Flash Art International # 261

July – September Issue

CELEBRATE WITH US 41 YEARS OF FLASH ART!

For over forty years Flash Art has been at the forefront of reporting and interpreting emerging directions in art, from today’s art criticism to the art market. It was back in 1967 that Flash Art was conceived, and now, to mark those days and those expectations, a special anniversary issue comes out, with a selection of the articles that contributed most to the renewal of the international art scene.

Flash Art International’s Special 41st Anniversary issue will include seminal texts on the ’70s scenes art history: Arte Povera by Germano Celant, Charles Dreyfus’s history of Fluxus and Douglas Crimp on the “Pictures” generation. Also reprinted are the interview by Helena Kontova with Marina Abramovic and Ulay, and Jeffrey Deitch’s first text on the art market as Flash Art’s US editor at that time.

The spirit of the ’80s lives on in Peter Nagy’s panel conversation with Jeff Koons, Sherrie Levine, Philip Taaffe, Ashley Bickerton, Haim Steinbach and Peter Halley and through the interviews by Giancarlo Politi with art masters such as Peter Halley, Jeff Koons and Joseph Beuys, furthermore, in Robert Pincus-Witten’s text on David Salle and in Paul Taylor’s interview with Hans Haacke.

Francesco Bonami features with an early text on Matthew Barney and an interview with Rem Koolhaas. Damien Hirst’s first interview for Flash Art and a lively conversation between Larry Clark and Mike Kelley are other gems that have been included.

Interviews with Francesco Vezzoli and Vanessa Beecroft by Helena Kontova and Massimiliano Gioni start the art-star parade, followed by Maurizio Cattelan’s interview with Piotr Uklanski and THE interview with Maurizio Cattelan by Giancarlo Politi and the readers of Flash Art.

Andrea Bellini’s meeting with Wilhelm Sasnal is reprinted in this issue, as well as Gea Politi’s interview with Kutlug Ataman & Atom Egoyan.

Finally, Hans Ulrich Obrist is in a conversation with Deimantas Narkevicius and a text on “Political Minimalism” by Klaus Biesenbach deal with political and social matters of the ’90s.

Amongst the artists’ special projects and contributions which have featured over the years, are those of Lawrence Weiner, Bruce Nauman and Robert Morris, republished here in all their glory. Included are a later text by Cecily Brown on painting from 1998 and Maurizio Cattelan’s ongoing interview-project with outstanding artists, which started in 2002.

Further, to celebrate this special occasion, Giancarlo Politi and Helena Kontova have invited those gallerists who have also achieved a similar historical milestone to participate in this issue’s new Survey, sharing ‘art experiences’ from the ’60s ’til today.

New Group show reviews include: “Selective Knowledge” at Cultural Foundation of the National Bank of Greece (MIET), Athens and “Locked In” at Casino, Luxemburg.

Solo show reviews include: John Baldessari/Matt Mullican; Gedi Sibony; Nate Lowman/Dan Colen; Piotr Uklanski; Catherine Opie; Joan Jonas; Ryan Gander; Steve Van Den Bosch; Isa Genzken; Claude Closky; Paul Sietsema; Angela Ferreira; Guillaume Leblon; Dmitry Gutov; Dave Allen; Matti Braun; Lucy and Jorge Orta; Michael Beutler; Vincenzo Agnetti; Jorge Méndez Blake; Kamin Lertchaiprasert; Sangnam Lee.

Flash reviews include: Mel Bochner; Tyson Reeder/Scott Reeder; David Claerbout; Peter Coffin; Rachel Feinstein; Troy Brauntuch; David Burrows; Lucy Skaer; Martin Maloney; Sarah Morris; Tom Chamberlain; Daniel Pitin; Peter Halley/Alessandro Mendini; Marc Camille Chaimowicz; Koo Jeong-A; Zhao Liang.

A 240-page volume, available in a collector’s hardback edition, will soon hit the shelves of all good bookstores — an up-do-date manual that chronicles the history of the art of our days.

The COVER for this issue presents a collection of the best covers of the last 41 years.

