Live Art on Camera
15 March – 19 April 2008

Opening evening: Friday 14 March 6-8.30pm
Artists and photographers in Live Art on Camera:
Marina Abramovic and Ulay, Dona Ann McAdams, Hans Breder, Stuart Brisley and Leslie Haslam, Hollis Frampton, Hugo Glendinning, Gutai Group, Lisa Kahane, Ute Klophaus, Jennifer Kotter, Kurt Kren, Antonio Lauer, Babette Mangolte, Rosemary Mayer, Fred W. McDarrah, Robert R. McElroy, Ana Mendieta, Peter Moore, Ohtsuji Kiyoji, Leda Papaconstantinou, Adrian Piper, Tony Ray-Jones, Carolee Schneeman (from the Schneemann archive photographs by Arman, Manfred Schroeder, Harvey Zucker, Al Giese, Massal, Cheney, Sally Dixon and Anthony McCall) and Manuel Vason.

Live Art on Camera reveals the work of photographers who documented seminal performance art events from the 1950s to the present in Europe, the United States and Japan. These events (often experienced live by only a small audience) are primarily received through still images: arguably subjective records, translated through the ideas and aesthetics of the photographer.
The exhibition contextualises performance photography within the photographers’ wider practices. Many are well known in very different contexts (from reportage to cinematography and architectural photography) as well as being acknowledged as artists in their own right.
Works featured include Japanese photographer Ohtsuji Kiyoji’s photographs of the 1950s Gutai group, shown alongside his surrealist photography, and writings. Peter Moore’s architectural photographs of Penn Station, documenting the station’s gradual destruction from 1962 to 1966, are seen in relation to examples from his extensive archive of USA performance photographs, including Allan Kaprow’s and Wolf Vostell’s Happenings. The relationship between the ‘photographed’, the camera and the viewer was addressed in early works by Babette Mangolte, such as her film The Camera: Je, 1977 and A Photo Installation, 1978. In a parallel practice Mangolte also extensively photographed performance works by Yvonne Rainer, Robert Whitman, Joan Jonas, Richard Foreman and Trisha Brown.
In the case of Carolee Schneemann’s work many different photographers documented single performances. The exhibition reveals the diverse photographic styles of these individuals, compared and contextualised in relation to their ongoing practices
The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue containing essays by Kathy O’Dell, Carrie Lambert-Beatty, Barbara Clausen, Alice Maude-Roxby and Babette Mangolte, and interviews with the photographers.
Live Art on Camera is a John Hansard Gallery exhibition curated by Alice Maude-Roxby.

‘Goodbye Vile Earth!’
Hollington & Kyprianou
South Hill Park, Ringmead, Bracknell, Berkshire, RG12 7PA

runs February 2nd to March 16th 2008
ARC gallery talk on Sunday 16 March 3pm

directions to SHP: www.southhillpark.org.uk/aboutUsTravel.jsp
artists website: www.electronicsunset.org

2008 marks the 100th anniversary of the first manned powered flight in Britain, made by former cowboy Samuel Cody over Farnborough Common. The Common became home to the now defunct Royal Aircraft Establishment, a top-secret military complex and what was one of the most important aeronautical research centres in the world.

Goodbye, Vile Earth! is the result of a residency at Farnborough Air Sciences Trust, set up by ex employees to maintain the RAE’s history.

Contained within the museum and several storage containers are thousands of artifacts, films, declassified reports and photographs- many of which will be shown in public here for the first time.

Hollington & Kyprianou use elements from the archive to create a time line of the working life and scientific projects of the RAE, combined with contemporary interviews exploring the pathology of archiving and its communication, in effect creating an archive of the archivists. A second timeline, a subjective history of modern art, will run alongside, allowing an appraisal of how discoveries and developments in both changed our perceptions of, and the actual physical and social structures of the world.

Amongst The RAE projects were the development of the Spitfire, the bouncing bomb, ejection seats, the jet engine and Concorde. The RAE was also home to the British space programme, which for a time in the 1960’s was one of the leaders in the field of rocket technology. Intrinsically entwined with this industrial history is a rich social and cultural one, including the mass mobilization of female workforces, shifting gender and class hierarchies, the secrecy and myths surrounding the site, and the question of ethics in relation to scientific industrial military research.

