Open: Tuesday till Sunday, 9.00 a.m. till 4.00 p.m.
In the historical venue, The Past Forgotten Time / MASA LALU MASA LUPA
, the theme which embraces all of the curatorial programs at Art House
Cemeti during the period July through December 2006,
“MATAHARIKU-MATAHARIMU” represents an attempt to construct a
particular curatorial approach towards artists from various
generations in three cities on Java: Yogyakarta, Bandung and Jakarta.
The approach is based on the thesis that artists and their entire
formative complex, whether intellectually social, individually
artistic, or politically ethical, must contribute a specific
perspective, which will enrich the historical domain on a whole.
However fluid the social role of the artist in society is, it is often
seen as an important indicator in the direction of cultural change in
the wider community. It is for this reason that these artists are
involved in this project with the historical theme.
Of course, to all of the artists from the generational layers in these
three cities, it is not just a ‘representation’ of a variety of
analyses, understanding and artistic expression about history, but
also as an art and social pilot project.
This presentation, ‘MATAHARIKU-MATAHARIMU’ from artists of several
generations in Bandung, expresses the entire creative process of the
artists, covering the analyses, ideas, fantasies, expressions,
interactions, and creations in various media, which help to strengthen
our faith in the social function of art.
Sunaryo (born 1943), Tisna Sanjaya (born 1958), R.E. Hartanto (born
1973) and Prilla Tania (born 1979) are the artists who are developing
their careers in Bandung.

The Trustees of The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum are pleased to
announce that the first international Hall Curatorial Fellowship has
been awarded to Thomas Trummer of Vienna, Austria. Mr. Trummer will
curate an exhibition entitled Voice and Void, which will be on view at The Aldrich from September 16, 2007 to February 24, 2008.
The Hall Fellowship allows The Aldrich to cast a wider, more
international net, and bring new artists and ideas to the Museum.
Curators living outside the U.S. are invited to submit proposals for
exhibitions. These submissions are evaluated by distinguished members
of the art community. Jurors for this year’s Fellowship included Kasper
Koenig, director, Ludwig Museum, Cologne; Susanne Ghez, director, The
Renaissance Society, University of Chicago; and Harry Philbrick,
director of The Aldrich. They selected Mr. Trummer from a pool of
applicants that included curators from China, South Korea, Britain,
Sweden, France, Austria, Germany, Italy, Portugal, the Slovak Republic,
Turkey, Kazakhstan, and Iran.
The jurors were impressed by Trummer’s ambitious, well-conceived
proposal to create an exhibition involving sound, voice, and
language—all areas of abiding and increasing interest amongst artists
and curators—as well as his experience as a curator and extensive
résumé as a writer. Trummer’s exhibition will consider the human voice
in avant-garde art for the past forty years. Voice and Void attempts
to illustrate how presence of voice has the ability to fill space; and
the marked absence of voice represents a void. Nothingness is
inaudible, as emptiness and vacuum are invisible, yet both are present
in space.
To be eligible for the Hall Curatorial Fellowship, an applicant must be
an art professional with a focus on contemporary art, and a citizen of
and resident of a country other than the United States of America. The
applicant must be proficient in English, have prior experience as a
curator or co-curator of at least three professional exhibitions of
contemporary art, and be able to travel to the United States.
The Museum is grateful to Andy and Christine Hall for their generous support of this project.

P·P·O·W Gallery is delighted to announce 554-5251 a
construction by Sarah Oppenheimer.
In her upcoming exhibition at P·P·O·W, Sarah Oppenheimer continues to explore the
malleability of the constructed environment. Oppenheimer engages with the
problem of ‘mutable architecture’ using the standardized building
material as a socially engaged starting point. Bending the typical 4’ x 8’ sheet of
plywood, she transforms the gallery’s interior cladding into a structural
skin.

