  • Thomas Hirschhorn DE-PIXELATION 530 West 21St Street October 28, 2017 – January 13, 2018 Opening October 27, 6-8Pm
    Thomas Hirschhorn DE-PIXELATION 530 West 21st Street October 28, 2017 – January 13, 2018 Opening October 27, 6-8pm Gladstone Gallery is pleased to present DE-PIXELATION, an exhibition of new work from Thomas Hirschhorn’s Pixel-Collage series. Over the last two years, Hirschhorn has embarked on this deeply personal, political and socially-engaged body of work that explores the limitations and deceitfulness of imagery found throughout popular culture and the media. Employing a mix of collaging techniques, Hirschhorn’s work from the Pixel-Collage series calls into question the legitimacy of imagery that has been altered to protect the viewer from unpleasant depictions of gruesome human suffering and violence. This exhibition marks the conclusion of the Pixel-Collage series. In a statement from the artist: “De-Pixelation” is the title of my exhibition at Gladstone Gallery. I will exclusively present new “Pixel-Collage”. The exhibition will mark the ending of the “Pixel-Collage”-series that I have been working on for two years. My engagement in the problematic of ‘pixelation’ and ‘de-pixelation’ comes from the decision to see and look at the world as it is, and to insist in doing so. I believe that ‘de-pixelation’, ‘pixelation’, blurring or masking and furthermore censorship or self- censorship, is a growing and insidious issue, also in the social media today. I don’t accept that, under the claim of ‘protecting’ - protecting me, protecting the other - the world is pixelated in my place. I want, I can, I need and I must use my own eyes to see everything in our world, as act of emancipation.

  • Press Release Thomas Hirschho
    Keys of the exhibition 1. After Miao Xiaochun and Michael Najjar, this summer Es Baluard again invites an international artist to present an individual themed exhibition in the Aljub, and in 2016, it is the turn of Swiss artist Thomas Hirschhorn. 2. “Equality Float” is an allegory of the community, a reflection on the idea of Equality and Inequality. It is a piece measuring 21 metres in length by 6 metres in width and standing 3.30 metres tall, updated to be shown in the Aljub, which curator Ignacio Cabrero has contextualised by including a display case with documentation on the concept of equality, texts and drawings by the artist; a copy of the work The Map of Friendship between Art and Philosophy, 2007; and books, among others. 3. The project is based on the text “Eternal Flame”, written by Thomas Hirschhorn in 2007 for the magazine Artforum, in which he alludes to the book by Jacques Rancière, The Ignorant Schoolmaster, to warn that the eternal flame to the cry of equality will never be extinguished. And essentially, in the words of the artist himself, “The game is not over”. 1. The relationship between Philosophy and Art is represented by means of the forms and texts created by the artist, based on concepts and words that question the elements of friendship between art and philosophy; concepts that Thomas Hirschhorn developed in his work The Map of Friendship between Art and Philosophy (2007), along with German philosopher Marcus Steinweg, whose text “Community of Unequals” also forms part of the sculpture.

  • Thomas Hirschhorn
    Thomas Hirschhorn Best known for his sculptural constructions produced from disposable mass manufactured goods, Hirschhorn gathers together references and imagery culled from popular media with the work of radical theorists such as Gilles Deleuze and Georges Bataille. Thomas Hirschhorn was born in 1957 in Bern, Switzerland. He now lives and works in Paris, France. Hirschhorn is widely regarded as a leading artist of his generation. He uses everyday and found materials such as plastic sheeting, cardboard, aluminium, packing tape and magazine images to create a dystopian reality. The process of making remains visible and becomes a metaphor for the individual and collective struggle to establish democracy. Implicated in Hirschhorn's work, viewers are obliged to consume and reflect upon that which they may have hitherto been able to ignore in their daily lives. The disparity between the viewer and the bombardment of blown-up imagery reminds us of how distant and removed we can feel when confronted with such imagery. Hirschhorn will have a solo exhibition at MAAXI, Rome, Italy in October 2021. Hirschhorn transformed a gallery of the GL Strand, Copenhagen, Denmark in March 2021 with a labyrinthine site-specific work titled ‘Community of Fragments’. In February 2021 ‘Spinoza-Car’ was installed at Horta Hall, Brussels, Belgium. In September 2020 his vast ‘World Airport’ went on display as part of the newly presented permanent collection of Musée d'Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean (MUDAM), Luxembourg. In 2019 a major work titled ‘Robert Walser-Sculpture’ was unveiled at Place de la Gare, Biel/ Bienne. Other notable solo projects include ‘In-Between', South London Gallery, London in 2015 and ‘Gramsci Monument', a major public installation presented in 2013 by Dia Art Foundation at a New York City Housing Authority development in the Bronx, New York.

