Fiction touches on invented stories, fantasies and literary conventions. It sits on the side of creativity, arbitrariness and doubt. Its power belongs to the speaking subject… but also to the listening one, flickering in the instantaneous and capricious relation between the two (or more) of them. In this framework, Documenta as a Fiction is foreseen as both an event and a theoretical figure based on an actual story. Resonating the ontological dissonance between the traditional notions of document and fiction, the workshop seeks for the plots and narratives of contemporary art as well as its institutional visions, giving a space for the performative encounters of individuals.

The participants will investigate the stories and their tellers with reference to the set of narratives grown over Documenta as a discursive engine. Especially over the current Documenta that outsources a part of its intellectual power to the network of art magazines and amplifies interconnections within the institutionalised art world, opening up a broad field of criticality over the predominant language in which art is being conveyed to the public. What is story? What is narrative? What is document and what is fiction? Whose is credibility? Which languages relate to or mediate reality — those of theory or of practice? How does vision turn into visibility? How does artistic action turn into actuality?

Students of art, art history and philosophy from the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk, Gdansk University, the Royal College of Art in London and Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, none of whom has yet visited this year’s Documenta in Kassel, will analyse public and personal representations of this event. They will examine the languages in which art is being communicated, observe intellectual and institutional frames and create their own narratives through drawings, confessions, interviews, video, photo and textual documentations that will be frequently posted on the web at http://documentaasafiction.blospot.com. Grounded in the performativity of the group, Documenta as a Fiction is aimed at the collaborative process without conclusion. The group will reunite in Kassel on September 18-22 to confront the real and the fictions.

Participants: Maks Bochenek, Igor Duszynski, Ola Grzonkowska, Anne Hoffmann, Hiwa K., Kordian Lewandowski, Zuzanna Malicka, Ulrich Mauer, Mathias Pelda, Roma Piotrowska, Konrad Pustola.
Workshop moderators: Aneta Szylak and Magda Pustola.
Special guest: Artur Zmijewski.
Special project "Ungeklappte Arbeiten" by Hiwa K.

Conceived by Wyspa Institute of Art as a part of the workshops organised by the Brussels-based A Prior Magazine http://www.aprior.org participating in the Documenta 12 Magazine Platform, Documenta as a Fiction is being additionally supported by the Schwerpunkt Polen at Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk, Kunsthochschule Kassel and 3City.pl.

Her(his)story 5th June-29th September, 2007
The Museum of Cycladic art is delighted to announce Her(his)tory, the first ever video exhibition in its premises, examining the notion of the subjective development of the ‘historical condition’. It is presented in a stunning installation which extends both in Stathatos Megaron, a neoclassical mansion, designed by the 19th century architect Ernst Ziller, as well the newer wing of the museum situated at 4 Neofytou Douka Street. Commissioned from the Museum of Cycladic Art to the independent curator and art critic Marina Fokidis, the exhibition is sponsored by the National Bank of Greece and Bombay Sapphire.
Concentrating on themes drawn from personal stories of today’s human beings, the show will feature the video works of leading international artists including Bruce Nauman, Garry Hill, Rodney Graham, Doug Aitken, Aernout Mik, Douglas Gordon, The Atlas Group, Anri Sala, Tony Oursler and others, as well as of younger members of the contemporary art scene such as Zineb Sedira, Adel Abdessemed, Seth Price, Cory Arcangel, Paul Chan and others
Her(his)tory addresses the major issues faced by society in the contemporary world. It will comprise of artworks which comment - with a poetic and in cases humoristic view - on questions such as the profile of contemporary woman and man, as well as the vast geopolitical contemporary arena today. The idea is to present works that will intrigue the interest around human culture and will promote the diversity found in the synthesis of various personal stories, the intersection of ‘private’ and ‘public’, and the comprehension of the ‘historical truth’ through everyday life experiences.

Through the coexistence of contemporary art video-works along with ancient objects from the permanent collections housed in the Museum of Cycladic Art, new questions are anticipated to arise in what concerns the provenance of human culture and its contemporary evolution. In particular, with relation to human representations (figurines) of the Early Cycladic culture, these elegant witnesses of the 3rd millennium BC which, though silent, reflect the anthropocentric spirit of an important prehistoric insular culture that flourished in the Aegean.

Gergiev Festival 2007

Gergiev Festival 2007 brings pioneering opera production to the Netherlands

The theme of the Gergiev Festival’s twelfth edition is Liebesnacht. From 5 to 15 September, 2007, the eleven-day festival presents symphonic music, chamber music, films, children’s performances, a masterclass and a late-night programme. At the heart of the festival are three performances of Wagner’s opera Tristan und Isolde, in a production featuring video art by Bill Viola. ‘It could well be a very long time before something this great comes our way again,’ was the enthusiastic response in the Los Angeles Times. Following its success in Los Angeles, Paris and New York, the Gergiev Festival is bringing this pioneering production to the Netherlands.

