PIONEERING WOMEN FROM LUXEMBOURG MARCH 9, 2021

A PORTRAIT OF EIGHT EXTRAORDINARY LUXEMBOURGISH WOMEN IN HONOUR OF INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY

International Women's Day is celebrated on 8th March in many countries around the world. It gives us a chance to revisit their past struggles and achievements and to inspire future generations of women. It is also an opportunity to get to know or rediscover eight female pioneers from Luxembourg who have made significant breakthroughs in a wide range of fields, from entrepreneurship and education to politics, gastronomy and the arts.

Su-Mei Tse (1973-), Golden Lion of the Venice Biennale

Unsurprisingly, Luxembourg contemporary art and Su-Mei Tse go hand-in-hand. Her creations combine music, photography, sculpture, video and other art forms and, as such, it is impossible to compartmentalize her work as she regularly combines several artistic disciplines. Having trained as a classical cellist, she also studied textile and printing. She graduated from the Beaux-Arts in Paris in 2000. Her participation at the Venice Biennale in 2003 proved to be a turning point for her career and Luxembourg in the world of art, as she was awarded the Golden Lion for her exhibit Air conditioned, a truly unique exploit. Since then, she has gained international recognition: her work, which raises questions about time, memory, musicality and language, is exhibited across the globe.

A little anecdote

At the entrance of the Luxembourg pavilion at the 2003 Biennale, Su-Mei Tse installed an acoustic anechoic chamber, also called a 'echo-free chamber' as it does not reflect sounds. Some visitors cherished the peace and quiet and spent many hours in the chamber, even taking time to flick through the exhibition brochures. Others felt imprisoned by the silence. It was a truly intense experience!

Hong Kong Spotlight: Six Artists to Watch By Stephanie Bailey | Hong Kong | 24 November 2020

Showing in partnership with Fine Art Asia at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre between 27 and 30 November 2020, Hong Kong Spotlight is Art Basel's first physical presentation in 2020. Ocula Magazine highlights six artists on view among the curated booths of 22 participating galleries.

Su-Mei Tse

A classically trained cellist, Su-Mei Tse's practice has consistently explored the textures of time and perception through multimedia works that invoke at once a sense of presence and a longing for a moment in a perpetual state of passing.

Among the works included in Air Conditioned, the artist's Golden Lion award-winning Luxembourg Pavilion at the 2003 Venice Biennale, were the video projections Echo (2003) showing the artist playing a cello on a grass field overlooking the overbearing mountainside that rises up from a valley, and The Desert Sweepers (2003), in which men in janitorial uniforms use brooms to sweep sand piles at their feet in a desert.

More recently, Nested, the artist's travelling show presented at Musée d'Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean in Luxembourg, Aargauer Kunsthaus in Aarau, Switzerland, Yuz Museum in Shanghai, and Taipei Fine Arts Museum, included White Noise, a vinyl record playing on a turntable with balls caught in its grooves, and the 'Nested' series, comprising stone orbs in limestone niches.

One of these stone sculptures, Nested #1 (2016), is among the photographic and film works presented by Edouard Malingue Gallery at Hong Kong Spotlight, such as Shaping (2019), a film of hands spinning clay in and out of form accompanied by a woven mesh of sound.

New York’s Armory Show: Artwork Highlights By Sam Gaskin | New York | 2 March 2020

Moment (Rue du Pont-aux-Choux) at Peter Blum Gallery

Luxembourgian artist Su-Mei Tse creates lyrical visual fields, often incorporating sonic elements in her videos, sculptures, and installations to explore the intangible realms of memory, time, music, and language. Trained as a classical cellist, Tse's works create psychological 'nests' for fleeting moments, as seen in her touring exhibition Nested, which travelled to Mudan Luxembourg, the Aargauer Kunsthaus, Taipei Fine Arts Museum, and the Yuz Museum in Shanghai between 2017 and 2019. Moment (Rue du Pont-aux-Choux) (2019) is exemplary of the subtlety of Tse's work, the inkjet print beautifully framing sparse autumn leaves and branches that reach out from the fog and brush against a pane of glass, a rustle almost audible.

The international tour of the exhibition Su-Mei Tse . Nested arrives at Taipei Fine Arts Museum, after showing at the Musée d’Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean (Mudam) in Luxembourg; the Aargauer Kunsthaus in Aarau, Switzerland; and the Yuz Museum in Shanghai. Curator Christophe Gallois has made unique “orchestrations” of the works in response to the specific conditions of each exhibition space, to enable a poetic and meaningful viewing experience.

