SEEN | UNSEEN
2009-02-02 20:20:00 SEEN UNSEENCurated by Peg CurtinParticipating Artists: Madeline Djerejian, Kate Drendel, Charles Harlan, Brad Robinson, Surveillance Camera Players, Futaba Suzuki, Edin Velez, and Hsuan Hsuan Wu.Where does a government?s responsibility to protect its citizens end and the citizens? right to privacy begin? Is the idea of surveillance in the mind of a populace a more powerful tool than the surveillance itself? Blurring lines between observer and observed, the eight talented emerging artists in Seen Unseen toe typically taboo lines by openly photographing strangers, directly challenging and mocking surveillance cameras, and willingly placing themselves in the role of the observed. Images are reflected, complicated, and obscured. Installations reconstruct and re-appropriate in miniature the surveillance of our homes and property, exposing our phobias, and anxiously re-contextualizing accepted security methods. Video works invert the supposed anonymity of large crowds and explore our cu...
Moralische Fantasien
2009-02-02 20:09:00 Moralische Fantasien07. Februar 2009 - 26. April 2009Das Museum Morsbroich eröffnet am 8. Februar 2009 die Ausstellung »Moralische Fantasien«. Im Zentrum stehen Positionen zeitgenössischer Kunst, die sich mit der Klimaerwärmung und ihren Auswirkungen auseinandersetzen. Über zwanzig Kunstschaffende zeigen im neobarocken Wasserschloss, das mit seiner Anlage und seinem idyllischen Garten den perfekten Rahmen für die Beschäftigung mit diesem Thema abgibt, ihre ganz persönlichen, distanziert dokumentierenden wie persönlich betroffenen oder gesellschaftspolitisch motivierten Gedanken und Recherchen zu diesem Thema.Schon seit der Antike ist bekannt, dass menschliche Eingriffe in die Natur von negativen Folgen begleitet sein können. Doch erst in den vergangenen Dekaden hat sich eine markante Sensibilisierung der Gesellschaft auf diesen Themenbereich hin und eine eigentliche ökologische Diskussion herausgebildet, die nicht selten in dramatischem Ton geführt wird und mittlerweile in alle Bere...
?Objects on Pedestals?
2009-02-02 19:28:00 Sprüth Magers London is delighted to present ?Objects on Pedestals?, a survey of sculpture works by acclaimed Swiss artists Peter Fischli and David Weiss. The exhibition includes a selection from the series ?Rubber Sculptures? (1986 ? 1988), which comprises a number of life-size black rubber casts of ordinary and commonplace objects, including a chest of drawers, a table, a candle and a cutlery tray. The exhibition also features a number of sculptures, all made in 2007 in unfired clay, which also depict normal and quotidian objects, such as a shoe or a jug, although on an exaggerated scale. Together, these two bodies of work reveal the artists? ongoing fascination with the banal and absurd qualities of the everyday, and the materiality and tactility of mass consumption.Infused with Fischli & Weiss?s characteristic wit and knowing irony, ?Rubber Sculptures? and the clay sculptures prompt intriguing questions about the form and function of the objects that facilitate modern living...
Die Kunst und das Absurde
2009-02-02 18:51:00 Die Kunst und das AbsurdeChristian Hasucha, BerlinDer Interventionist aus Neukölln am 29.1."Eine der ersten Erfahrungen mit dem scheinbar Absurden machte ich, nachdem ich eine tragbare Dunkelkammer auf einer Kölner Vorstadtbrache aufgebaut hatte. Aus der Dunkelkammer ragte ein flexibler "Zeichenstab", mit dem ich höchst konzentriert eine virtuelle Zeichnung in den Kölner Alltagsraum setzte. [?] Ein Passant schnauzte mich an, dass ich mir besser einen Bleistift kaufen und auf Papier zeichnen solle. Solch direkte Angriffe - wunderbare Reflektions- und Diskussionsanlässe - habe ich bisher einige Male erfahren können. Sobald allerdings der Begriff Kunst in meinen Projekten auftauchte, war jegliches befremdliches Agieren wundersamer Weise sanktioniert. Ich beschloss, eine neue Strategie anzuwenden..."Der deutsche Installationskünstler Christian Hasucha gelangte insbesondere durch seine Öffentlichen Interventionen zu Bekanntheit.Eine Kooperation der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, Fakultät Ge...

Sabine Aichhorn
2009-02-02 18:34:00 "Sabine Aichhorn (geb. 1979, lebt in Wien) arbeitet zwischen Objekt, Fotografie und Film. Dass wir zwischen Fiktionalem und Realem schwer zu unterscheiden im Stande sind, hat sowohl die Theorie als auch die bildende Kunst innerhalb der letzten Jahre drastisch zum Ausdruck gebracht. Film als Synonym für Fiktionales wird hier vor allem formal eingesetzt. Objekte aus Filmstreifen, die wiederum zu real lesbaren Konfigurationen werden, stehen im Zentrum von Sabine Aichhorns künstlerischer Praxis, die sich letztlich auf die Tradition des 'Expanded Cinema' zurückführen lässt."Sabine Aichhorn.

Art is the better life
2009-02-02 18:29:00 "Urs Lüthi (b. 1947 in Kriens), now based in Munich, is one of the most significant Swiss artists of the present day. The retrospective will provide the most extensive survey of his work so far. Alongside his little-known early work from the 1960s, his famous photographic self-portraits, painting cycles and most recent sculptures will be shown. Lüthi is a gifted draughtsman, printmaker, painter and sculptor, as well as a story-teller and stager of big stories and small emotions. This dialectic of form and content, which guides the viewer into an experience that is both aesthetic and intellectual, informs his whole oeuvre."Museum of Art Lucerne More About: Life , Better Life
