  • Condo London 2019 Charlotte Posenenske in Association with Galerie Mehdi Chouakri, Berlin
    Condo London 2019 Charlotte Posenenske In association with Galerie Mehdi Chouakri, Berlin Vyner Street, E2 12 January – 16 February 2019 Modern Art is deliGhted to present an exhibition of works by Charlotte Posenenske for Condo London 2019 in association with Galerie Mehdi Chouakri, Berlin. Charlotte Posenenske (b. Wiesbaden, 1930, d. Frankfurt, 1985) made pioneering contributions to Minimalist and Conceptual art during her short-lived artistic career. Rediscovered only posthumously, her predominantly sculptural output has influenced younGer Generations of artists since the 1990s. The terms democratisation, variability, participation, and cooperation are crucial to an understanding of Posenenske’s work. EnvisioninG art as a social and participatory act that should be opened to wider public enGaGement, rather than a product defined by transactional values between individuals, Posenenske produced larGe-scale sculptural works that were functional and easy to install, including non-fiGurative panels, folded and tilted works, reliefs, and square tubes in steel and cardboard. She determined not to restrict the number of elements produced, and matched their retail prices to their manufacturing costs in order to undermine the compulsory capitalist value-added system of the art market. Following considerable critical attention and in the wake of the political events of 1968 and the rise of the ‘art market’, Posenenske published a manifesto stating that art did not have the sufficient impact to solve urgent social issues. The document, which in turn marked her withdrawal from artistic production, concludes: I find it difficult to come to terms with the fact that art can contribute nothinG to the solution of pressinG social problems.

  • Public Options Christine Mehring on the Art of Charlotte Posenenske
    PETER FREEMAN, INC. 140 GRAND STREET, NEW YORK www.peterfreemaninc.com Public Options Christine Mehring on the art of Charlotte Posenenske CHARLOTTE POSENENSKE IS A MIRROR TO OUR BAD CONSCIENCE. In May 1968—as the revolutionary ambitions of the ’60s reached their pinnacle—the thirty-seven-year-old West German artist expressed her struggle to reconcile her artistic practice with her political convictions: “I find it difficult to accept that art cannot contribute to the solution of pressing social problems,” she wrote in the Switzerland-based Art International. 1 A year and a half later, she issued a less equivocal statement, tartly declining to submit a proposal for an art project in a public-housing development in Bielefeld, West Germany: “Each investment exceeding the minimum satisfaction of the actual needs [of the tenants] serves only to pretend these needs are met completely,” she asserted in the significant if little-known Frankfurt-based cultural magazine EgoIst. That is why 38,000 DM are to be invested . for a fountain or a sculpture. That which is supposedly no longer merely useful—art—gives a good return for the developer. [Art] is meant to make believe that these rabbit holes have fulfilled all needs, and that one can now afford the beautiful. Art is supposed to advertise the slums of the future. Art here has the function of an alibi. 2 As these disparaging words suggest, Posenenske’s faith in art had collapsed entirely. In fact, she had quit: quit making art, quit looking at and talking about art, quit socializing in Frankfurt’s art circles, even quit her marriage to the archi- tect Paul Friedrich Posenenske.

  • Charlotte Posenenske: Work in Progress
    ► Charlotte Posenenske: Work in Progress Press Conference: 17 October Opening: 17 October, 19:30h Dates: 18 October 2019 – 8 March 2020 Curated by: Jessica Morgan, Nathalie de Gunzburg (Director, Dia Art Foundation) and Alexis Lowry (Associate Curator, Dia Art Foundation) Charlotte Posenenske: Work in Progress presents an in-depth look at the practice of the German artist between 1956 and 1968, a short but intense period, when she was active in making art. Posenenske (Wiesbaden, 1930 – Frankfurt 1985) was born Liselotte Henriette to a Jewish family. She studied at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart with Willi Baumeister, who introduced her to modernism and Soviet Constructivism. Charlotte Posenenske, Vierantrohre (Square Tube), Series D, 1967–2018. Installation view, Haus Konstruktiv, Zurich, 2010.© Estate of Charlotte Posenenske. Photo: Dr Burkhard Brunn, Frankfurt am Main. Courtesy: Estate of Charlotte Posenenske and Mehdi Chouakri, Berlin 1 Posenenske’s works can be described as oscillating between Minimalism and Conceptualism, participatory art and performance, social practice and institutional criticism. The exhibition brings together her first drawings and paintings (her earliest experiments with mark making), aluminium wall-reliefs, and her last and best-known modular sculptures. The MACBA show incliudes a new production, Drehflügel Series E, ,based on drawings by the artis never produced in her lifetime Using construction materials, serial repetition and industrial manufacturing, Posenenske developed a form of mass-produced Minimalism that addressed the social and economic concerns of her time, circumventing the art market and rejecting established formal and cultural hierarchies. Her modular sculptures enabled the ‘consumer’ – the curator, viewer or owner – to decide and change the configuration of the installation according to their preference, thus surrendering some of the artist’s authorship and opening up the work to others.