Goodbye Vile Earth! is a misquote of the Italian Futurist Filippo Marinetti, whose love of flight led him to see a future where humanity abandons terra forma for a life permanently in the skies. He actually wrote “Hoorah! No more contact with the vile earth!” in the Futurist manifesto, published in 1909, the year after Cody’s first flight on Farnborough Common.

Simon Hollington & Kypros Kyprianou’s previous collaborative projects have been shown nationally and internationally, including The ICA London and the 51st Venice Biennale.

Launch Event Saturday 2nd February 2-4pm.
Admission Free

Gallery open: Wednesday 7.30-9.30pm Thursday, Friday, Saturday 1-9.30pm Sunday 1-5pm

Marcel Broodthaers: ‘289 Coquilles d’Oeufs 1966’ Courtesy SMAK, Ghent. Copyright Broodthaers Estate

Marcel Broodthaers
26 January – 30 March 2008

Milton Keynes Gallery presents the most comprehensive exhibition in the UK by renowned Belgian artist Marcel Broodthaers (1924–1976) since his Tate Gallery retrospective nearly thirty years ago. Broodthaers was a poet, photographer, film-maker and artist and throughout his career challenged the role of the artwork, the artist and the art institution. Considered to be one of the most important artists of the last century, Broodthaers’ work and thinking is highly influential on many artists working today. This exhibition explores the diversity of Broodthaers’ practice including books, editions, objects, projections and paintings and features several works never seen in the UK before. His first ‘artwork’, Pense Bête,1964, addresses his enduring concerns about form and language and the construction of meaning. Also shown will be Miroir d’Epoque Regency,1973 from arguably the artist’s most significant passage of work Museum d’Art Moderne, Département d’Aigles.!
This
comprised twelve different ‘sections’ and was founded with the 19th century section in his Brussels house in 1968. The mirror reflects the gallery and viewer back on themselves, questioning the role of the institution and the visitor within it. The exhibition also includes examples of his renowned shell works – mussels and eggs – as in Grande Casserole de Moules, 1966 and 289 Coquilles d’Oeufs,1966. The egg and mussel shell become a recurrent symbol in Broodthaers’ work as a means of questioning the social function of the artwork.With characteristic wit and insight Broodthaers announced ‘Everything is eggs. The world is eggs’.

An illustrated exhibition catalogue with contributions by co-curators Barry Barker, Maria Gilissen and Michael Stanley will be available from the Gallery shop.

Exhibition supported by SMAK, Stedelijk Museum voor Actuele Kunst, Ghent; Eurostar; The Henry Moore Foundation and the Broodthaers Estate.

Pascale Marthine Tayou: ‘HUMAN BEING@WORK (2007– ongoing)’, Milton Keynes Gallery 2007. Copyright: Jerry Hardman-Jones

Pascale Marthine Tayou: ‘Plastik Diagnostik’
17 November 2007 – 13 January 2008

Through his installations, drawings, films and performances, Pascale Marthine Tayou (Cameroon, b. 1966) articulates the nomadic existence of his life, from birth in Cameroon to travelling throughout Europe and his ceaseless journeying as an artist working internationally and moving from country to country. For his first exhibition in the UK, Marthine Tayou will show a selection of work that questions cultural and national identity and the role of the individual. As a self described foreigner and traveller, his work is directly influenced by the drama that he witnesses on the streets of the countries he travels through, and is manifest in the personal artefacts and ephemera including train and airline ticket stubs, restaurant and shop receipts and labels or wrappings for socks, razors and batteries. His insistent reuse and recycling of these objects confirms the fluidity and borderlessness of space, culture and thought, and that one’s own biography is inextricably linked wi!
th
economics, migration and politics.

30,000 Years of Art

Hi there!

There’s a new art book coming out this month - 30,000 Years of Art

A follow-up to Phaidon’s phenomenally successful The Art Book, 30,000 Years of Art comprises 1,000 great works of art from all periods and regions in the world, offering an original and fresh way of looking at the whole of art history from 28,000 BC to the present day.

