BOOK NOW: Serpentine Gallery Memory Marathon Weekend 12 – 14 October 2012 BOOK NOW: Serpentine Gallery Memory Marathon Weekend 12 – 14 October 2012 Memory Marathon 12–14 October 2012 Memory Marathon Friday 12 October 6pm – 11pm Saturday 13 October 12pm –10pm Sunday 14 October 11am – 9pm Over three days (12/13/14 October) during Frieze Art Fair Week, the Serpentine Gallery stages the Memory Marathon, the seventh annual festival of ideas inspired by the annual Pavilion commission, launched by Serpentine Gallery Director Julia Peyton-Jones in 2000. The next installment of the pioneering, multi-disciplinary Marathon series, conceived by Serpentine Gallery Co-director Hans Ulrich Obrist, will feature participations from leading artists, writers, filmmakers, scientists, architects, musicians and theorists in a continuous, performative programme of explorations and experiments about and within memory. Taking place in a geodesic dome on the lawn beside the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2012 designed by Herzog & de Meuron and Ai Weiwei, the event will mark the closing weekend of the Pavilion. The Memory Marathon follows Marathons dedicated to gardens, maps, poetry, manifestos and experiments as well as the now legendary, non-stop 24-hour Interview Marathon in 2007. Among more than 60 participants confirmed so far are Brian Eno; former REM vocalist Michael Stipe; filmmakers Amos Gitai and David Lynch, who will present a new film; historians Jay Winter and Donald Sassoon, who together will explore the theme of ‘War Memory’; celebrated neuroscientist Israel Rosenfield, who will introduce ‘The Problem of Memory’ with writer John Hull, robotics expert Luc Steels and World Memory Champion Ed Cooke; artists Olivier Castel and Ed Atkins on ‘Deception and Self-Deception’; scent expert Sissel Tolaas on ‘Sensory Memory’. Other contributors include Harvard astronomy professor Dimitar Sasselov; writer and critic John Berger; writer Douglas Coupland; poet John Giorno; writer and cultural historian Marina Warner; author and technologist China Miéville; artists Gilbert & George; architects Jacques Herzog, Pierre de Meuron and Fumihiko Maki; composer Gavin Bryars with poet and painter Etel Adnan. The three-day event begins on Friday 12 October with a thrilling five-hour performance by acclaimed Lebanese sound artist Tarek Atoui, who together with fourteen internationally renowned musicians will take audiences on a mesmerising journey through Tarab and classical Arab music recorded from the early 20th century onwards. Audiences can attend specific events – ranging from 15-minute solo presentations to 45-minute discussions or performances – throughout each day of the Memory Marathon. Or, they can immerse themselves fully in the three-day festival, during which time they will be transported on a deeply evocative journey through music, culture and history; consider the importance of memory in law and biology; learn what animal brains ‘do’ and how machines ‘think’ in the company of experts from a wide range of scientific fields; discover the impact an increasingly digitised world has on memory; learn tips on how to remember a 1,000-digit number in an hour; and experience first-hand the powerful links between the senses and memory. Including musical and theatrical performances, film screenings, discussions and participatory experiments, this three-day event will make for a fun, enlightening and stimulating experience. Julia Peyton-Jones, Director of the Serpentine Gallery, says: “The Serpentine Gallery’s annual Marathon is a central focus of our live Pavilion programme. As playful as they are intense, the Marathons are emblematic of the Serpentine as a place to explore ideas. We look forward to widening these explorations when the Serpentine Sackler Gallery opens in 2013.” Hans Ulrich Obrist, Co-Director of the Serpentine Gallery, says: “As a curator, I am constantly engaged in building memory or, as Eric Hobsbawm put it, leading a ‘protest against forgetting’. I look forward to exploring a subject that is so pertinent in an age where, as Ai Weiwei says, ‘we move so fast that memory is something we can only try to grasp’. Although we are hugely sad that Ai Weiwei still cannot travel to be with us and see the Pavilion that provides the inspiration for this year’s Marathon, his brilliant co-designers, Herzog and de Meuron, will be among a stunning array of world-leading experts exploring the subject of memory through the prism of art, history, science and technology, considering – among many other things – the suspicion that there is a kind of systematic forgetting at the core of the information age.” The Memory Marathon is dedicated to Eric Hobsbawm.

