  • 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.

  • Tracing the Interactive Relationship Between Iceland and Dieter Roth
    Exile, Correspondence, Rebellion – Tracing the Interactive Relationship between Iceland and Dieter Roth Anna Jóhannsdóttir Abstract The Swiss-German artist Dieter Roth (1930–1998) lived in Iceland for a long time and maintained a close relationship with the country throughout his life. Much of his early experimental book art was produced in Iceland between 1957 and 1964, at first under the influence of concrete art, until he shifted towards more radical avant-garde ideas and methods linked with the Fluxus movement – ideas he continued to develop through correspondence with important European artists and which he imported into the local art scene, where he was a shaping force in the 1960s and ’70s. It was love that brought Dieter Roth (1930–1998) to Iceland in 1957. Following his wife-to-be, he embarked Gullfoss, a ship named after the majestic Icelandic “golden waterfall”, and sailed from Copenhagen to Reykjavík. The young artist would eventually develop a strong and lasting relationship with the country. In fact, it is tempting to compare his impact in Iceland to a golden waterfall: Dieter, as he is usually referred to in Iceland, certainly was a fascinating flux of creative energy; a goldmine of artistic ideas and improvisational talent. When considering this relationship and exploring its interactivity, two main questions arise: how Roth’s stay in the country may have shaped his artistic work, and how his presence influenced the local art scene, in particu- lar Iceland as an arena of avant-garde cultural activity, a melting pot of experimentation. Without Dieter, contemporary avant-garde activity in the visual arts “would perhaps all have gone by unnoticed”, the artist, stage designer and influential teacher Magnús Pálsson (b.

    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.

After this introduction the concert itself began with a performance of Ben Patterson's Paper Piece. Two performers entered the stage from the wings carrying a large 3'x15' sheet of paper, which they then held over the heads of the front of the audience. At the same time, sounds of crumpling and tearing paper could be heard from behind the on-stage paper screen, in which a number of small holes began to appear. The piece of paper held over the audience's heads was then dropped as shreds and balls of paper were thrown over the screen and out into the audience. As the small holes grew larger, performers could be seen behind the screen. The initial two performers carried another large sheet out over the audience and from this a number of printed sheets of letter-sized paper were dumped onto the audience. On one side of these sheets was a kind of manifesto: "PURGE the world of bourgeois sickness, `intellectual', professional & commercialised culture, PURGE the world of dead art, imitation, artificial art, abstract art, illusionistic Page 4 [...] FUSE the cadres of cultural, social & political revolutionaries into united front & action."2 The performance of Paper Piece ended as the paper screen was gradually torn to shreds, leaving a paper-strewn stage.
