Hauser & Wirth nuovi spazi a New York



Hauser e Wirth inaugura in 511 west 18th street a New York dei nuovi stupendi spazi e per l'inaugurazione ha scelto le opere di Dieter Roth e Bjorn Roth. 



Comunicato stampa:

Sculptor, painter, printmaker, collagist, poet, diarist, graphic designer, publisher, filmmaker and musician, German-born Swiss artist Dieter Roth (1930 – 1998) has been described as ‘a performance artist in all the mediums he touched’. Everything Roth made involved acting out a central concept of art and life as utterly indivisible – a single enterprise in which material stuff is subservient to the emotional and sensual experience for which it stands. Roth was not an artist who tolerated boundaries. In seeking to pulverize them, he elevated the processes by which things happen, embracing accidents, mutations, and accretions of detail over time; inviting nature to have its way with unstable mediums, including fruit, chocolate, and sugar; and perhaps most boldly, inviting the dilution of his own authorship through constant, intensive collaboration with other artists. Those partners included such significant figures as Richard Hamilton, Emmett Williams, Arnulf Rainer, and Hermann Nitsch. But it was Roth’s long and symbiotic collaboration with his own son, artist Björn Roth, that stands as testament to the enormous and enduring potency of his restless, relentless process.
On 23 January 2013, Hauser & Wirth New York will open ‘Dieter Roth. Björn Roth’, a landmark exhibition of masterworks that highlights this remarkable twenty-year collaboration and, through it, the diversity of the practice that has established Dieter Roth as one of the most inventive and influential artists of the second half of the 20th century. ‘Dieter Roth. Björn Roth’ culminates Hauser & Wirth’s 20th anniversary and inaugurates the opening of the gallery’s new, second exhibition space in New York City, at 511 West 18th Street, between Tenth and Eleventh Avenues. Moreover, the exhibition sets the stage for major exhibitions to be presented at 18th Street in 2013 by three artists – Paul McCarthy, Roni Horn and Matthew Day Jackson – who claim Roth as their touchstone.
Organized with the cooperation of the Dieter Roth Foundation, Hamburg, Germany, ‘Dieter Roth. Björn Roth’ presents more than 100 objects created since the 1970s, including numerous works never before exhibited in the United States. Among these will be ‘The Floor I (Studio-floor from Mosfellsbaer, Iceland)’ from 1973 to 1992; a series of wall-mounted works form the 1980s comprised of such at-hand materials as toys, sweets, tools, refuse, and dead insects in plastic tubes; and key works from the ‘Tischtücher’ series of paintings made in the late 1980s and early 1990s from used tablecloths. Key examples of Dieter Roth’s poignant ‘Kleiderbilder’ paintings, made from the artist’s own clothes, also will be on view, as will the installation ‘Grosse Tischruine (Large Table Ruin)’, created by Dieter and Björn Roth with Eggert Einarsson between 1978 and 1998.

Prossimamente Frieze NY



A pochi mesi dalla seconda edizione Frieze New York presenta i progetti che si svolgeranno durante l'evento con cinque giovani artisti oltre all'interessante proposta di un ricordo al progetto di Gordon Matta-Clark e Carol Goodden del noto "ristorate" Food, era il 1971, che sarà rivisitato negli spazi della fiera. Ci sarà anche un intervento "letterario" con Ben Marcus. 


Ecco il comunicato stampa:

Frieze announced today the Frieze Projects program of specially commissioned works to be realized at Frieze New York, 2013. The fair is located in the unique setting of Randall’s Island Park, overlooking the East River.

The five artists participating in the Frieze Projects program this year are: Liz Glynn, Maria Loboda, Mateo Tannatt, Andra Ursuta, Marianne Vitale. The program will also feature a special tribute to legendary artist-run restaurantFood, originally conceived by Gordon Matta-Clark and Carol Godden in 1971, and an original text by novelist Ben Marcus. The Frieze Projects program is realized annually at Frieze New York and is curated by Cecilia Alemani.

