Archive Austria / Contemporary Art 7 Luciano Benetton Felix Vienna

In art all roads lead to Vienna, today as in the nineteenth century. The intellectual and artistic capital of Mitteleuropa was a melting pot of ideas and experimentation, celebrated by the philosopher Karl Popper: “Vienna really was an incredible city, characterized by unparalleled creativity. It was a fertile mixture of almost all European cultures: the regime encouraged freedom of expression and the meeting of these different traditions”.1

The Vienna of today is an aggregator of artistic experiences, a capital city that fosters culture: from the 60 thousand square metre Museum Quarter – one of the largest cultural districts in the world – to contemporary galleries, from the treasures of the Habsburgs to the riches of this architectural, musical, literary city.

Contemporary artistic experience, in particular, makes new headway Englisn everyday, even in strongholds of tradition such as the Winter Palace of Prince Eugene of Savoy, now a location for contemporary art.

In this lively present-day Vienna, fertile ground for artistic production, Imago Mundi has involved in its project international masters and established contemporary artists born in the Austrian capital, or who have studied, lived or worked here. Or who with Vienna feel multifarious affinities.

A full spectrum of painters, architects, sculptors, designers and artists. Vienna for Art’s Sake! Art’s for Vienna Personalities who have evolved along different lines, but who have in common a talent for observation and narrative, disparate viewpoints but all open to new challenges.

In diesem lebendigen, modernen Wien, wo künstlerische Produktion The artists’ search, in some cases, has gone beyond the usual gefördert wird, hat Imago Mundi in sein internationales Projekt two-dimensionality of the 10 x 12 format.

Die Herausforderung ist in unserem Fall das Format von 10 x 12 cm: Luciano Benetton ein Mikrokosmos, mit wechselnden Formen meisterhaft besetzt, intensiv und geheimnisvoll wie eine kleine Pforte in eine Dimension Felix Vienna symbolischer Werte, die der maximalen Konzentration von Zeichen, Farben und Materialien entspringen.

Ich denke, dass der Künstler auch die Miniaturisierung wählt, um zu kontrollieren und ein friedliches Bild des Lebens und der Welt zu schaffen. Um in einem kleinen Rahmen wie unserem das „Glück der Ideen” einzufangen. Le strade dell’arte portano a Vienna, oggi come nel XIX secolo. La capitale della Mitteleuropa intellettuale ed artistica era una fucina Diese 161 Werke vermitteln uns, jedes auf seine Art, dass heute trotz di idee e avanguardie, celebrata anche dal filosofo Karl Popper: der wirtschaftlichen Obsession eine kulturelle Geographie weiter “Vienna era davvero una città incredibile, caratterizzata da una existiert, die uns wieder glücklich werden lässt. Denn die Lebendigkeit creatività ineguagliabile.

Für den Schriftsteller James Joyce bedeutet Kunst „langsam und La Vienna di oggi rappresenta un vero e proprio aggregatore di genügsam und beharrlich zu versuchen, aus der grobschlächtigen esperienze artistiche, una capitale dove la cultura fa tendenza: dal Erde oder dem, was sie hervorbringt, aus Klang und Form und Farbe, MuseumsQuartier, 60 mila metri quadri, uno dei maggiori distretti [...] ein Bild der Schönheit, zu deren Verständnis wir gelangt sind, culturali al mondo, alle gallerie contemporanee, dai tesori degli herauszupressen, sie auszudrücken”.2 Asburgo alla ricca città architettonica, musicale e letteraria.