  • From 199C to 199D Liam Gillick
    FROM 199C TO 199D LIAM GILLICK MAGASIN / Centre National d’Art Contemporain École du MAGASIN June 6 - September 7, 2014 For more than twenty years Liam Gillick (born 1964, U.K.) has questioned the exhibition as a phenomenon and isolated the possible markers that could define it. These include the occupation of time, the role of the institu- tion and varied forms of collaboration. In the 1990s the most prominent of his interests questioned the dynamic relationship between artists, curators and institutions. Twenty years later he is working with curatorial students to reanimate early works from the 1990s. The first version of this process was From 199A to 199B at the CCS Bard Hessel Museum in New York in 2012. The exhibition From 199C to 199D is a completely new development that expands upon the original exhibition. Liam Gillick has worked closely alongside the students of the École du MAGASIN - Claire Astier, Neringa Bum- bliené, Paola Bonino, Giulia Bortoluzzi, Selma Boskailo and Anna Tomczak – and MAGASIN Director Yves Aupetitallot for nine months towards the reanimation of a selection of key works from the 1990s. Particular focus is upon works that articulate changes and continuities in cultural, political and social discourse over the last twenty years. The exhibition at MAGASIN expands in different way through a forthcoming publication and the official website of Session 23. A book will be published by JRP/Ringier that includes a survey of the Bard and MAGASIN exhibitions and includes essays by Paul O’Neill and Jorn Schaffaf.

    Press release April 2017 Liam Gillick Extended Soundtrack For A Lost Production Line: Ton und Film April 8 to May 20, 2017 Opening on Friday, April 7, 6 – 8 pm Maag Areal, Zahnradstr. 21, 8005 Zurich Tuesday – Friday 10-6, Saturday 11-5 and by appointment Galerie Eva Presenhuber is pleased to announce the fourth solo-exhibition by New York-based artist Liam Gillick. This is an exhibition of interruptions, secondary components and demonstrations. It both kills time and brings closer attention to the conceptual base of the artists work in recent years – namely an interest in production rather than consumption and new forms of work and life. The exhibition concentrates on works by the artist that involve sound and film. Three structures – two audio based and one video based – are sited in the gallery, each one carrying a selection of works. A control system will allow visitors to experience the content of the exhibition according to a pre-programmed timing sequence. The works will be interrupted as our attention shifts from one structure to another. The production line of the exhibition will be indifferent to the content. For the last twenty years, a lesser known aspect of the artist’s work has been his involvement with sound and video. Since the 1990s he has written and performed the soundtracks for various films, including Vicinato 2 and the films of Sarah Morris. Beginning at art school in the 1980s the artist has also produced a series of eclectic films and videos which often highlight the conceptual issues at the heart of his work.

  • Burnout: Liam Gillick's Post-Fordist Aesthetics Bill Roberts
    Burnout: Liam Gillick’s Post-Fordist Aesthetics Bill Roberts Unlike ‘postmodernism’, the term ‘post-Fordism’ is today in rude health, its currency stronger than ever in the ! elds of social and cultural criticism.1 At its broadest, it denotes the set of increasingly global socioeconomic conditions that ! rst emerged with the crisis of Fordist patterns of standardized mass production and consumption from the early 1970s onwards. Spearheaded by managerial, technological and ! nancial innovations in industrialized countries; spurred by the information and communication revolutions of the last three decades; and stabilized by the hegemony of neoliberal economic and social policy; post-Fordism imbricates the economic, the social, the political and the cultural. Perhaps most in" uentially, and though he resists the term itself, David Harvey has emphasized " exibility as the key attribute of the post-Fordist regime of accumulation, operative at the ‘micro’ level of labour processes in the factory and of! ce, the ‘macro’ levels of corporate strategy and labour supply management, and at the level of highly differentiated and constantly changing patterns of consumption.2 Flexibility is a de! ning feature of post-Fordist economies, but its logic extends beyond the purely economic, and opens onto other aspects of contemporary experience. The result is a widespread cultural logic of dislocation and disruption. These qualities are palpable in Liam Gillick’s ! fteen-minute-long projected video, Everything Good Goes (2008; plate 1 and plate 2), which depicts an artist seated in an of! ce-cum-studio, rendering a 3D computerized model of the factory set of Jean- Luc Godard and Jean-Pierre Gorin’s ! lm, Tout va bien (1972).3 The artist’s face remains unseen and a recorded voicemail message offers speculative thoughts to do with contemporary conditions of work.
