Beuysradio. Making Waves the Programme beuysradio. making waves the programme »Making Waves«: a celebration to mark the 100th birthday of Joseph Beuys and to kick off »beuysradio«. The 24-hour programme at once celebrates and examines the life and legacy of this pivotal artist: 100 voices from all over the world explore the artist's significance for the present in interviews and short statements. Rare audio documents offer an insight into his controversial understanding of art and history and convey the mood of the era in which Beuys became Beuys. Two podcasts examine the political and social meaning of myths in Beuys’ work and the democratic potential of free radio from South Africa to Tel Aviv to Halle. At the heart of »Making Waves« is the music that Beuys listened to, made, shaped and continues to inspire today. 12 May 20:00–24:00 h 1.

Ollertz, Toula Limnaois, Beth Stephens & Annie Sprinkle [2021] [5:07] 8. Benjamin Hasselhorn, Podcast: Die ganze Wirklichkeit – Braucht Demokratie Mythen? [in German] [35:00] Beuys described himself as a storyteller and cultivated an unbiased approach to myths. But aren't myths problematic or even dangerous, especially when they become political? Why can't we get rid of myths even in the 21st century? And how can we deal with them constructively? Fat and felt, German oaks and shamanism - Joseph Beuys has repeatedly made use of myths and archaic forms in his work and his self-portrayal. This has just as often brought him criticism - as a folk esoteric, pseudo-mystic, manipulative self- promoter. For isn't myth an irrational, latently falsifying representation of the past - often with fatal consequences for the present? The historian Benjamin Hasselhorn takes the controversy surrounding Beuys' treatment of myths as a starting point for fundamental considerations on the subject of myth and mythmaking. To which human needs do myths respond? Do we need myths in a pluralistic, democratic society? And if so - which ones?

EVERYTHING FLOWS, or: »Music is a message from the future«: Playlist by Anna Schürmer [60:00] Fluxus is the art of hybrid flow, the aesthetic panta rhei of processuality. And »everything flows« also applies to the work of Joseph Beuys. This playlist meanders between the avant-gardes and pop - and culminates in a pop-avant-garde crossover of »U« and »E«: »Ü-Musik" in other words - and a little surprise is also contributed by Beuys student and free-sequence researcher Emil Schult and his Transhuman Art Critics with an original composition for »beuys 2021«. If you want to experience the »expanded concept of art« on a formal aesthetic level while listening: Why not run this almost one- hour playlist in parallel with the good one-hour piano duet that Joseph Beuys performed together with Nam June Paik in 1978 »In memoriam George Maciunas« – or else the simultaneous performance by the two Fluxus heroes of Coyote III / Pianovariation (1984).

Shamanism and Electricity: Playlist by Thibaut de Ruyter [120:00] This playlist confronts Beuys’ understanding of shamanism with ethnological music and contemporary compositions. The central piece of this playlist is »Ström« by Swedish artist Carl Michael von Hausswolff. For this track, Hausswolff amplifies and subtly transforms the sound of pure electricity. It’s about energy, physicality and grain – while it reminds of the tiny sensors plugged in »Unschlitt/Tallow« (1977) from Beuys, making us believe that the paraffin wax is full of energy and that we should be careful not to get an electric shock when approaching the artwork. Tracklist: Pan Sonic – Paine David Toop, Mabutawi Teri – Rain Song Raushan Orazbayeva & Tokzhan Karatai – Bashpai »Elim-Ai, Halkym-Ai« (Korkyt) (X-Xi Century) Cosey Fanni Tutti, Split – From The Album Tutti Daniel Schmidt And The Berkeley Gamelan – Rebab Delay beuysradio. making waves das programm 3 Carl Michael Von Hausswolff – Ström Galya Bisengalieva – Tulpar Kali Malone – Sacrificial Code (Live In Hagakyrka) Holger Czukay – Breath Taking (With Karlheinz Stockhausen) Monks Of The Gandantegchinlen Monastery – Office Du »Qailangiyn Qural« Joseph Beuys – Sonne Statt Reagan Unknown – Kyrgyzstan - Koukou (Kiguatch Coz Komouz) 13 May 4:30–7:30 h 16b.

