Rainer Ganahl: El Mundo Saturday, April 19Th – Saturday, May 24Th, 2014 Inaugural Opening Reception: April 19Th, from 7-9:30 Pm April 1st, 2014 Pre-Opening Press Release Kai Matsumiya For Press inquiries: 153 ½ Stanton Street m. 617 678 4440 New York, New York 10002 w. 646 455 3588 www.kaimatsumiya.com [email protected] Gallery Hours: Tue-Sat: 12-8pm Rainer Ganahl: El Mundo Saturday, April 19th – Saturday, May 24th, 2014 Inaugural Opening Reception: April 19th, from 7-9:30 pm Kai Matsumiya is pleased to announce its inauguration with an exhibition of Rainer Ganahl’s El Mundo. The original project, an ad hoc, classical music performance, staged at the now-defunct El Mundo discount store, encapsulates the history of an East Harlem building as it passes through diverse incarnations that trace economic, demographic, and cultural shifts on both the local and global scene. Reflecting on the event, Ganahl writes: “Many opera pieces bring us back to politics, to emerging working-class cultures in which slaves and exploited people play a role, mirroring the industrialization of Europe in the 19th century with the rather under-privileged context in which El Mundo was built and functioned in Spanish Harlem.” The exhibition reenacts the event through photographs and film and runs from, Saturday, April 19th through May 24th. The space at 153 1⁄2 Stanton Street retains the left-over remains of the former tenant, Rocksmith, which sold merchandise from the Wu-tang clan among the other hip-hop retail items. The back space is graced with a genuine graffiti tag by “Mathematics”, the producer at Wu-Tang, and other remnants. Ganahl’s El Mundo piece at Kai Matsumiya will include a film projection of the live performance, and photographs of El Mundo. Ganahl’s El Mundo was picked as one of the top ten art works of 2013 by Artforum. El Mundo follows previous exhibitions at Nicolaus Schaffhausen's inaugural exhibition at the Vienna Kunsthalle (2013) and the Triennial at Villa Merkel, Esslingen, Stuttgart (2013). A special publication with a vinyl LP by Mousse Publishing was produced for these two prominent presentations in Europe. Rainer Ganahl is a New York based artist who has been shown internationally including the Venice Biennial (1999, 2007, 2009) the Shanghai Biennial (2008) and the Athens Biennial (2013). His most previous solo exhibitions held in New York took place at Alex Zachary (2010 “Language of Emigration”) and White Columns (2013 – Commes Des Marxists). Additionally, Ganahl recently opened a solo exhibition at Hacienda, Zurich, at BCP, Shanghai, and at Cabaret Voltaire, Zurich. Ganahl is currently preparing a larger exhibition at the renowned Dutch space De Vleeshal, Middelburg and De Apple, Amsterdam. We thank the many outstanding individuals and institutions involved in the El Mundo work, including but not limited to White Columns, the musicians (Rachel Koblakov, Jeff, Siyi, Ok-Cha Lim, Ken Ikiishi), HDFC of the Lower East Side, EL MUNDO-ALL BRAND NAMES.

  • Stories and Storytelling - Added Value in Cultural Tourism
    Stories and storytelling - added value in cultural tourism Introduction It is in the nature of tourism to integrate the natural, cultural and human environment, and in addition to acknowledging traditional elements, tourism needs to promote identity, culture and interests of local communities – this ought to be in the very spotlight of tourism related strategy. Tourism should rely on various possibilities of local economy, and it should be integrated into local economy structure so that various options in tourism should contribute to the quality of people's lives, and in regards to socio-cultural identity it ought to have a positive effect. Proper treatment of identity and tradition surely strengthen the ability to cope with the challenges of world economic growth and globalisation. In any case, being what you are means being part of others at the same time. We enrich others by what we bring with us from our homes. (Vlahović 2006:310) Therefore it is a necessity to develop the sense of culture as a foundation of common identity and recognisability to the outer world, and as a meeting place of differences. Subsequently, it is precisely the creative imagination as a creative code of traditional heritage through intertwinement and space of flow, which can be achieved solely in a positive surrounding, that presents the added value in tourism. Only in a happy environment can we create sustainable tourism with the help of creative energy which will set in motion our personal aspirations, spread inspiration and awake awareness with the strength of imagination. Change is possible only if it springs from individual consciousness – „We need a new way to be happy” (Laszlo, 2009.).

  • S and Y Spieler
    SANDYSPIELER 2014 DISTINGUISHED ARTIST She changes form. She moves in between things and in between states, from liquid to solid to vapor: raindrop, snowflake, cloud. She orients. She refreshes. She transforms and sculpts everyone she encounters. She is a landmark and a route to follow. She quenches our thirst. We will not live without the lessons in which she continually involves us any more than we could live without water. TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION SHE MOVES LIKE WATER: When a MinnPost interviewer asked Sandy Spieler why she had chosen puppets as her medium, Sandy replied that “ DIVINING SANDY SPIELER HAVE NO PUPPETS COLLEEN SHEEHY 3 LIFE OF THEIR OWN, AND YET, WHEN YOU PICK THEM UP, A BREATH COMES INTO THEM. And then, when you lay them down, the breath goes THEATER OF HOPE out. It’s the ritual of life: We’re brought to our birth, then we move in our DAVID O’FALLON 18 life, then we lie down to the earth again.” For Sandy, such transformation is the very essence of art, and the transformation IN THE HEART OF THE CITY in which she specializes extends far beyond any single performance. She and her HARVEY M. WINJE 21 colleagues and her neighbors transform ideas into spectacle. They transform everyday materials like cardboard, sticks, fabric, and paper into figures that come to life. And through their art, Sandy and her collaborators at In the Heart of the Beast Puppet BIGGER THAN OURSELVES and Mask Theatre (HOBT) have helped transform their city and our region. Their PAM COSTAIN 25 work—which invites people in by traveling to where they live, learn, play, and work— combines arresting visuals, movement, and music to inspire us to be the caretakers of our communities and the earth.

  • Filippino Lippi and Music
    Filippino Lippi and Music Timothy J. McGee Trent University Un examen attentif des illustrations musicales dans deux tableaux de Filippino Lippi nous fait mieux comprendre les intentions du peintre. Dans le « Portrait d’un musicien », l’instrument tenu entre les mains du personnage, tout comme ceux représentés dans l’arrière-plan, renseigne au sujet du type de musique à être interprétée, et contribue ainsi à expliquer la présence de la citation de Pétrarque dans le tableau. Dans la « Madone et l’enfant avec les anges », la découverte d’une citation musicale sur le rouleau tenu par les anges musiciens suggère le propos du tableau. n addition to their value as art, paintings can also be an excellent source of in- Iformation about people, events, and customs of the past. They can supply clear details about matters that are known only vaguely from written accounts, or in some cases, otherwise not known at all. For the field of music history, paintings can be informative about a number of social practices surrounding the performance of music, such as where performances took place, who attended, who performed, and what were the usual combinations of voices and instruments—the kind of detail that is important for an understanding of the place of music in a society, but that is rarely mentioned in the written accounts. Paintings are a valuable source of information concerning details such as shape, exact number of strings, performing posture, and the like, especially when the painter was knowledgeable about instruments and performance practices,
