Ricardo Jacinto: Labyrinthitis / Manifesta 7, RoveretoRicardo Jacinto: Labyrinthitis / Manifesta 7, Rovereto
from VernissageTV art tv
September 05, 2008

Some fun for the weekend: Installed in the courtyard of the Manifattura Tabacchi in Rovereto, Italy (one of the locations of Manifesta 7, The European Biennial of Contemporary Art), is a sculpture by Ricardo Jacinto, made of six gigantic black balloons, filled with helium. As the video shows, not only children have fun with the device that is diminishing one s weight by about 35kg and lifts up peoples bodies and spirits. The installation is called Labyrinthitis . Ricardo Jacinto was born 1975 in Lisbon, Portugal. As an architect, sculptor and musician, Ricardo Jacinto constructs installations that look at mechanisms of perception and systems of communication . According to the accompanying text, Labyrinthitis is an example of synergy between spatial and audible aspects, a correlation of sensation and corporeal volume. It is based upon altering perception by upsetting our system of balance. The title refers to the medical term of labyrinthitis, an inflammatory process affecting the labyrinths that house the vestibular system in the inner ear. Labyrinthitis exemplifies complexities of the relationship of the body with space. Ricardo Jacinto: Labyrinthitis (2007, mixed media installation) at Manifattura Tabacci, Rovereto / Italy. Manifesta 7, The European Biennial of Contemporary Art. Principle Hope. Curated by Adam Budak. July 26, 2008.

September 04, 2008

On the second day of the St. Moritz Art Masters (the event runs until 7th September 2008) we went up a mountain with a group of journalists, art dealers, pr people and museum directors (Sam Keller was a bit late) to attend Christina Oiticica s performance Burying of Art . Don t worry: She didn t bury art as such – but some of her own works, and she will exhume them next year. Cristina Oiticica (born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1951) buries her art to be transformed by nature. My work is affected, inevitably, by having been in close contact with nature for a year and a half, living the four seasons intensely. They ended up influencing my work. Normally things don’t occur on a conscious level, only on an unconscious one The intention in my work is to go beyond the four walls protecting it, to use space and go beyond. Go beyond the four walls and be affected by the conditions of time, by circumstances, as Ortega y Gasset puts it. Christina Oiticica: Burying of Art (Performance). El Paradiso, St. Moritz, August 30, 2008. For more information about the St. Moritz Art Masters click this link.

Currently, the Kunsthalle Winterthur presents Weichensteller (Switchman) an exhibition with works by Aleksander Komarov. Aleksander Komarov presents the video installation On Translation: Transparency / Architecture , which was first shown at the Istanbul Biennial in 2007. The other two works on display are See you in Disneyland (2006), and his latest work Estate . In this interview, Alexander Komarov talks about his work and specifically about On Translation and Estate . While the topic of On Translation is political power and the way it s communicated (with images of the Bundestag in Berlin, the Van Nelle Factory in Rotterdam, and the Atatürk Cultural Centre (AKM) in Istanbul), Estate deals with different kinds of resources: real estate in the cities of Frankfurt and Ekaterinburg, and abstract values of the stock exchange and of art collections (in this case the German Stock Exchange and the Deutsche Bank Art Collection). Aleksander Komarov was born in 1971 in Grodno, Belarus. He lives and works in Rotterdam and Berlin.

Michael Snow: So Is This / Manifesta 7, Fortezza / FranzensfesteMichael Snow: So Is This / Manifesta 7, Fortezza / Franzensfeste
from VernissageTV art tv
August 29, 2008

One of the videos shown at the fortress in Fortezza / Franzensfeste as part of the exhibition Scenarios , is Michael Snow s 1982 film So Is This . Michael Snow (born 1929) is a Canadian artist who works in various media such as painting, sculpture, photography and film. The film So Is This (16mm, b w, silent, 45 minutes) is a text in which each shot is a single word. This episode shows a short excerpt from the film. Snow takes full advantage of his film s system of discourse to twit restless audiences A lot of this is pretty funny but SO IS THIS is more than a series of gags. Snow manages to defamiliarize both film and language, creating a kind of moving concrete poetry while throwing a monkey wrench into a theoretical debate (is film a language?) that has been going on sporadically for 60 years If you let it, Snow s film stretches your definition of what film is - that s cinema and SO IS THIS. - J. Hoberman, The Village Voice. A silent film of 45 minutes consisting of single words of this script or score placed on the screen one by one, one after another, for specific lengths of time Several different strategies were employed on timing words/passages of the film. Image quality changes too, and the situation of an audience reading a film is a special one, not to be duplicated by reading this. - Michael Snow.