Only in this book can you find the Venus de Milo next to a mural from the Mayan civilization, Velasquez’s ‘Las Meninas’ next to a jade wine cup made for the Shah of India and Picasso’s ‘Demoiselles d’Avignon’ side by side with door panels from a Nigerian palace. By juxtaposing works of art from different cultures throughout time, this is the first book to offer a balanced appraisal of world art history, revealing the huge diversity, as well as the similarity of man’s artistic achievements.

Parasol unit

Two feet in one shoe: Armen Eloyan

1 June – 20 July, 2007
Preview 31 May, 6 – 8pm

Parasol unit foundation for contemporary art is pleased to present Two feet in one shoe: Armen Eloyan, the first solo exhibition of Eloyan’s paintings in a UK institution.

Armen Eloyan’s paintings adeptly play out an apocalyptic fantasy world of anxiety, brutality, sexuality and the grotesque with the contradictory light-heartedness of a cartoon. His theatrical scenes explore the fragility of life as well as the boundaries separating security from chaos, comedy from violence and pleasure from cruelty.

Crucially Eloyan’s strikingly gestural paintings use both humour and horror in a manner that engages him emotionally, mentally and physically. The brash, attractive, dark colours Eloyan employs collide and coexist whilst unsettling any sense of harmony in the work.

The instinctive approach Eloyan applies to his painting draws on his emotional bond to an array of collective and personal experiences. Significantly these are rooted in his early years in Yerevan, Armenia yet also claim reference to propaganda, art history, cinema, television and popular music. Clearly there is a narrative element in Eloyan’s work however this is disturbingly disrupted by a sense of desolation and anxiety.

Two feet in one shoe is an exhibition imbued with Eloyan’s verve, vigor and desire to celebrate the act of painting. His intuitive relationship to painting is infused with a need to delve beneath the layers of pure aesthetic and get to the crux with what is messy, foul and discordant.

Two feet in one shoe: Armen Eloyan is accompanied by a full-colour catalogue with essays by Ziba de Weck Ardalan and Philippe Pirotte.

Born in Yerevan, Armenia in 1966 Armen Eloyan now lives and works in Amsterdam and Zurich.

Earlier this year, Eloyan had a solo exhibition in the Project Room at Centre Culturel Suisse, Paris (FR). During 2006, he had a one person exhibition at Galerie Bob van Orsouw, Zurich (CH) and took part in a group show at Kunsthalle Bern (CH). In 2005, Eloyan participated in various exhibitions at l’Arte Contemporanea Luigi Pecci, Prato (I) and at Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten, Amsterdam (NL).

Opening hours: Tues–Sat, 10 am–6 pm. Sun 12–5 pm

Sheffield Contemporary Art Forum

AN ARTISTS’ BOOK AND DVD

Presenting work by Sheffield-based artists

Distributed at The Venice Biennale and Documenta XII, 2007

LAUNCH: Bar Margaret Duchamp, Campo Santa Margherita, Venice, Friday 8th June, from 8pm

http://www.artsheffield.org

The Sheffield Pavilion is a project designed to take advantage of the harmonic convergence of super exhibitions - The Venice Biennale, Documenta XII, Skulptur Projekte Münster 07 - in June 2007. This nexus of projects falling together (an event which only occurs once every 10 years) offers a unique opportunity to symbiotically present the work of Sheffield-based artists and promote the contemporary art activity taking place in Sheffield, UK in an international context.

The Sheffield Pavilion is a new format for a city’s involvement in events such as the Venice Biennale. A pavilion in book form is a structure curiously attentive to the roots of the word, in the Latin for butterfly, and in its subsequent usage to signify a tent or temporary structure used for leisure, entertainment or exhibition. The Sheffield Pavilion is similarly airborne and nomadic, a peripatetic exhibition in book form or a paper based architecture for art.