Peter Noever Exceptional Art Space

La sfida, nel nostro caso, è quella del formato 10 x 12 cm: un microcosmo cui i maestri hanno dato varie forme, intense, misteriose come porte d’accesso in miniatura a una dimensione di valori simbolici 10 x 12 cm, 3.94 x 4.72 inches! It is reduced to this format – which, at first glance, seems unacceptably small – that Dragan Zivadinov manifests the artistic program of the che nascono dalla massima concentrazione di segni, colori, materie. spaceship Vitanje and his space center in the heart of the Slovenian countryside: from this place, artists and scientists who share a Suprematist “ideology of non-objectivity” Penso che l’artista miniaturizzi anche per controllare, per darsi della are to someday embark together on a daring outer space-experiment in order to invent vita e del mondo immagini più serene. Per racchiudere in una cornice a new art form, one meant to be appropriate to the vastness of the cosmos. And for the infinite nature of its referential systems, 10 x 12 is indeed irrelevant. piccola come la nostra la “felicità delle idee”. In the case of Walter Pichler (1936–2012), who passed away far too early and was one I 161 lavori ci comunicano, ciascuno a suo modo, che al di là of Austria’s most outstanding sculptors as well as the great “refusenik,” an invitation dell’ossessione economicistica di oggi resiste una geografia culturale to participate in this project would most likely have moved him to spontaneously decline. But since he took his friendships seriously, he probably wouldn’t have left it at che può renderci più felici, perché la vivacità delle idee rende le vite, that. It might well have led to months of discussion, by no means free of emotions and singole e collettive, più ricche, feconde e degne di essere vissute. accusations – in part because he was convinced that he had succeeded in being largely independent of collectors, gallerists, the art market and the media his entire life long. Per lo scrittore James Joyce, l’arte è “cercare adagio, umilmente, “It most certainly is a task of art to break through existing boundaries” 1 – this is more than just a quotation; for Pichler, it was a statement of faith. costantemente di esprimere, di tornare a spremere dalla terra bruta o da ciò ch’essa genera, dai suoni, dalle forme e dai colori [...] Iv Toshain attacked and shattered the micro-format sent to her with a single shot. She un’immagine di quella bellezza che siamo giunti a comprendere”.2 hit her mark, here, even if this demanded a more accurate aim than her accustomed formats. The increased accuracy required of the artist by these reduced dimensions

has something like a potentiating effect on the work’s value. The artist heightens her English Ringrazio il curatore Peter Noever e gli autorevoli artisti che ci hanno attack potential commensurate with the reduction of the pictorial space; the product

La ricerca degli autori, in alcuni casi, si è spinta oltre l’abituale bidimensionalità del 10 x 12.

It inflates its way out of the strict corset of two-dimensionality to arrive at a sculptural form. Heinrich Dunst allows himself to visione delle cose fino all’ultimo, lasciandoci una piccola tela bianca; be neither hobbled nor seduced by the predefined miniature format. In an exemplary dolorosa mancanza ma, al tempo stesso, testimone da passare, fashion, he employs the genre of the panel painting to set a clear example in terms Sake!

Gunter Damisch packs into his 10 x 12 cm nearly all the material of a large-format panel painting, similarly to numerous other works that 1 likewise appear to be condensed as a consequence of reduction.

And many of these small- monstrously decorated gripper hand, while GAB/MER (Gabor Bachman & Meral Yasar) format works, in their visions and utopias, are akin to microcosms that cannot allow worked on a mutual subject: each of them produced an almost identical portrait of themselves to be limited by the dimensions of the space or the material insofar as their Luciano Benetton including an advertising display and an “attribute.” essence lies in reflecting upon, drawing on, or even shattering the boundaries of the space of production. Where Elke Krystufek used amateurish embroidery work to avoid having her object refer to or be reduced to the artistic subject of herself, and where Peter Sandbichler Several of the artists seem to have acted based on keenly context-aware decisions placed a giant version of his signature on the reverse side, the results were surprising regarding what they were prepared to give and, thereby, take.

And architect Bernhard Sommer’s simple current-voltage diagram is attached to an outsized, externally mounted And, of course, here and now – and in general – we are faced with an essential question: switching circuit for which he has supplied complicated written instructions. how free can the decision be to make art that is itself produced in a state of increasing dependency? What distinguishes the acceptance of a commission like this one from In the case of Otto Muehl, whose “melding of life and art” was perhaps the most far- other commissions that are typical today? What distinguishes (fine) art from a service or, reaching experiment possible, it was a more absolute limit that caused him, ultimately, indeed, from applied art? In a certain respect, it all boils down here to something that, not to contribute: he had accepted the invitation as an opportunity to take on a challenge though one often wishes not to believe it, does indeed illustrate the current state of art and was in the process of planning something very special when he passed away on in the here and now.

26 May 2013. And Alfons Schilling, an important exponent of action painting and a Englisn pioneer of Viennese Actionism, requested a further small canvas to be sent immediately The “refusal to pit the value of art against its price” is naturally a central concern of

Englisn prior to his death on 19 June 2013. These white canvases indeed became actual blanks, the artist. Artists give things away. They are used to giving things away. But why do but also symbols. they give things away? Why do they give gifts to the state? Artists quite often do things they wish not to do. They bow (often as a matter of survival) to the dictate of the market, Johann Georg Gsteu, despite receiving scant attention from the media, was among the gallery, the collector, and the commissioner with clear guidelines. the central forces of postwar Austrian architecture. We received his contribution shortly before he passed away on 19 August 2013. These and other premises were the true challenge for me when I was first confronted with the present project. An experiment. And a process with an uncertain outcome. Eva Schlegel maximizes her work’s vivid quality and linguistic blurring by minimizing For me, of course, it was about no less than a liberating view, opening up a new the field of visibility, with the lettering’s disintegration to the point of illegibility perspective on the actual production of contemporary art and architecture while becoming symbolic. This metaphorical work accomplishes something of a shift due to also pointing out visions.