  • Impressed by the Still Lifes of Cézanne and Nicholas De Staël, Ilse D'hollander Started Her Painting Practice in the Early 1
    Impressed by the still lifes of Cézanne and Nicholas de Staël, Ilse d’Hollander started her painting practice in the early 1990s in her Gent studio. In 1994, after moving her studio to the Ardennes mountains, she began to neglect figurative aspects in her work in favor of concerted, harmonically balanced abstract elements which are applied in many layers onto the canvas. Her oeuvre is also very much influenced by her friendship with the Belgian painter, Raoul de Keyser, who encouraged the young painter to continue with her intuitive and sublime methods. The works presented at Konrad Fischer Galerie – small format oil paintings on fibreboard and gouaches were created during the last years of her life. Ever since its presentation at documenta 12, the work of Charlotte Posenenske is associated with sculpture – colored foldings and reliefs, square tubes made of sheet steel and cardboard as well as the so called Drehflügel. Her little known painted works were created in 1956/57, ten years before the sculptures were introduced. After finishing her studies with Willi Baumeister in the early 1950s, Charlotte Posenenske worked as a stage designer and costume director in several theatres. The early Spachtelarbeiten (palette-knife works) and Rasterbilder (Grids), executed in oil or casein paint on fibreboard and paper, were created between 1956 and 1960. Some masterfully painted gestural drawings and palette-knife works followed, partly painted plein-air in her native Taunus mountains. References can be found in the early landscape paintings and compositions of Piet Mondrian and in the so called „Buchi“ by Lucio Fontana. Before Charlotte Posenenske started experimenting with spray paint, felt-tip pen and adhesive tapes (already related to her sculptural pieces) she created impressive gestural abstractions.

Kurt Schwitters and 27 Senses: Resonances in Norway, England, and Time Wood Roberdeau “In the relationship of a known and an unknown quality, the unknown varies and modifies the known.” — Kurt Schwitters 1 The oeuvre of Kurt Schwitters (1887-1948) has been consistently brandished as legendary modernism in its nascent state; the man has been portrayed as myth, the objects and literature he produced as remnants of an idiosyncratic or private audio-visual language, but also as portals to a collective unconscious or universal impulse to create. Schwitters’s own dadaist writings confirm his investment in human agency and in a concept of the Gesamtkunstwerk, and it is this investment along with the biographical context of a flight from fascism that so often has established him as an art world hero. My aim is to interrogate his theories for art practice alongside recent curatorial efforts that have interpreted and invoked the many narratives that surround him.

Cette exposition retrace l’évolution de l’œuvre pionnière de cette artiste (1930, Wiesbaden – 1985, Francfort-sur-le-Main), développée de 1956 à 1968, une période courte mais prolifique durant laquelle elle exerça son activité artistique. Se déployant dans le Grand Hall et dans les deux galeries de l’étage, l’exposition rassemble ses premiers dessins et peintures, des tableaux sculpturaux et des reliefs muraux, ainsi que ses emblématiques dernières sculptures modulaires. L’exposition souligne la contribution essentielle de Posenenske au développement de pratiques sérielles, spécifiques à un site et participatives. Embrassant la géométrie réductrice, la sérialité et la fabrication industrielle, Posenenske a développé une forme de production minimaliste standardisée, qui a répondu de façon précise aux préoccupations socio-économiques prégnantes de son époque, en contournant le marché de l’art et en rejetant les hiérarchies formelles et culturelles établies. Son approche radicale consistait notamment à ne pas limiter le nombre d’éditions d’une œuvre et à indexer son prix sur son coût de production.

  • Peter Freeman, Inc, New York, Is Pleased to Present an Exhibition of Works on Paper by Charlotte Posenenske (1930-1985)
    Peter Freeman, Inc, New York, is pleased to present an exhibition of works on paper by Charlotte Posenenske (1930-1985). This is the gallery’s third exhibition of her work, and the first devoted entirely to a selection of her drawings and paintings, made between 1956 and 1965, many of which have never been shown before in New York. One of the most influential artists of her generation, Posenenske is best known for her minimalist and conceptual sculptural works, based on industrial manufacturing and mass-production. However, before turning to sculpture in the mid 1960s, she was working primarily on paper, using it as a space for experimentation as she worked towards simplification, repetition, and mechanization. Her later sculpture ultimately questioned the importance of authorship, and in her early works on paper it is clear that it is an idea with which she was occupied from the beginning, playing with ways to eliminate the subjectivity of her hand. One group of works on view are her “Landschaft” [Landscapes] for which she often worked out-of- doors, distilling natural elements into gesture and essential marks, paring them down to near abstraction while retaining a pictorial organization. She also was making lively, highly gestural works on paper and cardboard, the apparent speed in which they were made belied by the elegant, precise lines of which they are composed. However, she was elsewhere eliminating gesture, moving towards mechanization. That is evident in her “Spachtelarbeit” [Palette-knife Works] in which she used that tool to avoid the hand-drawn, subjective traces of a brush stroke, and in her “Rasterbilde” [Grids], in which various types of marks were rapidly repeated, laid out in skewed lines.
