Contemporary artists own words, reflecting on their lives, sources of inspiration, and working dynamically combine materials, methods, and concepts that challenge traditional boundaries and defy easy processes. ART21 films offer an opportunity to go behind the scenes and into definition. Contemporary art is distinguished by the very the studios, galleries, and public spaces where artists plan, create, and exhibit lack of a uniform organizing principle, ideology, or “-ism.” their work. In a globalized world, contemporary artists give voice to the ever-changing cultural landscape. ART21 films convey why artists make work.

    CONTEMPOARY & AFRICAN ART COLLECTION El Anatsui Old Man’s Cloth 2003 Aluminum and copper wire 192 × 216 in. (487.7 × 548.6 cm) Museum purchase, funds provided by friends of the Harn Museum 2005.37 El Anatsui has lived and worked in Nigeria since 1975. Over the past decade, he has emerged as one of Africa’s most widely acclaimed and influential contemporary artists. Anatsui has worked in several media, but he is best known for his luminous metal sculpture constructed from recycled bottle tops. Large in scale and rich in color, these “cloths” are stunning works that suggest the power and opulence of royalty. Nonetheless, the artist’s work is deeply embedded in the challenging social conditions and political realities of Africa. Anatsui’s Old Man’s Cloth is inspired in part by kente cloth, the royal and ceremonial strip-woven cloth made by the Asante and Ewe people of Ghana and Togo. Kente cloth is hand-woven into four- to eight-inch strips that are subsequently cut into smaller pieces and sewn together to form a single cloth with a unique geometrical pattern. Color and design convey specific meanings. Anatsui uses a similar process; however, the fragments that constitute his work are the flattened tops of recycled liquor bottles created by Nigerian distilleries. Names such as Chairman, Dark Sailor, and King Salomon are printed on the labels—words that evoke and relate to the history of liquor imports by Europeans from the West Indies to Africa. The bottles recall the colonial trade in slaves and commodities. Anatsui’s eye is also on the consumerist drive of globalization and economic imbalances that leave Africa in crushing poverty and its people seeking solace in drink.

  • Discovering the Contemporary
    of formalist distance upon which modernists had relied for understanding the world. Critics increasingly pointed to a correspondence between the formal properties of 1960s art and the nature of the radically changing world that sur- rounded them. In fact formalism, the commitment to prior- itizing formal qualities of a work of art over its content, was being transformed in these years into a means of discovering content. Leo Steinberg described Rauschenberg’s work as “flat- bed painting,” one of the lasting critical metaphors invented 1 in response to the art of the immediate post-World War II Discovering the Contemporary period.5 The collisions across the surface of Rosenquist’s painting and the collection of materials on Rauschenberg’s surfaces were being viewed as models for a new form of realism, one that captured the relationships between people and things in the world outside the studio. The lesson that formal analysis could lead back into, rather than away from, content, often with very specific social significance, would be central to the creation and reception of late-twentieth- century art. 1.2 Roy Lichtenstein, Golf Ball, 1962.

    Hans Ulrich Obrist A Brief History of Curating JRP | RINGIER & LES PRESSES DU REEL 2 To the memory of Anne d’Harnoncourt, Walter Hopps, Pontus Hultén, Jean Leering, Franz Meyer, and Harald Szeemann 3 Christophe Cherix When Hans Ulrich Obrist asked the former director of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Anne d’Harnoncourt, what advice she would give to a young curator entering the world of today’s more popular but less experimental museums, in her response she recalled with admiration Gilbert & George’s famous ode to art: “I think my advice would probably not change very much; it is to look and look and look, and then to look again, because nothing replaces looking … I am not being in Duchamp’s words ‘only retinal,’ I don’t mean that. I mean to be with art—I always thought that was a wonderful phrase of Gilbert & George’s, ‘to be with art is all we ask.’” How can one be fully with art? In other words, can art be experienced directly in a society that has produced so much discourse and built so many structures to guide the spectator? Gilbert & George’s answer is to consider art as a deity: “Oh Art where did you come from, who mothered such a strange being. For what kind of people are you: are you for the feeble-of-mind, are you for the poor-at-heart, art for those with no soul. Are you a branch of nature’s fantastic network or are you an invention of some ambitious man? Do you come from a long line of arts? For every artist is born in the usual way and we have never seen a young artist.

