This exhibition revolves around an archaeology of different historical aesthetic forms coexisting at the heart of recent artistic practices. Rather than starting out from this vast storehouse-cum-archive of forms that is History, understood as a linear narrative that stretches from the ‘past’ to the present day, the exhibition focuses on examples and cases from ‘now’ that use different forms of historicity and/or historicism. Archaeology, as everyone knows, centres on research into history and is a discipline based on strict methods of chronological dating, period, epoch, style, school, etc. Only after archaeological analysis of material signs and remains is it possible to enter into anthropological studies on who made what, why and to what end.

One of the underlying intentions of this group exhibition of work by five artists is to reflect on the sedimentation of time in highly codified cultural forms that range from the realm of everyday objects to the configuration of the environment around us, including the formation of artworks. Architecture, design, the moving image and popular culture all intermingle in an X-ray of the cultural present with one eye on yesterday.

There are few cultural productions that transmit as much codified information to us as the cutting edges of image, art and design. The diagnosis of the present is stratified to the extent that "one day we’ll need archaeologists to help us guess the original storylines of even classic films" (William Gibson, Pattern Recognition, G.P. Putnam’s Sons, 2003). This sci-fi novel about the advent of new modes of consumption makes its appearance here like a reference. In a pop-cultural context, what we tend towards is the recognition of forms, patterns and models. In identifying ourselves with aesthetic elements, we mould subjectivities. What is going on here is a contradictory balance between the standardisation of ways of life and the need for their continual singularisation: a "mirror-world" in which everything is recognisable without being alike, in which everything looks like everything else
but is different.

The artistic practices of Martin Beck, Carol Bove, Dora García, Mathias Poledna and Pia Rönicke share this analytical sensitivity towards the artificial constructs that intersect historical memory with mass culture, and are part of a tradition of critique that has continued to question the universal concepts of the aesthetic experience of high modernism through to the present day. It is in the form, the style and the language that the differences between the projections of the Sixties to the present are visible. Style (as residue) in this context is a carrier of the ideology of the times, dissolving the historical within the aesthetic, midway between timelessness and periodization.

This exhibition borrows its name from Fredric Jameson’s book, Archaeologies of the Future: the Desire called Utopia and other Science Fictions (Verso, 2005), a title that is an entire programme in itself. Nevertheless, its origin lies in the conclusion of the author’s previous book on modernity and modernism, A Singular Modernity (Verso, 2000), when he writes that "Ontologies of the present demand archaeologies of the future, not forecasts of the past".

Archaeologies of the Future as a visual essay is an attempt to short-circuit the archaeologies of the past (those of modernity) with a scenario of historicism close to science-fiction.

Another of the notable features lies in the methods used by all the artists, which include appropriation, quotation, re-contextualisation, revision, design, reference and self-reference, and manipulations of style, with culture being read as a second nature.

The exhibition will be accompanied by a catalogue featuring all the projects in the show. This catalogue is being published by rekalde and distributed internationally by Revolver Verlag, Frankfurt.

Archaeologies of the Future has received the support of the Danish Arts Council and the Foro Cultural Austria in Madrid

As part of the exhibition, the British artist Liam Gillick (Aylesbury, 1964) will be giving a talk related to the concept of the show on Thursday 22 November at 7.00 pm.

This talk is being supported by the British Council

During the same dates, the Abstract Cabinet of sala rekalde will be showing a solo project by the young Basque artist Erlea Maneros (Bilbao, 1977), curated by Leire Vergara. The pictorial work of Maneros is noted for its incisive exploration of the vast output of images today. Though abstract in character, her work takes figuration as its starting point and develops and takes shape through the artist’s appropriation of visual documents that are analysed and transformed to the extent that the image is removed from its original context.

The new series of works presented at rekalde takes a specific image as its starting point: a painting by the American Charles Willson Peale, a portrait painter and contemporary of the political figures and events of the United States War of Independence.

Ludwig Museum

Katarzyna Kozyra
"In Art Dreams Come True"
27 September-28 October 2007

Ludwig Museum

Palace of Arts
H-1095 Budapest, Komor Marcell u. 1.

Katarzyna Kozyra (Warsaw, 1963-) is one of the most famous contemporary Polish media artists in the world. In 1999 she represented Poland at the 48th International Venice Biennial.

In Hungary, she became famous by shooting a video in one of Budapest’s spas with the help of a hidden camera. In the pieces entitled Men’s Bathhouseand Women’s Bathhouse she investigated from a sociological point of view whether the behaviour of men or women is likely to change in an environment free from the other sex.