Artists: Farhad Ahrarnia, Maud Haya Baviera, Tim Etchells, Matthew Harrison, Meriel Herbert, Host Artists Group, Penny McCarthy, Sarah Staton, Neil Webb, Katy Woods

The selected artists have presented new projects designed specifically for the book form. Tim Etchells has worked on a text that bears the marks of his changes to it, as it mutates through several colour-coded versions, Penny McCarthy’s drawings include a facsimile of a letter from the NASA archive drafted should the crew of the first moon landing be lost in space, Matthew Harrison documents the production and progress of an unsolicited desk nameplate for Professor Colin Pillinger of the ill-fated UK Beagle 2 Mars probe, Farhad Ahrarnia presents a collage of extracts of articles and drawings by writer/journalist Maggie Lett for Tehran Journal in 1969, Neil Webb has produced a spectrographic and sound mapping of a microcosmic selection of Sheffield urban terrain, Maud Haya Baviera collects a series of illustrated short stories about a protagonist called Liberty, Katy Woods displaces and re-presents an intriguing collection of found images and text, Sarah Staton offers a photog
raph of a building in Sheffield whose collision of styles, age and function in one structure reflects the city as a whole, Meriel Herbert’s photographic imagery of a human gesture was made in direct response to the physicality of the book, and Host Artists Group presents a curated exploration of multiple artists’ responses to the notion of beauty.

The Sheffield Pavilion is designed by the city’s renowned The Designers Republic and the artists’ broader practice is represented on a DVD presented alongside it. The book is not intended as an audit of artistic practice in Sheffield, but the first of, hopefully, many different ways of presenting aspects of the Sheffield art scene to a wider audience. The aim is that the project will act as a portal to contemporary art in Sheffield, representing artists’ work, practice and methodology as a vital part of the city and making Sheffield–based artists more visible to an international network.

The Sheffield Pavilion will continue the city’s international visibility after Echo/City – an exhibition of works about Sheffield - was selected to represent Britain in last year’s Venice Architecture Biennale.

The book will be launched in Venice at Bar Margaret Duchamp, Campo Santa Margherita, Dorsoduro, from 8pm Friday 8th June (and will be available from the bar from 7-10 June) and will also be distributed in Kassel, concurrent with the Documenta 12 festival.

For further details or to receive a copy of the book by post email contact@artsheffield.org

The Sheffield Pavilion was selected and produced by Sheffield Contemporary Art Forum - a not-for-profit company working to further the presence and awareness of contemporary art in Sheffield through joint programming, audience development and profile raising activities. The forum also runs the ART SHEFFIELD festivals. The directors of the company are representatives of Bloc Studios, Sheffield Galleries & Museums Trust, Sheffield Hallam University, Site Gallery, S1 Projects, Yorkshire ArtSpace Society and independent artists and practitioners.

TATE ETC. Issue 10, featuring Henry II
Visiting and Revisiting Art, etcetera
http://www.tate.org.uk/tateetc

To celebrate our tenth issue, TATE ETC. magazine has collaborated with Franz West and The Wrong Gallery – Maurizio Cattalan, Massimiliano Gioni and Ali Subotnick, to produce an exclusive supplement, entitled Henry II. The oversized poster pays homage to some alternative images of Britishness in the Tate Collection, featuring some lesser-displayed works, such as Edward Burra’s ‘Skeleton Party’ and John Quinton Pringle’s ‘The Window’. It also presents Franz West’s antidote to the theme - ‘Greetings from Vienna’.

Issue 10 highlights include…

Salvador Dali and his lifelong obsession with film
Gilda Williams on Andy Warhol and his Mother
Oliver Sacks on Stereography, including an exclusive look at his first ever photograph, taken age 12. Collect your free 3D glasses from Tate shops.
John Miller on Piero Manzoni’s ‘Merda d’artista’
Marina Warner on Maya Deren
Caetano Veloso on Helio Oiticica
Beate Sontgen on Interiors
Jon Wozencroft on Joy Division’s Unknown Pleasures
Stephen Daniels on Peter Blake
David Campany on Photography
Roni Horn on Water

Salvador Dalí as film-maker? “The most decisive moment in the production of a film is when you need the force of will to convince your producers that if this film is not made, the world, as we know it, will come to an end.” Roy Disney on his Uncle Walt, Ian Christie, Jonas Mekas and others on Dalí’s lifelong obsession with film.

