After The Net

After The Net is a deliberately ambiguous title: implying that somehow the Net is over in terms of its utopian promises and also making a reference to the documentary film The Net by Lutz Dammbeck (2003). Like the film, the exhibition explores systems of technological control and presents works that draw attention to historical shifts of network power: from cybernetics to free and open source software, and in turn to social networking platforms.

Featuring: Caen Botto (Universomente), Wayne Clements, Geoff Cox (project.arnolfini), Lutz Dammbeck, Jeff Gompertz, Rui Guerra, Linda Hilfling, Chun Lee, Aymeric Mansoux, Marloes de Valk (GOTO10), José Antonio Orts. The exhibition also includes openKURATOR, an online platform developed by KURATOR for Observatori 2008, presenting a selection of works from an open call by: Burak Arikan, Bestiario, Carlos Katastrofsky, Abe Linkoln, Jimpunk, Mrtamale, Joseph Nechvatal, Cyril de Vroom & Jos Wabek.

Futurismo a Milano

"Milano, la città che sale, dove il Futurismo è nato e ha vissuto la sua prima, entusiasmante stagione, dedica al centenario di questa avanguardia rivoltosa e visionaria una mostra grandiosa che occupa, eccezionalmente, l’intero piano terreno di Palazzo Reale ed è l’evento centrale di un ricchissimo programma di iniziative promosso dal Comune di Milano, con manifestazioni di teatro, cinema, danza, moda, che faranno della città, per l’intero 2009, la capitale del Futurismo.

Circa cinquecento opere ricostruiscono l’intero percorso del movimento, e compongono un quadro articolato ed esaustivo di quella che è stata la principale avanguardia culturale italiana del Novecento, rileggendone l’intera estensione, dalle origini, che affondano nella cultura artistica di fine Ottocento, fino alla fine degli anni Trenta e oltre, con il lascito che il movimento seppe affidare alle generazioni future, attraverso alcuni dei protagonisti che dopo la metà del secolo al Futurismo guardarono o resero un esplicito omaggio.

In mostra vengono presentati circa 250 dipinti, disegni, sculture, oltre a esempi di paroliberismo, ai progetti e disegni d’architettura, alle scenografie e costumi teatrali, alle fotografie, ai libri-oggetto, fino agli oggetti dell’orizzonte quotidiano (arte decorativa, grafica, moda), tutti segnati dall’impronta innovatrice del Futurismo.

Unica tra le numerose manifestazioni espositive del centenario, questa mostra intende infatti documentare l’intero, vastissimo campo d’azione del Futurismo, ponendo l’accento sulla sua generosa e per certi versi utopistica volontà di ridisegnare l’intero ambito dell’esperienza umana in una chiave inedita, che resta la sua più vistosa e ineguagliata specificità.

Così come i futuristi volevano porre lo spettatore “al centro del quadro”, un allestimento fitto e incalzante pone il visitatore “al centro del Futurismo” in una mostra vitale, esuberante e polifonica come fu quella straordinaria e irripetibile avanguardia, che da Milano si irradiò nell’intera Italia e di qui in Europa, coinvolgendo una vera folla di artisti."

Bill Viola

Haunch of Venison Berlin will this winter present a series of works from the internationally renowned US artist Bill Viola, in his first solo exhibition in Berlin in six years.

The exhibition includes the large-scale video/sound installation 'The Messenger' (1996) originally commissioned for Durham Cathedral by the Chaplaincy to the Arts and Recreation, North East England. It depicts the continual rising and sinking of a male figure as he slowly journeys between a blue-black underwater realm and the bright daylight of the world above its surface.

New works will also be presented from the 'Transfigurations' series - a cyclical progression of images that describe a series of encounters at the intersection between life and death. The first in this series was the three channel installation 'Ocean Without a Shore' (2007) created for the 52nd Venice Biennale. In Berlin the works shown will be single and multiple channel pieces, with one piece, 'Small Saints' (2008), using six tiny OLED screens, a new technology with special luminance.

During the 59th Berlin International Film Festival, Berlinale, two early video films will be screened in the main space of the gallery as part of Forum expanded. 'Hatsu-Yume (First Dream)' (1981, 57 minutes) is structured on the cycle of one day, images gradually moving from light into darkness, presenting a visual journey through the landscape of Japan from the rural areas of the far North to the underworld nighttime scenes of the streets of modern Tokyo.

'The Passing' (1991, 54 minutes) is a personal response by the artist to the spiritual extremes of birth and death in his family. Black and white nocturnal imagery and underwater scenes depict a twilight environment hovering on the borders of human perception and consciousness.

For over 35 years, the work of Bill Viola has focused on universal human experiences. Viola is renowned for creating installations, videotapes and sound performances that present manifestations of the human form undergoing various states of transformation and renewal. His work has been instrumental in the establishment and development of video as a contemporary artistic practice, while his writings and lectures have disseminated his ideas to a wide international audience. Viola continues to break new ground, both technologically and aesthetically, and has inspired a generation of media artists and filmmakers.

An Eye for an Eye

An Eye for an Eye
Representations of Conflict in 20th Century Ireland

Curated by Professor Dermot Keogh and Ruth Osborne

14 November 2008 – 1 March 2009

Artists: Robert Ballagh, Rita Duffy, T.P. Flanagan, Paul Graham, Paul Henry, Seán Keating, Sir John Lavery, F.E. McWilliam, Sir William Orpen, Michael Power-O’Malley, Dermot Seymour, Victor Sloan, and Jack B.Yeats, alongside archive materials from Gael Linn,the Imperial War Museum, the Linen Hall Library, the National Library of Ireland and UTV.

Curated by Professor Dermot Keogh and Ruth Osborne, An Eye for an Eye: Representations of Conflict in 20th Century Ireland employs art as an historical source to explore and reflect upon moments of conflict from throughout the twentieth century in Ireland. The title is evocative of how conflict has continually been played out in Irish history and the exhibition seeks to challenge the viewer by inviting them to reconsider moments of conflict beyond the binary of right verses wrong.