Katalin Néray, Director of Ludwig Museum — Museum of Contemporary Art, noticed the work of Katarzyna Kozyra as early as 1997 when, during the Polish cultural festival Polonia Express, the latter presented in the Kunsthalle the artist’s Pyramid of Animals which was inspired by the opera The Musicians of Bremen. In 2003, the video project Rite of Spring was displayed in the ‘A’ wing of Buda Castle, the former location of the museum. In this work, Kozyra substituted old, naked dancers for the young participants moving violently to Stravinsky’s music and Vaslav Nisinski’s choreography. In September 2007, a solo exhibition of Katarzyna Kozyra’s work is presented in LUMÚ for the
second time.

Katarzyna Kozyra’s travelling exhibition, In Art Dreams Come True, uses the visual media of theatre, film, and opera, respectively. In this multimedia piece the Polish artist presents extremely different representations of female types, such as the opera diva, the princess of fairy tales, the pop star, or the femme fatale. The artist chooses masters who help her learn, play, and transform into the
stereotypical roles.

She met her first master, a transvestite DJ and singer named Gloria Viagra in Berlin. Viagra introduced her to the world and atmosphere of night clubs, taught her about proper make-up, hairdo, behaviour and movement, went shopping with her, and helped her choose clothes.

She met the second master, a music teacher referred to as the Maestro, in Warsaw. From him she learnt the breathing technique and the posture required for opera singing, and the exaggerated, almost forced and unrealistic performing methods of sublime emotions. Kozyra was taking singing lessons for more than a year to develop her abilities to express emotions.

The worlds of the opera singer and the street walker are opposing at first sight, but in both artificial environments femininity is the central theme. What is more, they both present the process of transformation, being disguised, and superficiality. The two worlds seem to melt to create a distorted fairy tale centred on the artist about unrealistic dreams and desires. By questioning prescribed roles associated with the sexes and obscuring the differences between femininity and masculinity, Katarzyna Kozyra investigates the true meaning of gender roles in this project.

The exhibition was displayed previously in Poland (in Warsaw and Wroclaw), in the Czech Republic (Brno), and in Slovakia (Trnava).

The Ludwig Museum in cooperation with the BWA Gallery, Wroclaw, displays about 30 video works of the artist involving several different techniques, i.e. televisions, computers, or projectors, and also exhibits five clothes designed by the artist especially for this project to be worn at the performances.

MANIFESTA 7

MANIFESTA 7

Curators:
ADAM BUDAK
ANSELM FRANKE / HILA PELEG
RAQS MEDIA COLLECTIVE

TRENTINO — ALTO ADIGE / SÜDTIROL ITALY

19 July - 2 November 2008

The International Foundation Manifesta is delighted to announce the selection of the newly appointed curators of Manifesta 7, the European Biennial of Contemporary Art: Adam Budak (Krakow/Graz), Anselm Franke (Antwerp/Berlin) / Hila Peleg (Berlin) and the members of the Raqs Media Collective (New Delhi). Manifesta 7 will take place in the region of Trentino –Alto Adige / Südtirol, Italy from 19 July to 2 November 2008. The curators were appointed by the IFM board from a shortlist of more than 20 candidates.

Manifesta, the European Biennial of Contemporary art, changes locations every two years. Following the cancellation of Manifesta 6 in Nicosia, Cyprus in 2006, the next edition, Manifesta 7, will be situated across a 150 kilometres of historical and industrial locations in the region of Trentino – Alto Adige / Südtirol. This region is recognised by Manifesta for its extraordinary industrial heritage and cultural infrastructure, which will form the basis for formulating the artistic strategy of Manifesta 7.

Manifesta 7 will open to the public on July 19, 2008 and will run until 2 November, 2008. The venues are located on one of Europe’s most important travel routes between north and south: the fortress of Fortezza that dates back to the middle of the 19th century, three industrial buildings from the first decades of the 20th century the Ex-Alumix (Bolzano) and the Ex-Alpe and Ex-Peterlini (both located in Rovereto) as well as the Post Office building in Trento, an edifice constructed in the rationalist style in the 1930. While articulating an overall framework for Manifesta 7, each of the three curatorial units will concentrate on working in one city and its venues, with Raqs Media Collective working in Bolzano, Anselm Franke/Hila Peleg in Trento, and Adam Budak in Rovereto. The fourth venue, the fortress Fortezza, will be curated by all curators collaboratively.