Born in Luxembourg in 1973, Su-Mei Tse was raised in a musical family, with a violinist father and a pianist mother, and she herself became a professional cellist. In 2003, she represented Luxembourg at the Venice Biennale, winning the Golden Lion for her installation Air Conditioned and rising to recognition in the international art world.

Each work in the Stone Collection series is unique; Su-Mei Tse created a piece on behalf of her exhibition venues, and she specially produced Stone Collection III for Taipei Fine Arts Museum. The series draws its inspiration from the Chinese tradition of “scholar’s rocks.” In the past Chinese literati would place unusual stones on their desks, to stimulate contemplation or inspiration.

Tse’s works have simple, clean forms, yet they radiate a multiplicity of meanings that can be read at different levels; she notes that they often wander through her thoughts, ruminations, references and intuition, but ultimately return to beauty and tranquility. This special quality is particularly evident throughout the exhibition.

Su-Mei Tse . Nested is on view April 20–July 21, 2019 at the Taipei Fine Arts Museum.

Luxembourg and Berlin-based artist Su-Mei Tse is showcasing her latest body of work in a solo exhibition titled “Nested” at Grand Duke Jean Museum of Modern Art (MUDAM).

The exhibition, which encompasses several mediums, such as sculptures, videos, photographs and installations, gives attention to the sonorous dimension of the world.

The exhibition is the result of several years of research in different geographical contexts, starting with Italy and Asia. It brings together a large number of the artist’s recent works and new productions, including a major installation for the museum’s Grand Hall.

Like most other artworks by Su-Mei Tse, these exhibits too oscillate between different fields: between sound and image, nature and culture, mental space and sensory experience, for example. New dimensions, however, are apparent in her work. The artist’s work delves into deep as well as uncommon subjects, such as contemplation, men’s relation to the vegetable and the mineral, the multiplicity of modes of existence, and the possibility of a sensitive relationship with the past.

The exhibition was conceived to be like a notebook — a form that fuses together everyday impressions and occurrences. Be they occurrences or visual, sounds, or simply specks of memory, the artist blends them together in a subjective and intuitive way, allowing a whole network of echoes and correspondences to be deployed.

“Nested” will be on view through March 2, 2018, at Grand Duke Jean Museum of Modern Art (MUDAM), 3 Park Drai Eechelen, 1499 Luxembourg.

“Day of Endless Time” at the Hirshhorn Delivers an Antidote to Information Overload

November 6, 2014

The average person checks his phone 150 times a day. As a population, we supposedly spend more time online than we do sleeping. Human technology and tools have historically been implemented to make our lives generally better, more efficient and more comfortable. But now it seems technology's main purpose is to endlessly seek new ways to distract us. When's the last time you got side-tracked by "click-bait"? For me it was literally just minutes ago

The premise of "Days of Endless Time," which opened at the Hirshhorn in October, is to highlight "works that emphasize slower, more meditative forms of perception," to combat a "world conditioned by the frantic, 24/7 flow of information." It might come as a surprise, then, that nearly all of the works in the show are the products of the digital tools that otherwise contribute to this information overload. This is not an exhibition that shies away from technology; on the contrary, a few of the works were entirely constructed digitally with little to no referents from "real life" objects or settings.

The show is made up of 14 works of art from 13 internationally renowned video and new media artists, using moving images to evoke themes of timelessness, solitude, and the sublime. You will not find Ryan Trecartin here. Nor will you find the tired video art formula of banal images in slow motion. The works are thankfully not all slow and somber, rather "Days of Endless Time" groups a diverse set of moving image artworks that employ technology to critically question the nature of perception and our relationship to the world around us.

These are particularly vital questions to be asking in an epoch of information overload. One of the smallest works on display, Siebren Versteeg’s Neither There nor There (2005) seems to identify the crux of our culture of constant distraction. In this real time computer program shown across two monitors, a photograph of the artist hunched over his cell phone slowly disintegrates, as streams of pixels migrate one by one over to the adjacent monitor to form a second, identical figure. This image of the artist, gazing at his mobile device, is neither present in real life, nor completely present in the virtual reality--neither there, nor there.