Literaturhaus Frankfurt

Boxer
11 July - 3 August 2008

Curator: Juliane von Herz

Literaturhaus Frankfurt
Schöne Aussicht 2
D-60311 Frankfurt am Main

http://www.literaturhaus-frankfurt.de

The Literaturhaus Frankfurt in cooperation with the independent curator Juliane von Herz are pleased to announce the opening of the group exhibition BOXER.

28 international contemporary artists, all of which were former or are currently students of Frankfurt’s renowned art academy Städelschule have been invited to work at the interface of art and literature at a very special place steeped in history:

Formerly public library of Frankfurt, the neo-classical 19th century building has been destroyed in the 2nd world war and its portico was the only part to survive. In 1987 a container called PORTIKUS was installed behind the historical columns and served for many years as an exhibition space for young emerging international art. The PORTIKUS, which is linked to the academy Städelschule, soon gained an enormous reputation worldwide but nevertheless in 2003 had to move to a new location on an island on the River Main. This container gave way to the reconstructed public library that reopened in 2005 as the new home of the Frankfurter Literaturhaus.

The carefully chosen group of young artists refers in a way to the former tradition and once again brings back visual art to a space now dedicated to literature. Their works, most of them particularly created for the house as site specific projects, explore all kind of possible media (e.g. photography, installation, sculpture, painting) mostly to reflect the architectural and historical situation of the building. But the approach is manifold: some of them simply considering the building as just another exhibition space or referring to subjects of literature that have had an impact on their œuvre.

The overall motivation for Juliane von Herz for setting up the show Boxer is obvious: Frankfurt today is more than ever an important center for young contemporary art, due to the preeminent standard of education that the Städelschule provides for her students.

Artists in the Exhibition:
Anne Line Billinger / Shannon Bool / Sunah Choi / Andreas Diefenbach / Jana Euler / Manuel Gnam / Thilo Heinzmann / Lena Henke / Simone Junker / Sergej Jensen / Stefan Kern / Marion Kober / Dennis Loesch / Stefan Müller / Martin Neumaier / Stehn Raupach / Flo Maak / Oliver Voss / Thomas Judin / Michael Pfrommer / Peyman Rahimi / Anne Speier / Steffen Suckale / Jelena Trivic / Michael Moos / Adrian Williams / Andrei Koschmieder / Naneci Yurdagül

Silke Wagner
Exhibition: July 6–August 17, 2008
Opening: Saturday, July 5, 2008, 7pm, featuring music by Art Critics Orchestra

In 2008, a change in generations has taken place: since January of this year, Marius Babias has been n.b.k.’s new director. He chose Frankfurt artist Silke Wagner for his first exhibition, exploring n.b.k.’s structures for exhibitions and public outreach structures as well as its two collections—Artothek and Video Forum. Wagner has developed sculptural presentation displays and neon works that refer to the new social movements and link them to artistic questions. Selected video works from n.b.k.’s collection (Vito Acconci, Lynda Benglis, Hermine Freed, Valie Export, Bruce Nauman, Wolf Vostell, etc.) will be shown as part of the exhibition. Together with Silke Wagner, the presentation of Video-Forum (1,000 videos) and Artothek (4,000 works) have also been revamped. Access to the holdings has been simplified: for n.b.k., both collections are important instruments for promoting Berlin artists and show a commitment to the democratic conception of cultural education.

On Sunday, July 6, 2008 a podium discussion will be held to mark n.b.k.’s reopening. The subject: The Art Institution Without Condition. What instituent practices lead to new models of collaboration with artists and institutions? Participants are: Solvej Helweg Ovesen, Nina Möntmann, Katya Sander, Silke Wagner. The discussion will be led by Sophie Goltz.
In cooperation with berlinaut.dk.

To accompany the exhibition, Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König in Cologne is publishing a catalog. In the future, n.b.k. will be publishing together with Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König the n.b.k. book series Exhibitions, Discourse, and Berlin.

Monica Bonvicini
Interventions: July 6–August 17, 2008
Opening: Saturday, July 5, 2008, 7pm
Monica Bonvicini was invited to realize a project for the presentation of the n.b.k. team. With this intervention, she is combining institutional critique with questions of fashion.
