Corey McCorkle

Corey McCorkle: An Arrangement (Phalanx), 2007

COREY McCORKLE kiállítása a Maccarone-ban, (New York, http://www.maccarone.net/)
”When a Dog Barks The Response in the Ear of the Sky is a Star”, April 14th - May 12th, 2007.

„On the periphery of metropolitan Istanbul is a dilapidated zoo located within in otherwise pastoral municipal park. Started in the 1980's this project, similar to many other public commissions on the edge of the city, remains incomplete, abandoned. Much of the architecture in the outlying areas of Istanbul is similar, empty cast-concrete shells thrown up in the anticipation of an urban sprawl yet to come. Driving along the highways, one sees these structures, many of which will never be occupied by their intended tenants. They currently function only as monuments to a sort of tragic optimism, a lost cause of expansion, an emblem of coaxed development into suburbia.

Empty zoo shells sometimes house transients, but the string of pavilions and plains of the park are, for the most part, under the exclusive rule of feral dogs. Designed for the domestication and exhibition of the wild and exotic, a holdover from a romantic 19th century idea of naturalism, if not tourism, these abbreviated showcase environments have been overtaken by animals once domesticated, now wild and subsequently territorial: Corey McCorkle's project at maccarone lies where this former ideal meets our current century's urban entropy, which operates on a course from construction to neglect to metamorphosis. It begins at the point the zoo meets its political end - the decommission.

McCorkle's photographic and sculptural installations document these new ruins of urban planning beside the implosion of both nature and culture's milieu, not swaying far from the artist's past investigations of anomalous forgotten space and the dysfunctions therein. A video work similarly captures how the zoo pavilions, intended for entertainment and consumption, have collapsed from supposed civil program to architectural folly for the wild, liberated, and sometimes hostile.

If the cage is no longer a veil of tactful decorum, McCorkle's use of the kilim shifts the documentary to the decorative. As a great mediator between domestic comfort and civic assembly, the material is an emblem of Istanbul's history, garlanded with emporium and its longstanding reputation as an "East/West" depot. A mirrored hallway echoes the absurdity of attempting to contain an infinite nature, collapsing transitional and terminal space.

McCorkle's recently solo exhibitions include Kunsthalle Bern, Switzerland; MC, Los Angeles; Objectif, Antwerp. The artist's work is concurrently on view The Kitchen, NY and Stella Louhaus, Antwerp. A film commission regarding Le Corbusier's Tower of Shadows will be screened in May at The Office of Contemporary Art, Oslo, Norway and New York.”

Crystal City Mind

Flip Sellin, Tilman Thürmer, Marius Bell: Crystal City Mind, 2008

„Crystal City Mind is a multi-faceted design object made from high polished high grade steel and matte black surfaces. During the course of this summer Coordination and diephotodesigner.de toured the Berlin inner city with the sizable object, capturing impressions along the former Berlin wall. The images developed thereby show how rapidly Berlin has evolved in the last 20 years, as living old and new congregate.”

Nam June Paik

Nam June Paik: TV Buddha, 1974

„Paik's possibly most famous video work was produced as a gap-filler for an empty wall in his fourth show in the Galeria Bonino, New York. Shortly before the opening, he hit upon the idea of making a TV viewer out of an antique Buddha statue once purchased as an investment. The subsequent addition of a video camera meant the Buddha now watched his videotaped image on the screen opposite – past and present gaze upon each other in an encounter between Oriental deity and Western media.
During the 'Projekt '74' exhibition in Cologne, Paik took the Buddha’s place in his recent creation, suggesting the implicit antithesis between transcendentalism and technology was equally present in his own personality.” forrás: http://www.medienkunstnetz.de/works/tv-buddha/images/2/

”A new installation created in collaboration with Sean Borodale and Volkhart Muller as part of our Hothouse residency at the Brewhouse Theatre and Arts Centre.
Two blocks of ice hung from hooks slowly melt into buckets resting on mirrors, the sound of dropping water amplified in the space through contact mics. This exhibition is open until January, see the Brewhouse site for more info.” forrás: http://duncanspeakman.net/?cat=35, itt róla video.

Erwin Wurm

Erwin Wurm, Hypnosis, 2008, Edition of 15, Aluminium, 18kg, 78 x 89 x 40 cm, itt: Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac, Salzburg) January 26-March 8, 2008

„Hypnosis was developed exclusively for Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac, and 15 copies of it will appear. The exhibition will take place in the Department of Editions at the Salzburg gallery. Hypnosis is a sculpture cast in aluminium, the body of which resembles a potato. That potato-shaped body is given a high polish, whereas the legs are matte-finished. The artist regards Hypnosis as a type of thought balloon, but also as a result of his rather long preoccupation with archetypes or various mental conditions, especially hypnosis. In addition to the edition, a number of new works will be shown in the main building of the gallery.

For more than 25 years, Wurm has been dealing with the notion of sculpture and the possibilities of expanding it. Especially his One minute sculptures made him known worldwide. Here, the artist tells people what to do-e. g. stick their head into a refrigerator-and takes pictures of them. In doing so, Wurm shows that a sculpture might exist only for a few minutes and that everything can become a one, even the visitors to an exhibition who follow his instructions. Hence, Erwin Wurm's art blurs the borders between sculpture, performance, and action.

Erwin Wurm was born in 1954 in Bruck/Mur and has livied in Vienna for many years. His works are represented in international collections, such asFonds Régional d'Art Contemporain, Galleria d'Arte Moderna Bologna, Walker Art Center, MUMOK (Vienna), and Museum für Moderne Kunst Frankfurt. The first large Wurm retrospective took place at the Museum für Moderne Kunst in Vienna in 2007 and was also shown at other European museums. At the Deichtorhallen Hamburg, the Wurm retrospective contributed to an increase in visitors by twenty-five percent in 2007. Five hundred cultural experts and artists from Germany selected the top cultural highlights of the year 2007. The Erwin Wurm retrospective was rated second-best, even outperforming Documenta 12.” forrás: http://arttattler.com/commentaryerwinwurm.html