About the curators:

Adam Budak, who lives in Graz and Krakow, is currently curator for contemporary art at the Kunsthaus Graz am Landesmuseum Joanneum in Graz, Austria. He studied theatre studies at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow and history and philosophy of art and architecture at the Central European University in Prague. He is a guest professor at the Higher Institute for Fine Arts – Flanders in Ghent and at the Theatre Institute of the Kunstuniversität in Graz. He has recently co-established the postgraduate studies programme in curatorial practice and theory at the Art History Institute of the Jagiellonian University in Krakow. Adam Budak has curated "Architectures: Metastructures of Humanity, Morphic Strategies of Exposure", exhibition in the Polish Pavilion of the 9th Venice Biennale of Architecture (2004). He worked with acclaimed artists such as John Baldessari, Cerith Wyn Evans and Monika Sosnowska, and has curated a large number of international exhibitions. Rec
ent projects include "Protections. This Is Not an Exhibition" (together with Christine Peters) and "Volksgarten. Politics of Belonging" (cocurated with Katia Schurl and Peter Pakesch).

Anselm Franke is the artistic director of Extra City Center for Contemporary Art in Antwerp. He has been Director of Exhibitions at KW Institute for Contemporary Art in Berlin until 2006. In Berlin, he continues to work as co-curator of the Forum Expanded of the International Film Festival Berlin. He has frequently organised projects in theatres, as well as in architectural and academic contexts. Writing for various magazines such as Piktogram, he is currently completing a PhD at the Visual Cultures/Center for Research Architecture at Goldsmiths College London. At the moment, he is working on an exhibition titled "Mimétisme".

For Manifesta 7, Anselm Franke will be collaborating with Hila Peleg, who is a curator based in Berlin. Born in Tel Aviv, Peleg studied Art History at Goldsmiths College/University of London, where she is currently a PhD candidate in Curatorial Knowledge/Visual Cultures. Peleg organised and co-curated various international projects dealing with artistic practices and culture from the Middle East. More recently, Peleg has edited a book on the artist Keren Cytter published by Revolver, and she directed the film "A Crime Against Art", released by UNP Berlin. Peleg and Franke have co-organised the exhibition "Imaginary Number" at KW Berlin (2005) and "Clinic - A Pathology of Gesture" at
HAU Berlin (2006).

The Raqs Media Collective (Jeebesh Bagchi, Monica Narula & Shuddhabrata Sengupta) has been variously described as artists, media practitioners, curators, researchers, editors and catalysts of cultural processes. Their work, which has been exhibited widely in major international spaces and events, locates them squarely along the intersections of contemporary art, historical enquiry, philosophical speculation, research and theory - often taking the form of installations, online and offline media objects, performances and encounters. They live and work in Delhi, based at Sarai, Centre for the Study of Developing Societies, an initiative they co-founded in 2000. They are members of the editorial collective of the Sarai Reader series.

About the team:

Manifesta 7 is a co-production between the International Foundation Manifesta, the Autonomous Province of Bozen/Bolzano — South Tyrol and the Autonomous Province of Trento, who combined forces in a new administrative entity called Comitato Manifesta 7. Hedwig Fijen, director of the IFM in Amsterdam is also acting as President of the Comitato Manifesta 7 in Italy and thus ultimately responsible. In addition, two other board members of the International Foundation Manifesta are represented in the local Comitato Manifesta 7: Viktor Misiano and Allard Huizing, attorney in law.

Andreas Hapkemeyer (former Director of Museion, the museum of modern and contemporary art in Bolzano), and Fabio Cavallucci (Director of Galleria Civica di Arte Contemporanea in Trento) are appointed as the coordinators of Manifesta 7 and form the management team.

Manifesta 7 is financially supported by the Autonomous Province of Bozen/Bolzano — South Tyrol, the Autonomous Province of Trento, and the European Commission Culture 2000 Programme.

About Manifesta:

Manifesta and its related activities are an initiative of the International Foundation Manifesta in Amsterdam. Manifesta is the only itinerant biennial in the world. Every two years all parameters change, therefore Manifesta at Home in Amsterdam is the permanent backbone structure of this nomadic biennial.

International Foundation Manifesta is funded by European Commission Culture 2000 programme and the Dutch Mondriaan Foundation.

Beginning in October, our storefront on Ludlow Street will temporarily become a pawnshop dedicated to the pawning of artworks. PAWNSHOP will open at noon on Monday, October 1st and will have regular business hours of Tuesday through Saturday, 12-6 pm. It will remain in operation through early 2008

Structurally, a pawnshop is a short-term loan business, which retains a collateral object in exchange for cash — a small fraction of the object’s value that must be repaid with interest for the item is to be re-claimed by its original owner. If, after 30 days, the item has not been claimed, the pawnbroker earns the right to sell it, and the pawned object remains on display until it is picked up or purchased by
someone else.

