Art and Vinyl — Artist Covers and Records Komposition René Pulfer Kuratoren: Søren Grammel, Philipp Selzer 17 Art and Vinyl — Artist Covers and Records Komposition René Pulfer Kuratoren: Søren Grammel, Philipp Selzer 17. November 2018 – 03. Februar 2019 Ausstellungsinformation Raumplan Wand 3 Wand 7 Wand 2 Wand 6 Wand 5 Wand 4 Wand 2 Wand 1 ARTIST WORKS for 33 1/3 and 45 rpm (revolutions per minute) Komposition René Pulfer Der Basler Künstler René Pulfer, einer der Pioniere der Schweizer Videokunst und Hochschulprofessor an der HGK Basel /FHNW bis 2015, hat sich seit den späten 1970 Jahren auch intensiv mit Sound Art, Kunst im Kontext von Musik (Covers, Booklets, Artist Editions in Mu- sic) interessiert und exemplarische Arbeiten von Künstlerinnen und Künstlern gesammelt. Die Ausstellung konzentriert sich auf Covers und Objekte, bei denen das künstlerische Bild in Form von Zeichnung, Malerei oder Fotografie im Vordergrund steht. Durch die eigenständige Präsenz der Bildwerke treten die üblichen Angaben zur musikalischen und künstlerischen Autorschaft in den Hintergrund. Die Sammlung umfasst historische und aktuelle Beispiele aus einem Zeitraum von über 50 Jahren mit geschichtlich unterschiedlich gewachsenen Kooperationsformen zwischen Kunst und Musik bis zu aktuellen Formen der Multimedialität mit fliessenden Grenzen, so wie bei Rodney Graham mit der offenen Fragestellung: „Am I a musician trapped in an artist's mind or an artist trapped in a musician's body?" ARTIST WORKS for 33 1/3 and 45 rpm (revolutions per minute) Composition René Pulfer The Basel-based artist René Pulfer, one of the pioneers of Swiss video- art and a university professor at the HGK Basel / FHNW until 2015, has been intensively involved with sound art in the context of music since the late 1970s (covers, booklets, artist editions in music ) and coll- ected exemplary works by artists. The exhibition focuses on covers and objects in which the artistic image in the form of drawing, painting or photography is in the foreground. Due to the independent presence of the sculptures, the usual informati- on on musical and artistic authorship fades into the background. The collection includes historical and current examples from a period of over 50 years with historically different forms of cooperation between art and music up to current forms of multimediality, of blurred borders, or as Rodney Graham put it with his open question: " Am I a musician trapped in artist's mind or artist trapped in a musician's body?"

  • Paul Klee – the Abstract Dimension October 1, 2017 to January 21, 2018
    Media release Paul Klee – The Abstract Dimension October 1, 2017 to January 21, 2018 From October 1, 2017, to January 21, 2018, the Fondation Beyeler will be presenting a major exhibition of the work of Paul Klee, one of the most important painters of the twentieth century. The exhibition undertakes the first-ever detailed exploration of Kleeʼs relationship to abstraction, one of the central achievements of modern art. Paul Klee was one of the many European artists who took up the challenge of abstraction. Throughout his oeuvre, from his early beginnings to his late period, we find examples of the renunciation of the figurative and the emergence of abstract pictorial worlds. Nature, architecture, music and written signs are the main recurring themes. The exhibition, comprising 110 works from twelve countries, brings this hitherto neglected aspect of Kleeʼs work into focus. The exhibition is organized as a retrospective, presenting the groups of works that illustrate the main stages in Kleeʼs development as a painter. It begins, in the first of the seven rooms, with Kleeʼs apprenticeship as a painter in Munich in the 1910s, followed by the celebrated journey to Tunisia in 1914, and continues through World War I, and the Bauhaus decade from 1921 to 1931, with the well- known “chessboard” pictures, the layered watercolors, and works that respond to the experiments of the 1930s with geometric abstraction. The next section features a selection of the pictures painted after Kleeʼs travels in Italy and Egypt in the later 1920s and early 1930s. Finally, the exhibition examines the “sign” pictures of Kleeʼs late period, and the prefiguration, in his conception of painting, of developments in the art of the postwar era.

