Showcasing a range of approaches from painting and sculpture to moving images, drawing, and photography, the exhibition surveys approximately 80 works by more than 50 artists, including: robert Bechtle, Maurizio Cattelan, vija Celmins, robert gober, Charles ray, gerhard richter, ai . n weiwei, and others. the exhibition is accompanied by a 200-page full color publication with essays SO a by Siri engberg, Michael Lobel, rochelle Steiner, and artist Josiah Mcelheny.

Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 3 Abstract Iain Sinclair’s London is a labyrinthine city split by multiple forces deliriously replicated in the complexity and contradiction of his own hybrid texts. Sinclair played an integral role in the ‘psychogeographical turn’ of the 1990s, imaginatively mapping the secret histories and occulted alignments of urban space in a series of works that drift between the subject of topography and the topic of subjectivity. In the wake of Sinclair’s continued association with the spatial and textual practices from which such speculative theses derive, the trajectory of this variant psychogeography appears to swerve away from the revolutionary impulses of its initial formation within the radical milieu of the Lettrist International and Situationist International in 1950s Paris towards a more literary phenomenon. From this perspective, the return of psychogeography has been equated with a loss of political ambition within fin de millennium literature.

  • The History of Unitary Urbanism and Psychogeography at the Turn of the Sixties
    The History of Unitary Urbanism and Psychogeography at the Turn of the Sixties Ewen Chardronnet 2003 Contents Examples and Comments of Contemporary Psychogeography (lecture notes for a conference in Riga Art + Communication Festival, May 2003) 3 2 Examples and Comments of Contemporary Psychogeography (lecture notes for a conference in Riga Art + Communication Festival, May 2003) The topic of our panel discussion this afternoon is about “local media, maps and psychogeography”. I think it’s necessary to come back first to a brief history of psychogeography, Unitary Urbanism and the Situationnist International at the turn of the sixties. The end of the fifties and the beginning ofthe sixties were a period of acceleration in urbanism of European and world cities. In Paris, this period is the explosion of what politicians and urban planners called “new cities”. Paris was exploding outside its “ring road” and cities such as Sarcelles were created with totally new urban models. There was a strong feeling in that time that the cities were losing their human dimensions. I will first try to show how this acceleration of modernization of urban society had an influence on the tactics of the SI as an avant-garde concerned with the uniformization of society through urbanism, mass media, and the dichotomy of work and leisure. I will especially focus on Unitary Urbanism and 4 years of intense activities (‘58-‘61) that finally culminate by totally abandoning these theories. We will then discuss actual initiatives that use tactical medias in the streets and how this is link to the new rise of psychogeography and the necessity of reclaiming the streets.

  • Psychogeography: Framing Urban Experience
    Psychogeography: Framing Urban Experience The cross-disciplinary thought given to the city, particularly over the past forty years, has led to its reconceptualisation in terms of urban -economic, sociopolitical, and more recently cultural- relations. This has provided the context for often generalised observations of subjective urban experience, recalling Simmel’s investigations of industrial metropolitan individuality, and a recycling of artistic practices like psychogeography that engaged with the urban imaginary and everyday life. Initially, “the word psychogeography,” so Guy Debord’s story goes, was a neologism, “suggested by an illiterate Kabyle as a general term for a phenomena a few of us were investigating around the summer of 1953”. The directeur of the Lettrist International (LI), and from 1957-72, also Situationist International (SI), goes on to explain this phenomena as “the study of the precise laws and specific effects of the geographical environment, consciously organised or not, on the emotions and behaviour of individuals.”1 In practice, this was approached with emphatically un-academic methods, the most established being the dérive. With a backward glance at surrealist automatism, this recreational tactic properly entailed several psychogeographers together negotiating “urban ambiences” -frequently in Paris, but also in Amsterdam, London, Venice- talking and taking advantage of any bars en route. Such diversions were documented in written accounts and psychogeographical maps, and thus described in the LI’s journal Potlatch and the SI’s Internationale Situationniste. Moreover, the resulting conclusions were applied in proposals for a unitary urbanism that reimagined the city as a site of play, creating disorientating ‘situations’ for the ludic education of its inhabitants.

