  • Rösten Som Sjunger För Sig Själv
    Vagant Tidsskrift for litteratur og kritikk http://www.vagant.no Rösten som sjunger för sig själv Date : 13/06/2014 Historien tar form genom rösten hos den skotska konstnären Susan Philipsz. Tidligere publisert i Vagant 1/2014 Arkitektur är frusen musik, sa Goethe. Visserligen dröjer en nyans av kyla över den neoklassicistiska, vita fasaden till samtidskonstmuseet Hamburger Bahnhof, men färgen har mindre med musik och mer med historien att göra. Som en före detta järnvägsstation, använd som förbindelselänk mellan Hamburg och Berlin från 1847 fram till 1884, förefaller dess palatsliknande exteriör att bryta av mot resterna av det skelettliknande hölje som är synlig inuti. Belägen strax utanför den väldiga Berlin Hauptbahnhof skyls museet något försynt av dess omgivande anläggningar, och som samtidskonstmuseum har den ett anmärkningsvärt historiskt skal omkring sig – ett exempel på »adaptive reuse«, där en historisk byggnad rustas upp och används i ett annat syfte. Utställningen Part File Score har inte så mycket med byggnadens otaliga avlagringar att göra. Istället låter den skotska Berlin- baserade konstnären Susan Philipsz oss att kroppsligen vandra runt i musikens inre arkitektur och frusna läckor. Historien balanserar på en spricka. Den centrala utställningshallen inuti Hamburger Bahnhof gapar tomt – som så ofta när Philipsz ställer ut – med dess vidöppna ytor, bågformade balkar och uppslukande akustik, inför vars omfång besökarna görs avsevärt mycket mindre. Med tolv högtalare på varsin sida av hallen, placerade längs balkarna av den före detta järnvägsstationen, skapas en elegant symmetri som betonar de arkitektoniska detaljerna. Och så är det någonting med ljudet. Den orkestrala musiken svajar hastigt och ryckartat mellan högtalarna, från en plats till en annan längre ner i hallen, så att den hörbara tonföljden undflyr lyssnaren, gömmer sig nästan.

  • Private Sales
    2 Private Sales n recent years, the commercial fragility of what were perceived to be preeminent New York art galleries was laid bare in newspaper head- lines and lawsuits that highlighted the financial woes of the hap- less collectors who consigned art to be sold, and the art purchasers Iwho acquired more (or less) than they bargained for. That fragility renders art transactions commercially unique when it is combined with the in- trinsic properties of fine art. The artwork, for one thing, is often singular and ir- replaceable. Moreover, its value, which largely depends on the artist’s reputation at the time of the sale, may fluctuate extensively because an artist’s reputation is largely subject to public whim. And artwork is frequently purchased on impulse by a shockingly uninformed buyer: The buyer often turns a blind eye to securing a written purchase contract (let alone to having the contract reviewed by legal counsel), neglects to have the property physically inspected or professionally ap- praised, fails to do a title search, and, if the work is a fine-art multiple, makes no inquiry about the technique of production. Defects abound in artwork as frequently as in other property. Accordingly, the art buyer should observe the same precautions ordinarily used by the prudent buyer in other commercial transactions of like value. Those precautions are ad- dressed at length throughout the three main sections of this chapter: Sales by Dealers, Sales by Collectors, and Secured Transactions. SALES BY DEALERS Whether the dealer is a private dealer, a single commercial gallery, or a gallery with numerous branches or franchised outlets, the dealer’s art sales are governed by principles of contract and tort law, by federal and state penal statutes, and in certain jurisdictions by specific legislation regulating sales of art.

  • Jack Whitten
    HAUSER & WIRTH Press Release Jack Whitten Hauser & Wirth New York, 22nd Street 26 January – 8 April 2017 Opening reception: Thursday 26 January, 6 – 8 pm New York… Beginning 26 January 2017, Hauser & Wirth is pleased to present its first exhibition devoted to the work of American abstractionist Jack Whitten. The show will feature selections from the artist’s newest bodies of work from 2015 – 2017, including tessellated paintings from the series Quantum Walls, and Portals; a piece from Whitten’s ongoing Black Monolith project honoring African-American visionaries; and assorted lenticular works on evolon. Lushly material explorations of space and its apertures, these works celebrate the distinctive painterly language that Whitten has developed over the course of a five-decade career. ‘Jack Whitten’ will remain on view at Hauser & Wirth’s West 22nd Street space through 8 April 2017. Moving to New York City to study art at Cooper Union in the early 1960s, Whitten was exposed to a range of influences, from the vigorous paintings of fellow artists Willem de Kooning and Norman Lewis, to the rich complexity HAUSER & WIRTH of bebop. Within this cultural milieu he developed an experimental style that combined the expressive physicality of gestural abstraction with the conceptual rigor of systems art. A radical breakthrough in 1970 provided the basis for his mode of working today: lifting a thick slab of acrylic paint off its support, Whitten realized that paint could be coaxed into the form of an independent object, challenging preexisting ideas about dimensionality in visual art. He began to lay sliced acrylic ribbons in wet, uneven fields of paint, mimicking the setting of mosaic tessarae into wet masonry.

