The Promised Land

"The Promised Land presents a cycle of projections and video installations by several prominent artists. The feature installations will rotate and each one will be on display for one week. Additionally, in conjunction with the feature installations, a video program conceived especially for the occasion will run throughout the duration of the exhibition. Participating artists will also hold talks at Chelsea Art Museum to introduce their work and explain their artistic practices to the public.

The Promised Land highlights the ironic consequences of globalization. It is conceived around a central question: Has globalization advanced or hindered society? Conventional wisdom holds that globalization is synonymous with progress and produces tangible benefits. The artists in this exhibition explore whether those perceived benefits are real or imagined. By examining the cultural, sociological, and political problems that have arisen as the byproducts of an increasingly globalizes world, The Promised Land juxtaposes the ideals of co-existence, acceptance, and cultural diversity with the reality of prejudice, alienation, censorship, and nationalism."

Piero Gilardi

Dal 26 maggio al 10 luglio 2008
PIERO GILARDI

Protagonista del primo evento sarà Piero Gilardi, artista torinese pioniere in Italia fin dagli anni Sessanta delle esperienze di arte tecnologica, multimediale e interattiva, celebre per i famosi Tappeti natura in coloratissimo poliuretano espanso, che lo portano alla ribalta della scena artistica internazionale. Nati a metà degli anni Sessanta come ludiche sculture da pavimento, i Tappeti natura di Gilardi hanno segnato il passaggio dalla Pop Art all’Arte Povera.
Ricostruendo fedelmente con materiali sintetici frammenti di ambienti naturali, l’artista mette a fuoco una situazione paradossale, dove la raffigurazione del dato di natura passa attraverso l'artificialità dei materiali e delle tecniche, avanzando una riflessione sul predominio del dato artificiale e virtuale sul reale. In queste installazioni, prati, giardini, sottoboschi, spiagge, greti di fiume sono restituiti a una fruizione-contemplazione coerente con l’immaginario tecnologico del mondo contemporaneo.

Per l’occasione saranno presenti in galleria i lavori storici e le opere più recenti dell’artista piemontese. In esclusiva per Atlantica sarà inoltre presentata l’installazione Boschi Nordici, formata da quindici tronchi di betulle e larici con effetti sonori. Boschi Nordici è l’ultima di una serie di grandi installazioni tra cui foresta di bambù, campo di papaveri, greto di fiume, vitigno danzante.

Il progetto Boschi Nordici si inscrive nel filone delle grandi installazioni ambientali e interattive che Piero Gilardi ha realizzato dagli anni Sessanta fino a oggi, in collaborazione con celebri architetti quali Marcel Breuer, Ettore Sottsass, Gae Aulenti. L’opera si articola in due scenari: a sinistra una pineta di larici innevati, a destra un bosco di betulle ornato da un vivace sottobosco con muschi, funghi, fragole, lamponi. L’osservatore è chiamato a interagire direttamente con la struttura, attivando, mediante un pedal control posto a terra, una musica di ambiente associata ai due diversi scenari proposti, diventando chiaramente parte attiva e necessaria dell’opera.

Piero Gilardi nasce a Torino nel 1942, dove vive e lavora. Nel 1963 inaugura la sua prima mostra personale intitolata Macchine per il futuro. Due anni più tardi, realizza le prime opere in poliuretano espanso ed espone a Parigi, Bruxelles, Colonia, Amburgo, Amsterdam e New York. Dal 1968 partecipa attivamente all’elaborazione tecnica delle nuove tendenze artistiche della fine degli anni Sessanta: Arte Povera, Land Art, Antiform Art. Collabora alla realizzazione delle due prime rassegne internazionali delle nuove tendenze allo Stedelijk Museum di Amsterdam e alla Kunsthalle di Berna. Nel 1969 comincia una lunga esperienza transculturale diretta all’analisi teorica e alla pratica della congiunzione “arte vita”. Come militante politico e animatore della cultura giovanile conduce svariate esperienze di creatività collettiva nelle periferie urbane e “mondiali”: Nicaragua, Riserve Indiane negli USA e Africa. Nel 1981 riprende l’attività nel mondo artistico, esponendo in gallerie le installazioni accompagnate da workshop creativi con il pubblico. A partire dal 1985 inizia una ricerca artistica con le nuove tecnologie attraverso l’elaborazione del Progetto IXIANA, che, presentato al Parc de la Villette di Parigi, prefigura un parco tecnologico nel quale il grande pubblico poteva sperimentare in senso artistico le tecnologie digitali. Nel corso degli ultimi anni ha sviluppato una serie di installazioni interattive multimediali con una intensa attività internazionale. Insieme a Claude Faure e Piotr Kowalski, ha costituito l’Associazione Internazionale Ars Technica. In qualità di responsabile della sezione italiana di questa associazione, promuove a Torino le mostre internazionali Arslab. Metodi ed Emozioni (1992), Arslab. I sensi del virtuale (1995), Arslab. I labirinti del corpo in gioco (1999) e numerosi convegni di studio sull’arte dei nuovi media. Dal 2002, Gilardi è impegnato nella realizzazione del PAV, il Parco d’Arte Vivente, un progetto da lui interamente ideato per la città di Torino, nel quale si compendiano tutte le sue esperienze relative al mutamento della natura dell’arte in senso relazionale. Gilardi è anche scrittore, ed ha pubblicato due libri di riflessione teorica sulle varie ricerche che ha compiuto: Dall’arte alla vita, dalla vita all’arte (Milano, La salamandra, 1981), e Not for sale (Milano, Mazzotta, 2000; Dijon, Les Presses du réel, 2003). Scrive articoli per riviste d’arte, tra cui “Juliet” e “Flash Art”.

