Journey through the fact and fiction of space exploration from Fritz Lang to the moon landing, to Star Trek and Avatar.
ACMI presents the world premiere of Star Voyager: Exploring Space on Screen, a major exhibition charting the history and future of space exploration as experienced through the moving image.
From early films by Fritz Lang and Georges Méliès, through to footage of the 1969 moon landing and recent films such as the Alien series, Moon and Sunshine, the moving image has allowed us to experience what most of us can only dream of.
Combining scientific and documentary footage with feature films and video artwork, the Star Voyager exhibition celebrates an enduring fascination with space travel through the imaginations of artists, scientists and astronauts.
Enjoy a rare opportunity to see real NASA artefacts used in space plus film production materials, including costumes from Star Trek, Austin Powers and Total Recall. The exhibition also features an exciting new work, developed here in Melbourne, allowing visitors to explore the surface of Mars in 3D.

Etwa hundert Jahre ist es her, dass die Kunst – zumindest in Teilen – ungegenständlich geworden ist. Ein Monopol hatte die Abstraktion seitdem nie, aber es gab Zeiten wesentlicher Marktbeherrschung, auf die dann wieder figürliche Gegenbewegungen folgten. Die Oppositionen abstrakt / figurativ und Formalismus / Realismus waren vor allem in der Nachkriegszeit nicht nur künstlerisch sondern auch gesellschaftlich ideologisch besetzt. Eine Generation, die nach 1990 ihre prägende künstlerische Sozialisation erfuhr, fand jedoch die Abstraktion als weitgehend entideologisiertes Konzept vor, das weder politischen noch ästhetischen Reinheitsgeboten mehr unterlag. Die Vor- und Nachkriegsmoderne ist für die hier behandelte Generation von Künstlerinnen und Künstlern ein Steinbruch mit unterschiedlichen Lagerstätten, die im Sinne des musikalischen Samplings neu miteinander kombiniert werden können, um sie einer aktuellen Lesart zu unterziehen. Werke aus den letzten zehn Jahren dokumentieren die Aktualität einer Neuen Abstraktion im Spektrum der Gegenwartskunst.

ABSTRAKT //// SKULPTUR wurde kuratiert von Marc Wellmann und ist die erste Überblicksausstellung aktueller ungegenständlicher Bildhauerei in einer deutschen Institution. Die Werke treten dabei in Dialog mit den Plastiken Georg Kolbes, einem der bedeutendsten figürlichen Bildhauer der Moderne.

ART HK 11 will take place from 26-29 May 2011 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
Booth 1C08
This time on 100 square meters we will be showing a solo presentation by GILBERT & GEORGE as well as an extra booth with works by SOPHIE CALLE, WIM DELVOYE, FX HARSONO, JITISH KALLAT, LIU XIAODONG, VIK MUNIZ, CHIHARU SHIOTA, NEDKO SOLAKOV, NATEE UTARIT and WANG GUANGYI.

The exhibition "abstract confusion" gathers 22 current outstanding artistic positions from the last ten years where one can see a clear development of new abstraction. This exhibition will present stars from the scene for example, Frank Nitsche and Thomas Scheibitz and newcomers such as, Wolfgang Flad and Shannon Finnley.

The current theme "abstraction" is elevated and the exhibition will provide one an overview of our contemporary abstract tendencies throughout all media. The theme will unfold itself through painting, photography, sculpture, installations and videos out of the abstract context. What is the specific "new" in new abstraction? What does it mean when artists turn to abstraction? Is it turning away from reality or is there an underlying aesthetic utopian counter development?

GALLERY WEEKEND BERLIN - 29 APRIL to 1 MAY 2011

THE URETHRA POSTCARD ART OF GILBERT & GEORGE
OEPNING on 29 April 2011 from 4 to 9 pm

Nearly four decades after their first exhibition of Postcard Art, and twenty years after their last group of pictures made of selected postcards, Gilbert & George returned to this medium to make an extensive group of 564 new pieces. Typical postcard topics such as the Union Flag, landscapes, the Royal Family and tourist destinations, are complimented by telephone box cards and flyers, which are mainly focusing on prostitution. 52 pictures from this single largest group of art works by Gilbert & George will be exhibited at ARNDT Berlin from 29 April 2011.

