Mischa Kuball. ReMix/Broca II (Letters/Numbers)

The multimedia installation ReMix/Broca II (Letters/Numbers) will open the international exhibition tour of the work of Mischa Kuball (*1959), a light and media artist from Düsseldorf, Germany, at the ZKM | Museum of Contemporary Art. Kuball has worked conceptually with light for more than 20 years and in a unique way has linked light with social and political statements. Within his complex and multifarious work, the pieces that confront human communication form a specific concentration. Presented for the first time is the new, extensive multimedia installation ReMix/Broca II (Letters/Numbers). With this work, Kuball refers to the Broca’s area of the brain, which forms language capability and thereby the basic conditions for human communication.

Curators: Andreas F. Beitin, Gregor Jansen

ReMix/Broca II (Letters/Numbers) is a collaborative project by the Ruhr-Universität/Neuropsychologie, Bochum; the HfG Staatliche Hochschule für Gestaltung, Karlsruhe; and the ZKM.

Published by Hatje Cantz Verlag on the occasion of the exhibition is the monograph Mischa Kuball …in progress. Projekte/Projects 1980-2007 (Florian Matzner ed.). Authors include Walter Grasskamp, Boris Groys, Peter Sloterdijk and Peter Weibel; ca. 416 pages, ca. 270 illustrations, ISBN 978-3-7757-1926-1.

On Saturday, 31 March, 2007, at 4 p.m. in the ZKM_Lecture hall there will be a discussion on “Art and Science” with Mischa Kuball, Peter Weibel, Gregor Jansen, and the artists represented in the related exhibition My Gene, It has Five Corners … .

Since the beginning of modern times a mutual fascination has flowered between the creativity of art and the measurable results of science. The visualization of complex scientific facts stimulates mutual confrontation and often fosters a growth in knowledge. The ZKM | Museum of Contemporary Art offers insight into this multidisciplinary realm of art + science. Parallel to the exhibition by Mischa Kuball, various works will be shown by artists Gerard Caris, Wolfgang Herbold, Andreas Horlitz, Karsten K. Panzer PerZan, Hermann Josef Roth and Julian Voss-Andreae, works that illuminate the areas of art and science from various artistic perspectives.

Curators: Andreas F. Beitin, Gregor Jansen

A discussion of the topic "Art and Science" with the artists represented in the exhibition, together with Mischa Kuball, Peter Weibel and Gregor Jansen will be held on Saturday, 31 March, 2007, at 4 p.m. in the ZKM_Lecture hall.

The publication Pentagonismus / Pentagonism on the work of Gerard Caris will be published on the occasion of the exhibition, with texts by Benno Artmann, Antoon van den Braembussche, Jan van de Craats, Robbert H. Dijkgraaf, Hans Heinz Holz, Semir Zeki, edited by Gregor Jansen and Peter Weibel. The book, of around 180 pages and 100 illustrations, received funding from the Fonds voor beeldende kunsten, vormgeving en bouwkunst, Amsterdam.

In less than one month time, the 25th edition of the contemporary art fair artbrussels will open its doors. A select group of leading galleries from 20 countries brings work by both established and young, up-and-coming artists. Visitors can look forward to browsing more than 2,000 artworks, offering a fantastic, actual overview of the latest developments in the contemporary art world.

In addition to the usual programme of events, a number of special projects will help stress the festive jubilee nature of artbrussels 2007. A complete restyling of the fair with new walls at 3,5 m height will enhance the quality of this 25th edition. Major attractions this year, are the artists’ interventions and a most interesting debates programme with international speakers.

Five artists create an artwork for the fair

With this 25th edition, artbrussels would like to draw attention to the enormous number of internationally known artists Belgium has to offer.

To keep the festive feel of this edition going, Hans Op de Beeck has been invited to show his video All Together Now.

Jan De Cock achieves his long-held ambition to create a work for the fair and will build the installation entitled Denkmal 1 artbrussels, Belgiëplein 1, Brussel, 2007 which will serve as information desk in the entrance to Hall 11.

Kris Martin has been invited to design the artbrussels carry-bags. With his conceptual approach Kris has provided a design open to endless interpretations.

Ann-Veronica Janssens will on the occasion of the fair convert her recent "mirror ball" design into trim for VIP cars, ensuring a playful presence in the city landscape during the time of the far.

Finally, the French Community is inviting Eric Duyckaerts, who will represent Belgium in the forthcoming Venice Biennial. He will give a performance during the opening on Thursday 19 April.

Museum Hours
Wednesday – Sunday, 1:00 – 5:00 pm
All CCS Bard exhibitions are free and open to the public.

Also on view:
WRESTLE, the inaugural exhibition at the Hessel Museum of Art, draws from 40 years of work from the Marieluise Hessel Collection. Instead of providing an overview of Hessel’s collection or a selection of “greatest hits,” WRESTLE presents provocative juxtapositions that suggest contesting conceptual strategies or the use of similar material approaches to markedly contrasting ends. Many works zero in on questions of psychological struggle, the self divided against itself, and masculinity, sexuality, and violence. Curated by Tom Eccles and Trevor Smith

The Center for Curatorial Studies
The Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College (CCS Bard) is an exhibition and research center dedicated to the study of art and exhibition practices from the 1960s to the present day. The Center’s graduate curriculum is specifically designed to deepen students’ understanding of the intellectual and practical tasks of curating exhibitions of contemporary art, particularly in the complex social and cultural situations of present-day urban arts institutions. In November, 2006, CCS Bard inaugurated the Hessel Museum of Art, a new 17,000 square-foot building for exhibitions curated from the Marieluise Hessel Collection of more than 1,700 contemporary works.