Digital Art in the Post-Digital Age

Digital Art in the Post-Digital Age: Works from Florida Faculty
May 24 - September 7, 2008
Dorothy Jenkins Gallery

Nicholas Negroponte, founder of MIT’s Media Lab, declared in 1998 that “the digital revolution is over.” By his account, for the last ten years we have been living and working in the Post-Digital Age. During this time the use of the computer in the design and construction of art has advanced remarkably.

As a way of sampling the various ways in which digital technologies are assisting artists, Polk Museum of Art created a juried competition open to all art instructors and professors at the colleges and universities throughout the state of Florida. This exhibition includes 66 works by 28 different professors representing 15 colleges and universities, ranging from Miami to Tallahassee and almost everywhere in between.

Just as we have come to rely in so many ways on computers to help us through both our work and private lives, this exhibition has revealed that computers are being used in manners both predictable and surprising. It is no surprise that the exhibition includes digital video and photography work. More surprising is that artists who are painters, printmakers and ceramicists are making use of computer software to assist them in their work. In addition, though the largest universities in the state are represented in the exhibition, professors at a number of smaller universities and community colleges are doing outstanding work.

Wasserlust und Wassers Not

Wasserlust und Wassers Not
ifa-Galerie Berlin, 16. Mai bis 20. Juli 2008

Farblos, geruchlos, ohne Eigengeschmack, immer flüchtig – und doch ist Wasser der Ursprung allen Lebens, Metapher für das nicht Fassbare, für Gefühle und Sehnsüchte, und somit Motiv in der Kunst. Wasser ist aber auch eines der zentralen Themen des 21. Jahrhunderts: Naturgewalt, Ware vielmehr als Mythos, Waffe eher denn Menschenrecht – ein Grund für das Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen, zu der Ausstellung "Wasserlust und Wassers Not" sieben Künstler einzuladen, die sich mit Wasser als
Natur- und Rohstoff, als Lebens-elixir, aber auch brisantes Politikum vor allem in Afrika und im Nahen Osten auseinandersetzen.

In ihren Fotografien, Video-Arbeiten und Installationen thematisieren und visualisieren Taysir Batniji, Erdal Buldun, Bright Ugochukwu Eke, Lutz & Guggisberg, Mohamed Romène, Sérgio Santimano und Benjamin Wild ganz verschiedene Aspekte des Verhältnisses zwischen Mensch und Wasser. Sie formulieren Kritik am rücksichtslosen Umgang des Menschen mit dem kost-baren Nass – und springen doch mit aller Lust ins kalte Wasser; sie geben Denkanstöße, vor allem ermöglichen sie aber sinnliche, zuweilen auch sinnbildliche Erfahrungen rund um das uns zwischen den Fingern zerfließende Element.

Globale Zusammenhänge stellt Benjamin Wild (*1981, Köln) zur Diskussion: In seiner Buch- und Computerinstallation stellt er Wasser und Land auf den Kopf und die Besucher vor die Frage "Was wäre wenn..." Meere zu Kontinenten und Landmassen zu Wasser würden? Lutz & Guggisberg (*1968 und 1966, Zürich) verbinden auf spielerische, wundersame und höchst subversive Weise Natur und Kultur: In ihrer Videoinstallation "Einmal, da hörte ich ihn, da wusch er die Welt" werden die Untiefen im Verhältnis zwischen Mensch, Technik und Natur ausgelotet und gründlich unterspült.