Alcuni di questi artisti sembrano agire partendo da un’acuta e consapevole decisione Edgar Honetschläger ha dato un contributo esplosivo. su ciò che sono disposti a dare e di conseguenza a prendere. Johanna Braun, dicendo di sì, dice di no – in un paradosso che capovolge con successo le condizioni di produzione. Veramente pochi degli artisti invitati hanno rifiutato di partecipare.

Idea and Objective of the Project “Vienna for Art’s Sake! Contemporary Art after the Turn of the 21st Century”

• To extend invitations to selected artists/architects/designers who either work or live in Vienna, or who have left behind important contributions to the city.

• Conceiving of contemporary art as a unified whole: art/architecture/design as the immanent simultaneity of artistic expression. In short, an explicit interest in manifestations of our era. In art that generates a context and has the ability to penetrate society’s collective consciousness.

• An important aspect was to open up a new perspective on contemporary art production.

• To initiate a process that creates space for networks of relationships between systems of reference and of meaning, in forms both visual and verbal (aside from the usual rankings).

• All invited artists/architects/designers had the opportunity to nominate an artist/ architect/designer of their own choice, who in turn received his or her own invitation to take part in the project. This sort of process calls into question the prevailing idea of curatorial work.

• Each artist/architect/designer received a canvas in the format of 10 x 12 cm.

• The overall project initiated by Luciano Benetton – a collection of global artworks – English is philanthropic in nature and aims to provide maximum exposure for the greatest number of artists and movements within a context that is as wide and prestigious as possible.

• This represents the Austrian contribution to the worldwide art archive of the Luciano Benetton Collection.

• All works will remain part of the Luciano Benetton Collection. None of the works will be sold.

• A starting point of sorts for the project “Vienna for Art’s Sake!” was a petition initiated and organized by Peter Noever that demanded a clear commitment to contemporary art. This petition was signed by 1,651 artists/architects/designers. On 9 June 2009, Peter Sake! Art’s for Vienna Noever presented this artists’ petition to Austria’s Federal Minister for Art and Culture in the presence of 91 prominent artists including Franz West, Hans Weigand, Erwin Wurm, Hans Kupelwieser, Franz Graf, Rudi Stanzel, Herwig Kempinger, Alfredo Barsuglia, Michael Kienzer, Eva Schlegel, Elfie Semotan, Marina Faust and Zenita Komad, as well as Marie-Therese Harnoncourt of next ENTERprise, Station Rose, Georg Driendl, Thomas Feichtner, and Johanna Rainer and Wolf D.

When I see an unpainted canvas (like this teeny tiny one that’s been sent to me, as the same thing has been sent to many many others, too many) – whatever its size, I tingle, I itch, I bristle: something’s coming over me, something’s coming over me…Who needs another painting? Nobody. Painting has nothing to do with the body, it has nothing to do with space, it can never have room for somebody – any body – to be in. So pull the canvas off – pull it to kingdom come, stretch it, stuff it, stuff it back into itself till it comes through to the other side, show its true colors, its other side has another color, show it off as you twist it silly, it puffs up by itself, I didn’t do it, I didn’t touch it, it tries to be grander than it is, strain it till it reaches the opposite corner, yes, what else can it do but go from here to there, it’s going nowhere, it doesn’t get out of itself, selfish, self-enclosed, self-centered… 34 35 Uli Aigner Vito Acconci lives and works in New York, USA, and has a background in writing & art. – His performances in the early 70’s helped shift art from object to interaction.

How are space and time perceived in a daily life already divided between real and virtual? What effects are generated in our lives, actions and Gerry Ammann thoughts? I began a visual research that takes as a starting point the observation and the perception of the world outside, through the fruition of – multimedia content and virtual communication. Canvas is a portrait of an ephemeral world, defined by unstable and dreamlike appearance. In the Artist resulting kaleidoscope, the figures are isolated and fleeting appearances. The tiny reflective surfaces become a metaphor to describe the connectivity era and the aesthetic structure consciously raises questions about physicality, presence and ubiquity.

In 2009 she was artist in residence at Ein Glas Eva the Harlem Studio Fellowship by MontrasioArte, New York, USA.

