  • Kunsthalle Bern Is Jutta Koether's First Major Solo Exhibition in Switzerland, Showing an Extensive Selection of Her Work Since the Mid-Eighties for the First Time
    Jutta Koether Änderungen aller Art 20 January – 11 March 2007 press release Jutta Koether is one of the central figures in contemporary painting. Yet she is more than just a painter. She is also a performance artist, musician, writer and theoretician. Her role as an artist was long reduced to being regarded as a feminist response to the Cologne scene of the late 1980s. With her translucent color fields, the gestural brush stroke, drawings of female bodies and the lyrical appropriation of poetry and art history, she frequently seems to assume positions in contrast to artists such as Martin Kippenberger, Sigmar Polke and Albert Oehlen. As critic and editor of the music and pop culture magazine Spex and as performance artist and musician, however, Koether did not fit the typical image of the art scene of that time. Since the start of her artistic career Jutta Koether has sought to make expansion her program. At the same time, it has always been important to her not to take an unequivocal role as an artist, but always to work from several positions. Since coming to New York in the 1990s, she moves in an expanded field of experiment and improvisation, literature and theory in the New York scene. Cooperation with musicians like Tom Verlaine (Television) or Kim Gordon (Sonic Youth) often provides her with more important inspiration than the work of other visual artists. It is specifically through these apparent detours and alternative forms of energy that she has created a kind of free space for herself, which enables a reevaluation of the medium of painting and its potential that is so urgently needed in today's situation.

  • Sean Scully, 1945 —
    Sean Scully, 1945 — Sean Scully (b. 1945, Dublin, Ireland) is an American-Irish artist who is internationally recognised for his distinctive abstract compositions that interrogate the properties of light, colour and form. Scully studied painting at Croydon College of Art, London and Newcastle University, UK, where he began to work in abstraction. During a trip to Morocco in 1969, Scully was strongly influenced by the local textiles and rich colours of the region, which he translated into the broad horizontal stripes and deep earth tones that characterise his mature style. Scully’s travels throughout Morocco and Mexico would also prompt his decision to move from Minimalism to a more emotional and humanistic form of abstraction. Following fellowships in 1972 and 1975 at Harvard University, Scully’s paintings became increasingly monumental and sculptural, consisting of interconnected three-dimensional panels that anticipated his later sculpture practice. In 1984 he began to develop the Wall of Light series, replacing the precise stripes of his early paintings with solid blocks of colour, built with increasingly loose and feathered brushstrokes into vertical and horizontal ‘bricks’ that suggest a wall of stone. Subtle differences in colour in the paintings indicate the location in which they were created, the changing seasons and the artist’s own emotions. This series formed the subject of a major touring exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York in 2007. In 1984 Scully achieved international breakthrough through his inclusion in the major group exhibition An International Survey of Recent Painting and Sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art, New York.

  • Pop As Translation
    “In Case of Misunderständig, Read On!” Pop as Translation Eckhard Schumacher In an essay with the strange, ostensibly misspelled title “Wort Auf!” Diedrich Diederichsen, one of the most in›uential pop music critics since the early 1980s, relates an anecdote that could be regarded as a prototypical model for the self-guided introduction of German-speak- ing youngsters to a foreign language: When my brother and I were four and six respectively, we met in front of the radio every Sunday to listen to the hit parade, as if it were a revelation, even though, of course, we couldn’t understand a word the Beatles sang. Still, we had to give the songs names, had to get our lips and tongues to form something when we sang them. So a kind of English came into being that had absolutely no meaning whatsoever, or at least, it consisted of a few intelligible words—after all, you learn pretty quickly at that age—and lots of nonsense words. Sometime later, when we started learning English as a totally normal foreign language, we couldn’t get rid of our own version; we could already speak a kind of English, which a second one could never equal. At some point, I could translate a Dylan song, but I already knew it by heart and enjoyed the linguistic effects, which I loaded with half-knowledge, paranoid interpretation, and desire.1 Diederichsen’s anecdote precisely points out “the great advantage and the great peculiarity”2 Germans experience when they hear Anglo- American pop music and its lyrics.
