Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt: Peter Kogler. Projection

by e-flux shows :: rss on 30. Jul, 2010 in NEWS, e-flux

Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt
1 July – 12 September 2010

The Austrian multimedia artist Peter Kogler is one of the pioneers of computer-generated art. With his impressive 360-degree multi-projection on show at the Schirn from July 1 to September 12, 2010, the artist, whose work was included in two documenta programs, creates a space of illusion that completely captivates the observer. Lines of a uniform grid lose their fixed coordinates and stretch into a play of amorphous figures. All the projected elements undergo a continuous transformation of their specific structure and thus make the room vibrate visually.

Bloomberg SPACE: COMMA24 and COMMA25 at Bloomberg SPACE

by e-flux shows :: rss on 30. Jul, 2010 in NEWS, e-flux

Bloomberg SPACE
Exhibition continues until 14 August 2010

Widely considered as a pioneer of the constructed photographic image, Boyd Webb has been commissioned to create a pair of large-scale images in response to the voluminous front gallery. Easily viewed from the street the two new huge photographic works pasted flat against the gallery walls create a connection linking the interior of the gallery to the public square beyond. For COMMA, Webb has chosen not to create fantastical tableaux, but rather to focus his lens on two separate bizarre yet mesmerizing images.

Collective: Hito Steyerl: In Free Fall

by e-flux shows :: rss on 28. Jul, 2010 in NEWS, e-flux

Collective
29 July – 19 September 2010

“Falling is a transition. It is a movement from one position to another. In as much as it suggests failure or ruin, to love is also to fall. It is corruption, revolution and abandonment. It implies a relationship. Hito Steyerl’s In Free Fall charts a singular object, the Boeing 707-700 4X-JYI airplane, in this process of falling. Less the story of an object’s production and eventual obsolescence, In Free Fall documents a life made visible through consecutive moments of destruction.”

e-flux journal: What Is Contemporary Art? out now on Sternberg Press

by e-flux shows :: rss on 27. Jul, 2010 in NEWS, e-flux

What is contemporary art? First, and most obviously: why is this question not asked? That is to say, why do we simply leave it to hover in the shadow of attempts at critical summation in the grand tradition of twentieth-century artistic movements? The contemporary delineates its border invisibly: no one is proud to be “contemporary,” and no one is ashamed. Indeed, the question of where artistic movements have gone seems embedded in this question, if only because “the contemporary” has become a single hegemonic “-ism” that absorbs all proposals for others. When there are no longer any artistic movements, it seems that we are all working under the auspices of this singular -ism that is deliberately (and literally) not one at all…
