Of three friendly warnings, this is the third one

"Jelena Vasiljev
Of three friendly warnings, this is the third one

The perception of emotional ties and the notion of time and space, mediated by new technologies, are interiorized, analyzed and amplified by the difficulty of achieving true participation on the part of other people, even when technology guarantees a stable, global connection.

Seeing the Light

Tanya Bonakdar Gallery is very pleased to present Seeing the Light, a group show of gallery artists taking the subject of light as its primary formal theme. Each work selected for the show, which includes sculpture, light boxes, projection, and photography, exploits light as an essential element. As an additional formal and conceptual framework for the exhibition, the show will be primarily self-illuminating, insofar as very limited gallery house lighting will be used for the duration of the exhibition. Rather, the lighting elements of each work will produce an environment of ambient light that will alter the overall experience of the visitor, while simultaneously amplifying the effect of each autonomous work.

Fernando Ortega

Lisson Gallery is pleased to announce the second UK solo show of Mexican artist Fernando Ortega. The exhibition will present a new body of work articulating Ortega’s delicate experimentation in the translation of sound into visual registers. The artist reactivates traditional performances and dormant instruments while generating resonances between visual and sonorous occurrences.

In the making of his work, Ortega seems to share Sol LeWitt’s conviction that ‘irrational thoughts should be followed absolutely and logically’. Ortega’s practice sees the artist thoroughly pursue an idea that can at first appear unachievable due to practical impediments. His works rely on fortuitous and apparently inconsequential circumstances; ephemeral situations capable of bridging intellectual pursuits with powerful sensorial experiences.

Warren Neidich

"What are the possibilities for an exchange between the cognitive and the visual domain? "

Warren Neidich, solo at Onomatopee

To visualise a brainstorm through diagrams is a proven strategy to generate innovative thinking. It is able to catalyse the production of new knowledge systems, previously unavailable to thought. Like the well known French philosopher Gilles Deleuze states in his book, Francis Bacon, the logic of Sensation, “The diagram is indeed a chaos, a catastrophe but it is also a germ of order or rhythm. It is a violent chaos in relation to the figurative givens, but it is a germ of rhythm in relation to the new order of the painting.
As Bacon says, it “unlocks areas of sensation.” Then what of the Mindmap. Does it unlock new forms and conditions for thought and the imagination. Is the mind map a kind of auto representation of the thought itself an intantiation of thoughts made into “thingness” . Thoughts interfacing with each other along distributed epistemic networks are for Neidich poetic couplings between brain, mind, and world.
Within the gallery space of ‘production label’ Onomatopee, Warren Neidich will give rise to the landscape of a brainstorm. He will produce a totally projected assemblage of a drawing history the end point which manifested itself as a stage set in his studio at the IASPIS residency program creating a contained dynamic zone in between the visual and analytic whatever that style of analysis might be, where he made the performance “Some cursory comments on the nature of my wall drawing”, 2008.

Status Workshop Science and Art

"Cooperation at a Crossroads?
For Opportunities and Risks, Ask Your Artist or Scientist.

Experts meet for a status workshop in Berlin on December 8-9, 2008.

Art and science have always been interconnected by a history of uneasy yet productive relations. Since 2005, the “Forum on Science and Art” of the Ernst Schering Foundation has focused on the contemporary development of this interrelationship. After three years of interdisciplinary study and work, a status workshop now is to take stock of the current situation. At the invitation of the Ernst Schering Foundation, thirty scientists, curators, artists and art historians with a background in cultural studies will meet in Berlin on December 8-9 to take up the challenges of an increased cooperation between science and art."

The speakers are:

Frank Rösl, Head of the Division of Viral Transformation Mechanisms, German Cancer Research Center, Heidelberg
“Creativity, Art and Basic Research: Innovation through Synthesis?“

Christa Sommerer, Artist and Head of the Interface Culture Program, University of Art and Industrial Design, Linz
“The Art and Science of Interaction”

Susanne Witzgall, Curator and Research Associate, Department of Art History, Academy of Fine Arts, Munich

DoDai

The project is conceived as an exhibition with a web portal that enables interactive cooperation of the audience by enabling them to evaluate the content and meaning of an artwork. The works by various artists selected by the authors of the project can be viewed on the web page (web catalogue) and seen live at Škuc Gallery. The viewers are invited to add their own interpretation of the content and/or meaning, critique a suggestion, a proposal or any kind of idea related to the individual works via the web page and thus have the opportunity of eventually possessing the work itself. After reviewing all the comments written about their work, every artist presented at the exhibition will select the person who, in their opinion, really deserves to own the artwork. There is, of course, the possibility that the artist rejects all the interpretations if they do not achieve the desired effect.

Participating artists: Beatrice Crastini, BridA / Sendi Mango, Tom Kerševan, Jurij Pavlica, Cesare Pietroiusti, Dafne Boggeri, Dušan Kirbiš, Elena Bajo, Emilio Fantin, Giancarlo Norese, Giorgio Valvassori, Luigi Negro, Marcella Vanzo, Miha Štrukelj, Morwenna Catt/ Duncan Burnett , Sally Noall, Slobodan Peladić, Therese Sunngren, Vuk Ćosić, Warren Neidich.