Celebrating Valery Gergiev’s 20-year association with the Netherlands
Twenty years after Valery Gergiev made his Dutch debut, this twelfth edition of the Gergiev Festival highlights his greatest passions: opera, symphonic music and the coaching of young talent. Maestro Gergiev will coach three young conductors in a masterclass. He will conduct three symphonic concerts: two with the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra and one with the celebrated World Orchestra for Peace, which is performing in the Netherlands for the first time. Gergiev also conducts Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde in a production with video art by Bill Viola.

Bill Viola’s Tristan und Isolde: ‘dazed bliss’
Video artist Bill Viola created projections for a production of Tristan und Isolde that was to be staged exclusively in Los Angeles, Paris and New York. The result was stunning. ‘I saw the last performance of the Paris run and came away in something like the state of dazed bliss that Baudelaire described,’ was the awe-inspired response of The New Yorker’s music critic. Valery Gergiev, conductor of that Paris staging, was also profoundly impressed by Viola’s imagery. It was swiftly decided that this pioneering production should not only be seen in Los Angeles, Paris and New York, but that it would also be brought to Rotterdam for three special performances during the Gergiev Festival.

World Orchestra for Peace: in the Netherlands for the first time
Music transcends boundaries. That was why the World Orchestra for Peace, which brings together the finest musicians from ensembles around the world, was founded in 1995, marking the 50th anniversary of the United Nations. Performances by this unique orchestra are rare: the musicians only come together for very special occasions. On Saturday 8 September, during the 2007 Gergiev Festival, the World Orchestra for Peace will perform in the Netherlands for the very first time. The programme includes music by Berlioz and Prokofiev that explores the theme of Romeo and Juliet — a tale of love that transcends boundaries.

A festival programme at eleven venues
The festival takes place at eleven different venues. The hub of activities is ‘de Doelen’ concert hall complex, where the opera, the symphonic concerts, the masterclass, the children’s performances and the chamber music recitals (with stars such as Leonidas Kavakos and Ralph van Raat) is being presented. A festival with the theme Liebesnacht would not be complete without a late-night programme. In Carte Noire, five musical heavyweights join with boundary-defying ensembles (from Ramsey Nasr, poet, to the ZAPP String Quartet), enjoying a totally free hand as they seize the nocturnal moment in a one-off late-night concert.

Glasgow international Festival of Contemporary Visual Art

Dates and theme for third
Glasgow international Festival of
Contemporary Visual Art announced.
11-27 April 2008

‘…there is an admirably democratic feel to Glasgow international- this is a festival that’s about showcasing the city’s living, breathing and always vibrant visual arts scene from the grassroots up…’ The Scotsman Critique

The third Glasgow international Festival of Contemporary Visual Art (Gi) will run from 11 - 27 April 2008, it was announced today. The Festival, which is set to become biennial from 2008, continues to provide a platform for the best in contemporary visual arts as well as commissioning new work. In 2008 it will once again be curated by Francis McKee.

Announcing the dates and theme of the 2008 Festival McKee said:

"Glasgow international has always extended beyond the established art spaces in the city to inhabit derelict or renovated lesser known sites. In 2008 this will continue as the festival spreads even further across Glasgow."

He added:

"Appropriately, the theme of the third Gi will centre on ideas of public and private — examining the changing nature of public space, the evolving landscape of public and private art funding and the fluid boundaries of privacy in a world of converging mobile technologies."

Further details of the Gi programme information will be announced in the coming months. For additional information visit http://www.glasgowinternational.org and register your details to receive updates.

Gi is funded by Glasgow City Council, Glasgow City Marketing Bureau, Event Scotland, The Scottish Arts Council and Scottish Enterprise Glasgow and is produced by Culture and Sport Glasgow.

The ideal of transparency, of which Utopian genealogy is found in modern architecture, goes beyond this specific field and projects throughout the twentieth century, encompassing new relations with society, politics, aesthetics, psychoanalysis and the intellectual. On the one hand exists the metaphor of an omniscient perspective enabling us to see everything, albeit from a sheltered, unexposed position, whilst on the other hand exists the metaphor of a body that allows the filtering of light and therefore the truth that prevails in all our minds. Glass is more than a systematically used resource at the heart of social space. What asserts itself is the value of transparency as an essential progressive model, analogous to absolute virtue. But is this virtue really indisputable? Does the blind trust in infinite visibility not poke fun at meaning and reason at the same time as it nourishes them? Transparency is not invisibility, and its transformation of object into subject, and
of matter into value, is determined by the ambivalent characteristics of glass as a physical body, not only with regard to reflection and opacity, but also to estrangement, excitement, frustration, isolation and the potential virtualisation of the world.

