    ASIA ARTS AWARDS HONG KONG AUCTION TO BENEFIT ASIA SOCIETY THURSDAY, MARCH 23, 2017 1. Xu Bing (b. 1955, Chongqing, China; lives and works in Beijing and New York) Phoenix, 2015 Digital print on paper 15 3/4 x 18 3/4 in. (40.1 x 47.7 cm) Artist Proof 1 of 8 Courtesy of the artist Suggested value: US$1,500.00 Xu Bing is a conceptual artist whose work draws on the creative use of language, words, and text. This is a print of an original drawing of Xu’s large-scale installation of the same name made from construction debris and light-emitting diodes. Phoenixes are traditionally associated with rebirth and Xu’s interpretation may be seen as a reflection on urbanization. The artist received a BFA in printmaking in 1981 and an MFA in 1987 from the Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA), Beijing. A recipient of the MacArthur Fellowship in 1999, Xu’s artworks have been exhibited worldwide, including at the 56th and 45th Venice Biennales (2015, 1993); Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, Washington, D.C. (2013, 2001); the Victoria and Albert Museum, London (2013); The Museum of Modern Art, New York (2007); The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (2006); the Biennale of Sydney (2002); and Johannesburg Biennale (1997), among others. The artist served as the Vice President of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing, from 2008 to 2014, and is currently a professor and member of the Academic Committee at CAFA. He was awarded a Doctorate of Humane Letters by Columbia University in 2010.

  • Love Me, Love Me Not Contemporary Art from Azerbaijan and Its Neighbours Collateral Event for the 55Th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale Di Venezia
    Love Me, Love Me Not Contemporary Art from Azerbaijan and its Neighbours Collateral Event for the 55th International Art Exhibition – la Biennale di Venezia Moshiri and Slavs and Tatars, amongst selected artists. Faig Ahmed, Untitled, 2012. Thread Installation, dimensions variable Love Me, Love Me Not is an unprecedented exhibition of contemporary art from Azerbaijan and its neighbours, featuring recent work by 17 artists from Azerbaijan, Iran, Turkey, Russia, and Georgia. Produced and supported by YARAT, a not-for-profit contemporary art organisation based in Baku, and curated by Dina Nasser-Khadivi, the exhibition will be open to the public from 1st June until 24 th November 2013 at Tesa 100, Arsenale Nord, at The 55th International Art Exhibition – la Biennale di Venezia. Artists featured: Ali Hasanov (Azerbaijan) Faig Ahmed (Azerbaijan) Orkhan Huseynov (Azerbaijan) Rashad Alakbarov (Azerbaijan) Sitara Ibrahimova (Azerbaijan) Afruz Amighi (Iran) Aida Mahmudova (Azerbaijan) Taus Makhacheva (Russia) Shoja Azari (Iran) Farhad Moshiri (Iran) Rashad Babayev (Azerbaijan) Farid Rasulov (Azerbaijan) Mahmoud Bakhshi (Iran) Slavs and Tatars (‘Eurasia’) Ali Banisadr (Iran) Iliko Zautashvili (Georgia) "Each piece in this exhibition has a role of giving the viewers at least one new perspective on the nations represented in this pavilion, with the mere intent to give a better understanding of the area that is being covered. Showcasing work by these artists in a single exhibition aims to, ultimately, question how we each perceive history and geography. Art enables dialogue and the Venice Biennale has proven to be the best arena for cultural exchange." explains curator Dina Nasser-Khadivi.

