Water, labour and migration in the Port of Diversity are the central themes of the opening programme, which is conceived within the symbolic and historical centre of the city: its anchorage point – the port. In the tradition of carnivals, the Port of Diversity also becomes an area with a dierent face and character. Daily scenes, immovable and movable objects in the port and industrial and marine materials and tools transform into artistic installations, bodies of work, and audio and visual sensations. INTERNATIONAL CARNIVAL PARADE 2020 (23 February 2020, Rijeka City Centre) One of the world's most famous carnivals, the Rijeka Carnival is joined by numerous foreign carnival groups from European Capitals of Culture, which thus creates a special version of this traditional international carnival parade. Competition in imagination, wit, and originality, fireworks of colours and shapes result in a parade of hundreds of allegorical dances, thousands of masks, and countless spectators from home and abroad.

  • Fields of Blue: Nan Hoover's Video Installation on View at Moma
    The Museum of Modern Art 50th Anniversary NO. 73 *o FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FIELDS OF BLUE: NAN HOOVER'S VIDEO INSTALLATION ON VIEW AT MoMA FIELDS OF BLUE, a three monitor video installation by Nan Hoover in which the artist studies "light as a source of illusion", will be on view in The Museum of Modern Art's Auditorium Gallery begin- ing January 3, 1980 and running through January 29. FIELDS OF BLUE is the 31st program in The Museum's ongoing PROJECTS: VIDEO series directed by Barbara London. In FIELDS OF BLUE, three television monitors play back pre­ recorded images of the artist's figure as it moves into and out of the focal range of a stationary video camera, sometimes disappear­ ing and then reappearing again across the three monitors. "As the subject of her own work — Nan Hoover works completely alone in an austere environment using rudimentary equipment (video (more) NO. 73 NAN HOOVER, PROJECTS: VIDEO -2- camera, recorder and lights) — she moves slowly, carefully con­ trolling the visual composition of the images being videotaped, creating subtle nuances of forms," explains Barbara London. "In 1973 she turned from painting to performance and video, and began to explore new ways of handling light, composition and movement. Video enables her to maintain ultimate control over both her image­ ry and her equipment." Nan Hoover was born in 1931 in New York City and studied art at the Corcoran Gallery School on Washington, D.C. In 1969 she moved to Amsterdam and since that time has shown her work inter­ nationally, most recently at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, and in West Germany at the Museum Folkwang, Essen, and the Koelnischer Kunstverein in Cologne.

    Gustav Klimt Slide Script Pre-slides: Focus slide; “And now, it’s time for Art Lit” Slide 1: Words We Will Use Today Mosaics: Mosaics use many tiny pieces of colored glass, shiny stones, gold, and silver to make intricate images and patterns. Art Nouveau: this means New Art - a style of decorative art, architecture, and design popular in Western Europe and the US from about 1890 to 1910. It’s recognized by flowing lines and curves. Patrons: Patrons are men and women who support the arts by purchasing art, commissioning art, or by sponsoring or providing a salary to an artist so they can continue making art. Slide 2 – Gustav Klimt Gustav Klimt was a master of eye popping pattern and metallic color. Art Nouveau (noo-vo) artists like Klimt used bright colors and swirling, flowing lines and believed art could symbolize something beyond what appeared on the canvas. When asked why he never painted a self-portrait, Klimt said, “There is nothing special about me. Whoever wants to know something about me... ought to look carefully at my pictures.” We may not have a self-portrait but we do have photos of him – including this one with his studio cat! Let’s see what we can learn about Klimt today. Slide 3 – Public Art Klimt was born in Vienna, Austria where he lived his whole life. Klimt’s father was a gold engraver and he taught his son how to work with gold. Klimt won a full scholarship to art school at the age of 14 and when he finished, he and his brothers started a business painting murals on walls and ceilings for mansions, public theatres and universities.

  • YAMA KOWA the Multimedia Artist Was Born Into the World of Art, As The
    YAMA KOWA The multimedia artist was born into the world of art, as the daughter of the curator and art historian Wieland Schmied. Seeking distance and identity, she initially focused primarily on theater acting and found her true love in live art performance. She founded ACT.ART.OUT. performance theater in 2013 and is focusing fully on life-art ever since. Painting, video, collage or installations are only appearing as elements of her performative work. A speciality of her artistic practise is the work in performance cycles. So she brings the spontaneous and ephemere of live art performance in alignment with a kontinuity in time that might examine a topic over a dozen years or longer, and since the six weeks ongoing durational 2018 she developed an almost addictive preference to this sort of excessively meditative encounters.