With the installation the chicken-and-egg-no-problem wall-painting at Museum Ludwig in Cologne, Germany, German artist Tobias Rehberger presents some 40 works from 15 years of creative production. Spread along 70 meters the visitors to the exhibition encounters Tobias Rehberger s paper flowers, his vase portraits , lamps made of Velcro tape, objects made of Perspex, videolibraries , chairs reminiscent of designer classics, limbs mounted on plinths. Lit by spotlights, the works all cast their shadows onto the white wall facing them, merging with the paintings on the wall and forming a mural made of light, shadows and color. What was there first: the chicken or the egg? Tobias Rehberger’s wall painting cannot be imagined without his sculptures, just as the egg is impossible without the chicken. But: is a three-dimensional work conceivable without a two-dimensional sketch? Is a chicken possible without an egg? What came first? Rehberger’s sculptural work and its shadow image confront one another like the chicken and the egg. (from the PR). Tobias Rehberger was born 1966 in Esslingen, Germany. He studied from 1987 to 1992 under Thomas Bayrle and Martin Kippenberger at the Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main, where he currently teaches. The exhibition has been taken on from the Stedelijk Museum CS in Amsterdam.

Piratbyrån ( The Piracy Bureau ) is a Swedish organization established to support people opposed to current ideas about intellectual property — by freely sharing information and culture. The name Piratbyrån is a play on Antipiratbyrån ( The Anti-piracy Bureau ), a non governmental but content industry-based Swedish anti-piracy organization. Piratbyrån (The Bureau of Piracy) might be best known internationally for starting up The Pirate Bay, which is now the world’s largest bit torrent tracker and the subject of a controversial court case. In the summer of 2008, the Piratbyrån crew undertakes a bus trip from Sweden to Manifesta 7 in Bolzano / Bozen. The journey will be a workshop whose aim is the formulation of a new, collaborative statement based on the group’s experiences of the recent Scandinavian conflicts over copyright. When the bus arrives there will be a final party featuring Jem Noble. The bus will then be left behind as part of the exhibition, along with the documentation of Piratbyrån’s work. The party is open to all. (PR Manifesta). In this video, I followed Piratbyrån’s invitation to enter and explore the bus, parked in the disused Alumix aluminium factory in Bolzano/Bozen.

Manifesta, the European Biennial of Contemporary Art, is one of the most important European biennials. It takes place every two years in different cities. For the seventh edition of Manifesta, a whole region was chosen: Trentino – South Tyrol, Italy. The area has been selected for its historical heritage and culture, and not least for its striking examples of industrial archaeology buildings. One of Manifesta 7 s venues is Fortezza / Franzensfeste. The impressive fortress was built in the 1830s by the Habsburgian Empire in order to defend the north/south passage through the Dolomite mountain region (now one of Europe s most important travel routes) from two sides. The exhibition at Fortezza, entitled Scenarios , has been curated by Adam Budak, Anselm Franke / Hila Peleg, and Raqs Media Collective. Scenarios focuses on sound and voice: Ten writers were invited to respond with texts to the enigma of the fortress, These texts have been translated into Italian, German and English, interpreted by a theatre director, spoken by actors and acoustically situated within listening stations designed by a sound artist. The listening stations have been sited at different locations within the grounds and buildings of Fortezza / Franzensfeste. Thus the fortress speaks these texts to the visitor. (excerpt from the PR). Contributing artists are Shahid Amin, Hélène Binet, Brave New Alps, Adriana Cavarero, Mladen Dolar, Harun Farocki, Karø Goldt, Larry Gottheim, Renée Green, Timo Kahlen, Karl Kels, Thomas Meinecke, Glen Neath, Margareth Obexer, Philippe Rahm, Arundhati Roy, Saskia Sassen, Michael Snow, and Saadi Yousef.

Just in time for the Salzburg Festival 2008, Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac in Salzburg opened an exhibition with a new cycle of works by German artist Anselm Kiefer. The show, named after the once popoular German Advent and Christmas carol Maria durch ein Dornwald ging (Maria walks amid the Thorn), presents around 30 pictures and a sculpture. Most of the works were made in 2007/2008. Some of the works on display were started in the 1970s and completed over the past months with the sedimenting working method that is so typical for Anselm Kiefer. A catalogue including an interview with Anselm Kiefer by Klaus Dermutz will accompany the exhibition.