  • KARL HAENDEL & JAY Defeo
    KARL HAENDEL & JAY DeFEO: PINK CUP AND THE FACTS September 12 – October 14, 2017 1018 Madison Avenue, New York Opening Reception: Tuesday, September 12, 6-8 pm NEW YORK, August 15, 2017 – Mitchell-Innes & Nash is pleased to announce Pink Cup and The Facts, a two- person exhibition of works on paper by Karl Haendel and Jay DeFeo, on view at 1018 Madison Avenue from September 12 through October 14. The exhibition highlights the importance of drawing in each artist’s practice as well as the varied potential of the medium itself. This will be the gallery’s second exhibition of each artist and the first time the two artists will be exhibited together. The exhibition is an exploratory dialogue between the work of two artists dedicated to the particularities of making drawings. In the process of forming the exhibition, Karl Haendel traveled from Los Angeles to The Jay DeFeo Foundation in Berkeley to spend time immersed in Jay DeFeo’s drawings, examining the range of marks, evidence of pencil hardness, effect of varied pressure, composition, and diverse subject matter in DeFeo’s work, communing with those details through the lens of his own deep experience with the medium. Along with her dexterity across diverse mediums, including painting, photography, photocopy, and collage, Jay DeFeo (1929-1989) consistently devoted herself to meditative and labor-intensive graphite works on paper. The familiar and iconic forms in DeFeo’s oeuvre appear across subject matters and periods, including works from the Tripod, Pink Cup, Compass, and Reflections of Africa series, in which DeFeo found meaning in the studied repetition of a transmuted form over many years.

  • Billy Childish Flowers, Nudes and Birch Trees: New Paintings 2015 September 10-October 31, 2015 536 West 22Nd Street, New York #Billychildish
    Billy Childish flowers, nudes and birch trees: New Paintings 2015 September 10-October 31, 2015 536 West 22nd Street, New York #billychildish Opening Reception: Thursday, September 10, 6-8PM birch wood, 2015, oil and charcoal on linen, 72.05 x 108.07 inches, 183 x 274.5 cm. Courtesy the artist and Lehmann Maupin, New York and Hong Kong. New York, August 11, 2015—Lehmann Maupin is pleased to present its fourth exhibition with British artist Billy Childish, a prolific painter, writer, and musician. The artist’s vivid oil paintings offer fragmented fields of intense color applied frenetically, often leaving charcoal marks and the linen canvas exposed, further emphasizing the immediate and intuitive nature of Childish’s work. The artist will be present for an opening reception at the gallery on Thursday, September 10 from 6-8PM. Working in traditional genres such as portraiture, still life, and landscape, Childish’s paintings are spiritually charged expressions that come from a place of deep personal meaning. These powerful works, including unabashed nudes, self-portraits, and dense woodland scenes, honor the simple nature of being and in the process transcend the ordinary. Eschewing any hint of post-modernist irony in his work, he allows the basics of personal expression to come forth through the fundamentals of painting. A self-proclaimed “Radical Traditionalist,” Childish has said, “The reason I honor tradition is that it provides a form and structure that allows freedom—the ego is subjugated and the requirements of the painting are met. Tradition is not to be worshipped or adored; it is a vehicle to take you to new places, or we could say to arrive at the perennial.” While he is occasionally associated with British groups like the Stuckists and YBAs, Childish does not see himself as connected to a particular contemporary movement; however, he is highly regarded and well known by his peers, including renowned artists Peter Doig and Tracey Emin.

  • “Direct Cinema Is Anything but a Fly on the Wall”: a Conversation with Albert
    i i i i DOI: 10.20287/doc.d20.en1 “Direct cinema is anything but a fly on the wall”: a conversation with Albert Maysles Frank Verano* Albert Maysles, along with his brother David, was a pioneer in American observational documentary in the early 1960s. Revolutionary technological breakthroughs developed by Maysles, producer Robert Drew, and filmmakers Ricky Leacock and D.A. Pennebaker allowed sound and image to be recorded in complete synchronization independent of any physical connectivity; this provided filmmakers a manageable mobility that positioned them to observe and interact with the world in a new way in pursuit of a new cinematic realism. In 1964, Albert coined a term for their practice, which thus distinguished it from the arbitrarily-applied misnomer cinéma vérité: direct cinema. With Albert behind the camera and David recording sound, the Maysleses sought a modern cinematic expression of both the everyday and the extraordi- nary that emphasized a spontaneous present-ness. Their early work exploring performativity and lives on the run set the stage: (Showman [1963], What’s Happening! The Beatles in the USA [1964], Cut Piece [1965], Meet Marlon Brando [1966] and A Visit With Truman Capote [1966]). Cut Piece was just the beginning of the Maysleses’ new cinematic engagement with modern art, which continued in the 1970s in a series of films with Christo and Jeanne- Claude: Christo’s Valley Curtain (1974), Running Fence (1978) and Islands (1986). Their suite of films in the late 1960s and early ’70s represents a furthe- ring of the concept of direct cinema, with an increased emphasis on reflexivity in each.