In her visual research, mainly conducted through the medium of painting, IT media and installation, the expressive urgency of Elena Ascari combines conceptual rigor and attention to the study of materials in order to interrogate the observer around themes and issues such as the construction of reality, vision and ‘transmission’ of information, cognitive-perceptual filters. Among the most recent and significant exhibition projects in which she took part: solo exhibitions Cells (Harlem Studio Fellowship by MontrasioArte, New York) in 2009; Overture Act II (SanSalvatore Art Project, Modena) and Soul-Searching (Project area, Galleria Civica Modena, Italy), both of 2008.

↑ CHRISTO designed the stamp “Wrapped Flak Tower, City Map, Project for CAT, Peter Noever, Michael Embacher, Sepp Müller” for the Austrian Postal Service in 2009. An artpiece in an even smaller format: 4 x 3,2 cm. – The Mastaba will be a work of art made of approximately 410,000 horizontally stacked oil barrels secured to an inner structure. The grandeur and vastness of the land will be reflected in the dimensions of The Mastaba which will have two vertical walls, two slanted walls and a truncated top: 150 meters (492 feet) high; 225 meters (738 feet) deep, at the 60 degree slanted walls; 300 meters (984 feet) wide, at the vertical walls. Conceived in 1977, The Mastaba will have an overall surfacing of 55-gallon steel oil barrels of various bright colors (the choice of colors and the positioning have been selected by the artists). The colors, as enchanting as mosaics, will give a constantly changing visual experience according to the time of the day and the quality of the light. All barrels, on the four sides of The Mastaba and on the top, will be installed so that they are lying on their sides. The two 300 meter (984 feet) wide sides will be vertical showing the circular heads of the colored barrels. The two 225 meter (738 feet) sides will be sloping at the 60 degree natural angle of stacked barrels, showing the cylindrical sides of the barrels. The top of The Mastaba will be a horizontal surface 126.8 meters (416 feet) wide, 225 meters (738 feet) deep showing the cylindrical length of the barrels. There will be no ingress inside The Mastaba except for maintenance corridors and passageways to the service elevators. Christo and Jeanne-Claude had interrupted the work on The Mastaba when the war between Iran and Iraq worsened in the 1980s. In 2007, the artists went back to Abu Dhabi to finalize the location of The Mastaba. The proposed area is approximately 170 kilometers (105 miles) south of the city of Abu Dhabi, near the oasis of Liwa. It will be between Al Janai and Hamim, near Bid Hifayyif. In 2007 and 2008, Christo and Jeanne-Claude contracted professors of engineering from ETH Zürich (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich), University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the US, Cambridge University in the UK and Hosei University in Tokyo, Japan, to prepare feasibility studies about The Mastaba. All four teams worked independently and did not know of each other. The artists then hired the German engineering firm, Schlaich Bergermann und Partner, in Stuttgart, to analyze these reports. The Mastaba, a work of art whose only purpose is to be itself, will be on a rising plain, made from gravel, sloping gradually down away from it for approximately Conceived in 1977. Now after 750 meters (2,460 feet), to allow visitors the full impact of the uniqueness of this work more than 30 years CHRISTO is working on the realization of art, as they approach by foot, automobile, or by air. Outside that area, there will be of this project. a visitors’ complex with various facilities. 60 61 Janet Olmsted Cross Born in 1935 in Gabrovo, Bulgaria, lives and works in New York, USA. – All Matter Is Conserved Academy of Fine Arts Sofia, Bulgaria, and Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, Austria.

– When pictures inscribe themselves into other pictures, then logic is confronted with something absurd and unthinkable, like a self-containing set. And yet, this is possible. In a blue-white painting in the last room, which is part of a larger series, we can easily distinguish how two metal panels have been mounted on top of each other. The front is layered over the back, and it also protrudes on the left side. An opaque blue covers almost half of the picture, at least on the lower part. We can also see brush strokes peering out on the rear picture, but it only seems as if the painter’s brush strokes have been drawn over both panels on the right margin. It therefore seems as though the brush strokes on the lower picture support have been made independently of their later concealment. And yet again we are confronted with the question of the stain. Time enters into focus again, and as always with Dunst, so does the art of joining. This is because the state of becoming and fragility invalidate common logic. Deleuze has proven this. Dunst demonstrates it in his works: Paintings with two layers undermine the idea of a picture presenting itself as a whole – or the idea of a whole being represented by pictures. No, it is the regress that is interesting, the infinite multiplication of joints. (Vienna, Mainz, January 2013)

Mir sind seine Arbeiten zuwider. (Zuwieder würde er selbst, der seine Rechtschreibreform hinter sich hat, schreiben.) Es sind verdaute Brocken; Fossile, Tone Fink die einen ungangbaren Weg zurückverlangen würden. Jeder Einspruch bleibt auf anderer Ebene; nur Staunen ist zulässig. Er spottet jeder Bildung und – beweist, was man alles nicht wissen kann. Der Umweg des Kunstwerks, die „Nacherzählung”, ist ihm verdächtig, nur eine Vorstufe zu dem, wo man Artist hinkommen kann, nämlich Papier und einen Stein unberührt zu lassen und trotzdem ein Mensch (Künstler) sein. Dort war er vorher und ist mutwillig tonefink.at aufgebrochen. Nun ist er faßbar; aber ich respektiere eine Haltung, die die Verantwortung ablehnen muß.