  • About the Venice Biennale Art in America, Sept, 2007 by Marcia E
    About the Venice Biennale Art in America, Sept, 2007 By Marcia E. Vetrocq There have been three occasions in the history of the Venice Biennale when the nature of American cultural influence has emerged as a central issue. The first was in 1964, when Robert Rauschenberg took home the Biennale prize for painting, a recognition tantamount to Europe's official concession that the art world's center of gravity had shifted from Paris to New York. The second was 1990, when Jenny Holzer's sumptuous installation of marble inlay and LED signs in the U.S. pavilion prompted widespread grousing that the Americans, who bagged that year's Golden Lion for the best national presentation, had bought their way to Biennale hegemony. The third occasion is now, with the 52nd edition of the venerable institution having been entrusted to its first American-born visual-arts director, Robert Storr. To be sure, just one of the Biennale's three components bears the director's imprint outright: the international group show, which is divided between the "Italy" pavilion in the municipal garden, or Giardini, and the cavernous former naval facility called the Arsenale, which lies between the Giardini at the city's eastern end and Piazza San Marco. (The Italy pavilion is not to be confused with Italy's own national presentation, called the "Italian" pavilion, which appears in the Arsenale.) The Biennale's defining feature remains the tradition of showcasing national presentations. This year, the number of countries sponsoring exhibitions reached a record 76, with the 31 original pavilions erected in the Giardini representing a minority stake for the first time.

  • ENTROPY November 1, 2013 – January 4, 2014
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ENTROPY November 1, 2013 – January 4, 2014 Annika von Hauswolff The 21st Century Transitional Object, 2004 C-Print 120x150 cm, Ed. 4 Galeri Zilberman is delighted to present “Entropy”, a group exhibition curated by Vassilios Doupas, featuring new and recent work by Christoph Büchel, Maurizio Cattelan, William E Jones, Annika von Hausswolff, Kay Rosen and Frank Selby. The opening of the exhibition is on November 1 from 6 to 9pm. In thermodynamics, “entropy” is a term associated with a level of disorder within a system. Applied to cultural and political theory, entropy could be loosely interpreted as the recognition of the subversive elements or destabilizing forces in a closed system. One of these systems is the linguistic system. Comprising of a widely accepted set of rules, language is an abstract system of signs and symbols and the construction of meaning often depends on various contexts and subjective interpretations. In this sense, a seemingly rigid system can be disturbed by a minor change or a certain degree of ambivalence can effectively alter meaning. This is the case with ADD AND END in Kay Rosen’s Short Story, which consists of three words. By substituting D for N and E for A in the last sequence, Rosen creates meaning through displacement and allows for an open-ended narrative to emerge in a succinct manner. Rosen finds that the interest of the work lies in “the absence, presence, rearrangement, or alteration of these small units that disturbs linguistic sequence, revealing patterns and systems, which exceed and outperform their expected function”.

    PRESS INFORMATION Press Enquiries: Bolton & Quinn Jane Quinn, [email protected] Sim Eldem, [email protected] +44 (0) 20 7221 5000 1 2 CONTENTS: Director’s introduction – Bige Örer 4 Curatorial statement – Nicolas Bourriaud 5 16th Istanbul Biennial Venues 6 Artists’ biographies 8 Director and Curator biographies 19 About the Istanbul Biennial 20 3 INTRODUCTION BY BIGE ÖRER, DIRECTOR OF THE ISTANBUL BIENNIAL The Istanbul Biennial, launched in 1987 by the Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts, has become a fixture on the international contemporary art map and gained a reputation for its experimental and unique character. The Biennial formed a platform of interaction involving the Biennial itself, the contemporary art scene in Istanbul, and the international art community. The Biennial has served as a dynamic plane of interaction, a meeting point, and a critical site for the development of new aesthetic and political visions. In a period of increasingly rapid communication and sharing of experiences, the Biennial has become the main hub in Istanbul for the introduction, debate, and assessment of current paradigms in both the theory and practice of local, international, and transnational contemporary art. The Biennials have functioned as the trigger for transformational changes in contemporary art in Istanbul and Turkey. The Biennial has turned the lack of a permanent venue for its two-yearly exhibitions to advantage. The Biennial has made a point of selecting buildings – of curatorial significance – that make reference to certain social, historical, or urban issues and/or have special meaning in relation to the conceptual framework of the exhibition. Creating awareness for the potentiality of such spaces have led to their integration for diverse purposes of art.