  • Discovering the Contemporary
    of formalist distance upon which modernists had relied for understanding the world. Critics increasingly pointed to a correspondence between the formal properties of 1960s art and the nature of the radically changing world that sur- rounded them. In fact formalism, the commitment to prior- itizing formal qualities of a work of art over its content, was being transformed in these years into a means of discovering content. Leo Steinberg described Rauschenberg’s work as “flat- bed painting,” one of the lasting critical metaphors invented 1 in response to the art of the immediate post-World War II Discovering the Contemporary period.5 The collisions across the surface of Rosenquist’s painting and the collection of materials on Rauschenberg’s surfaces were being viewed as models for a new form of realism, one that captured the relationships between people and things in the world outside the studio. The lesson that formal analysis could lead back into, rather than away from, content, often with very specific social significance, would be central to the creation and reception of late-twentieth- century art. 1.2 Roy Lichtenstein, Golf Ball, 1962.

  • The New York Times, Who Is Valie Export
    http://nyti.ms/299CwWZ ART & DESIGN Who Is Valie Export? Just Look, and Please Touch By RANDY KENNEDY JUNE 29, 2016 In 1967, the Austrian artist Waltraud Hollinger jettisoned her family name and the last name her husband had given her and became Valie Export, a nom de guerre inspired by a popular brand of cigarettes. But late last week, at a hotel in the West Village where she was supposed to be staying, the front desk could find no record of a Valie Export having checked in. Marieluise Hessel, the art collector and benefactor of the Hessel Museum of Art at Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, N.Y. — which has just opened a show built around Ms. Export’s highly influential work — stared worriedly into the screen on her phone. “I checked her Wikipedia page,” she said. “I asked under her maiden name and her married name. She must be somewhere else.” But just then, Ms. Export, wearing a long translucent white jacket and fashionable tennis shoes, her hair dyed copper red, emerged from the elevator. Explaining her spectral existence, at least as far as hotel registers were concerned, she rolled her eyes. “I used to have Valie Export on my passport — for years,” she said. “Now I have to use my name with my second husband. Something about security, I guess. Can you believe it?” The comedy of the situation was not lost on her. Ms. Export’s performances and films were among the most radical feminist statements in Europe in the 1960s and 1970s, and her work, through feminism, delved deeply into systems of control that have become omnipresent in the 21st century: surveillance, information as power, unseen political machinations.

This exhibition at DNA is re– introducing the art of Mike Steiner, who brought video art from New York into the Berlin´s experimental scene in the 70’s. The great contribution of Steiner, who died in 2012, can be recognized by his ground-breaking way of crossing borders between media, such as video, performance as well as sculpture and painting. The exhibition is composed not only of his work, documenting the art of performance practice but also, his significant work as a video artist and painter. Live to Tape, The collection of Mike Steiner in Hamburger Bahnhof About the artist Born in 1941 in Allenstein (East Prussia), Mike Steiner was one of the first artists to discovering the new medium of experimental video art. When filming, he focused either on documenting certain events or performances made by other artists. His technique was unique as he managed to capture moments in a specific way through the framing and composition within his shots. Hotel Steiner (1970), which the art critic Heinz Ohff compared with Chelsea Hotel in New York, was used as a melting pot where both local and international artists could come together, a space for artistic creation that never existed before in Berlin.

