‘We Will Live, We Will See’ at the Zabludowicz Collection, London
July 6~2011
‘We Will Live, We Will See’ is an exhibition that brings together a number of international artists whose practices examine the relationships between time, memory and forgetting. The show, curated by Pavel S. Pyś, pursues the potential that works of art may act as the lens through which the past is reconfigured, reinterpreted and made relevant today. Their meaning and specificity alters over time, producing a sense of temporality that is malleable and fluid. ‘We Will Live, We Will See’ draws upon such works to consider the past, not in terms of a normative ‘truth’, but rather in terms of unravelling, replaying and remaking.

FRANCE FICTION ‘Billes-club concordance accident’ at Jeu de Paume, Paris
June 25~2011
It is a highly choreographed situation in which patent-leather shoes on a black wool carpet move around a pentagonal white pattern, shiny marbles roll and stop for an enigmatic reason at the exact angle of the pentagon, people in black suits bend down and get up, all directed towards the same axis: an invisible space situated in the centre of the pentagon that does not move… it repeats indefinitely…

Text – Juan A. Gaitàn
Visuals – Christodoulos Panayiotou
In the fifth installment of Ten Fundamental Questions of Curating, Juan A.

Mousse and The Danish Pavilion at the 54th Venice Biennale

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.

Ten Fundamental Questions of Curating / Chapter IV – Why Mediate Art?
April 23~2011
The fourth installment of “Ten Fundamental Questions of Curating” looks for an answer to the question “Why Mediate Art?”. Maria Lind examines the seeming paradoxes that revolve around art institutions: an overabundance of traditional educational activities, aimed at engaging an ever broader public; marketing departments and press offices that take on a strategic role; curators who have no real interest in making their project known outside the professional sphere. The Swedish curator explains the importance of weaving connections between works, curatorial projects and the public, for a new kind of artistic “mediation”.

John McCracken
April 14~2011
John McCracken died last Friday in New York at the age of 76. Among the leading historic exponents of the American Minimalism, the Californian artist viewed art as a means of aesthetic and spiritual emancipation and his works as prototypes for a world to come, one dominated by pure thought and an absolute form of beauty. Convinced that art can give form to a hidden dimension of matter and the universe, McCracken, through the uniqueness of his artistic vision, revealed the true complexity of what we generically call “Minimalism”.
After the jump, an overview of his current retrospective at Castello di Rivoli, Turin, curated by Andrea Bellini.

The most beatutiful Kunsthalle in the world VIII. Producing for Exhibiting at Fondazione Antonio Ratti, Como
April 4~2011
How does a work of art come to be? Who produces it and why? How does the relations developed between client and artist, time and space of the work, between private responsibility and public institutions in the production of a work? Do we simply produce to exhibit or does the chain that leads to the “finished” product deserves interest in itself? Trying to answer these – and other questions related to the theme of “producing for exhibiting” – on March 24 Fondazione Antonio Ratti inquired James Lingwood, co-director of Artangel and Nato Thompson, chief curator of Creative Time: the two most important organizations, which for many years have been commissioning and producing outstanding projects by contemporary artists.

Danish Pavilion – Speech Matters
March 21~2011
Freedom of speech is one of the key issues in the current public debate and one that is becoming increasingly contested, given the steady erosion of civil liberties in many countries today. Denmark has always been at the forefront of the public debate on issues in relation to freedom of speech, but it has also suffered the so-called “trauma of free speech”.
The exhibition Speech Matters aims to provoke a considered debate and to complicate the issue of freedom of speech, highlighting the intricacies, ambiguities and grey areas inherent to the subject, and emphasizing the fact that freedom of speech cannot be exercised or applied in any programmatic or strictly proscribed manner. Finally, the exhibition also touches on the essence of visual artistic practice, which fundamentally entails conditions of freedom of expression. Eighteen artists from ten countries have been invited to participate. The majority will be producing new work for the exhibition.