The program includes seven specially commissioned projects, three of which are situated outdoors in Randall’s Island Park. The participating artists have been invited to conceive site-specific works that either react to the exceptional location of Randall’s Island or engage with the experience of the fair. Some projects confront the unique landscape of the site by inserting incongruous presences within the island’s landscape, including a color-coded garden, a speakeasy, and a cemetery. Others play with quotidian acts via folkloric traditions and formalist preoccupations. Together the seven projects envision new, temporary spaces for participation in everyday rituals.

Cecilia Alemani said of the program, ‘For the second edition of Frieze Projects in New York, I asked the commissioned artists to intervene in the fair and its surrounding landscape by staging challenging works that play with everyday habits and collective behaviors. Basic actions such as eating, drinking, speaking and praying serve as the starting point for a series of site-specific installations that engage the ritualistic dimension of the fair and the unique landscape of the island.’
Frieze Projects presents newly commissioned artworks by international artists. The artists commissioned by Frieze Projects will use Frieze New York as a site to realize ambitious ideas.
Frieze New York will take place May 10–13, 2013 and will present over 180 of the world’s leading galleries. Frieze New York is sponsored by Deutsche Bank.


2013 Projects
Liz Glynn (b. 1981, Boston. Lives in Los Angeles.)
In a series of large-scale sculptural installations often assembled with inexpensive materials such as wood and cardboard, Liz Glynn builds impromptu architectures and creates gathering spaces that incorporate fictional references to historical civilizations such as ancient Egypt and the Roman Empire. For Frieze Projects, the artist will use the grid of the fair to hide a secret bar inspired by 1920s prohibition-era speakeasies. Decorated like an old bank vault, the bar will be accessible through a secret door. Inside, bartenders will perform magic tricks while serving cocktails to guests.

Maria Loboda (b. 1979, Krakow. Lives in Berlin and London.)
Maria Loboda’s work analyzes systems of communications, underscoring the transformative power of languages and codes. Reflecting upon the relationship between nature and verbal communication, Loboda has realized a number of works in which nature is analyzed through the lens of language. Taking as inspiration the lush parkland of Randall’s Island, the artist will turn an area of the park’s green lawn into a color-coded garden, an exact replica of a color plate of a European interior design motif from the 19th century. Interested in the exacting precision of color mapping, the artist translates the two-dimensional image into a living landscape of plans, flowers and shrubs, highlighting the relationship between interior and exterior, between two and three-dimensional landscapes.

Mateo Tannatt (b. 1979, Los Angeles. Lives in Los Angeles.)
Mateo Tannatt uses sculpture as a platform for performance, video, photography and painting, creating landscapes of objects and props that are often brought to life by actors and performers. For Frieze Projects, Tannatt will craft seven individual sculptures that interrupt and punctuate the fair. Each of these seven situations will be activated by scripted performances and written texts. Viewers will be invited to sit and use the sculptures as part of the performance. Based on the subjective association of color and the effect and use of public sculpture, this project not only offers moments for viewers to rest but also provides temporary stages for public theater, bringing the monumental into the everyday.

Andra Ursuta (b. 1979, Salonta. Lives in New York.)
Andra Ursuta’s work merges references to the traditional folklore of her native Romania with an investigation of feminine identity through a series of sculptures, installations and immersive environments. For Frieze Projects, Ursuta departs from the idea that art fairs have become temporary sites of pilgrimage. As part of an imaginary art village, the artist will construct a missing part of the everyday life of an art fair: a quaint little cemetery where art goes to die. As art fairs do not allow room for the afterlife of art, Ursuta will erect a group of marble slabs in the bucolic landscape of Randall’s Island, turning the site into a place of worship.

