TIEFENRAUSCH Art and Guided Tours in the Underworlds of Linz May 30 – July 13, 2008
Press Release June 10, 2008 TIEFENRAUSCH Art and Guided Tours in the Underworlds of Linz May 30 – July 13, 2008 A Project by the OK Center for Contemporary Art for Linz 2009 European Capital of Culture OK | Museum of the Underworlds Aktienkeller | Stream of Forgetting Landstraße | Manhole Covers Linz Underground | Crypts, Tunnels, Cisterns OK Platz | 40,000 Liters of Attersee Lake Water TIEFENRAUSCH (rapture of the deep) is a multi-part exhibition dispersed throughout the city, a complex, multi- layered undertaking, a blend of art projects and museum objects, narratives drawn from everyday life and investigations phrased in terms of cultural scholarship, out-of-the-ordinary venues and totally pragmatic guided tours. The point of departure is the Museum of the Underworlds in the OK. In downtown Linz, TIEFENRAUSCH will be visible along Landstrasse, where red plastic pipes designed by Linz Art University students are replacing the conventional manhole covers. In the Aktienkeller, OK is staging a major international art exhibition on the subject of “Remembering – Forgetting.” Plus, TIEFENRAUSCH is offering an array of guided tours to underground sites that are usually off-limits to the general public: the system of tunnels built by the Nazis, drinking water reservoirs and the crypts of Old City churches. A multipart catalog is being issued in conjunction with this project. In the first volume, which premiered at the exhibition’s opening, cultural philosopher Thomas Macho touches on a broad spectrum of conceptions, locations and conditions subsumed under the heading of underworld. Volume 2 will be released in late June, and #3 at the finissage. -

The singer was Champion Jack Dupree, who, like many american blues and jazz musicians, was touring Europe, where he could make a better living than in the US. There, the audience had long turned towards psychedelic and folk rock, losing interest in the older blues, soul and rock’n roll acts that had dominated the late 1950’s. At the time, I was only three years old, so I am not sure if I genuinely remember anything about that evening. But my parents told me that I was so thrilled with Champion Jack Dupree, that at one point, I slid out of the church bench and speeded towards the low stage where the singer played his piano. He picked me up with a big smile, and let me sit on his knee for the entire song. Maybe that was the moment when I was first infected with the virus that would stay with me my whole life: american pop music, especially blues, jazz, soul, funk, and rock. In 1991, I had already built a considerable record collection, wherever I went, I was roaming the record stores, thrift stores and flea markets. It was while I was living in Brussels, when I picked up a “Live” record by Lionel Hampton from 1954 at the marché aux puces. -

Fine Arts Events 2007
Vancouver artist Eric Metcalfe will lecture in Architecture and Design Now Date: Monday, January 8, 2007 - 11:00am - 2:00pm Location: C 610 "Eric Metcalfe's Long-standing practice in performance, video, installation, ceramics and sculpture has consistently drawn from popular culture, including film and television, jazz improvisation and the graphic novel. In his talk titled "Film Noir Architecture", Metcalfe looks in detail at film noir, a genre of great importance to film and cultural theorists over the past three decades. His talk will centre around the the installation "Laura" currently on at the Stride Gallery in Calgary. Centred around a 'missing woman', the Vera Casprey novel Laura of 1942 and the 1944 Otto Preminger film adaptation exemplify the classic motifs of crime fiction and film noir. In this installation, Metcalfe takes on the role of 'auteur', a continuation of his 'oeuvre' that includes the 1980 video Steel and Flesh. He collaborates with writer Nancy Shaw, and editor Michael Turner in the voice-over script for the sound track, in which Shaw performs; renowned jazz pianist Paul Plimley and sound artist Peter Courtemanche collaborate on the score. Ceramicist Gillian McMillan and sculptor Rick Ross work with Metcalfe in the design of the set pieces for a remarkable installation that transforms the gallery space into a sound stage that the viewer can enter. Paring down to a few significant elements the lush opulence of the film noir set, and including vintage lighting, draperies and 'painting', Metcalfe investigates the strong influence of this popular genre on both contemporary art practice and his own artistic development. -

It was with a generous gift from the Boris Lurie Art Foundation that much of the art in the present exhibition was salvaged, having been long believed lost, and restored.

François Michel (Saint-Trond, 1956)
François Michel (Saint-Trond, 1956) Père, peintre et mère, sculpteure. - Michel François, Patrick Bougelet, Denis-Laurent Bouyer, Yves Brochard. Les valeurs ajoutées de Michel François in Sans titre, n° 46, ACRAC, Lille, 1999. Repris in Michel François, Où je suis vu du ciel. Ed. La Lettre volée / Espace 251 Nord, 1999 (Ouvrage réalisé pour la représentation francophone à la Biennale de Venise.) - SANS TITRE : Quelle a été l‘origine d’un travail qui est multiforme, quelle a été ta formation ? - MICHEL FRANÇOIS : J’ai principalement été formé, sur le plan artistique par mes parents, ma mère est sculpteur et mon père était peintre. Il y avait à la maison un atelier de sculpture et un atelier de peinture. J'ai fait une école de cinéma et de théâtre, en tait j’ai fait des films. Puis je suis parti en voyage en Afrique huit mois et, en rentrant, je voulais faire quelque chose que je pouvais faire seul. Avec le cinéma, le théâtre tout était lent et je me sentais trop dépendant des techniciens Je me suis inscrit dans une école d’art, l’ERG. Formation : - Régie théâtrale et animation culturelle à l’Institut national supérieure des Arts du Spectacle et Techniques de diffusion / Insas à Mons. - Un an en céramique à l’Académie de Boitsfort. - 1979-82. Bruxelles, Ecole de recherches graphiques / Erg. Fasciné par les gestes de la vie courante et par les tensions qu'ils révèlent, Michel François se démarque, depuis les années 80, par une pratique singulière où règnent désordre et ambiguïté. Parallèlement à la photographie, éditée sous forme d'affiche puis de livre, l'artiste a créé une approche particulière de la sculpture et de l'installation, où ses travaux et ses images sont souvent rassemblés, accumulés et réactualisés.
