    152 Contemporary Art Kat.-Nrn. 105–189 Bernd Zimmer ist kein Landschaftsmaler im traditionellen Sinne. Seine Werke erzählen von Natur, Luft und Wasser, von Farbe und Licht. Für Zimmer ist Malen ein reflektieren- der Prozess über das Gesehene und Erlebte. Natur und Kunst verbinden sich dabei zu einem organischen Ganzen. Zimmers breiter, spontaner Pinselstrich, die impulsiven Farben und großen Formate sind charakt- ristisch für seine geradezu romantische „Landschaftsmalerei“, die er in den letzten Jahrzehnten immer wieder neu erfand – oftmals am Rande der Abstraktion. Immer wieder gibt die eine oder andere Studien- reise Anregung für neue künstlerische Auseinandersetzungen. So auch eine Reise nach Indien Anfang der 1990er Jahre, die Auslöser für seine „Himmelsbilder“ war, in denen er sich mit der spirituell geprägten Bedeutung von Luft und Himmel ausein- andersetzte.

  • Giulio Paolini QUI DOVE SONO (HERE WHERE I
    Giulio Paolini QUI DOVE SONO (HERE WHERE I AM) Galleria Christian Stein Corso Monforte 23, Milan September 30, 2020-January 16, 2021 The Galleria Christian Stein presents a solo exhibition by Giulio Paolini (Genoa, 1940) entitled Qui dove sono (Here Where I Am), a reference to a work in the show and a homage to the Galleria Christian Stein, where Paolini exhibited for the first time over fifty years ago, in 1967, at the branch in Turin, and has continued to do so regularly throughout his career, most recently in 2016. The exhibition at the gallery on Corso Monforte is made up of five works, three of which were created expressly for the occasion. Sculpture and photography, suitably elaborated in Paolini’s language, tell a story that turns around myth, classical antiquity and history; the images on display are shrouded in an absolute dimension of time, remote from the realities of the present day. In the work located at the center of the room, In volo (Icaro e Ganimede) (In Flight [Icarus and Ganymede], 2019-20), the plaster cast of Ganymede, copy of a marble sculpture by Benvenuto Cellini (1500-71), stands on a high base. The youth is holding two wings made of gilded cardboard to evoke his flight to Olympus. In fact the myth of Ganymede is founded on the beauty of the young man, to whom Zeus, king of the gods, takes a fancy, abducting him in the form of an eagle and carrying him off to Olympus to be his lover. On the ground a square sheet of transparent material offers glimpses of fragments of a photographic image of the sky together with a reproduction of the figure of Icarus from the picture Daedalus and Icarus (1799) by the French painter Charles Paul Landon (1761-1826).

  • On Dennis Oppenheim's Marionette Theatre
    On Dennis Oppenheim’s marionette theatre Robert Slifkin Figure 1 Dennis Oppenheim, Attempt to Raise Hell, 1974. Seated motorized figure in the image of the artist, cloth and felt suit, wood and steel base, spotlight. Timing device triggers cast head in the image of the artist to lunge forward striking the suspended silver plated bell every sixty seconds. 78.4 x 121 x 91.1 cm. Collection Radchovsky House, Dallas. Photo: Ace Contemporary, Los Angeles. Courtesy Dennis Oppenheim Estate. Dennis Oppenheim’s Attempt to Raise Hell (Figure 1), a motorized effigy of the artist set upon a white plinth that violently bangs its aluminium head upon a large brass bell every three minutes, portrays, in a most striking manner, the romantic theme of artistic creation through bodily and mental suffering. The violent clang of metal on metal produced by the piece resonates loudly and long after the jerky mechanical collision, sounding something like an alarm in the gallery in which the work is exhibited. The work’s sonic resonance imparts its ambition to draw attention to itself and to produce effects beyond its material limits, not only in the space but in the minds and bodies of beholders. The masochistic gesture portrayed by the mechanical figure is capable of engendering powerful feelings in its viewers. One might say that Attempt to Raise Hell dramatizes a foundational conceit of expressionism, in which a sensory experience of a work of art’s creator is vividly conveyed to a beholder through affective means. The use of an inanimate and mechanical surrogate ironizes this dynamic, suggesting how the techniques of such experiential transference are typically more technical than natural.

  • (The Avoidance of Everything) Bill Beckley—1968-1978 On
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Albertz Benda Opens with the Inaugural Exhibition The Accidental Poet (The Avoidance of Everything) Bill Beckley—1968-1978 On view September 10 – October 3, 2015 Graphic for Myself as De Kooning’s Stove, 1974 Washington, 1969 Cibachrome and black and white Black and white photograph on photographs 30 x 60 inches (76.2 x paperboard 14 x 28 inches 152.4 cm) Edition of 3 (35.5 x 71 cm) When I did the piece crossing the Delaware River on foot, dripping paint as I went, the current took me under, and I lost not only the paint but also the camera I was using to document the work. I realized then that all I had left was the story. – Bill Beckley, 2007 New York, NY, June 11, 2015 – For its inaugural exhibition, Albertz Benda is pleased to present a solo show of rare, early works by Bill Beckley from 1968-1978, many of which have not been on view in four decades. A fundamental member of the ‘70s SoHo art community, Beckley’s work provides a crucial glimpse into one of the key New York art movements of the 20th century. The Accidental Poet (The Avoidance of Everything) features materials drawn from Beckley’s archives, shuttered since the 1970s, unveiling never before seen performance documentation, watercolors, and studies for his best-known work, among other materials. The exhibition will also feature the artist’s conceptual narrative work of typed fictions and framed photographs, previously shown at landmark exhibitions including the Whitney Biennial, Documenta and the Venice Biennale, which have not been on view in the United States since the 1970s.

