Design www.naroska.de Larry Clark Adolescent beauty, sexuality and drug-induced action – Larry Clark radically and realistically documents the everyday life of US teenagers, transgressing bourgeois moral concepts. From the drug scene in his hometown of Tulsa in the early 1960s to contemporary skaters in Los Angeles his works capture extremely intimate moments. The authenticity of Clarke’s images expose the consequences of a dysfunctional society and question the social responsibility and moral stance of its members. The revolutionary and unique aspect of his photographs is – to this day – the closeness and intimacy between him and the documented persons and situations. As opposed to a classical photo-journalist who views an unfamiliar world from the outside, Larry Clark does not only take an interest in the life of his protagonists. Far removed from any form of voyeurism, he himself is a fundamental part of the scene he photographs. It seems as if he has a familiarity with the persons portrayed rather than just observing them. Without Larry Clark, photography would not have freed itself from the constraints of objectivity. Hardly any other photographer has ever achieved the same degree of intensi- ty with which he immerses himself in his subject. It is here that the artist revives his own youth – each time with new protagonists. Larry Clark uses a direct visual language that is both touching and disturbing and creates a fascinating dynamic between classical pictorial composition and a special choice of themes. His work focuses on the experience of a completely uninhibited sexuality. By exposure it, the artist never denounces or accuses but allows the viewers to make their own judgement. C/O Berlin will present for the first time in Germany approx. 200 works of Larry Clark. In addition to his series “Teenage Lust” and “Los Angeles”, as well as videos, the main focus of the monographic exhibition is on collages, in which the artist combines found objects. In a similar way to a film or photo series, new associations and implications are created by supplementing the collages with newspaper cuttings, letters, posters and other objects. C/O Berlin will issue an exclusive publication on the occasion of the exhibition. Individual art works in this exhibition might offend your moral sensibilities.

He gained his first experience of photography during his schooldays when he helped his mother portrait children. Between 1961 and 1963 he completed his studies in photography at the Layton School of Art in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. From 1964 to 1966 he was a soldier in the Vietnam War. From the beginning of the 1960s he documented the life of his friends in Oklahoma. He published the subsequent photographs, which received worldwide acclaim, in 1971 with the title “Tulsa”. In the next series, “Teenage Lust” from 1983, he once again focused on the theme of sex, drugs and violence among teenagers. Following this, Larry Clark continued to photograph teenagers, however in the less documentary form of portraits – the series “The Perfect Childhood” (1989-1992) testifies to this creative period. Since the 1990s he has produced films such as “Kids” (1995), “Another Day in Paradise” (1999), “Bully” (2001), “Ken Park” (2002) and “Destricted” (2006). His work has been exhibited in institutions worldwide, including the P.S.1 / MoMA in New York, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, The Photographers’ Gallery in London, the International Center of Photogra- phy in New York and Musée d´Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris. Larry Clark lives and works in New York. Larry Clark C/O Berlin . Oranienburger Straße 35/36 . 10117 Berlin-Mitte . Telefon +49.30.28 44 41 60 . Telefax +49.30.28 44 41 619 . [email protected] . www.co-berlin.com Media Transformer By Felix Hoffmann . Curator C/O Berlin 1. Is the medium the message? In 1967 Marshall McLuhan published the book The Medium is the Message. After first challenging the medium, he advocates its relevance as a message carrier: it is not the respective “content” and the practicality of the media that is decisive but rather the choice of media also influences and shapes the way human beings live together: in the 20th century, records prompted a completely new form of social cooperation – in a very different way to the live concerts, which could not be recorded until the beginning of the 20th century. The fact there is no longer a need for physical sound storage mediums in the 21st century has allowed music to become a cons- tantly available cultural commodity that can be distributed without a carrier medium. Each thing – even the diamond stylus, which traces the grooves of the round, black vinyl – is its own posit, which is not structured according to the content but according to the type of media: a record differs from an mp3-player not only because the music is stored and distributed in a different way but also above all because of the mobile aspect. In photography, new developments, pleasure in experimentation and innovation have always been communicated in the form of books. The history of the medium of photography in the past 90 years makes it evident that books not only serve to illustrate, or contribute to the dissemination of a photographic work, but represent an autonomous me- dium. The way in which pictures are sequenced to form a narrative allows an autonomous interpretation to develop between two covers of a book, creating new visual levels of meaning. 2. Larry Clark’ career also began very suddenly in 1971 when his first book of photographs, Tulsa, was published. In this book he compiled visual material from the period between 1963 and 1971. The portraits, snapshots, filmstrips and a few, brief sentences or comments create an unusually compact work, which made a huge impact on the art scene. The portrait-format book, with only 62-pages, was issued by the publishing house founded by Ralph Gibson, Lustrum Press. From the perspective of the participating viewer, it highlights a particular social group of youths and young adults, who had never been documented on photos in this way previously.