Heinz Frank – Artist 102 103 Gab/mer (Gabor Bachman) Born in 1931 in Lower Austria, lives and works in Vienna, Austria. – Luciano Benetton - Designyours© Frieberger is a painter and an artist working with objects, photos and texts, as well as a jazz musician. He can be considered one of the most radical pioneers of the Austrian art scene after World War II. He was among the founders of the Vienna Art Club and was active in the Wiener Group. Since the 50s he has been producing mail-art postcards with sharp political and art-historical contents, that he sends to representatives of the (Viennese) art scene. Padhi Frieberger’s works have a sociopolitical connotation and consciously evade classification in predefined categories.

Geboren 1931 in Niederösterreich, lebt und arbeitet in Wien, Österreich.

Frieberger ist Maler, Objekt-, Foto- und Textkünstler sowie Jazzmusiker und kann als einer der radikalsten Pioniere der österreichischen Kunstszene nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg betrachtet werden. Unter anderem war er Mitbegründer des Vienna Art Club und im Umkreis der Wiener Gruppe aktiv. Seit den 1950er Jahren fertigte er collagenartige Mail- Art-Karten mit scharf politisch und kunstgeschichtlich relevanten Inhalten an, die er an Personen der (Wiener) Kunstszene per Post versandte. Padhi Friebergers Arbeiten sind gesellschaftspolitisch und zeitgeschichtlich verwoben und entziehen sich bewusst jeder 12 x 10 cm, 2013 Einordnung in Kategorien.

Frieberger è pittore ed artista che lavora con oggetti, foto e testi, e musicista jazz. Si può considerare uno dei pionieri più radicali della scena artistica austriaca del secondo dopoguerra. Tra l’altro, è stato tra i fondatori del Vienna Art Club ed è stato attivo nella Wiener Gruppe. Dagli anni Cinquanta ha realizzato con la tecnica del collage cartoline artistiche dagli acuti contenuti politici e storico-artistici, che inviava per posta a personaggi della scena artistica (viennese). I lavori di Padhi Frieberger hanno risvolti socio- politici e si sottraggono consapevolmente a qualsiasi iscrizione in categorie predefinite.

Julia Körner ha ottenuto le borse di studio Tische BMUKK Wien, MAK Schindler Los Angeles e Architektur Preis Salzburg. In the encounter between my subject matter and my materials and techniques, the role of the material, of painterly matter, is a speaking role. I paint Julia Körner with oil but also with bear scat, predator's urine, glue, coffee. Tree resin says something paint cannot; blood speaks differently than acrylic or strawberry – marmalade. I broaden the range of established painterly techniques and materials, to encompass flavor and smell, the memories that inhere in Artist substances, natural history, experimental chemistry and sympathetic magic. In this way the concept of landscape painting expands, so that subject juliakoerner.com matter becomes medium. The pieces range in format from drawings and paintings to small sculptures to sculptures of land-art dimensions.

Their work includes many different projects (submitted into national / international competitions), exhibition design, installations and architecture and explores the paths of a critical minimalism and a basic abstraction, which are both quite close to conceptual art. With an approach that both strips down and intensifies the modernist vocabulary, Pauhof is seeking a real formal independence of the architectural object. This object is released from any kind of stylistic, historical and contextual reference as well as heteronomous determination, and as such it becomes just architecture.

Michael Hofstätter und Wolfgang Pauzenberger gründeten 1986 das Architekturatelier PAUHOF in Wien, Linz und Berlin. Ihr Werk umfasst zahlreiche Projekte (u.a. eingereicht bei nationalen/internationalen Wettbewerben), Ausstellungen, Installationen und Architekturen und erkundet die Pfade eines kritischen Minimalismus und einer grundlegenden Abstraktion, die beide auf die Konzeptkunst verweisen. Mit einer Herangehensweise, die das Vokabular der Moderne streift und diese noch forciert, sucht PAUHOF eine genuine formale Unabhängigkeit vom architektonischen Objekt.