  • ASSEMBLAGE-BASED INSTALLATION: AFFECTS and INTERPRETATIONS Marian Tubbs
    ASSEMBLAGE-BASED INSTALLATION: AFFECTS AND INTERPRETATIONS Marian Tubbs AN EXEGESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF FINE ARTS, IN THE SCHOOL OF ART, COLLEGE OF FINE ARTS, UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES, AUGUST 2010 An M t ABSTRACT This exegesis aims to assess the communicative power of assemblage-based installation art. The body of research underlying this assessment provides tools for understanding experimental assemblage-based installation practices and their affective1 nature. The exegesis tracks discourses between contemporary assemblage- based practices and recent philosophy on aesthetics. It reviews mechanisms used by contemporary artists to engage the spectator that resist existing aesthetic structures and assert new communicative visual forms. Definitions of ‘the contemporary’ are employed to help situate the dialectic of forms. By way of applying some key concepts of philosopher Gilles Deleuze to methods of production, the assessment proposes a symbiotic relationship between Deleuzian philosophy and assemblage-based practices. Deleuze’s ‘affect’, ‘de- stratification’, ‘repetition’ and ‘assemblage’ are the main theories applied to this a posteriori relationship. This exegesis investigates artists’ methods of sign manipulation such as compositions of repetitions, rhythms and durations. The experience of the spectator is investigated from the key positions of three disciplines of thought. How the brain processes information when viewing art is examined by way of readings from commentator Jacques Ranciere, philosopher David Hume and neurologist Vilayanaur Ramachandran. This establishes a speculative foundation for the relationship between the spectator and ‘the sign’. In terms of linguistics and visual forms, a critical analysis is applied to ‘signs’ to analyse the practices of artists who challenge established form and narrative structures.

    Falling from the Grip of Grace The Exhibition as a Critical Form since 1968 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in The Graduate School of The Ohio State University By James T. Voorhies, Jr. Graduate Program in History of Art The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Professor Aron Vinegar, Advisor Professor Lisa Florman Professor Ron Green Bill Horrigan ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Copyright by James T. Voorhies, Jr. Summer 2012 ! Abstract Falling from the Grip of Grace is an analysis of the exhibition as a critical form of art with special consideration to the role of the spectator. It charts a history of exhibitions from 1968 to the present to explore how we arrived at a moment when critical art faces many challenges, not least of which is competing with the art institutions that give it voice. It is the first sustained study to critically analyze connections between late- Modernist artistic strategies engaged with the exhibition form and subsequent dispersal of those strategies into curatorial practices at major institutions and biennials. Artists such as Robert Smithson, Michael Asher and Group Material initially expanded the spectator’s involvement in art to encompass the spatial and temporal contexts of the exhibition. This change signaled a definitive fall from the modernist aesthetic regime of pure visuality, or state of “grace” to use Michael Fried’s term, by placing greater emphasis on integrating engagements between art, spectator and institution. This dissertation interweaves the legacy of work by these artists and that of curator Harald Szeemann to examine contemporary art, institutions and biennials that involve the spectator in exhibition-making processes.

  • Tendenza" – a Case of the Past? Schweizerische Technische Zeitschrift "TECHNIK Aktuell, Ausgabe Mai 98 (Nr
    The Architecture of Ticino "Tendenza" – a case of the past? Schweizerische Technische Zeitschrift "TECHNIK Aktuell, Ausgabe Mai 98 (Nr. 5/98) Most of the pioneers of the architecture movement in Ticino who have helped to establish Switzerland internationally as „architecture landscape“ in the 70ies, have studied at ETH in Zürich. Three decades later an individual, who had observed the emergence of the „ticino architects“ with great interest from abroad, wonders how it could happen, that some of these former „architectural revolutionaries“ could be associated with „strange architectural ideas“ on centrally located locations in towns. Written by Jörg Kühn One of the most beautiful towns in Ticino, which is, without doubt, Locarno, is on the verge to 21st century. In order to assess the spatial urban strategies and architectural activities of the town it seems necessary to review the complex and changing history of the Ticino region, if only at a glance. The Region south of the central alps was traditionally considered to be rather poor and only peripheral to the great north-south routes crossing the alps. Progress in the fields of socio- politics and artful planning occurred in various urban centres and their respective urban areas. Curiously the Ticino region made important contributions to Europe’s advances in architecture and planning as early as the 18th century. Aristocrats from St. Petersburg down to Italy employed the exceptional design talent of the Ticino professionals, who where then still called master builders and who delivered true ‚baukunst’ upon request. The Ticino region was discovered as target for migration as late as this century.