Su-Mei Tse, L’Echo, 2003. Courtesy of the artist and Peter Blum Gallery, New York

The interrelation between humans and the landscape is a preponderant concern in many of the works included in the show, as artists confront the magnitude of the natural world in distinctly different ways, "updating traditions of the sublime, the picturesque, and landscape," as curator Mika Yoshitake put it. In Su-Mei Tse’s L'Echo(2003), which won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Biennale and which opens the exhibition here at the Hirshhorn, the artist, a classically trained musician, plays cello perched on a grassy overlook before an impressively monolithic mountain range. The strains emanating from the stringed instrument echo from the stoic mountain in this sublime composition, made strange by the oversaturated colors of the verdant green grass contrasting starkly with the sheer verticality of the mountain.

Eija-Liisa Ahtila, when faced with the limitations of the camera in trying to represent a tall spruce tree without distortion, mounted cameras on a series of six platforms to capture the tree from its base to the tops of its branches. In the installation Horizontal(2011), the six screens show the tree horizontally, allowing the viewer to confront the tree, upturned yet still monumental, from an impossible perspective.

Likewise presenting us with an impossible landscape, the Italian duo Flatform’s Cannot Be Anything Against the Wind (2010) divides views of the Tuscan landscape into movable elements of foreground, middle-ground and background. Orchestrated to correspond to a soundtrack of ocean waves, these collaged elements actively move and shift about in opposing directions, their motions sometimes smooth and oftentimes absurd, calling to mind the illusion of stage scenery and even the animations of Terry Gilliam in his Monty Python days.

One of the most visually enticing and technically stunning works in the exhibition is David Claerbout’s Travel (1996-2013). In this 12-minute HD video, a calming, cinematic soundtrack guides us along, as the camera floats through a series of picturesque landscapes, reminiscent of atmospheric Pre-Raphaelite paintings. None of the pictures, however, are real in the traditional sense, rather they are entirely computer generated. The artist sought for the film to "search for a space that is beyond the specific,that wants to be generic." For an artist who generally avoids sound in his video installations, Travel is unusual, as the soundtrack itself--a synthesized instrumental track meant to induce relaxation--was the inspiration for this exploration into the clichéd picturesque.

A notable thread throughout the exhibition is the motif of centrifugal motion, echoing the circular architecture of the Hirshhorn itself, or perhaps pointing to the recurrence of the loop as a device to induce a meditative state--think of the rotation of mala beads in Buddhist and Hindu meditation practice, or the use of a Christian rosary in prayer. In Sigalit Landau’s intensely poetic DeadSee (2005), one watches a spiral of floating green watermelons--some with their dark red flesh exposed--slowly unravel as the artist effortlessly floats among them, until finally gliding off camera as the string of fruit uncoils in the aquamarine waters.

Rotation, or rather the resistance to rotation, is the primary conceit in Guido van der Werve’s Nummer Negen (#9) The Day I Didn't Turn with the World (2007). The work is comprised of an eight-minute, time-lapse documentation of the artist standing at the North Pole for an entire 24-hour period, shifting every few seconds to counter the turning of the earth. One watches as the artist, his shadow always before him, restlessly shifts his weight, checks his watch, and warms his hands. It's apparent that the act was excruciating rather than meditative.

While van der Werve explores the extreme isolation of the figure within the landscape, in Douglas Gordon’s Play Dead; Real Time (2003) nature is brought into the isolation of the white cube of the gallery. As a camera circles her, an enormous elephant is directed to lie on the gallery floor--to "play dead." She, too, is restless, and subsequently rises to her feet, while the camera, set low on the floor, continues to circle the giant creature. As such, the viewer is allowed to scrutinize the elephant out of context, watching her anatomy and movements from an unusual angle. It's as though Gordon is asking the viewer to simply perceive--to pause, focus, and reflect on the enormity of the video's subject. To escape from information overload, and see something so familiar, yet so alien, with fresh eyes.

Exhibits at Hirshhorn, Kreeger museums offer a break from the bustle

September 6, 2014 Philip Kennicott, writer

“The world is too much with us,” lamented William Wordsworth more than two centuries ago, and things have only gotten worse. The art world, a frenetic, fast-paced, international business, is as preoccupied by the “getting and spending” of life as any other sector. But the Hirshhorn Museum, and at least two others, will take a step back from the madness to explore different ideas about time, nature and escape. Call it a season for disconnection.