Michael Hofstätter e Wolfgang Pauzenberger hanno fondato nel 1986 lo studio di architettura PAUHOF a Vienna, Linz e Berlino. La loro attività comprende molteplici progetti (presentati tra l’altro a concorsi nazionali ed internazionali), mostre, installazioni e progetti architettonici, e sonda i sentieri di un minimalismo critico e di una astrazione basica, entrambi molto vicini all’arte concettuale. Con un modo di procedere che sfiora e al contempo intensifica il vocabolario modernista, Pauhof è alla ricerca di una vera indipendenza formale dell’oggetto architettonico. Questo oggetto è liberato da qualsiasi tipo di riferimento stilistico, storico e di contesto e di determinazione esterna, e diventa Michael Hofstätter & così, semplicemente, architettura. Die letzten Dezennien des 20. Jahrhunderts waren in der Gesellschaft eigenartig, Wolfgang Pauzenberger heiter und traurig zugleich. Im 21. Jahrhundert warten wir auf eine lustvolle Weiterentwicklung. – Architects pauhof.at

The condensing and configuration of raw materials like iron, wood and textiles gives sculptural qualities to Stephanie Rauch’s artistic works where the confrontation with space is crucial to show the connection between body and object. She develops her works within the frame of the fine arts as well as for stage settings, and makes this intersection the crucial point of her reflection.

La condensazione e configurazione di materie (prime) come il ferro, il legno ed i tessili porta nell’opera artistica di Stephanie Rauch a installazioni scultoree dove il confronto con lo spazio è cruciale per mostrare la connessione tra corpo ed oggetto. L’artista sviluppa le sue opere nel contesto delle belle arti, ma anche per setting scenografici, e fa di questa intersezione il punto cruciale della sua riflessione.

Constanze Ruhm 21 June 2013 12:30 To: Yuki Higashino

Dear Yuki,

your idea is great, and the text to the point. I was reminded of my assistant relationships with artists when I was your age (or a bit younger). These were Matt Mullican and Dara Birnbaum, as I have once told you. As well I was working for Peter Weibel, but this was different as he was also my professor at that time. When I was assistant to Dara and Matt, I was a student at Staedelschule, around the early 1990s, and it just crosses my mind that there is a parallel and a nice transposition as this is the school where you studied with Simon Starling before you moved to Vienna.

Constanze Ruhm ist Künstlerin, Filmemacherin und Kuratorin. Sie lebt in Wien, Österreich, Things were quite different at that time. Staedelschule had a quite large budget that not only allowed for them to pay und Berlin, Deutschland. Ihr Vizsla Hund Janosch ist ein zurzeit arbeitsloser Jagdhund und for quite luxurious student apartments, they also gave jobs to us such as assisting to foreign artists who were hired lebt in Wien und Berlin. from a special fund to teach for one semester or two (I remember that also Dan Graham was there for one semester, but most of the time he was hiding in his apartment). So my relationship with those artists was not as ours, as a friendship which initiated in a chance meeting after a symposium and an ensuing conversation on (spoiled) dogs, but it was institutionally originated and framed. Particularly in the case of Matt Mullican it was a very traditional artist/assistant relationship which was mainly based on the fact that I had technical skills that were helpful for the production of his work at that time: complex virtual 3D-­environments which I constructed based on his detailed instructions.

I recall that once I took an artistic "liberty" so to say, bypassing Matts instructions, by hiding a virtual 3D-­beer bottle in one of the drawers in one of the buildings of the Mullican-­world. If someone would once re-­evoke, or re-­activate this environment (light boxes of views of the environment where exhibited at Galerie Metropol in Vienna in 1992), it might be possible to find this bottle, a sign or signature, or both, of Matt's assistant at that time: me. 12 x 10 cm, 2013 – And: I don't think that I can write anything from the perspective of an employer, because I don't feel that I am an Inkjet on canvas employer. Inkjet auf Leinwand In order to be an employer I would need to follow at least some protocols of relating to an employée, and clearly I don't because I don't consider you an employée. Stampa a getto d’inchiostro su tela And that is perhaps the most exploitative and colonial relation that employers (who don't see themselves as employers) have with employées (who they don't consider to be employées.

So as you rightfully point out, the question of work, and of what work is, and how the complicated shifts between artistic production, precarious occupation, and simply friendships and artistic relations, is at stake -­ of which our relation is a perfect example.

