SPACE IN FLUX

10th ANNIVERSARY
DEUTSCHE BANK & SOLOMON R. GUGGENHEIM FOUNDATION
November 3 - 9, 2007
http://www.deutsche-guggenheim.de

Be invited to celebrate with Deutsche Guggenheim the unique partnership between Deutsche Bank and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation from November 3rd to 9th. In the past ten years, the institution with its adaptable 350-square-meter gallery space has attracted nearly 1.5 million visitors with forty high-quality exhibitions of 20th- and 21st-century art. Inaugurating the jubilee week Deutsche Guggenheim organizes the panel discussion

ART SPACES FOR TOMORROW
November 3, 4 p.m.

Nowadays, art is leaving its traditional protective housing and has begun permeating all spheres of social life. It serves increasingly less as the cultural heritage of a bourgeois elite and is instead conquering more and more social classes as a lifestyle element. There is no doubt that art has democratized itself, yet at the same time it is more out of reach than ever for many due to the astronomical prices. Contemporary art, in particular, offers glamour one can partake in, while in the art business the audience follows the bizarre spectacle of hardly comprehensible, record-breaking prices. Exhibitions have become events targeting a mass audience with an enormous marketing effort. But what role does the museum play today? What kind of spaces does art require? How can public and private interests be combined in a sensible way?

Deutsche Guggenheim, as a joint venture of Deutsche Bank and the Guggenheim Foundation, is looking forward to contributing its own experiences to the international debate on art spaces with this
panel discussion.

Panel: Walter Grasskamp (Art Critic), Max Hollein (Schirn Kunsthalle & Städelsches Kunstinstitut), Thomas Krens (Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation), Ernst W. Veen (Hermitage Amsterdam)

Since he first began making films in the regular 8mm format during the 1960s, Ernie Gehr has developed into one of the most singular artists in the cinematic avant-garde. Considered ‘a filmmaker’s filmmaker’ by peers and critics such as J. Hoberman and P. Adams Sitney, Gehr produces lucid, rigorous, radiant films and digital media works that address the fundamental qualities of film as film, and the anxieties of cinematic representation. Gehr is recognized as one of the great cinema poets of the city, and has consistently sought dynamic new relationships between space and perception through his examination of the urban field. This series of five programmes includes work ranging from his 1970 shock corridor masterpiece, Serene Velocity, to dynamic city films such as Side/Walk/Shuttle (1991), and his most recent work in digital video. Don’t miss this long overdue London survey of Gehr’s transformative films.

About us
As the first and only artist-led gallery and studio complex in South-West London, Studio Voltaire offers a unique service for local audiences, schools/community groups and artists that was not previously available. Through our Exhibition, Education and Studio Programmes, we aim to create access and participation in contemporary art practice and support artists’ projects, particularly those that may not be possible within conventional institutional frameworks.

Projects and commissions include TONIGHT curated by Paul O’Neill with newly commissioned works by Liam Gillick and Kathrin Böhm (2004); a major national touring project by Chris Evans (2006-07) and Possibility Nansen by Thea Djordjadze (2007). Our forthcoming programme includes solo projects by Thomas Ravens, Maria Pask and Cathy Wilkes, as well as an offsite project at White Columns, New York. We have gained a track record for supporting artists at a pivotal stage in their careers. Recent examples include Joanne Tatham & Tom O’Sullivan (Scottish Pavilion, Venice Biennial, 2005), Ruth Ewan (Winner - East International, 2006) and Spartacus Chetwynd (Migros Museum, 2007).

Alongside the Exhibition Programme, Studio Voltaire’s Education Programme offers multi-layered, innovative projects and activities for individuals and communities in the local area who have had little or no access to formal education, or may not be regular Gallery visitors.
