Dorothy Iannone Dorothy Iannone Air de Paris www.airdeparis.com [email protected] Dorothy Iannone, Berlin, 2009. © Jason Schmidt Air de Paris www.airdeparis.com [email protected] Dorothy Iannone was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1933. She attended Boston University and Brandeis University where she majored in Literature. In 1961 she successfully sued the U.S. Government on behalf of Henry Miller's "Tropic of Cancer", which until then was censured in the U.S., to allow its importation into the country. She begins painting in 1959 and travels extensively with her husband to Europe and the Far East. From 1963 until 1967, she runs a co-operative gallery on Tenth Street. New York together with her husband. In 1966 they live for some months in the South of France where she begins a close friendship with Robert Filliou and other artists from Fluxus. She meets and falls in love with German- Swiss artist Dieter Roth during a journey to Reykjavik and will share his life in different European cities until 1974. Two years later Iannone moves to Berlin after receiving a grant from the DAAD Berlin Artists' Program. She still lives and works in Berlin, where she pursues her artistic production. Since the beginning of her career in the 1960's, Dorothy Iannone has been making vibrant paintings, drawings, prints, films, objects and books, all with a markedly narrative and overtly autobiographical visual feel. Her oeuvre is likean exhilarating ode to an unbridled sexuality and celebration of ecstatic unity, unconditional love, and a singular attachment to Eros as a philosophical concept. She has had to frequently face censorship problems, in particular in the "Friends' Exhibition" organized by Harald Szeemann at the Kunsthalle Bern in 1969. Iannone later recreated the event in her well-known book,"The Story Of Bern". Her works narrate the artist's life in intimate detail, transforming somewhat the feminist discourse of the 1960's, by emphasizing personal freedom and spiritual transcendence through complete devotion to, and union with, a lover. The New Museum presented "Lioness", her first solo show in the United States in 2009. Her mixed media work "I Was Thinking Of You" was included in the Whitney Biennial in 2006. She has recently had major retrospectives, notably at Camden Arts Centre in London (2013), the Berlinische Galerie in Berlin (2014) and Migros Museum in Zurich (2014) . Her masterpiece and impressive installation "Follow Me" has joined the prestigious collection of Centre Pompidou, Paris. She also recently received the BZ Kultur Preis in 2016.

  • PRESS RELEASE Art Into Life!
    Contact: Anne Niermann / Sonja Hempel Press and Public Relations Heinrich-Böll-Platz 50667 Cologne Tel + 49 221 221 23491 [email protected] [email protected] PRESS RELEASE Art into Life! Collector Wolfgang Hahn and the 60s June 24 – September 24, 2017 Press conference: Thursday, June 22, 11 a.m., preview starts at 10 a.m. Opening: Friday, June 23, 7 p.m. In the 1960s, the Rhineland was already an important center for a revolutionary occurrence in art: a new generation of artists with international networks rebelled against traditional art. They used everyday life as their source of inspiration and everyday objects as their material. They went out into their urban surroundings, challenging the limits of the art disciplines and collaborating with musicians, writers, filmmakers, and dancers. In touch with the latest trends of this exciting period, the Cologne painting restorer Wolfgang Hahn (1924–1987) began acquiring this new art and created a multifaceted collection of works of Nouveau Réalisme, Fluxus, Happening, Pop Art, and Conceptual Art. Wolfgang Hahn was head of the conservation department at the Wallraf Richartz Museum and the Museum Ludwig. This perspective influenced his view of contemporary art. He realized that the new art from around 1960 was quintessentially processual and performative, and from the very beginning he visited the events of new music, Fluxus events, and Happenings. He initiated works such as Daniel Spoerri’s Hahns Abendmahl (Hahn’s Supper) of 1964, implemented Lawrence Weiner’s concept A SQUARE REMOVAL FROM A RUG IN USE of 1969 in his living room, and not only purchased concepts and scores from artists, but also video works and 16mm films.

  • Dear Reader. Don't Read
    1 Guy Schraenen Ulises Carrión Dear reader. Don’t read. The revolution engendered by access to knowledge on the Internet brings to the fore certain artistic projects of the past that seem to resonate with the present, as a kind of wake-up call or an invitation to reflect. This is the case, for instance, of the heterodox, multiform oeuvre of the artist, writer, and publisher Ulises Carrión. Right from its title, the exhibition Dear reader. Don’t read raises a paradox in the form of a negative imperative: it reminds us of the need to approach written text, literature, and hence culture as an ambiguous and contra- dictory field full of latent meanings that may perhaps even surface through their negation. The exhibition, which takes the thought-provoking form of a large exhibited—or “published”—archive, inquires into what a museum can contain, beyond traditional formats. It also explores what an art institution can do in the sense of giving voice to groups of thoughts that have been hidden by the veil of time and by the material complexity of the media in which they are expressed. The Ulises Carrión exhibition and publication are presented at a time when both the Museo Reina Sofía and its foundation are paying close attention to archives, particularly those related to Latin America’s cultural scene. Due to their very nature, these groups of units of knowledge are at risk of disappearing, either literally in the physical sense or by succumbing to oblivion and neglect, to the point where they can no longer be read or interpreted.

  • Emmett Williams, New Poetry Exponent, Reads Here
    Emmett Williams, new poetry exponent, reads here April 29, 1971 Emmett Williams, one of the major exponents of new poetry and art in America and the world, will read from his own work at 8:30 p.m., Monday, May 3, in the Art Gallery at the University of California, San Diego. While best known for his "concrete," visually-oriented poetry and as the editor of the first large-scale anthology of the "concrete poetry" movement, Williams is actually a poet and language experimenter. Much of his work has been in the exploration of new approaches to the performance of poetry. His reading at UCSD will largely consist of the presentation of what he calls "language happenings." Williams has been an active poet for nearly 25 years. His experiments have included work with computer composition, poetry clocks, phosphorescent fish poems, and "universal poems" made with rubber stamps by members of the audience. As an editor of Something Else Press he was responsible for "An Anthology of Concrete Poetry" and has edited or translated avant garde books by Daniel Spoerri, Robert Filliou, Diter Rot, Claes Oldenburg, and others. Williams' own publications include the book-length concrete poem, "Sweethearts," which consists of a series of erotic permutations of the word "sweethearts" done in the playful manner that characterizes much of his mature work. Williams was born in Virginia and has lived much of his life in France and Germany. His work has been exhibited and performed in galleries, theaters and museums throughout the world. He is currently on the faculty of the California Institute of the Arts in Los Angeles.
