Music is a powerful stimulus for visual arts, as is art for many musicians. Explore the galleries of The Whitworth with the RNCM and experience how the two intertwine in Art of Sound : Sound of Art.
Artists working with paper and pen, film and video, ice and metal, earth and air, even trash, have been rubbing shoulders with cellists and harpists, pianists and percussionists, singers and string quartets, even a full orchestra, together
creating new installations that explore what links them and what excites them – new
experiences designed to feed both the eyes and the ears.

Mediatopia.2 fresh! assembles an exciting mix of recent net-based work by a diverse group of neoteric artists, creatives and thinkers. Their fresh, networked interfaces look to a variety of means to utilize the Internet, both as creative medium and as a channel to share and distribute their output. The Internet, with its network functionality and potential for user interaction, is their creative playground: a form to manipulate and a means of social or political expression. Lara Bank and Andrew Bucksbarg worked together to curate a program from recent work, submitted internationally, that uses the Internet as a playground, platform or paintbrush.

The 7th edition of Manifesta, the itinerant Biennale of contemporary art, will be hosted in 2008 by the Regione Autonoma Trentino-Alto Adige. At the same time, the Mart will present the Eurasia. Geographic cross-overs in art exhibition in the Rovereto site of the Museo di Arte Moderna e Contemporanea di Trento e Rovereto from 28th June to 16 November 2008.
The ambitious Eurasia exhibition arised from an idea by Achille Bonito Oliva, who will be the exhibition’s curator, flanked by an international team of young international curators comprising Lorenzo Benedetti, Iara Boubnova, Cecilia Casorati, Hu Fang, Christiane Rekade and Julia Trolp.
The exhibition will present a vision of art able to “pierce” every separate identity and indicate the possibilities of an art full of interchanges between Europe and Asia; in other words, “Eurasia”.
The title of the exhibition is borrowed from the name given by Beuys to a series of performances executed between 1966 and 1968, represented in the exhibition by the video of Eurasienstab, 1967, realised on 9th February 1968 at the Wide White Space in Antwerp.
According to Beuys, Eurasia is a geographic vision and, at the same time, an expression of a new, complex artistic identity that is no longer territorial and self-sufficient, but aimed at the world and man.
In 1967, with a Manifesto, the German artist founded the fictitious state of Eurasia. This was an open territory without physical or dogmatic borders: the geographic representation of a utopia, a fusion of Western realism and Oriental mysticism, the venue for a totality as yet not dispersed.
Total art, a new humanism and ethical responsibility are the key words for a project that appears surprising if reconsidered from its inception in the 1960s to the present day, from Beuys to the latest generation.
Some fundamental aspects of Beuys’ work – multiculturalism and the aspiration towards a total art, his stance regarding going beyond borders, and the “amplified concept of art” – find a timely echo in the work of artists of the young generation.
The exhibition, therefore, aims to stress the overcoming of a purely performative art in favour of a reflection making use of contents and themes of our time, a veritable emergence affirming the value of the co-existence of differences.
Achille Bonito Oliva’s reflection takes its stimulus from the idea that it be possible to consider Beuys’ work in a historical perspective, while re-reading and re-planning it.
The exhibition will trace an original path through the artistic landscape of Eurasia territory and identify viewpoints and projects reacting to the aestheticisation of everyday life and the abuse of reality, proposing a linguistic complexity summarising different expressions.
The awareness that the model of new humanism in Eurasia is effectively being re-used today by many young artists imparts to the exhibition not only the task of documenting their work, but also the ambitious programme of championing an art that finally pays a close attention to reality and translates it into small utopias, between a desire and ecological hope for an improved quality of life.
If it is true, as Achille Bonito Oliva maintains, that “the excess of Duchampian indifference and performative hedonism of the last generation may lead not so much to the Hegelian “death of art” as that of the public, then Eurasia. Geographic cross-overs in art sets itself the objective of recovering a greater attention to social themes, and of promoting the total art of the young of an ideal continent that runs seamlessly from Europe to Asia.

VIDEO KOOP
Opening: Fri, 2nd May 2008, 7 pm
VIDEO KOOP is an exhibition project in the KIT which came into being through an invitation to Julia Stoschek. Julia Stoschek, the initiator of the JUST scholarship and founder of the JULIA STOSCHEK COLLECTION, presents six artists in the VIDEO KOOP context, most of whom come from Düsseldorf and work chiefly with film, video, and installations.
Christiane Fochtmann, Andreas Bunte, Manuel Graf, Andreas Korte, Bianca Voss and Jan Wagner develop artistic positions that address the history of art and culture, everyday events and poetry in the media of film and music. The presentation of their works is in interesting contrast to the architecture of the KIT.
