasomma und dem Komponisten Gökhan Kirdar realisiert hat. Under Deep Water zeigt anhand der Reise eines Jungen, wie sich Orient und Okzident treffen – im Wasser.

Sonntag, 20.11.11 um 16 Uhr:
Thomas Draschan, Metropolen des Leichtsinns, 12:00, 2002,
Jan Schmidt, IC 2051, 35:00, 2004-2005

Thomas Draschan hat mit seinen collagierten Filmen, zumeist aus gefundenem Material, originelle, frappierende und preisgekrönte Filme gefertigt. Einer seiner schönsten Filme läuft als Vorfilm. Im Jahr 2004-2005 hat Jan Schmidt diesen Film, der in einem IC zwischen Darmstadt und Frankfurt entstanden ist, als Ode an die tagtägliche Geschäftsreise komponiert. Im fahrenden Zug vollzieht der unbekannte Protagonist die Endlosbewegung des Mediums Video nach.

Sonntag, 20.11.11 um 18.30 Uhr:
(...)
Gunter Deller, Riverrun & Touchdown, 8:00, 2009
Gunter Deller, Magic Bus, 54:00, 1983

Als Vorfilm gibt es mit (...) die ironische wie kunstvolle Collage von (...), die Konsum und Markenfetischismus ad absurdum führt. Darauf folgen zwei Filme von Gunter Deller, von dem gerade eine Installation in der Ausstellung ?Erinnerung & Fiktion" im KunstBlock zu sehen ist. Riverrun & Touchdown zeigt den Anflug auf die Twin Towers, unterlegt mit Wagners Walkürenklängen. Apocalypse Now meets 9/11 – eine Collage aus gefundenen 16mm-Reisefilmen und gestohlenem Filmton. Magic Bus ist ein Aufbruch in die Landschaften des fränkischen Untermains, ein Donnerschlag und ein visueller Trip. Sein ästhetischer Kunstfilm ist psychedelischer Roadmovie und zugleich persönliche Referenz an die Hippie-Ära und begeistert noch Jahrzehnte nach dieser Epoche.

Projektionen und Performances: Helden der Wand



Helden der Wand

Projektionen und Performances von Absolventen der Städelschule, Hochschule für Bildende Künste Frankfurt am Main und von Helden.

Performanceabend:
Freitag, 28.Oktober 2011, 19 Uhr
Ausstellungsdauer:
29.Oktober - 27.November 2011
Öffnungszeiten:
Freitags und samstags ab 19 Uhr und nach Vereinbarung
Ort:
Kinosaal des Eschborn K, Jahnstraße 3, 65760 Eschborn
06196-48800

Der Performanceabend „Helden der Wand“ und die daraus resultierende Ausstellung spinnen ein Verhältnis zwischen filmdokumentarischen projizierten und situationsspezifischen leibhaftigen Gesten. Vier filmdokumentierte Performances werden im Kinosaal parallel projiziert und bieten eine Plattform für geladene Akteure performativ zu agieren und Kontexte zu verweben.

Vier KünstlerInnen, aus Amsterdam, Turin, Frankfurt und Kopenhagen stellen ihre Filmdokumente vor:

Barbara Philipps Arbeit „The Pigeonry“ legt einen Akzent auf den Geschmacks- und Geruchssinn. Durch die Verstärkung dieser Sinne ist es ihr möglich, kontextuell neue Assoziationsbilder zu erzeugen. In „The Pigeonry“ verwebt Philipp die Assoziationsbilder Taubenschlag und Restaurantsituation.

Paola Anzichés Arbeit „Aggrovigliamenti“ bezieht die besondere Raumarchitektur ein und füllt diesen mit Menschen und einem großflächigen elastischen Netz. Die Menge der beteiligten Personen lebt eine von dem Material bestimmte Choreografie vor, die den Raum erweitert.

In Martin Scherfenbergs Arbeit "Vorführung" werden Affen im Zoo gefilmt und zeitgleich wird ihnen das aufgenommene Bild auf einem Monitor präsentiert. Wir als Betrachter schauen den Affen bei der Selbstbetrachtung in zeitlicher Verschiebung zu. Wir werden zum Beobachter von Reaktionen auf das Erkennen des eigenen Abbildes.

Rasmus Soendegaard Johannsen zeigt einen Film der laufenden Serie „Aktion“, in der einfache Maschinen eine Aktion ausführen. Die Aktionen werden vom Kurbelgriff der Kamera ausgelöst und lassen die Konstruktionen radikal verändern. Die Holzkonstruktionen sind aus dem gleichen Holz gebaut, wie diejenigen, die man auch auf dem Bildschirm wahrnehmen kann.

Die Akteure des abends vertreten die folgenden Kontexte:
Bildende Künste, Installation: Carmina Conradt.
Choreografie, Tanz: Yasna Schindler.
Kunstgeschichte, Rhetorik: Anne Sulzbach.
Es kommentiert: Alfred Hitchcock.
Regie: Claudia Gaida.