  • Kate Gilmore
    Kate Gilmore VIDEO CONTAINER: TOUCH CINEMA KNIGHT EXHIBITION SERIES Ursula Mayer, Gonda, 2012, Film still On May 15, 2014, Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami (MOCA) presents “Video Container: Touch Cinema,” a presentation of single-channel video work by contemporary artists who investigate the material and metaphysical presence of the body as it relates to issues of identity and sexuality. The second edition of a new MOCA video series exploring topical issues in contemporary art making, “Video Container” reflects the museum’s ongoing commitment to presenting and contextualizing experimental and critical practices, and to providing a platform for interdisciplinary media and discursive content. The program series is made possible by an endowment to the museum by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. “Video Container: Touch Cinema” features videos by leading contemporary artists including: Vito Acconci, Bas Jan Ader, Sadie Benning, Shezad Dawood, Harry Dodge, Kate Gilmore, Maryam Jafri, Mike Kelley & Paul McCarthy, Ursula Mayer, Alix Pearlstein, Pipilotti Rist, Carolee Schneemann, Frances Stark, VALIE EXPORT, and Hannah Wilke, among others. The exhibition borrows its title from an iconic recording of a 1968 guerrilla performance by VALIE EXPORT, in which the artist attached a miniature curtained “movie theater” to her bare chest and invited passersby on the street to reach in. Conflating the space of the theater with her own body, EXPORT’s performance emphasized the powerful and contested nature of viewership and interaction. Ranging from performance documentation to abstract shorts and long-form narratives, the artists in “Video Container: Touch Cinema” expand upon themes related to VALIE EXPORT’s seminal piece.

It was 1974 in Naples, Italy, when Marina Abramović (b.1946) left the following instructions for the people present within Studio Morra: “There are 72 objeCts on the table that one can use on me as desired. Performance. I am the objeCt. During this period I take full responsibility” (Abramović MoMA). As viewers gathered in the spaCe, amongst the various objeCts, Abramović began her performance pieCe Rhythm O. The six-hour long performance, Rhythm O, was created through the aCtions of audience members, the laCk of movement/aCtion on Abramović’s behalf, and the seventy-two objeCts that Abramović provided for the gallery. Within the spaCe, seventy-two objeCts were laid on a table, ranging from everyday items to those withholding far more dangerous qualities (fig. 1). Some of the items Abramović Chose to include were a rose, perfume, grapes, nails, a bullet and gun, sCissors, a hammer, an ax, and a kitChen knife. Once such items were plaCed on the table, Abramović stood in the room without speaking, motionless, while the audience members were allowed to apply the objeCts to her body in any way that they desired.

  • 1 Curt Glaser Report
    28.8.2019_JS 16.9.2019_transl Brailovsky Curt Glaser Report: III. Summary of the Historical Facts Curt Glaser (1879–1943) was born in Leipzig, the son of a Jewish family. In 1903 he began his studies of art history in Berlin and received his doctorate there in 1907. Most likely in 1903 as well, he married Elsa Kolker (1878-1932). Starting around 1910, with the support and in part at the behest of Glaser's father-in-law, Hugo Kolker, the couple began to build a significant art collection that encompassed, among others, the works of Edvard Munch, Vincent van Gogh, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso and Hans Purrmann. In 1902, Glaser began to be active as an art critic and became one of the most important critics and commentators in Berlin. Starting in 1909, Glaser worked at the Königliches Kupferstichkabinett, where by 1912 at the latest he was significantly expanding the collection of modern and contemporary art and promoting it through numerous exhibitions. During the course of his tenure at the Kupferstichkabinett, Glaser authored his most important scholarly publications: Zwei Jahrhunderte deutscher Malerei [Two Hundred Years of German Painting] (1916), Die Graphik der Neuzeit [Contemporary Graphics] (1922), and monographs on Lucas Cranach the Elder (1921) and Hans Holbein the Younger (1924). In October 1924, Glaser became the director of the Kunstbibliothek in Berlin. Among his chief tasks, in particular, was to redefine the Kunstbibliothek as an art historical research library. In July 1925, the Glasers moved into a civil service apartment unattached to the director's post, in which their art collection was also exhibited.