Nicht nur mit globalen Fragen, sondern auch mit lokalen oder regionalen "Wasser-Problemen" setzen Künstler sich angesichts des "Wassers und der Menschen Not" auseinander: So fokussiert Bright Ugochukwu Eke (*1976, Enugu), der bereits 2007 bei der 8. Sharjah Biennale Aufmerksamkeit erregte, in seiner Installation "Shields" (Schilde, Schirme) das Phänomen des sauren Regens in Nigeria. Taysir Batniji (*1966, Palästina und Paris) hingegen entwickelt für die Ausstellung eine Arbeit, die auf leise, sehr poetische Art und Weise von Wasser nicht nur als Material und Bedeutungsträger handelt, sondern auch den politischen Aspekt von Wasser als Ware und Waffe anklingen lässt: Der Künstler schreibt die 109 arabischen Bezeichnungen für Wasser mit Wasser, das verdunstet, eintrocknet, sich verflüchtigt – und in zu vielen Regionen gerade im Nahen Osten zur Mangelware und zum Ausgangspunkt für Kriege wird.

Und doch, bei aller Not: Es ist auch eine Lust mit dem Wasser! Sérgio Santimano (*1956, Uppsala und Maputo) gibt uns in seinen Fotografien einen Einblick in das Leben in Moçam-bique mit viel, manchmal zu viel, zuweilen aber auch mit viel zu wenig Wasser. Mohamed Romène (*1967, Hammamet) zeichnet in seiner Fotoserie das Porträt eines Hamams in Tune-sien sowie seiner Besucher; das öffentliche Bad, Raum und Ritual, ist in der arabischen Welt ebenso wie in Europa vom Aussterben bedroht. Erdal Buldun (*1964, München) setzt seine aus seiner Kindheit in Izmir an der türkischen Mittelmeerküste herrührende, vielen Menschen eigene Sehnsucht nach einem Leben am Meer ins Bild: Wasser als Quelle des Glücks. Die drei Fotografen zeigen in ihren Fotoserien das köstliche Nass, das wir trinken, mit dem wir uns waschen, in das wir eintauchen, in dem wir fischen, an dem wir träumen.

Zur Ausstellung erscheint ein Katalog mit 64 Seiten und zahlreichen Farbabbildungen, Texten von Malu Halasa, Iris Lenz, Peter Weber, Mia Couto u.a. zum Preis von 14 Euro.

Natur und Umwelt ist Schwerpunkt der Ausstellungsreihe "Schauplatz Natur" im Programm der ifa-Galerien 2008/2009; im August 2008 folgt die Ausstellung "Tanz auf dem Vulkan".

TOTAL ENLIGHTENMENT

TOTAL ENLIGHTENMENT
Moscow Conceptual Art 1960-1990

The exhibition offers a comprehensive survey of conceptual art in late and post-Soviet Russia for the first time which is still only little known in the West. Moscow Conceptualism already emerged in the Soviet underground in the late 1960s, its performances, installations, and texts reflecting the existential experience of being part of a political concept. Since the world of art was subject to strict ideological censorship in the Soviet Union, the Moscow Conceptualists’ activities turned political and critical because they claimed the privilege of interpretation reserved to the Communist Party alone. Presenting artists like Erik Bulatov, Ilya Kabakov, Komar/Melamid, Alexander Kosolapov, Igor Makarevich/Jelena Jelagina, Andrej Monastyrskij, Boris Mikhailov, Dmitri Prigov, Leonid Sokov, and Vadim Zakharov, the exhibition connects with the Schirn’s show “Dream Factory Communism” dedicated to the world of Soviet art under Stalin’s regime.

Oscar Oiwa : The Dreams of Sleeping World

Oscar Oiwa : The Dreams of Sleeping World

While moving his base of operations from his native Sao Paulo to Tokyo and then New York, Oscar Oiwa (1965-) has created works exploring all aspects of his urban surroundings. Oiwa interprets the world around him with agile brushwork and singular imaginative powers, in pictures that overwhelm the viewer with the rich appeal of the painting as a medium. Displayed will be some 80 works from his throughout his career, from his São Paulo days until the present.

Lebanon Now New Media Art Exhibition

"The Association of Lebanese Artists presents « Lebanon Now », the art exhibition of the new media. Sponsored by USAID, this exhibition shows works done with the latest technological means. These works question Lebanon today, which is more disconcerting and intriguing than ever. The artists experiment with the binary code and look at Information and Communication Technology from a new perspective. There is no doubt that the sociocultural and the sociopolitical are featured. The artists « tell » their Lebanon through the elements of their numerical world, i.e. images, sound, and words. This event transposes the observer (turned into user) into a new esthetic experiment. It is the long-awaited occasion both by the artists and an art (and technology)-loving public to experience together a form of contemporary art involving not only the observer but also an important team of scientists and computer engineers without whom the new media art would simply be disembodied."