  • Three Questions for Director Wolfgang Fischer
    OPENING FILM for PANORAMA SPECIAL at BERLINALE 2018 OPENING FEBRUARY 27, 2019 at FILM FORUM Directed by Wolfgang Fischer Starring Susanne Wolff Gedion Oduor Wekesa SYNOPSIS LOGLINE STYX depicts the transformation of a strong woman torn from her contented world during a sailing trip. SYNOPSIS Premiering at the Berlinale, where it opened the Panorama Special section, STYX is a work of unrelenting intensity and technical brilliance. ER doctor Rike (Susanne Wolff) embarks on a one-woman solo sailing trip to Ascension Island in the Atlantic. When Rike comes across a sinking ship of refugees, she is quickly torn out of her contented world and must make a momentous decision. Aptly named after the mythological river that separates the living from the dead, STYX is an astute modern-day parable of Western indifference in the face of marginalized suffering. Carrying practically the entire film, Wolff is riveting as a woman pushed to her physical, psychological and moral limits. BIOGRAPHIES DIRECTOR Wolfgang Fischer was born in 1970 in Vienna, Austria. He studied Psychology and Painting at the University of Vienna and then pursued Film at the Art Academy of Düsseldorf and at the Academy of Media Arts in Cologne. During this time, he worked as an assistant for Paul Morrissey and Nan Hoover. He was awarded a scholarship by the Munich Screenplay Program and by Equinoxe Europe. His films include: IN TIME (1994), 9h11 (1999), REMAKE OF THE REMAKE (1999), DISK-DUSK (1999), SCHOEN 2000, GRAU (2001) WHAT YOU DON’T SEE (2009). He is now in pre-production for his upcoming feature THE BEAR The Bear and the television series THE HIGHWAY OF TEARS and DESERTED.

He is noted for his highly decorative style in art most often seen in art with women with elaborate gowns, blankets and landscapes. Klimt was a co-founder of the Vienna Secessionist movement, a movement closely linked to Symbolism whereby artists tried to show truth using unrealistic or fantastical objects.

  • Nan Hoover Title: Black and White…
    OBSOLETE EQUIPMENT CASE STUDY SUMMARY CASE STUDY BLACK AND WHITE… Artist: Nan Hoover Title: black and white… Year: 2001 Medium: Closed circuit video installation Collection: The Netherlands Media Art Researcher: Eve Dullaart Institute (NIMk) SHORT DESCRIPTION The site-specific installation black and white… consists of several spotlights, hung low, right above the floor in a darkened room. Closed-circuit cameras register the beams of light the spotlights produce, as well as feet and the shadows cast by the visitors of the installation. These images are displayed on monitors placed on pedestals in the darkened room. Every 30 seconds the feed on the monitor jumps to another camera, showing the room, light, feet, legs and shadows from different, though always low, perspective. The images should be shown in black and white. Nan Hoover first made black and white... in 2001 for her solo exhibition Dialogue that took place in the Netherlands Media Art Institute in Amsterdam. In 2002 the work was installed again but then at Dany Keller Gallery in Munich. In 2006 the work was exhibited at MNAC in Bucharest. Because the work is site-specific the shape of the installation and the amount of equipment used was different each time the work was installed and adapted to the new exhibition situation. 1. Why was this work chosen as a Case Study? The work black and white... takes an interesting position within the case study line-up of the Obsolete Equipment project due to open character of the installation. The installation is site specific, in other words, the installation is adapted to the characteristics of the room it’s being installed in and depends on the budget and available equipment.

  • Artist Resources – Gustav Klimt (Austrian, 1862-1918) Gustav Klimt Foundation Klimt at Neue Galerie, New York
    Artist Resources – Gustav Klimt (Austrian, 1862-1918) Gustav Klimt Foundation Klimt at Neue Galerie, New York The Getty Center partnered with Vienna’s Albertina Museum in 2012 for the first retrospective dedicated to Klimt’s prolific drawing practice. Marking the 150th anniversary of his birth, the prominent collection traced Klimt’s use of the figure from the 1880s until his death. Digital resources from the Getty provide background on Klimt’s relationships to Symbolism and the Secession movement, his public murals, drawings, and late portraits. In 2015, the Neue Galerie commemorated the film, Woman in Gold, with an exhibition bringing together Klimt’s infamous portrait of Adele Bloch Bauer with a suite of historical material. Bauer’s portrait was at the nexus of a conversation about the return of Nazi looted art, now in prestigious museums, to the progeny of families they were stolen from during WWII. San Francisco’s de Young museum presented the first major exhibition of Klimt’s work on the west coast in 207, paiting the Vienna Secessionist with sculptures and works on paper by August Rodin, whom Klimt met in 1902. The Leopold museum celebrated the centennial of Klimt’s death and his contribution to Viennese modernism in a comprehensive survey in 2018. Also in 2018, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston and the Royal Academy of Art in London opened surveys exploring the creative influences of Klimt and his young mentee Egon Schiele through the medium of drawing. Klimt, 1917 In a series of talks in Boston in conjunction with the exhibition, Professor Judith Bookbinder spoke about the aesthetic differences of Klimt, Schiele, and Schiele’s contemporary Oskar Kokoschka.