ISBN 978-3-00-063804-6 HERBERT ZANGS OF ARBITRARINESS AND ORDER GALERIE ROTTLOFF KARLSRUHE 12.1. BIS 28.2. 2020 Selfportrait of Herbert Zangs, who put his face on a photocopy machine, ca. 1976 The Two Faces of Herbert Zangs (1924-2003) "This creative chaos, a vital natural phenomenon, was taken in by a single question: his fate as a thoroughbred painter" (Joseph Beuys 1974). The "creative chaos" formulated by Beuys, which I call the "two faces", is confirmed in all the works in the catalogue. Herbert Zangs' works are always concerned with the structuring overcoming of the chaotic nature that slumbers in reality and in the artist himself. In the "Knüpfungen" in particular, the reality and objectivity of the linen sheets and the knotted objects are creatively alienated, thus taking a new artistic path. Nevertheless, it was difficult for the artist to make it into the top list of avant-garde artists. This was once due to his temporally very extensive world travels to all continents and his not always serious appearance and behavior. The so-called "antidating", which, as is well known, came out in 1972, did him most harm. Zangs himself made a statement on this in the catalogue of the Westfälischer Kunstverein in 1974 in a conversation with John Matheson, who had asked him the critical question about the dating: "When I saw materials in a certain state of mind that occurred to me, I would collage them again in the old way.

  • It's Customary for Galleries to Display Their Artists' Newest Works. That Is
    Installation view, “The Accidental Poet: Bill Beckley—1968-1978,” 2015, at Albertz Benda. It’s customary for galleries to display their artists’ newest works. That is understandable, for we want to see how these figures are developing; we usually leave it to museums to offer a broader historical perspective. But it can be very instructive, also, to study the origins of a now-celebrated artist. Bill Beckley started showing art in 1968, at the moment when change was in the air in New York. He was one of a group of now- Carrier, David. “Accidentally on Purpose: Bill Beckley at Albertz Benda, Artcritical, October 3, 2015. legendary artists associated with the pioneering Soho Gallery at 112 Greene Street — they included Louise Bourgeois, Suzanne Harris, Gordon Matta-Clark and Dennis Oppenheim. This densely packed exhibition provides a good overview of his first decade of artmaking. “The Accidental Poet” included Myself as Washington (1969), a photograph that anticipates Cindy Sherman’s playful studies of personal identity; and the text with photograph Joke About Elephants (1974), a precursor of Richard Prince’s joke paintings. There is Rooster, Bed, Lying (1971), a bed underneath a chicken wire cage housing the live rooster who was present at the opening. In Photo Document for Song for a Chin-up (1971), which was performed by a tenor at the opening, a tenor sings while doing a chin- up. Artists of the previous generation, the Pop painters and Minimalists, who came of age in the 1960s, defined the unity of their concerns by creating distinctive visual styles — a Warhol, like a Lichtenstein or a Donald Judd, is unmistakably their personal product.

  • Arte Povera, Press Release with Image Copy
    SPROVIERI GIOVANNI ANSELMO, JANNIS KOUNELLIS, GIUSEPPE PENONE, EMILIO PRINI recent works preview 4 dec, 6 - 8 pm exhibition 5 dec - 16 feb 23 heddon street london w1b 4bq Sprovieri is delighted to present an exhibition of recent works by Giovanni Anselmo, Jannis Kounellis, Giuseppe Penone and Emilio Prini. The selection of works brings together some of the most influential living artists of the Arte Povera, the Italian artistic movement that in the late 1960s explored art not only using ‘poor materials’ but also conceiving the image as a conscious action rather than a representation of ideas and concepts. Ofering a contemporary transposition of their early subjects and practices, the exhibition reveals how these artists have continuously developed the energy and innovation of their poetics. The work ‘Ultramarine Blue While It Appears Towards Overseas’ by Giovanni Anselmo - especially conceived for this exhibition - reflects the artist’s commitment to create a work which must be ‘the physification of the force behind an action, of the energy of a situation or event’. A deep and bright blue square made with acrylic painting will be outlined by the artist against the white wall of the gallery. Jannis Kounellis contributes to the exhibition with a powerful triptych work: three large sculptures comprising of steel panels, iron beams and tar imprints of an ordinary man coat. The triptych translates the tension and alienation of our contemporary society where modernisation and industrial development are inevitably put in dialogue with our individual and traditional values. Giuseppe Penone’s sculpture ‘Acero (Maple)’ 2005 is inspired by the search for an equal relationship between man and material.