Emergente Situationen und Atmosphären, die im Prozess der Performances selbst entstanden sind, wurden in die Form einer Filmdokumentation transkribiert. Am Performanceabend „Helden der Wand“ werden Akteure eingeladen, die transkribierten Performances mit dem Raum des Eschborn K und der Situation des Abends zu verweben. Zwischen Reagieren und Agieren entstehen performative Gesten, die assoziativ auch die dokumentierten Momente mit subjektiven Ideen und dem persönlichen Kontext kombinieren und neue gestische Möglichkeitsräume generieren können.

Green Room, "Welcome to Paradise”, Tuesday, 25th October, 7pm

Opening: Tuesday, 25th October, 7pm
Weltkulturen Labor, Schaumainkai 37

In the exhibition "Welcome to Paradise", Shane Munro presents a collection of artworks produced in Frankfurt for trade with US military personnel in Iraq and Afghanistan. Made from egg-cups, expanding foam, and other materials Munro's new artworks form part one of this two-part exhibition and are based on variations of a 'Koan'. The Koan, which is central to the history and lore of Zen Buddhism, consists of a story, dialogue, question or statement the meaning of which cannot be understood through rational thought but may be accessible through intuition.

Shane Munro (*1978, Belgrade) lives and works in Frankfurt am Main. From 2007-2010 he studied with Prof. Tobias Rehberger at Staatliche Hochschule für Bildende Künste, Staedelschule, Frankfurt and received the Absolventenpreis of the Staedelschule in 2010. His artworks have been shown in numerous exhibitions, including 'Terminal Convention', Cork, Ireland; 'Duck! Skylark! Duck!', Kornhaeuschen, Aschaffenburg ; 'Payloads', Landings, Oslo (2010; 'Architectooralooral', 1857, Oslo;  "Heinzenberger, Leu, 'Munro and Værslev on Guyton', Parisa Kind, Frankfurt (2009). 

The concept of the 'Green Room'  was developed by Shane Munro in March 2011. The Green Room takes its cue from special effects studios and defines the place where performers spend their final minutes before they go on stage. Exhibitions in the Green Room respond to the collection of the Museum.

Exhibition runs from 27th October – Mid-December
Opening hours: Thursday to Sunday, 12-6pm and by appointment

Sun 10/23 at JAUS Closing Reception: Zeitenwende / Saluting The End

Please join us at JAUS Sunday October 23, 2011 for the closing reception of Zeitenwende / Saluting The End curated by Sandra Mann.

Zeitenwende / Saluting The End

Featuring: Lewis Baltz, Thomas Draschan, Bea Emsbach, Christine de la Garenne, Nathalie Grenzhaeuser, Florian Heinke, Sandra Mann, Anny & Sibel Öztürk, Manfred Peckl, Marcus Sendlinger, Johannes Spehr, Karsten Thormaehlen, Eva Weingärtner, Michael Wutz 

Curated by Sandra Mann 

JAUS is very pleased to present the group show Zeitenwende / Saluting the End featuring over a dozen artists living and working mainly in Germany. 

The title of the exhibition is a symbolic description of the advent of a global-social catastrophe that occupies the minds of the artists featured in this exhibition. The real or perceived threat of world demise and the advent of a new era – in short: the apocalypse. 

Although the interpretation of the apocalypse was originally biblical – the Revelation and Forthcoming Day of Judgement – it has become more widespread and secular over the course of history, both in spoken usage and in its general perception. 

The artists in this exhibition all address modern-day apocalyptic themes, such as political and social neglect, terrorism, self destruction, self-aggrandizement, brutality, hedonism, revolts, financial crashes, surveillance, drug addiction, mass media consumption, natural catastrophes and environmental pollution. Their interpretations of society and their subjects are transformed into metaphors and visual motifs of a modern-day apocalypse. 

The artists collectively draft a multifaceted picture of the state of our world. The works are diverse in terms of content and format (paintings, photos, videos, sculptures) and also raise the intriguing question of why humanity is drawn to destruction, and is endlessly fascinated by pending disaster.

DEAD OR ALIVE / First Issue / Self-Publishing Book Fair

First Issue

Self-Publishing Book Fair
for Design and Art
14.–15. October 2011


DEAD OR ALIVE?

No other branch predicts its own demise as often as the book industry. Yet despite the apodictic "book-is-dead" lament of many experts, countless new books are again being published this year. Now, parallel to the Frankfurt Book Fair, a new event is being launched. Self-publishing in design and art is the topic of this fair, organized under the general heading "Print Culture – Dead or Alive?!". As the title implies, the event is going to be the first edition, followed by a Second and a Third Issue and many more in the future. This is a new start and a new idea, demonstrating that print is not at all dead, but rather in the process of reinventing itself right now. Producers – such as designers, authors or artists – finance, publish and distribute their own books, catalogues, magazines and collectibles themselves. Digital print and Internet make this possible. Books are part of their artistic production – are a personal form of expression.

WHAT IS FOR FREE?

The book fair, presentations by Plakatwerkstatt and Copy Shop, exhibitions "First Issue" and "fourfiveX Editions 001" and the live concert by Andorra are free of charge.

WHERE IS A TICKET REQUIRED?

Admission to the conference requires an entrance fee.
On-Day-Ticket: 10 EUR. Two-Day-Ticket: 17 EUR.
The number of places is limited to 60.
Tickets available 
here.