What do you think? Let's discuss further. And do you have any idea of how to print something onto this small canvas?

take care,

Dear Constanze,

Yes, it totally escaped my mind that you were at Staedel and worked as an assistant to all those artists. It is certainly a very relevant story for our discussion. I find it quite fascinating the ways in which one can find an echo of works by former teachers/bosses in a younger artist' practice, even when the relationship is strained. There are certainly elements from Simon or Florian's s practice in my work, and I believe there are things you can trace back to Birnbaum or Mullican in your practice. Many artists simply a do not t lk about it, which I think make their works not very self-­reflexive, and other artists, most notably the former Kippenberger assistants, make their careers out of it. In any case, it is an interesting issue which I am trying to address at the moment with my own works. I really really like the story of your beer bottle in a Mullican piece! It instantly reminded me of the story of young Alexander McQueen sewing 'I am a cunt' into the lining of a jacket for Prince Charles when he was working as an apprentice at a Savile Row tailor (the story is apparently not true but it is still a good story). I think it's important that you are pointing out the necessity of institutional frameworks for the informal economy thatr is ou , and most other artist-­assistant, kind of working relationship to take place. It's true that we met by chance on a dinner table, but it was a Generali dinner which is very specific. The fact of one being invited to such dinner already communicates many levels of social standing, artistic position, etc. I don't think it is necessary a bad thing, nor is specific to the art context. That is basically how what Hannah Arendt called the Social Realm, that is semi-­public and semi-­private where things like tastes and friendship are regarded as legitimate criteria for evaluation, functions. (By the way, I think her analysis that today, the social has monopolised human activities and erasing the important distinction between labour, work and action is truly prophetic). I agree that an employer not seeing him/herself as an employer in relation to the employee is potentially the most exploitative and 280 colonial position he/she can take. That's not the case for us though, because when there's money involved, we keep it strictly 281 professional (I write invoices). But what is complicated in not just ours but any other artist/assistant relationship is that by default, the assistant and the artist are also colleagues. It can easily happen that they are both included in the same group show (like what's happening in a small scale with this canvas thing), and what the assistant-­artist does could be seen as equally valid artistically as what the boss-­artist does. I think this is what makes it difficult to analyse artist-­assistant relationship purely in terms of economy. And thanks for the animal book quotes. Very interesting. Well, I don't know about other animals, but I can tell you for sure that Janosch does not work :-­) Contract and legal framework of labour in art is also a complex issue. The general absence of contract in the art world also varies from totally disgusting (unpaid interns) to truly fruitful (assistant becoming a creative partner while getting adequately paid).

P.S.

Constanze Ruhm 21 June 2013 13:26 To: Yuki Higashino Dear Yuki:

Janosch is really a very specific case... but the fact that he doesn't work is my fault, as in fact, he is a working dog: a hunter. I keep him as a companion though, not a hunter. Other than that, here are some quotes on other animals though -­ from the book I mentioned. I really like them, so I thought you'd be interested:

"An animal "in front of the gate of the law": does it stand at this or that side of the gate? According to Derrida and Agamben, the animal, and the sovereign as well, are apparently outside the law. Thus, Agamben's animal can be described in terms of a bare life, that is, contrary to the human, it cannot be sacrificed, but it can simply be killed, slaughtered without ceremony. But I would like to point out that this is not the eternal condition of animality. (...)" (History of Animals, Page 30)

And here a really incredible finding on animal trials:

"Animals that were tried individually included pigs, cows, bulls, horses, mules, oxens, goat, sheep, dogs and others. Following execution, animals were usually buried, or hanged, or decapitated. However, animal trials did not necessarily end up with imposing the death penalty. In Austria, in 1712, a dog reportedly bit a member of the municipal council in the leg. The dog was tried and sentenced to one year in the Narrenkötterlein, which was "a sort of pillory or iron cage standing on the market place, in which blasphemers, evil-­livers, rowdies and other peace-­breakers were commonly confined." (History of Animals, Page 40)

...

Constanze

PS Nevertheless, in order to close the full circle, I need to mention that Matt Mullican and Janosch have met last year in Berlin, at the occasion of the opening of Ute Meta Bauer's exhibition THE FUTURE ARCHIVE at Neuer Berliner Kunstverein. They quite liked each other.

Hubert Schmalix’ paintings were seen as an energized, expressive reaction to the dry, intellectual art climate of the late 1970’s that had decided that painting was totally obsolete. A long time Los Angeles resident, Hubert Schmalix, who moved to the city in 1987, continues to pursue painting’s big questions and its classical themes: landscapes, still lifes and nudes.

