Mousse #32 out now

February 8~2012

February – March 2012

In this issue…

Stan Douglas has a fascinating method for producing his series: identification. For “Midcentury Studio”, Douglas dons the garb of a Canadian news photographer and war veteran. In a conversation with Monika Szewczyk, the artist discusses this work and the recent “Disco Angola”.

Elisabeth Lebovici converses with Barbara Hammer to retrace the artist’s career and delve into two recent works, one on Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore, the other on Maya Deren, touching on themes of gender, role and discrimination.

In Buffalo, in March 1984, Susan Krane and Bruce Jenkins interviewed Hollis Frampton, shortly before his death. The tapes, which Jenkins has retrieved from his archives 28 years later, offer an extraordinary conversation/performance of the American artist in LOST & FOUND.

Mousse Issue #31 Out Now

November 29~2011

Jonathas de Andrade, in a conversation with Stuart Comer, thinks about the condition of stiffness that inhibits his generation and explains how his work sets the goal – identified by Suely Rolnik – of grasping a new political-creative flux.

Chantal Akerman has addressed issues like otherness and confinement, starting with her own biography and that of her mother, a survivor of the Nazi camps. Elisabeth Lebovici met with the artist to talk about how her extraordinary filmography has been able to shed light on the Other as Subject.

The Arab Image Foundation is an expanding collection of photographs from the Arab region. Alessandro Rabottini talked with its co-founder, the artist Akram Zaatari, who explains why the images produced by everyday people are so important in his work.

Mousse at Artissima 18

November 4~2011

For Artissima 18, Mousse is happy to present an exhibition of artist books and ephemera by Allan Kaprow.

“Artists’ books, which have testified to the complex relationship between figurative art and publishing ever since the historical avant-gardes, characterized much of the experimentation that took place in the ’60s and ’70s. In that chapter of history, they claimed the status of artworks, bringing to bear all the tools – writing, drawing, photography – capable of serving a form of expression based on conceptual thinking, elemental signs, narrative and action. In that period, Allan Kaprow (1927–2006), taking a seemingly contradictory approach, repeatedly downgraded his books from the loftier category of art objects to that of tools aiding his main activity as a constructor of Happenings. In other words, he created a direct link between his events and books.”

Artissima 18 App now available on the App Store

Mousse is happy to announce the first digital guide to Artissima. Download the Artissima 18 App on your iPhone and discover a rich and comprehensive resource to live the fair.

TEN FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION OF CURATING Chapter VI – What Is an Exhibition?

October 4~2011

In the sixth chapter of Ten Fundamental Question of Curating, Elena Filipovic investigates the meaning and the function of the exhibition. Instead of being a neutral “device”, every exhibition offers a subjective and personal reading of the artworks. Focusing on the hermeneutic power of displaying works of art, Filipovic poses questions about the final purpose of an exhibition: generating doubts rather than statements and highlighting unconventional ways of looking at art.

June 16~2011

Text – Juan A. Gaitàn
Visuals – Christodoulos Panayiotou

In the fifth installment of Ten Fundamental Questions of Curating, Juan A. Gaitàn reflects on the meaning of the “viewing public”, offering a brief overview of how viewers’ roles and attitudes have changed in relation to museum events, and emphasizing the elements of fragmentation and lack of identification that can be seen in the public’s approach to contemporary art shows.

Mousse and The Danish Pavilion at the 54th Venice Biennale

June 8~2011

This year’s group exhibition “Speech Matters“ gathers 19 artists and refers to Denmark’s longstanding reputation of freedom of speech and issues the state of civil liberties in a time where censorship is on the rise. Hence, the show picks up a – not only within Denmark – highly controversial topic and explores how artists question the borders of freedom of speech and expression in their works.