Two Part PhD submission; Volume 1 – The Houston, Texas incident; Volume 2 – A Birmingham psychogeography: continuity and closure Volume 2 Christopher Alan Prendergast PhD December 2015 Keele University 1 Abstract There has been some sociological interest in MG Rover’s decline and widespread de- industrialisation in Birmingham. However, little research has considered the proximity of Rover’s closure in 2005 to another seminal event for the city – the opening of the Bullring shopping centre in 2003. These events appear indicative of Daniel Bell’s conception of ‘post- industrialism’. This thesis uses the tradition of ‘psychogeography’ to critique post- industrialism in Birmingham, examining the city’s collective psyche from a dynamic literary perspective. In Chapter 1, Daniel Bell’s predictions (made in 1973) of the likely characteristics of a post-industrial society are outlined and measured against recent economic and social events in Birmingham. In Chapter 2, the tradition of psychogeography is critically analysed, from Situationism and Kevin Lynch’s The Image of the City in the 1960s to the contemporary works of Iain Sinclair and Rebecca Solnit.

  • Use Your Illusion by Hilarie M
    I N M A N G A L L E R Y Trends April 2012 Use Your Illusion By Hilarie M. Sheets Contemporary sculptors are tricking the eye and the mind with uncannily realistic objects In the legendary contest of artistic ability in ancient Greece, Zeuxis thought he had won a victory when his painted grapes looked so real they attracted birds—that is, until Parrhasius moved to unveil his own painting and revealed the curtain itself to be an illusion. The age-old idea of trompe l’oeil—fooling the eye with astounding realism—has taken on new dimensions among contemporary artists, particularly those sculptors whose work confounds the viewer in shared physical space. Lavishing time and often extraordinary materials on mimetic renditions of the highly ordinary—a garbage bag, an aging man, a suburban kitchen— artists make us look twice and fill us with wonder, bafflement, delight, and discomfort. “Trompe l’oeil was once a measure of how well an artist could paint, but over the last century skill alone has rarely been enough to make an artwork interesting,” says artist Alison Elizabeth Taylor, who was inspired to learn wood inlay in graduate school after seeing the Duke of Urbino’s Renaissance studiolo, installed in the Photograph of Patrick Jacobs working on Raked Leaves, 2008, a miniature “diorama” viewed through a three-inch Metropolitan Museum of Art, with its fantastic window. trompe l’oeil books and instruments. Taylor COURTESY THE ARTIST adapts the painstaking marquetry technique to render slices of destitution in American life, including a corner piece recently on view at James Cohan Gallery in New York that appears to be layers of peeling linoleum flooring.

  • Ography of Insurrectionary Imagination
    In the Footnotes of Library Angels: A Bi(bli)ography of Insurrectionary Imagination Dear Reader Before we begin on this journey in search of words and images that speak of the insurrectionary imagination1; Before we bend those fragile spines and flick through brittle pages to reveal moments where the spirit of art2 and activism merge3; Before we drift4 through these words, fingering paper, armed with footnotes5 guiding our steps across this library. I want to ask you a question - Do you believe in Library Angels? 1 The Laboratory of Insurrectionary Imagination (lab of ii) was founded in 2004 by myself, the artists activist, The Vacuum cleaner ( see his DVD - The Vacuum Cleaner, Anti Adverts, 2003 ref: D0180) and radical educator Isabelle Fremeaux. The lab of ii is an ephemeral network of socially engaged artists and activists whose work falls in between resistance and creativity, culture and politics, art and life. It believes that playful forms of cultural intervention in everyday life and the development of free convivial spaces that enable participants to cultivate full confidence in their own creative capacity are fundamental tools for social change. Experiment 1 in Autumn 2004 was part of the big alter-globalisation movement gathering, The European Social Forum. Experiment 2 took place in Summer 2005 and involved touring to 9 cities in the UK with a caravan run on chip fat, infiltrating department stores with ‘prayers to products’ and training several hundred rebel clowns for civil disobedience at the G8 summit - See The Laboratory of Insurrectionary Imagination – 13 experiments in hope DVD. ref: D0261 2 It is useful to remember that the division between art and life is only a fairly recent one( circa 17th century).