Marianne Vitale (b.1973, East Rockaway. Lives in New York.)
Known for her large-scale wooden sculptures of burnt bridges, barns and outhouses, Marianne Vitale combines a reflection on contemporary American sculpture with an investigation of vernacular art and architecture. For Frieze Projects, the artist will reimagine a number of 19th-century weathervanes – the admirable, playful folk objects crafted by anonymous artists – by stripping them down, bulking them up and divesting them of their perceivable use value; their movement. These noncompliant forecasters will be on display indoors to disrupt the atmospheric conditions for fairgoers. 




Food 1971/2013

In 2013, Frieze Projects will organize a special tribute to Food, the legendary restaurant opened in October 1971 by Gordon Matta-Clark and Carol Goodden in collaboration with other artists. Sited outside the fair, this tribute will take the form of a temporary restaurant where the history and legacy of Food will be celebrated. A meeting space, a restaurant, a total work of art, Food was driven by the energy of the people that run it and that gathered there. In the same spirit, Food 1971/2013 at Frieze will be a dynamic platform where each day a different artist will be invited to cook in a convivial environment which will double as a restaurant and a performance stage, a space where food is made and art is discussed, inspired and produced. In 2012, with a homage to Fashion Moda and a presentation of John Ahearn’s work, Frieze Projects started a series of tributes to historical artist-run spaces and initiatives that have defined and transformed the cultural and artistic life of New York City. Food 1971/2013 is the second project in this series.



Ben Marcus (b. 1967, Chicago. Lives in New York.)

In 2012, Frieze Projects inaugurated Frieze Story – a new platform for writers and novelists who are invited to develop short stories that expand upon the unique location of the fair – with a short text by Rick Moody. For 2013 Frieze Story, novelist Ben Marcus has been invited to contribute with an original composition which will add another voice to the polyphony of Frieze Projects. Associate Professor at Columbia University, Marcus is the author of a number of novels and short stories, including The Flame Alphabet (2012), Notable American Women(2002), and The Age of Wire and String (1995).

Charming for the Revolution - Generi ed arte



Presso i Tanks della Tate Modern propone il 1 e il 2 Febbraio una due giorni di riflessioni sui generi sessuali con l'evento "Charming for the Revolution: A Congress for Gender Talents and Wildness" attraverso una seri di incontri, simposio e film.

Fra gli artisti vi partecipano Wu Tsang, Kelela, Ashland Miniere,  Carlos Motta con Xabier Arakistain , Giuseppe Campuzano, J. Jack Halberstam, Esben Esther Pirelli Benestad, Beatriz Preciado, Dean Spade, Terre Thaemlitz, Wu Tsang, Del LaGrace Vulcano e X Campbell, una nuova performance di Carlos Motta e Matthias Sperling,  Pauline Boudry / Renate Lorenz.


Ecco il programma 

Pauline Boudry/Renate Lorenz 
Friday 1 February, 19h 
The work of Berlin-based artist duo Pauline Boudry/Renate Lorenz reflects on the interplay of sexuality, sexual perversions and representation, continuously returning to unrepresented or illegible moments in history. This screening and artists’ conversation brings together three recent works by Boudry/Lorenz: a staging of punk archives from a period between 1970 and 2031 in No Future/No Past; a radical reimagining of the housewife set in Berlin Zoo in Charming for the Revolution; and a layering of labour, class, desire and drag in Normal Work. Here a host of characters are portrayed, living—indeed thriving—in defiance of convention, law and economy.

Gender Talents: A Special Address
Saturday 2 February, 10.30–16.30h
Gender Talents: A Special Address, convened and moderated by artist Carlos Motta, presents an international group of thinkers, activists and artists in a symposium that uses the manifesto as a structure. These ‘special addresses’ will explore models and strategies that transform the ways in which society perversely defines and regulates bodies. The event asks what is at stake when collapsing, inverting or abandoning the gender binary.

Participants: Xabier Arakistain, Giuseppe Campuzano, J. Jack Halberstam, Carlos Motta, Esben Esther Pirelli Benestad, Beatriz Preciado, Dean Spade, Terre Thaemlitz, Wu Tsang, Del LaGrace Volcano, and Campbell X.