“Days of Endless Time” (Oct. 16) is a thematic look at issues that have haunted artists for centuries: solitude, the solace of the natural world and the myriad ways we have of exchanging worldly cares for realms of enchantment, if we focus on our deeper self. Included are some 14 projections and installations by a range of international artists, with an emphasis on work that is deeply immersive, meditative and temporally hypnotic. The exhibition self-consciously grapples with the frittering away of the self in an age of technology and technological distraction, with videos by Hans Op de Beeck, Sigalit Landau, Su-Mei Tse, Siebren Versteeg and others.

Tse’s “L’echo” uses the cello, and a stunning natural setting, to develop a kind of static polyphony of sound and imagery, overlapping and underscoring each other as a woman in a red dress sends the mournful sounds of a cello out into a yawning mountain chasm. Landau’s “DeadSee” depicts a woman floating on a spiral island of watermelons, which slowly unspool in a preternaturally green sea. Seen from above, the effect is surreal and engrossing, a two-dimensional riddle of color and slow, gentle motion. Op de Beeck’s “Staging Silence” creates bracingly arid landscapes of modernist design, street scapes and interiors, empty and hushed, but at the scale of a puppet theater. Hands reach in from the sides to create the illusions, which are surprisingly lyrical.

The museum describes the intended experience of the exhibition: “The galleries will be transformed into a compelling refuge where visitors enter a poetic, drifting, reflective realm akin to Jorge Luis Borges’ evocations of mirrors, labyrinths, and ‘days of endless time.’ ”

Other museums will explore related ideas, especially the natural order. The Kreeger Museum will present “Emilie Brzezinski: The Lure of the Forest,” a look back at the Swiss-born artist’s sculpture (Sept. 16). Brzezinski is known for her wood carving, which is rough-hewn yet sinuous. Working with a chain saw and ax, she coaxes wood just past its natural form, into shapes that are intentional enough to be obviously the work of the human hand yet still deeply intertwined with their natural origins.

The Smithsonian Museum of American Art will mark two pivotal anniversaries that have deeply impacted our relation to nature in this country: the century that has passed since the extinction of the passenger pigeon in 2014 and the 50th anniversary of the Wilderness Act in 1964. “The Singing and the Silence: Birds in Contemporary Art” will include work by a dozen American artists: David Beck, Rachel Berwick, Lorna Bieber, Barbara Bosworth, Joann Brennan, Petah Coyne, Walton Ford, Paula McCartney, James Prosek, Laurel Roth Hope, Fred Tomaselli and Tom Uttech.

The exhibition (Oct. 31) will include 46 different works, but it is not an Audubon-style survey of the bird as biological object. Rather, in the work of these artists, “birds are complex symbols that mirror back to us different facets of our own behavior, habits and values.

‘4 Films’ By KEN JOHNSON

JUNE 7, 2012

Peter Blum Chelsea

526 West 29th Street

Chelsea

Through June 30

Here is a challenge for fans of extremely long movies: “Modern Times Forever,” one of four entrancing motion pictures in this exhibition, goes on for 240 hours. Made by the Danish group Superflex, it focuses on a landmark Modernist building in Finland. Here rendered by digital animation, the structure is pristine at the start and slowly decays over 10 days. This represents 5,000 years of entropy.

Time is of the essence, too, in Su-Mei Tse’s “Dizziness of Life,” a hypnotic, nine- and-a-half-minute color film showing globe lights hanging from a model carousel going around and around. Set to ethereal music composed by Ms. Tse in collaboration with the composer Giancarlo Vulcano, it transports you into a vertiginous here and now with overtones of other times.

Going back in time, Luisa Rabbia’s “Travels With Isabella, Travel Scrapbooks 1883-2008,” continuously scrolls through photographs taken by Isabella Stewart Gardner of her travels in the Far East in the 19th century. Ms. Rabbia digitally excised backgrounds from the antique pictures and replaced them with skies and landscapes from her own contemporary video recordings. She also added surrealistic animations of wiggly blue lines and blobs that traverse the old photographs, all of which creates a captivating reverie of past and present.

Adrian Paci’s “Inside the Circle” is a six-and-a-half-minute, black-and-white movie of interactions between a white horse and its trainer in a round, rustic pen. The trainer, as it happens, is a remarkably attractive woman, and like the horse, she is naked. Human time dances with animal time.