The End of Scanning by Richard Dyck with Flower and Leaf Arrangements by Susie Rempel
Exhibition: September 8 - October 20, 2006
Artist Talk: September 8, 7pm in the Platform Gallery
Opening Reception: September 8, 8pm
Local artist Richard Dyck looks back on a large body of work involving the capture of three-dimensional objects with a flat bed scanner.
In a three-part grid installation, Rick re-purposes his hundreds of scans to create an exhibition that ends his use of flatbed scanners. Susie Rempel, Rick’s grandmother, becomes a collaborator in
one installation, for which Rick scanned and digitally printed her book of pressed flower and leaf arrangements. Accompanying this organic,
ephemeral grid installation is another grid featuring 55 scans of insect glue traps. Both pieces–one possibly narrative, the other associated with calendar–document a fatal method of capturing something living and
the mortal wonder and remorse implicit to that. The third piece is an ever-shifting digitally projected mosaic of Rick’s entire archive of
scanned objects. 2000+ images appear and disappear, creating unique and temporal arrangements to be seen fleetingly before changing forever.
Richard Dyck is a local new media artist who creates work with the flatbed scanner, computer software, and CD-ROM technology. He has exhibited nationally and internationally since 1994 in locations such as Toronto, North Dakota, Berlin, and Belgrade, amongst others. Dyck has been the recipient of many awards and grants from the local, provincial and national levels. His work has been written about in numerous publications, including the Globe and Mail, Border Crossings, BlackFlash, and the Winnipeg Free Press. As well as working on his own practice, Dyck has also collaborated with several artists producing multimedia components for exhibitions.

September 2006 in Artforum
In Artforum’s September 2006 issue: Douglas Gordon and Philippe Parreno’s Zidane, a 21st Century Portrait. Artists have long navigated the visual territory shared by art and cinema, but few have brought these spheres together as grandly as this filmic collaboration, which debuted at Cannes in May before its presentation this past summer at Art Basel. Art historian Michael Fried and Artforum editor Tim Griffin provide two views of a project that–by following the soccer player Zidane for the duration of a single ninety-minute match–reaches back to eighteenth-century portraiture and forward to contemporary spectacle culture.
“Zidane’s dazzling and unerring footwork, his astonishing control of the ball, his instantaneous decision making all exemplify his seemingly unremitting focus on the game even as they combine to keep the viewer perceptually on edge. [But] a major part of the conceptual brilliance of Zidane consists in the fact that its protagonist’s sustained feat of absorption is depicted as taking place before an audience of eighty thousand spectators, with millions more watching via TV.” –Michael Fried on Zidane
Also in September: Hal Foster pens the first in a series of occasional essays for Artforum, “New Fields of Architecture.” Beginning this month with a discussion of Zaha Hadid’s retrospective (currently on view at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York), Foster considers the ways in which architecture today, more than art, might focus urgent questions about new kinds of representations and media, materials and technologies–affording us the best opportunity to grasp the look of modernity.
“As much as any architect, Hadid has responded to the Futurist call for an opening of structure onto space, an interpenetration of interior and exterior, an intensification of ‘figure’ and ‘environment’ alike.” –Hal Foster on Zaha Hadid
And: Artforum looks ahead to the coming season with a survey of more than fifty shows opening worldwide. Get a first glimpse of Fischli & Weiss at Tate Modern, London; Brice Marden at the Museum of Modern Art, New York; General Idea at the Kunsthalle Zürich; Neo Rauch at the Kunstmuseum, Wolfsberg, Germany; the California Biennial at the Orange County Museum of Art; the Asia-Pacific Triennial at the Queensland Art Gallery in Brisbane, Australia; and many more.
Plus: Mel Bochner reveals all the secrets behind “The Domain of the Great Bear,” his subversive collaboration with Robert Smithson concerning the Hayden Planetarium at New York’s Museum of Natural History, on the fortieth anniversary of its original publication; Helen Molesworth finds Lee Lozano anything but prudish at the Kunsthalle Basel; James Quandt and John Kelsey consider the guerrilla poetics of Jean-Luc Godard’s “cut-and-paste” multimedia installation at the Centre Pompidou, Paris; Martin Herbert finds a “complex ethics of framing” in the art of Marine Hugonnier; T. J. Demos introduces the Otolith Group; Christoph Cox eavesdrops on “Sonambiente” in Berlin; and David Joselit assesses Jenny Holzer’s recent work and “Consider This . . . ” at LACMALab, Los Angeles.
And: Liam Gillick reviews the circumstances around curator Chris Gilbert’s recent resignation from his post at the Berkeley Art Museum and the Pacific Film Archive; Jeffrey Kastner reinvestigates the cancellation of Manifesta 6; Thomas Lawson finds a home away from home in “Los Angeles 1955–1985” at the Centre Pompidou; Mark Godfrey revisits the roles of sculpture and photography in Thomas Demand’s work at the Serpentine Gallery, London; and Matias Faldbakken runs down his Top Ten.