  • Das Jahr 2020 Im Kunstmuseum Basel
    Medienmitteilung Basel, 9. Februar 2021 Das Jahr 2020 im Kunstmuseum Basel Das Jahr 2020 war für das Kunstmuseum Basel wie für andere (Kultur-)Institutionen auch ein Ausnahmejahr. Die zeitweise Schliessung des Museums, die Verschiebung von geplanten Ausstellungen sowie der Ausfall unzähliger Veranstaltungen haben unter anderem dazu geführt, dass das Betriebsergebnis vor allem aufgrund der markant tieferen Besucherzahlen nicht wie geplant ausgefallen ist. Trotzdem ist es gelungen, ein attraktives Ausstellungs- und Vermittlungsprogramm zu bieten und mit teilweise neuen digitalen Formaten sogar neue Publikumskreise zu erschliessen. Das Betriebsjahr 2020 im Kunstmuseum Basel kann nicht unter normalen Voraussetzungen bewertet werden. Die Besucherzahlen sind im Vergleich zum Vorjahr massiv eingebrochen, was nicht nur auf die monatelangen Schliessungen im Frühling und Winter zurückzuführen ist, sondern auch auf den fehlenden Tourismus und die Einschränkungen durch COVID-19, die uns ab März das ganze Jahr begleitet haben. Erwartungsgemäss resultierte deshalb auch eine Abweichung vom Globalbudget, die aber durch die vom Regierungsrat Basel-Stadt bewilligte Kreditüberschreitung ausgeglichen wurde. Das Jahr bot aber auch Chancen. So konnte das digitale Angebot des Kunstmuseums Basel stark ausgebaut und so der virtuelle Zugang zum Museum für ein grosses Publikum erleichtert werden: Live-Führungen auf den sozialen Medien, ein temporärer Blog und virtuelle Rundgänge in den Sonderausstellungen Picasso, Chagall, Jawlensky und Rembrandts Orient stiessen auf regen Zuspruch. Diese Formate werden deshalb künftig auch im Normalbetrieb weiter geführt. Das Kunstmuseum Basel bedankt sich insbesondere für die wesentlichen finanziellen Beiträge von Mäzenen, Donatoren, Sponsoren und Stiftungen, die sowohl die Ausstellungen als auch die Erweiterung der Sammlung grosszügig unterstützen und auf die es auch in diesem schwierigen Jahr zählen konnte.

    Press Release Basel, July 6, 2020 Seven Fauvist works newly deposited on permanent loan at the Kunstmuseum Basel The Kunstmuseum Basel is pleased to announce that seven outstanding works of art, mainly by artists associated with the Fauve movement, are to be shown on permanent loan. The works will enhance an aspect of the museum’s collection of French Modernism that until now has been of lesser prominence than its first-rate holdings of Cubist art. From 4 July 2020, six of the paintings by André Derain, Georges Braque, Maurice de Vlaminck, and others, go on display on the second floor of the Hauptbau as part of the reinstallation of classic modernist art. In addition, a key painting by Gabriele Münter has also been acquired from the lenders’ collection. The following paintings are to be shown in Basel for the first time: André Derain, Pêcheurs à Collioure (Fishermen at Collioure), 1905 Maurice de Vlaminck, Bords de la Seine à Carrières-sur-Seine (Soleil de Printemps – Bord de Seine), 1906 Georges Braque, Port de L'Estaque (Port of L'Estaque), 1906 Raoul Dufy, Les Passantes (The Passers-by), c.1906-07 Kees van Dongen, Portrait de Dolly (Portrait of Dolly), c.1910 Albert Marquet, Bord de la Seine à Paris en hiver, vu de l'atelier du peintre, c.1924 Gabriele Münter, Murnauer Strasse (Street in Murnau), 1908 These paintings are from a private collection of Fauvist works. Fauvism is a style of painting developed by Henri Matisse and André Derain during 1905 in the seaside town of Collioure in the south of France.