Carlos Motta and Matthias Sperling: The Movers  
Saturday 2 February, 16.30h
Free
The Movers is a performance conceived in collaboration between Carlos Motta and choreographer Matthias Sperling. The work attends to movement as a means of exploring the connections between collective politics and a sense of the individual. Based on a choreographic score of performative tasks that engage thirteen performers in individual decision-making processes, The Movers abstractly asks how self-determination is both a deeply personal project and continuously negotiated in relation to others.

Performers: Ingo Andersson – Wotever World, Jason Barker, Dan Daw, Simon Foxall, Fred Gehrig, Nia Hughes, Jamila Johnson Small, Helka Kaski, Huai-Chih Liang, Vicky Malin, Malinda Mukuma, Carlos Maria Romero, and Mickel Smithen & Ebony Rose Dark.

The Movers is part of Gender Talents, a Creative Capital Project.

Wu Tsang: Wildness
Saturday 2 February, 20h
Wildness is a portrait of the Silver Platter, a historic bar on the eastside of Los Angeles that has catered to the Latin immigrant and queer community since 1963. With a touch of magical realism, the bar itself becomes a character in the film. Voiced by a transgender actress from Guatemala, it whispers the histories of the LGBT community for whom it has provided sanctuary and a ‘safe space’ for generations.

The film captures the creativity and conflict that ensue when a group of young, queer artists of colour (Wu Tsang, DJs NGUZUNGUZU and Total Freedom) organise a weekly performance party, also called Wildness, at the bar. This emergent underground interfaces with the immigrant transwomen who have long populated the venue and the Silver Platter becomes a charged forum for forging coalitions and exploring class, community and activism.

Kelela, Ashland Mines, and Wu Tsang: Breakdown 
Saturday 2 February, 21.30h
Free
Breakdown is a performance conceived for the Tanks by Kelela, Ashland Mines, and Wu Tsang. Part grand illusion and part humble direct action, this stage show is meant to explore the idea of honesty. Honesty not in the sense of being morally upright, but in the sense of being true to desires or needs. The artists use basic elements of voice, sound, and light to create continuity (storytelling) through a series of constructions/breakdowns, in which the song is simultaneously the derivative and the original. Breakdown is part of an ongoing series of parties/sound/experiences that began in Los Angeles.

A combined ticket for all events is available.
Tate Film is supported by Maja Hoffmann / LUMA Foundation. 
Electra is supported by Arts Council England.
Realised with the kind support of Creative Capital, IFA The Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen and the Norwegian Embassy.

Bologna, basse temperature....


Si è inaugurata ieri la nuova edizione di Artefiera, con i suoi 37 anni di storia, che sempre più perde smalto e dinamismo, confermando una certa fase di stagnazione del mercato nazionale e della capacità propulsiva del sistema artistico generale del nostro paese. 

Una proposta che in generale pare statica e che guarda più indietro che avanti. 

Meglio a Start Up la rassegna parallela che si svolge alla minimale stazione delle autolinee.

Sicuramente molto stimolante l'iniziativa Art City che offre quasi cinquanta eventi sparsi nella città.  


Segnaliamo poi il premio Furla a all'ex-Ospedale degli Innocenti con i cinque finalisti: 
- Tomaso De Luca (1988) selezionato da Ilaria Gianni e Alice Motard
- Chiara Fumai (1978) selezionata da Stefano Collicelli Cagol e Bart van der Heide
- Invernomuto / Simone Bertuzzi (1983) e Simone Trabucchi (1982) selezionati da Filipa Ramos e Elena Filipovic
- Davide Stucchi (1988) selezionato da Francesco Garutti e Yann Chateigné Tytelman

- Diego Tonus (1984) selezionato da Vincenzo Latronico e Fanny Gonella (foto immagine del progetto) 

Tra cui questa sera sarà reso noto il vincitore dell'edizione 2012/2013.