Marina Warner explores Maya Deren’s oeuvre and examines how she managed “the profound affinity between the material properties of film and inner states of mind”.

The Brazilian artist Hélio Oiticica is best known for his coloured boxes, architectural constructions and the wearable caps inspired by his time in Rio’s Mangueira favela. Tate Modern’s exhibition provides an opportunity to explore this mercurial artist during the crucial years when he transformed himself from the precocious Neo-Constructivist acolyte of the 1950s into the revolutionary barrier-smasher of the 1960s. Appreciations from Vincent Katz, Caetano Veloso, Ernesto Neto, Marepe and Catherine Yass.

“Warhol stumbled across ‘The Real America’ in the pantry of a woman who never adopted the American Way of Life.” Gilda Williams on Andy Warhol and his Mother.

To coincide with Tate Britain’s first ever photographic survey of Britain’s social history, TATE ETC. asked David Campany, Martin Parr, Anna Pavord and others to reflect on some memorable photographic images, such as the Goddesses series by Madame Yevonde.

“You realise how water never loses its identity, it is always discretely itself. Water is transparence derived from the presence of everything.” Roni Horn ruminates on how water is central to her work in conversation with Bice Curiger.

TATE ETC. is published three times a year.

The Showroom

The Showroom
Props, events, encounters: the performance of new sculpture

Keynote speakers: Joan Jonas, Andrea Phillips, Jan Verwoert
Artists: Matti Braun, Pablo Bronstein, Joanne Tatham and Tom O’Sullivan
Chair: Sally Tallant

Saturday 26 May 10.00 – 17.00hrs

Two-part conference at the Rochelle School, Arnold Circus, London E2 7ES

Props, events, encounters: the performance of new sculpture takes its cue from Mike Kelley’s description of the inherent structure at work in the objects that he uses in his performances. He ascribes to these objects a self-governing ordering system that is enacted as they appear in his work, a system that differentiates between objects that stay in the background, contextualising objects and those that will be active within the performance itself.

This one-day conference seeks to examine the emergence of forms in contemporary art in which objects are imbued with a theatrical status, but which avoid a return to Michael Fried’s famous distaste for theatricality in minimalist sculpture. Whilst previous generations of artists might be said to have sought a set of phenomenological relations, now artists form autonomous systems, enlivened in some capacity by the entry of a viewer. These objects attest to philosophies of emergence as well as affect, gift economies as well as forms of magical thinking, the existence of different, perhaps utopian or perhaps avowedly anti-social spaces and times. In these environments the viewer is no longer subservient to the object but is granted instead a personal autonomy. Some of these objects stand in for complex systems of rhetoric, others are simply props in a private theatre in which stories may or may not be revealed to the viewer. Many of these objects, left behind in the gallery, are
residues of past events, imbued with the melancholia of lost opportunities. Others are detritus, arranged not so simply.

Props, events, encounters… seeks to address the following questions:
• How are contemporary artists changing the status of the object in their work?
• How might these modifications be aided – and abetted – by the presence of the viewer?
• How do such shifts in attitudes towards objects reflect a changing politics in the status of contemporary ‘sculpture’?

To reserve your ticket please call the gallery as soon as possible on +44 (0)208 983 4115.

Props, events, encounters: the performance of new sculpture is generously supported by The Henry Moore Foundation and Outset.

http://www.tate.org.uk

UBS Openings: The Long Weekend returns with a four day celebration of film, music, performance and visual art.

Each evening features unmissable live performances and screenings in the iconic setting of the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern. The series opens with Ikue Mori’s live soundtracks to films by Maya Deren, followed on Saturday by the legendary Throbbing Gristle performing to rarely-screened super-8 films by Derek Jarman. Sleep is a unique chance to experience Andy Warhol’s first film accompanied by an all-night performance of the musical composition that inspired it: Satie’s 18-hour Vexations, performed by pianists including Gavin Bryars and Michael Nyman.

