NEVER ENDING STARS
di JO FABBRI
con la partecipazione di Camilla Zanon Curci
Inaugurazione giovedì 18 giugno, dalle 19 alle 21.
A circa un anno di distanza Jo Fabbri torna ad esporre i suoi lavori alla LittleItalyArtgallery, la galleria che per prima ha creduto nella forza della sua pittura e che dopo il successo della passata personale le ha rinnovato l’occasione.
Se nella scorsa edizione erano le stelle del cinema a brillare nelle stilizzate sagome pop della giovane artista, questa volta sono state scelte icone recenti e passate della musica jazz, r&b, soul e brit-pop, ad animare la nuova galleria di stars dipinte su tele.
“Ho scelto questi cantanti perché sono quelli che io non mi stancherò mai di ascoltare, quelli che se girando le stazioni della radio passa una loro canzone mi fermo a sentirla, anche se in quel momento ero alla ricerca di tutt’altro, quelli che se non so cosa ascoltare vanno sempre bene”, ha dichiarato Jo.
A ciò si affianca una nuova serie di ritratti: non volti, ma oggetti diventati status/symbol della modernità, capaci anch’essi di suscitare forti emozioni.
Il lavoro dell’artista è maturato, e ha trovato una direzione piu’ personale. Ha perso la marcata impronta warholiana, rinunciando al nero-stampa e al contorno netto; sperimentando il non finito e abbondando nel colore, sempre tenue e delicato.
Su tutto prevalgono i grigi chiari e le tinte neutre.

Resistance of the Object | Widerstand des Objekts
Körper, die Widerstand leisten. Bilder, die gängigen
Sichtweisen widersprechen. Dinge, die ein Eigenleben
entwickeln. „Widerstand des Objekts” ist das Thema von IN TRANSIT 09. Internationale Künstler erkunden in
Performances und Installationen, bei Tanz- und
Theaterproduktionen, was passiert, wenn das Objekt zum
Subjekt wird.

Wunderland is an entrance to a world where conceptions open and multiple possibilities arise; where understanding is sensually kaleidoscopic. A place without known definitions.
Wunderland creates experiences, performances and workshops. The performances are usually held in specific places and are interactive. They can be held indoors, in city streets, on the water, in tents, public spaces or in nature.
Some performances take the form of Performative Travels; an experience where the audience moves, one by one, or in very small groups, along a predetermined route.

With this exhibition of selected contemporary art positions, the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg explores how art can remain viable and relevant in the future – an issue of existential importance for a museum like ours with a contemporary art collection. Where do we go from here? As a museum that collects not just for the present day but also and above all for the future, how can we develop in the 21st century?
Sabine Hornig, School, 2004, Mehrteilige Installation"Seen in 2007 it was clear: the Anzengruber Biennial will be a one-off event. Although nothing untoward has happened since then: the Anzengruber is still the Anzengruber — while the same cannot be maintained of Venice, nor of Sao Paolo. And the initiative for the periodic pimping of the in-house video beamer is still based on a local interest in great names like Franck Ribery or Christiano Ronaldo, Charles Puyol or Lionel Messi. When they take a break, though, there may as well be screenings of art, defences of aesthetics or rebuffs of criticism. These are, after all, also team sports with various clubs involved, big money spearheads, regional league tables, international championships, magnificent stadiums and astonishing commentators on the players. In any case, the Anzengruber is world champion at being biennial-resistant. So a second one is totally worth risking. And when it's over the old hanging will return." (mm)

Touring swimming pools nationwide, Wet Sounds begins its 16 date UK tour with an Opening Event at The London Fields Lido on the 4th July. The audience will float and dive in the swimming pool immersed in sound art played from underwater speakers.
The theme for the 2009 gallery curated by Joel Cahen is Audio Cinema - narratives in sound.
Starting at 1pm. The 75min sound art gallery session will be followed by an Aquadelica DJ set by Spax playing a collage of music and narrative sound compositions.

The Closing Event on the 22nd July at Clissold Pool will feature live performances from some of the most prominent sound artists these days. They will play a live performance through an overwater sound system as well as an underwater one, effectively creating three distinct sound spaces each of which may be differently experienced by members of the audience, as they move above and below the surface of the pool.