PAWNSHOP’s initial inventory is comprised of over 60 pawned works from a group of artists invited to participate in the project. After PAWNSHOP opens for business on October 1st, artists may walk in with a work they want to pawn — we will happily look at all submissions and, if we find any of interest, we may add them to our inventory. After the initial 30 days, on November 1st, the artworks that have not been retrieved by their original owners may become available for sale.

Although these days pawnshops are often found in distressed urban neighborhoods, or near gambling sites where fast cash comes at a premium, this was not the case historically. From early Chinese society to the Medici era in Europe, pawnshops served as primary lenders to their communities and provided financial bases for some of the more important historical events of their times, including the discovery of the Americas; Columbus’ voyage was funded by Queen Isabella of Spain pawning her jewels. We are very curious what discoveries our pawnshop will bring about…

For several years now e-flux has been experimenting with models unusual for art, exploring the poetics of circulation and distribution. We love pawnshops for their mix of acute inventiveness, futurity and anticipation… and the idea that the object (a gun, a ring, a work of art in our case) is collateral for cash, a substitution, which might be traded back for the object during a set duration of time. A pawnshop is a stage where merchandise and money dance in a choreography that could have them circle back and cancel each other out, but in fact rarely does. What better place to question how the value of the artwork and the worth of money might be set, and reset

PAWNSHOP is a project by Julieta Aranda, Liz Linden and Anton Vidokle.

Participating artists: Lucas Ajemian, Carlos Amorales / Nuevos Ricos, James Angus, Julieta Aranda, Julie Ault, Fia Backström, Steven Baldi, Julien J.

Carte Blanche to Ugo Rondinone
With: Ronald Bladen, Lee Bontecou, Martin Boyce, Joe Brainard, Valentin Carron, Vija Celmins, Bruce Conner, Verne Dawson, Jay Defeo, Trisha Donnelly, Urs Fischer, Bruno GironcoIi, Robert Gober, Nancy Grossman, Hans Josephsohn, Brion Gysin et William S. Burroughs, Toba Khedoori, Karen Kilimnik, Emma Kunz, Andrew Lord, Sarah Lucas, Hugo Markl, Cady Noland, Laurie Parsons, Jean-Frédéric Schnyder, Josh Smith, Paul Thek, Andy Warhol, Rebecca Warren, Sue Williams.

An innovative Carte Blanche
Giving an internationally renowned artist carte blanche is a key idea that emanates from the director of the Palais de Tokyo, Marc-Olivier Wahler. Placed at the centre of the decision-making process determining the programming of the Palais de Tokyo, the artist is free to concoct an entire exhibition. His or her vision is given an auspicious setting and sufficient time to develop into a visual arts world that is always unique. As well as offering a kind of map of the artist’s brain, desires and influences, giving carte blanche to an artist provides an opportunity to approach the processes of creation and aesthetic cross-referencing from a novel angle. Artists are never where we expect them to be. They look at our reality, our everyday life, but also the works of their contemporaries, in a unique and enlightened way.

A unique artistic gesture
With THE THIRD MIND, Ugo Rondinone offers us a unique journey. An MRI scan of his influences, inclinations and obsessions, the exhibition is constructed as a stroll through a brain in perpetual activity, going straight to the source of the artist’s references and discoveries. For the first time his gift for building systems of connections — an aptitude which has made Ugo Rondinone famous — is placed at the service of the works of other artists, not his own. The systems of connections activated as well as the artists and works chosen make THE THIRD MIND an exhibition that no curator/art historian would ever have been able to dream up.

UGO RONDINONE presents works by artists from the 1960s to the present, devoting a room, for example, to the monumental sculptures of Ronald Bladen, which he connects with Cady Noland’s silkscreens on aluminium and Nancy Grossmann’s disturbing masks.

Limerick City Gallery of Art

Michael Minnis
Here, and Nowhere Else
September 7th - October 21st

Limerick City Gallery of Art
Carnegie Building,
Pery Square,
Limerick,
Ireland
Opening Hours:
Monday - Friday 10-6pm;
Thursday 10-7pm; Saturday 10-5pm; Sunday 2-5pm

http://www.limerickcity.ie/lcga/

Limerick City Gallery of Art is very pleased to present a major solo exhibition, Here, and Nowhere Else by Michael Minnis. This exhibition which includes new work in paintings, photography and video are all based on a book uncovered in Limerick dating from 1989 featuring a photographic celebration of the Ukrainian City, Dnipropetrovs’k. The images in the album are central to the development of the exhibition, and are explored through a diverse series of processes; cropped and painted, re-photographed on site in Dnipropetrovs’k and re-presented as video. The work explores memory, time and displacement.