  • Press Pierre Huyghe Purple Diary, 2011
    MARIAN GOODMAN GALLERY Pierre Huyghe By Oliver Zahm and Ari Marcopoulos (2011) Pierre Huyghe is one of the most important artists to emerge out of the French scene of the ’90s. Back then his agenda was to introduce the vocabulary of cinema — casting, acting, production, editing — into an art context. Combining public performance and video projections, Huyghe presents a multifaceted visual experience that creates an existential tension between reality and fiction. I met him in New York to talk about his film, The Host and the Cloud, his 20 years of experimenting with different art forms, and his collaborations with other artists. OLIVIER ZAHM — Here we are in New York City. What’s your history with this city, Pierre? pierre huyghe — I first came here in the early ’80s, when I was 21, for an exhibition with the Ripoulin Brothers at Tony Shafrazi’s gallery. Warhol was there. I was hanging around with Keith Haring. I met Jean Michel Basquiat. It was a pretty big deal, coming into the art world this way, through this door, but it wasn’t mine yet. OLIVIER ZAHM — You’re one of the few French artists of your generation who have moved across the Atlantic. What’s kept you in New York? PIERRE HUYGHE — In the beginning it was because I was invited to do shows here. I stayed because I love this city and I found the situation in France limiting. I’ve always liked the idea of being able to lose myself, and I could no longer do that in Paris, physically, intellectually, or emotionally.

    JANINE ANTONI ANNA HALPRIN STEPHEN PETRONIO Ally EDITED BY ADRIAN HEATHFIELD PUBLISHED BY THE FABRIC WORKSHOP AND MUSEUM & HIRMER PUBLISHERS JANINE ANTONI INGESTING THE WISDOM BODY Carol Becker Such concerns and their manifestations in form bring to mind D. W. Winnicott’s seminal text Playing and Reality. Winnicott observes that children often adopt a “transitional object” — a creative solution to the originary anxiety of dependence and separation.4 In the earliest stages of development, children often create their own transitional object. It is not usually an articulated “toy” as representational as a velveteen rabbit, for example, but rather a unique condition that infants find around them and imagine into being — comforting textures such as a fuzzy bit of flannel blanket kneaded into a ball, a cord of rubber binding along the edge of a pillow, a frayed spot on the crib’s sheet. The found object is something that appeals to the child sensorially and that he or she experiences as an extension of the self, even before the child is aware of the self. As the object gains familiarity, it acquires the magical property of assuaging anxiety. Thus the child is able to sleep and play without worry, having found a creative solution to a challenging, developmental need to experience safety when apart from the mother (or the primary caregiver) and even when completely alone. Artists often are chasing after something that sometimes is also chasing after them. At As a result, the object garners the child’s total devotion. To misplace, lose, or in any way alter those moments when “the creation stands between the observer and the artist’s creativity,” it before the child is ready to permit such a transition — even by washing it and changing its it might be best, as D.

  • Jenny Holzer, Attempting to Evoke Thought in Society
    Simple Truths By Elena, Raphaelle, Tamara and Zofia Introduction • A world without art would not only be dull, ideas and thoughts wouldn’t travel through society or provoke certain reactions on current events and public or private opinions. The intersection of arts and political activism are two fields defined by a shared focus of creating engagement that shifts boundaries, changes relationships and creates new paradigms. Many different artists denounce political issues in their artworks and aim to make large audiences more conscious of different political aspects. One particular artist that focuses on political art is Jenny Holzer, attempting to evoke thought in society. • Jenny Holzer is an American artist who focuses on differing perspectives on difficult political topics. Her work is primarily text-based, using mediums such as paper, billboards, and lights to display it in public spaces. • In order to make her art as accessible to the public, she intertwines aesthetic art with text to portray her political opinions from various points of view. The text strongly reinforces her message, while also leaving enough room for the work to be open to interpretation. Truisms, (1977– 79), among her best-known public works, is a series inspired by Holzer’s experience at Whitney Museum’s Independent Study Program. These form a series of statements, each one representing one individual’s ideology behind a political issue. When presented all together, the public is able to see multiple perspectives on multiple issues. Holzer’s goal in this was to create a less polarized and more tolerant view of our differing viewpoints, normally something that separates us and confines us to one way of thinking.

  • MIT Program in Art, Culture and Technology
    MIT Program in Art, Culture and Technology The MIT Visual Arts Program (VAP) and the Center for Advanced Visual Studies (CAVS) merged in July 2009 to form the MIT Program in Art, Culture and Technology (ACT). This spring, ACT proudly celebrated its inauguration at its new home in the Media Lab complex (E14) and the Wiesner Building (E15). This new program draws on the impressive legacies of VAP (founded 20 years ago) and CAVS (founded in 1967). Focusing on the intersections of art, culture, and technology through performance, sound, video/film, photography, interrogative and eco-design, as well as experimental media and new genres, ACT’s academic and research initiatives reflect the mission of the new program, which is to operate as a laboratory based on critical studies and production, connecting artists and cultural producers with those working at the forefront of technology. ACT’s faculty, fellows, and students take an experimental and systematic approach to creative production and transdisciplinary collaboration, with the goal of furthering and disseminating advanced visual studies and research at the intersection of art, culture, and technology. The program emphasizes art that engages public spheres, the production of space, networked cultures, and participatory media while addressing such issues as the environment, gender, and social stratification. In the tradition of the founder of the Center for Advanced Visual Studies, Hungarian-born artist Gyorgy Kepes, a gifted educator and advocate of “art on a civic scale,” ACT envisions artistic leadership as initiating change and providing a critically transformative view of the world with the civic responsibility to enrich cultural discourse.