The weekend closes with Synthesis, audio-visual performances by Ryoichi Kurokawa, Toshimaru Nakamura & Billy Roisz, Sachiko M & Benedict Drew.

During the day, Tate Modern hosts major art commissions and installations by artists Marepe, Mathieu Briand and a performance of Hélio Oiticica’s Parangolés.

FRIDAY 25 MAY, 9PM
Maya Deren/Ikue Mori
Seven experimental films by legendary avant-garde filmmaker Maya Deren with specially commissioned soundtracks performed live by iconic New York musician Ikue Mori.

SATURDAY 26 MAY, 9PM
Derek Jarman/Throbbing Gristle Sold Out, Returns Only
Pioneering electronic sound artists and originators of the ‘Industrial’ music label, Throbbing Gristle, perform live in remembrance of visionary UK filmmaker Derek Jarman. The performance will feature a selection of Jarman’s magical, rarely-seen 1970s experimental Super 8 films.

SUNDAY 27 MAY, 7.30PM (TIL 2PM MONDAY)
Sleep: Warhol/Cage/Satie with performances by Gavin Bryars, Michael Nyman and John Giorno
Andy Warhol’s first film Sleep, is screened throughout the night accompanied by a re-creation of the 18-hour musical performance that inspired it, John Cage’s historic 1963 staging of Erik Satie’s epic repetitive work for piano, Vexations (1893). Introduced with a performance by Warhol’s lover John Giorno, who features in the film.

The event runs all night but ticket holders can drop in and out. Food & drink will be available throughout the night. Feel free to bring a sleeping bag.

MONDAY 28 MAY 9PM
Synthesis - Ryoichi Kurokawa/Toshimaru Nakamura and Billy Roisz/Sachiko M with Benedict Drew
Presenting live audio-visual performances from Japan, Austria and the UK, this programme highlights artists who are exploring the use of feedback, decay, assemblage and kinetics. While the avant-garde movements of the modern period idealized the machine, mechanical dysfunction is now often a focus of artistic interest. Central to the notion of synthesis, are artistic practices that make use of electronic, analogue and self-built instruments; tools, techniques and software for the real-time creation, improvisation and manipulation of both sound and image.

Daytimes

Friday and Saturday
Artist Mathieu Briand’s Spiral will transform the Turbine Hall into a gigantic sound installation. Briand and experimental DJs, MCs and sound artists from the UK: Sarah Washington and Xentos ‘Fray’ Bentos, SI-CUT.DB, Charlie Dark, The Bug in collaboration with Spaceape and Radio Active Man will re-mix music and sampled sound on open decks, etching their own vinyl plates to create a massive performance platform and experimental recording studio.

Sunday
With his new installation Veja meu Bem, Brazilian artist Marepe invites the audience to take a ride on a spectacular carousel transformed through the use of foil packaging and coloured light bulbs, inscribed with a poem evoking his native Brazil and surrounded by toffee apples.

15.00–17.00
Sleep: Warhol/Cage/Satie - Panel Discussion
This panel discussion examines the little-discussed relationship between the work of Andy Warhol, John Cage and Erik Satie. Featuring Gavin Bryars, art historian Branden W Joseph, Cage expert Professor David Nicholls, John Giorno and chaired by the art historian, Professor Pamela M Lee.

Monday
In the afternoon, visitors are invited to sign up for a workshop and take part in a one-off performance presenting Brazilian artist Hélio Oiticica’s Parangolés as a participatory dance event led by the London School of Samba on the north landscape of the museum, by the River Thames.

Resonance FM broadcasts live from Tate Modern’s Starr Auditorium, 11.30am to 6.00pm each day.
Resonance FM will broadcast live from Tate Modern’s Starr Auditorium, featuring in-depth interviews with Tate curators, artists, commentators and audiences. There will be episodes of music and poetry as well as specially commissioned Radio Art by Christof Migone and Sarah Washington; Brazilian language programmes in conjunction with the commission by Marepe and performance staging Hélio Oiticica’s Parangolés as well as a youth programme focused on Briand’s Spiral. Sunday’s panel discussion on Sleep: Warhol/Cage/Satie will also be accessible via the broadcast.