Dnipropetrovs’k was a ‘closed city’ until the 1990s because of its military significance incorporating nuclear, arms and space industries. The ‘original’ reproductions that Minnis uses as a starting point have a dream-like unreal quality, distorted in various ways, through a super-saturated colour, fading, and the patterns of the inks on the paper. These dated photographs of buildings, people and boats form a fabricated image, a kitsch record. History and time become displaced in a process of selection and reproduction by the artist.

A video installation occupies the North gallery, where two sunrises unfold, while another narrative develops through a series of slides. Minnis visited Dnipropetrovs’k in the last few months of preparation for the exhibition to search for sites that were familiar from the photographs. One spectacular find was a concrete circus building. The slides show the plaza, the empty spaces where groups of people sat, and the deserted circus, empty apart from cleaners and dusty, stuffed animals fallen off of
their mounts.

EVENTS:
Michael Minnis Artist’s talk Thursday 20th September at 1:00 pm.
The exhibition Here, and Nowhere Else, will be accompanied by a brochure with an essay by Dr. Gavin Murphy.

Biographical Notes:
Michael Minnis was born in Belfast in 1964 and currently lives in Clare. He studied Fine Art at the University of Ulster and Manchester Metropolitan University. He is a lecturer in Fine Art Painting at GMIT, Galway. He was awarded the PS1 Fellowship 1994-1995. Recent solo exhibitions include Fenderesky Gallery, Belfast, Dunamaise Art Centre, Port Laois and. Group exhibitions include The Disembodied Eye: Collective Histories of Northern Irish Art, Golden Thread gallery, Belfast (2006) and ev+a 2006 give (a) way.

THE 1ER OCTOBER AT 6.30PM : VIDÉO ET APRÈS WITH THE ARTIST, CINEMA 1

Following exhibitions devoted to Stan Douglas in 1994, Johan Grimonprez in 1997, James Coleman in 1996, Pierre Huyghe in 2000, Ugo Rondinone in 2003 and Isaac Julien in 2005, the Centre Pompidou’s Department of New Media presents the work of Belgian artist David Claerbout, born in Courtrai in 1969.

Claerbout blurs the line between the still and the moving image, digitally manipulating analogue images to create works that invite a reconsideration both of the image and of our perceptions of space and time. After Paris, the exhibition travels to the MIT List Center in Cambridge (February-April 2008), the Kunstmuseum St Gallen (May-June 2008) and the Belkin Galleries, UBC, Vancouver (Autumn 2008), and then to the De Pont Foundation, Tilburg, and the Metropolitan Museum of Photography, Tokyo, in 2009.

Since 1996, Claerbout’s works have navigated between the still and the moving image, between photographic and digital techniques. Inspired both by phenomenology and by Gilles Deleuze’s writings on The Time-Image and The Movement-Image (1983), he has developed a photography in movement, a "moving still" — into which, since 2004, he has introduced narrative elements.

The 300-square-metre exhibition space is shared by five projected works: The Stack, 2002, Bordeaux Piece, 2004, and the Shadow Piece of 2005,together with two new works, Sections of A Happy Moment and Long Goodbye, both 2007. Filmed in architectural settings representative of modern culture and the contemporary urban context, they explore the passage of time and the unfolding of space.

Bordeaux Piece — acquired by the Centre Pompidou for the collection of the Musée National d’Art Moderne — thus makes use of a magnificent villa on the outskirts of Bordeaux as a tool for a conceptual approach to space-time, a minutely introspective examination of time in a deconstructed space.

Visitors are invited to take their time in moving through the specially designed exhibition space, its half-light permitting a liberty forbidden in the cinema and allowing a dialogue to emerge between the works.

"In many of my works over the past ten years both time and space have developed into anchors of my videographic production. In a mode of production where photographic reality is increasingly preconceived, filmic duration seems to be the last man standing from an ‘analogue’ past.

Occupied with both the artificiality and flatness of anything on screen or print, I have often taken recourse to architectural photography as a way of defining space in what I would call the terrible flatness of film".

Curator: Christine Van Assche, head curator of the New Media department, Musée national d’art moderne