    G A G O S I A N G A L L E R Y July 24, 2014 EXTENDED! UPDATED PRESS RELEASE GAGOSIAN GALLERY 821 PARK AVENUE T. 212.796.1228 NEW YORK NY 10021 E. [email protected] HOURS: Tue–Sat 10:00am–6:00pm SUMMER HOURS (Through August 29): Mon–Fri 10:00am–6:00pm HARMONY KORINE: Shooters Through Tuesday, July 29, 2014 Gagosian New York is pleased to present “Shooters,” an exhibition of recent paintings by Harmony Korine. From Kids (1995), a meditation on New York City youth, to Spring Breakers (2012), a contemporary film noir in which four college freshwomen are drawn into a murderous labyrinth of events, Korine’s films of the past twenty years merge reality with fiction and shaky “footage” with precise editing, holding viewers’ attention to the split second and thereby suspending disbelief. His heady mix of the unplanned, the seductive, and the outlandish crystallizes in his lesser-known paintings. Bypassing brush and art paint in favor of squeegees, leftover household paint, and masking tape, he creates loosely sequential images that echo the sonic and visual leitmotifs of his films. In Starburst paintings, he sticks overlapping segments of masking tape to the center of an unprimed canvas, then uses a broom to spread primary red, yellow, and blue dyes over the surface. The tape is removed to reveal bright, irregular stars shining through colorful mists; the final compositions are characterized by a spontaneous, explosive radiance. Loop Paintings are the result of a process somewhat related to filmmaking: Korine cast young men and women, made them up as elderly people, and photographed them in alleyways.

The Piper-Heidsieck tribute to independent vision went to actor/director Tim Robbins, and a major retrospective of the works of German New-Wave giant Rainer Werner Fassbinder was staged, with many of his original actors fl own in for forums. It was a fi tting tribute to both Fassbinder and the Festival and the ways that American independent cinema was indeed becoming international.

    What Killed Australian Cinema & Why is the Bloody Corpse Still Moving? A Thesis Submitted By Jacob Zvi for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the Faculty of Health, Arts & Design, Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne © Jacob Zvi 2019 Swinburne University of Technology All rights reserved. This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. II Abstract In 2004, annual Australian viewership of Australian cinema, regularly averaging below 5%, reached an all-time low of 1.3%. Considering Australia ranks among the top nations in both screens and cinema attendance per capita, and that Australians’ biggest cultural consumption is screen products and multi-media equipment, suggests that Australians love cinema, but refrain from watching their own. Why? During its golden period, 1970-1988, Australian cinema was operating under combined private and government investment, and responsible for critical and commercial successes. However, over the past thirty years, 1988-2018, due to the detrimental role of government film agencies played in binding Australian cinema to government funding, Australian films are perceived as under-developed, low budget, and depressing. Out of hundreds of films produced, and investment of billions of dollars, only a dozen managed to recoup their budget. The thesis demonstrates how ‘Australian national cinema’ discourse helped funding bodies consolidate their power. Australian filmmaking is defined by three ongoing and unresolved frictions: one external and two internal. Friction I debates Australian cinema vs. Australian audience, rejecting Australian cinema’s output, resulting in Frictions II and III, which respectively debate two industry questions: what content is produced? arthouse vs.

Green ii Abstract Released in 1971, Tulsa, American artist Larry Clark’s career-launching first photobook, is today remembered as marking a watershed moment in American photography. This paper travels back to the era that Tulsa was first published to examine the book’s initial critical reception and significance within that specific cultural and artistic climate. It presents an abbreviated overview of Tulsa’s gradual creation; illustrates the ways in which the book was both similar to and different from other commonly cited contemporaneous works; and surveys its evolving status and reputation throughout the 1970s and into the early 1980s, when its second edition was published.

Zombies were born a decade later, but the horror genre flourished anew in the freedom-loving 1970s. It is in this sequence that the Canadian documentary Why Horror? (2014), through a story about the social acceptability of a movie fan, tries to speak about what is at the same time the universal question of that part of film history: why we are afraid and why we like to be frightened even more. The aforementioned film offers a warm American story about how confronting our primordial and unconscious demons is precisely the way to counter those fears bravely and directly. What it lacks, however, is something that, in the art of filmmaking, has been maturing for a long time and in detail, something for which the origin of the horror genre is just the inspiration, and which manifests itself even more potently in Gaspar Noé 198 oris, broj 96, godina 2015. oris, number 96, year 2015 gaspar noé, Film gaspar noé, Film 199 Kadrovi iz filma Ulaz u prazninu, 2009.

    art press 333 interview Larry Clark l’œil du cyclone Interview par Raphaël Cuir Il y a presque un an, était présenté au Festival de Cannes, Destricted, programme de sept courts métrages signés par Marina Abramovic, Matthew Barney, Gaspar Noé, Richard Prince, Marco Brambilla, Sam Taylor- Wood et Larry Clark. Il s’agissait de répondre à l’incitation des producteurs, Mel Agace et Neville Wakefield : aborder la sexualité «de facon explicite», autrement dit, brouiller la frontière entre art et pornographie. Ce programme sort maintenant en salles en France (le 25 avril) et bientôt en DVD (en octobre). Bonne occasion pour réaliser notre vieux rêve de rencontrer Larry Clark, il faut dire, le plus explicite de tous (1). Les images de la série Tulsa (1963-1971) ne sont peut-être plus aussi subversives qu’il y a une quarantaine d’années. Pour autant, elles n’ont rien perdu de leur intensité. Cette violence, Larry Clark dit qu’il faut en payer le prix, c’est-à-dire le prix émotionnel. C’était autrefois le retour du refoulé, l’autre face du rêve américain dont certains, certaines, ne sont pas revenus. C’est encore, aujourd’hui, ouvrir «en entier la nature humaine à la conscience de soi !» (G. Bataille). «On ne peut pas savoir ce que peut le corps» (B. Spinoza), il faut chercher, et nous n’avons pas fini d’être étonnés (F. Nietzsche : «L’étonnant c’est le corps.»). L’adolescence est un des moments privilégiés de cette quête avec la découverte des nouvelles possibilités qu’offre la maturité corporelle.