Resulting from very personal and unrestricted work on this theme, the exhibition Untouchable (The Ideal of Transparency) unites a selection of works from the last four decades, bringing to the table a collection of productions from international artists, each one with his own style, and each one with his own markedly original and divergent ideal of transparency. The relationships between transparency, reflection and opacity constitute the basis of the exhibition, constructing these notions not so much as material reality, but in terms of value, thus transcending all the ideological. Gliding between substance and moral, the exhibition is particularly interested in the fascination brought to bear by the ‘dematerialised’ aesthetic of the tertiary economy, represented in many contemporary art works, with the eroticism and the hygiene of transparency. This follows a movement that goes with the ideal and its divergence; the opacity of an economic emptiness, the frustration of separ
ation, and the confinement of the subject.

Through this voluntarily ambiguous and polymorphic display concerning the thematic (including films, installations, painting, photographs and performances), the exhibition aims to expound certain modern attitudes and contemporary links to the notion of transparency through several chapters; positive celebration and ornamentalism, economics and politics, eroticism and the organic, discolouration and disappearance. This game of free associations brings about a sensuous journey, from absolute visibility to black-out, from dazzling dawn to muted dusk, from purity to contamination, from appearance to evanescence.

This exhibition, an enriched version of the original exhibition realised for the Villa Arson de Niza (France) in June 2006, is one phase within a more extensive theoretical project about this theme which will lead to a second exhibition organised for 2008 in the Museo Patio Herreriano, commencing with specific productions that will develop the complex relations artists nowadays maintain with relation to certain aspects of modernity.

Lingen Kunsthalle

Anastasia Khoroshilova — Islanders
22 July - 23 September 2007

Lingen Kunsthalle
Kaiserstraße, 49809 Lingen
Telefon: 0591/5 99 95
Fax: 0591/5 99 05
info@kunsthalle-lingen.de

http://www.kunsthalle-lingen.de

Born in Moscow in 1978, photographer Anastasia Khoroshilova focuses her work on the people of modern-day Russia and the countryside where they live. The artist, who lives in Berlin now, will be showing extensive photographic series in the Lingen Kunsthalle which she has produced during the past six years. One of Khoroshilova’s reference points is Sergei Lobovikov. The Lingen Kunstverein mounted an exhibition of works by this early "Russian Master of Art Photography" as far back as 1995, availing of loans from Russian museums. His vintage prints, dating back to the early 20th century, also focus on people (primarily peasants who just a few years earlier had been in serfdom) as well as the countryside of his era.

Anastasia Khoroshilova studied in Germany, where she also launched her career. She is part of a phenomenon which contemporary Russian critics term the "post-diaspora". The term refers to artists who, while working and establishing themselves on the international stage, do not view themselves as emigrants: instead, these artists not only emphasise their Russian identity, but also incorporate it into their work. Such a holistic and simultaneously complex identity is new to Russian culture which, during the last century, presented intellectuals with a stark choice between remaining in their native country, with all its isolationist tendencies, and emigrating.

In a statement on her series "The Bezhin Meadow", Anastasia Khoroshilova writes: "I have selected episodes from Russian cultural history […] to form the narrative foundations. They are all characterised by the authors’ striving to understand the phenomenon posed by the world of the Russian peasant. The first of these episodes includes Ivan Turgenev’s "Notes of a Hunter" and (in particular) his short story "The Bezhin Meadow". The second episode refers to Sergei Eisenstein’s film "The Bezhin Meadow", which was banned and destroyed by Stalin, while the final episode references Vladimir Sorokin’s novel simply entitled "A Novel". All these works deal in different ways with the life of Russian peasants — and of living in the country. They were all created during a transitionary phase of Russian history which was replete with social contradictions. This forms the starting point for my work."

Regarding her series "Islanders", from which this exhibition takes its name, she says: "Having once attended a German boarding school, I came up with the idea of photographing people outside their world - outside their home - and engaging with the life of those who have exchanged their own home for community living. For all such people, this is a time-dependent condition which can either be bridged or enjoyed: Some people voluntarily spend their time in certain institutions, others are there to pursue a (career-related) goal. Yet others find themselves in an institution because there is no longer a way out. Whether one is in an orphanage, intent on seeking refuge from the outside world, or privileged to train at a ballet boarding school - the traces of this time will remain forever in the psyche and inner lives of such people."

The extensive exhibition in Lingen includes works from the artist’s most important series. The exhibition can be viewed during the Kunsthalle’s opening hours: Tue, Wed, Fri 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.; Thu 10 a.m. - 8 p.m.; Sat, Sun 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. Free guided tours: Thursdays at 6.30 p.m., Sundays at 11.30 a.m. Free entrance on Thursdays from 6 p.m.