A two-volume set catalogue published by Prestel illustrates all 1.004 new "The Urethra Postcard Pictures" and early Postcard Pictures (1972–1989), most of which have not yet been catalogued or exhibited before.

Michael Bracewell describes the significance of this body of work in his contribution for the catalogue as follows: “In their sheer visual intensity, the extremism of their language and above all the forceful unity of their composition, THE URETHRA POSTCARD PICTURES both extend the POSTCARD ART of Gilbert & George as a specific form, and comprise one of the most powerful, mesmeric and intensely conceived and created groups of artworks that the artists have ever made.”

Exhibition:
"French Window. Looking at Contemporary Art through the Marcel Duchamp Prize"
Mori art Museum, Tokyo, Japan
26 March to 28 August 2011

For ten years, an elite association of contemporary art collectors known as ADIAF has hosted what has become one of France’s most prestigious art awards, the Marcel Duchamp Prize. To celebrate the award’s first decade, this exhibition presents the work of 28 artists, including all of the winners of the Grand Prix, selected finalists and also Duchamp himself.

The exhibition’s title refers to Duchamp’s well known work Fresh Widow, which depicts a French window, and a similar theme is continued through the show’s five sections: "Duchamp's Window," "The View from the Window," "The Window of Time and Space," "The Window of the Inner World" and "Inside the Window." Together, they provide a comprehensive view of the contemporary French art scene. The exhibition begins with important works by Duchamp himself, and then presents the esprit of contemporary French art through a selection of paintings, sculptures, photographs, installations and videos made by artists of diverse ages and cultural backgrounds. The final section includes a re-creation of a French collector's apartment, complete with artworks.

The exhibition provides an opportunity to experience contemporary French art as it exists today – a unique expression of the nation’s psychological landscape – and at the same time it provides insight into how the collectors of this art incorporate it into their own lives. We hope visitors are inspired to contemplate for themselves the nature of art and life as well as the role that collectors can play in any art scene.

On view to the general public from February 4th, this latest project features individual shows by the artists Pilar Albarracín (Seville, Spain, 1968), William Cordova (Lima, Peru, 1971), Kalup Linzy (Florida, USA, 1977) and Francesco Vezzoli (Brescia, Italy, 1971). Starting with this series, the Sala Verónicasgallery becomes La Conservera’s fifthspace, with an exhibition by the French artists Brice Dellsperger(Cannes, France, 1972) and Jean-Luc Verna (Nice, France, 1962). This show will open on Wednesday February 2nd.These six artists share common concerns and interests, They all project themselves through characters drawn from the history of art, literature, popular culture, the star system or soap operas. To a certain extent the series focuses on the demonopathic syndrome of double personality, the splitting of the artist into different physical and psychic entities. The body, gender, identity, sexuality and desire are some of the topics addressed. For William Cordova, Brice Dellsperger, Kalup Linzy, Jean-Luc Verna and Francesco Vezzoli these are their first solo exhibitions in Spain.

7 October 2010 - 16 January 2011
Julian Rosefeldt's films carry the viewer away into a surreal, theatrical world whose inhabitants are caught in the structures and rituals of everyday life. Despite their enigmatic subject matter and the precision of their production, Rosefeldt’s films are charged with slapstick and satire.
In “Making Of” eight film installations by Julian Rosefeldt will be accompanied by 40 photographic works, illustrating his opulent film work created since 2001. The exhibition sheds light on central themes and motifs, and traces the development of the artist’s oeuvre.