Das Werk des Österreichers Hubert Schmalix wurde erstmal in den frühen 80er Jahren innerhalb der sogenannten „Neuen Wilden” bekannt. Hubert Schmalix’ Malerei wurde als eine energische, ausdrucksvolle Reaktion auf das trockene intellektuelle Klima der Kunstwelt der späten 70er Jahre betrachtet, die beschlossen hatte, dass Malerei völlig überholt war. Hubert Schmalix siedelte 1987 nach Los Angeles über und von dort aus setzt er seine Forschung über die großen Fragen der Malerei und ihre klassischen Themen fort: Landschaften, Stilleben und Akt.

L’opera dell’austriaco Hubert Schmalix è diventata nota inizialmente nei primi anni Ottanta nell’ambito della cosiddetta “Neue Wilde”. La pittura di Hubert Schmalix veniva considerata come una reazione energica ed espressiva all’arido clima intellettuale del mondo artistico dei tardi anni Settanta, che aveva deciso che la pittura era assolutamente obsoleta. Hubert Schmalix si è trasferito nel 1987 a Los Angeles e da lì ha proseguito la sua ricerca sulle grandi questioni della pittura e dei suoi classici temi: paesaggi, natura morta e nudi.

My artwork is directly connected with everyday life. The tomato – for example. Whether you research tomatoes, weather forecasts or the trade routes Kamen Stoyanov of feathers as an accessory for hats: a connection emerges between the micro- and macro-sphere, between the known and the unknown, historical – and modern situations, your very own domestic home and political, economic, ecological interrelations. What usually is an abstract and oversee-able Artist – everyday procedure is transferred to a personal and demonstrative level. Dealing with everyday objects leads me right in the center of current and explosive economic and political dilemmas.

Josef Trattner has worked with foam as a medium since 1990. From 1994 he has been employing this material to realise projects in public spaces. The essential characteristic of Trattner’s works is the superimposition of immanent aspects of art – the relationship of materiality, form and colour to interior and exterior spaces – with social enquiry. His works have been exhibited, among others, in the Secession, Vienna, MAK, Vienna, Künstlerhaus Wien, Vienna, Neue Galerie, Graz (Austria), MuseumsQuartier, Vienna.

Under Pressure – C.C.P. Joep Van Lieshout A glass egg nudges against the wall of an iron cage. Its oval transparency contrasts starkly with the rigid structure. It wants out, putting pressure – on the cage that restricts it yet simultaneously places it in an exceptional position. Museums were meant to move art into the public sphere; Artist now they must embed the public space into art. The system is put under pressure and questions its position in society. Art, like the egg, is ateliervanlieshout.com always looking for the right place and time to hatch. It needs air, light and warmth. It needs the world. 346 347

Central to Koen Vanmechelen’s work is the chicken and its ancestral species, the Red Junglefowl. He gained worldwide notoriety with his Cosmopolitan Chicken Project (CCP), a chicken-breeding conceptual art project. Together with his two other cosmopolitan projects/foundations, CosmoGolem and The Walking Egg, The Cosmopolitan Chicken Research Project (CC®P) forms Koen Vanmechelen’s artistic triad, which is an investigation of and an ode to the beautiful diversity and hybridity of life. Koen Vanmechelen often collaborates with scientists and uses innovative technologies such as 3D-scanning, morphometrics, 3D-printing and interactive 3D visualisation.

Fulcro del lavoro di Koen Vanmechelen è il pollo e la sua specie ancestrale, il gallus gallus. L’artista è diventato famoso in tutto il mondo grazie al suo Cosmopolitan Chicken Project (CCP). Con questo si intende un progetto d’arte concettuale, che poggia sull’allevamento dei polli. Assieme ad altri due progetti/fondazioni (CosmoGolem e The Walking Egg), questo progetto forma il Cosmopolitan Chicken Research Project (CC®P), la triade artistica di Koen Vanmechelen, che è una ricerca ed un inno alla bellezza dell’essere Koen Vanmechelen diverso e ibrido.

In Giulio Zanet’s work, images selected in the internet and in magazines undergo a process of post-production that reworks forms and stories through a narrative and analytical lens, so that they seem to be suspended between the visionary and the real.

In seinem Werk sucht Giulio Zanet Bilder im Internet und in Zeitschriften aus, die dann einer tiefen Postproduktion-Bearbeitung untergehen. Dadurch werden Formen und Geschichte analytisch und erzählerisch interpretiert und sehen so aus, als ob sie zwischen der Ebene des Visionären und der des Reellen schwebten.

Each of these artists has created an artwork whose only limitation is the 10 x 12 cm format, contributing to the composition of a surprising artistic geography. The collection, hosted by the Fondazione Benetton, has no commercial aspirations, but instead aims to catalogue the works and ideas in order to pass on to future generations – by means of catalogues, exhibitions and a specific web platform – the widest possible mapping of human cultures at the start of the third millennium.