 Julian Rosefeldt's film installation 'American Night' | BFI London, until 6 November 2010
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the last few months I’ve been working on an exceptional, odd, outsized and kind of unique project.
It’s an extended contemplation on two fields: the ritual and culture of bullfighting and opera brought together, via my own hot-house flower kind of approach.
The inspiration and the site for these projects is the antique and notable Roman arena of Arles, France. It was built in about 1 B.C and has now been magnificently restored. It holds 25,000 people.
The project will unfold in two parts. For the first event in September, I am honored to be the only American artist ever selected to create the “Goyesque,” a giant sand painting covering the entire floor of the arena, roughly the scale of a football field. For one day, this ancient arena becomes my canvas for a monumental and site specific painting, that will be executed overnight, unveiled in the morning, and dissipate by afternoon.
In the tradition of ‘Corrida Goyesque,’ named in honor of Francisco Goya, starting at 5 pm, step by step, vuelta after vuelta, the slow but sure annihilation of my sand painting will be enacted under the ephemeral choreography created by matadors and bulls. By 8 pm the painting will be no more.
At the other end of the arena, there will be an orchestra and 200-person choir, performing a section of the opera Carmen, before the bullfight begins.
Since childhood, this culture has occupied my imagination and created a desire to think about its mystery, through images. Bullfighting remains enigmatic, and even has shown itself to be more so, during the past year as I made a continual study about this ritual. First there is the feeling that one can never know the bull. He has charged throughout history, alone or mythically saddled with a man’s body from the neck down, (as Picasso imagined himself, the magnetically irresistible Minotaur, etc) and the legs of a domesticated servant. During the faena, the last part of the bullfight, we most poetically see two figures tightly entwined, before the touch of death.
“Young men dream of wrapping the bull around their waist.” - Garcia Lorca

This project searches for a place in contemporary art where the ancient art of corrida is alive and in the world today.
Part 2 of my work in this site will occur in June, 2011 and will be installed in the 60 upper arches of the same arena.
Here I hope to address the architecture of this building itself, ornamenting it, as the Romans did. Just as my painterly action will remain only fleetingly as a fixed composition until the dramatic and unpredictable corrida takes the stage, the activity of the city surrounding these arches has changed dramatically over the course of many centuries in time. Long ago the requisite Roman statues that stood in these upper arches were knocked out, and now, the newly glowing stone has been restored and readied to support art, just as it did when it was first built. Thus, I will install a series of character personifications, echoing the missing statues, to dramatically revive a classic narrative that also originates from this setting.
Based on Georges Bizet’s opera Carmen, which concludes with Carmen’s death in front of a bullfighting arena, my version for Arles will star the actress Isabelle Huppert as Carmen. In June I produced the initial photo shoot for this project in Paris.
The piece can be revealed through the 60 arches in contemporary cinematographic time, as 60 frames of film. It asks for comparison to Roman temple friezes, where the action unfolds in chopped up moments, perhaps repeating an action, perhaps moving forward in the jumping progression of Proust's magic lantern.
This installation is a meditation on the opera, converted into contemporary art. In a way it is Carmen without music. But there will be some music. As part of the project, renowned Flamenco guitarist and composer Gregorio Ibor-Sanchez will write a transposed Carmen, allowing the story to reassert itself with a very different, Gypsy musical foundation. This special contribution to the Arles project will be performed at the opening in June 2011. - Ena Swansea

SYSTEMATIC
group show at Projectspace 176
Zabludowicz Collection
1 July - 15 August 2010

For Systematic, Sandison has developed two existing works, adapting them for the idiosyncratic architecture of 176. In Reading Glass, the full stops of a text emerge from the flaws and irregularities of the room and come together to form the words of Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species (1859). Their behaviour mimics that of bacteria, coming together, reproducing and dying out, as they spell one word after another, eventually going through Darwin’s entire text. The design of the letters is based on handwriting samples from Sandison’s daughter at the time when she was learning to write.
The Blind watchmaker (2005) borrows its title from a computer program developed by the evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins in 1986, which is now used by the police to construct portraits of missing people. The program analyzes photographs to predict the way an individual would look at a later age. Sandison has reversed the programme to recover the features of a newborn’s face from photographs of adults.

11 September 2010 to 02 January 2011
In the first major presentation in an American museum of Jitish Kallat’s work, the contemporary Indian artist is preparing a site-specific installation that connects two key historical moments – the First World Parliament of Religions held on September 11, 1893 in Chicago, and the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on that very date, 108 years later. The resulting work, Public Notice 3, creates a trenchant commentary on the evolution, or devolution, of religious tolerance across the 20th and 21st centuries.

09 October to 20 Febuary 2011

Opening: Wednesday, July 14 - 18:00 ( At 19.00 Monika Bulanda will sing 'Snake Power')

Mathilde ter Heijne internationally renowned for her confrontative multi-media installations is presenting her latest project developed during her stay at Platform Garanti Contemporary Art Center Istanbul Residency Program.

Pursuing her interest in exploring the image of women in society, the artist was drawn to the 'Women's Products Market' organized by the not-profit organization Foundation for the Support of Women's Work (FSWW) and Kartal Municipality, which recently opened in the district of Kartal and where local women sell their handcrafted products. Ter Heijne gave each of the women a piece of fabric and asked them to apply their skills and express their dreams, hopes, or frustration. Each piece was to become the segment of a snake.
In Christian culture the snake is the symbol of the inferiority of women, which is exactly why Ter Heijne chose it as the symbol of empowerment for the women of Kartal. Initially the women were a little skeptical, but as they started grasping that this snake stood for networking, for helping and supporting each other, more and more women wanted to participate. Currently the snake is about 25 meters long.On the 18th of June, the women paraded their snake in Kartal, from where they took the train and boat to Beyoğlu and ended their walk at DEPO, Tophane.
Ter Heijne asked the women a lot of questions about themselves. Their answers have been turned into a rap song by musician and rap singer Monika Bulanda whose song ‘Snake Power’ accompanied the snake walk acoustically. The snake and the song will be on display at DEPO between the 14th and 24th of July.

Kallat's 100 foot long sculpture 'Untitled (When will you be happy)’ is installed at Pilane’s ancient burial grounds and consists of eighteen alphabets, shaped like bones, that appear to be reminiscent of unearthed relics or prehistoric skeletal remains of an extinct animal found during an archeological excavation. The bone and the re-fashioning of the skeletal structure have recurred through Kallat’s sculptural practice over the years. The exhibition is on until 3rd October, 2010.

An interview with the curator Francesco Bonami, with an Biennial Preview and Artist Photos has been publiched in:
Interview magazine

Vik Muniz was born in São Paulo in 1961. He is widely regarded to be one of Brazil’s most significant contemporary artists. He makes use of all sorts of material – including food and rubbish – in order to create his large works of art; he has also often demonstrated his dedication to social issues.
In WASTE LAND Lucy Walker provides a record of one of his most elaborate projects – an installation in ‘Jardim Gramacho’, one of the largest garbage dumps in the world. The dump is located on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro, where the poorest of the poor live. Many of these people earn a living from.
One of them is Tiao, a charistmatic dreamer who has founded a Catadores cooperative; bookworm Zumbi, who is a real intellectual, or eighteen-yearold Suelen, who is already mother of two children and is pregnant with a third. She’s been working at the rubbish dump since she was seven years old and is proud that she has never had to work as a prostitute.
Guided by Vik Muniz, they create extraordinary work of art which involves them shaping of self-portraits in and from the rubbish. The work changes not only their view of themselves, but also their view of the world. and the alchemy of the human spirit.

Once upon a time there were two investors living in a kind of (financial) paradise. One of them occupied a lovely meadow full of gorgeous flowers and friendly plants while the other preferred to live in the underground part of the same meadow, where the no-less-gorgeous-and-friendly roots of the same flowers and plants also provided a wonderful habitat. Needless to say, the two investors had a common business, too – a pretty conservative one, in a way even the most conservative and old-fashioned business one could find in those days: just a big pouch with a lot of cash in it.

The strange thing was that even though they argued constantly about other things, on that one – to keep the cash in the pouch in the old-fashioned way and not to place it into much more profitable financial operations – they had a silent agreement.

Then a crisis came. It was a devastating time and, like most other investors in the world, the two business partners lost a lot. But all the time, while desperately trying to save their assets, they had in the back of their heads that there was this huge money pouch full of cash that would guarantee their lives and the existence of their families.

There was just one thing that they didn’t take into account –the money pouch, their precious investment, the last hope they had, happened to have its own life and plans for the future as well. And there was no place in the pouch’s plans for the two investors. For a long time she had been dreaming of starting her own business without the two humans and, thanks to the crisis, she got it. “But we love you!” the two investors were trying to comprehend the new situation, an almost impossible task.