Die Tödliche Doris: Das typische Ding – Reenactment (I) [20:00] Die Tödliche Doris could be described as an invisible sculpture of which Beuys often spoke. Doris has no body. She forms in 1980 as a post-punk band with different lineups, liquefies in white wine in 1987 and celebrates her comeback in 2018 with the LP box Reenactment – The Typical Thing: 31 Sounds, 31 Drawings and 31 Reviews of 31 Different Vibrators. Doris herself, now in the form of many individual sex toys remains absent.

Miki Yui: Plant Music [2021] [60:00] The electro-acoustic composition is inspired by an early drawing by Beuys, »Plant« from 1947. Here, »Plant« implies not only the mother of all organism on the earth but also the verb »to plant«, and »Music« is the transporter and the transformer into alternated flow of time and entangled space. »Plant Music« invites listener to an imaginary world at dawn - the process of a seed growing, embraced in soil, water, air, and light, the communication between micro-organisms become tangible. 21. Klang ist Skulptur – Terry Fox: Playlist by Carsten Seiffarth [55:00] Like Joseph Beuys, who said you hear a sculpture before you see it, his contemporary and fellow artist Terry Fox considered sound to be sculpture.

Photo: Lisa Rastl artist, Hauser & Wirth, and Luhring New York, NY…The New Museum is pleased to present the first New York survey of the work of Swiss artist Pipilotti Rist (b.1962). Over the past thirty years, Rist has achieved international renown as a pioneer of video art and multimedia installations. Her mesmerizing works envelop viewers in sensual, vibrantly colored kaleidoscopic projections that fuse the natural world with the technological sublime. Referring to her art as a “glorification of the wonder of evolution,” Rist maintains a deep sense of curiosity that pervades her explorations of physical and psychological experiences. Her works bring viewers into unexpected, all-consuming encounters with the textures, forms, and functions of the living universe around us. Occupying the three main floors of the New Museum, “Pipilotti Rist: Pixel Forest” is the most comprehensive presentation of Rist’s work in New York to date. It includes work spanning the artist’s entire career, from her early single-channel videos of the 1980s, which explore the representation of the female body in popular culture, to her recent expansive video installations, which transform architectural spaces into massive dreamlike environments enhanced by hypnotic musical scores.

  • 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.

Barely edited, a characteristic Nauman tape from the late '60s shows the artist laconically following some absurd set of directions for an extended amount of time within the vague purview of a video camera mounted at a seemingly random angle in relation to the action. Slow Angle Walk is a classic of the genre, reflecting the artist's interest in Irish playwright Samuel Beckett, whose characters announce, "Let's go!" while the stage directions read, "No one moves."

What changes, what comes to form a whole, what was overlooked and where does it go from here? Audiovisual Messages – the 1973 edition of the trigon Biennal – placed a major emphasis on media art, putting local artists in direct relation to international developments. This exhibition marked the beginning of a dynamic that made Graz appear a special place for media art. With influential works by artists such as Nam June Paik, Keith Sonnier, Gottfried Bechtold, Trisha Brown and Bruce Naumann, what emerges is a web of topics that have captivated media art from the beginning, including space-time penetration, media discussion and -reflection or the painterly/musical qualities of new media – topics showing a clearly traceable development in relation to more recent work. Thus the exhibition media art collecting deals with collecting activities at the Neue Galerie Graz in the area of media art, the essence of which becomes evident in the spectrum of exhibitions held over the past 40 years.

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?"

Moveable Type Vol. 5 2009: CLARE O’DOWD 1 Kurt Schwitters' Merzbau : Chaos, Compulsion and Creativity For nearly thirty years until his death in 1948, the German artist Kurt Schwitters constructed environments for himself: self-contained worlds, places of safety, nests. Everywhere he went he stockpiled materials and built them into three-dimensional, sculptural edifices. By the time he left Hanover in 1937, heading for exile in England, Schwitters, his wife, his son, his parents, their lodgers, and a large number of guinea pigs had all been living in the midst of an enormous, detritus-filled sculpture that had slowly engulfed large parts of their home for almost twenty years. 1 Schwitters was by no means the only artist to have a cluttered studio, or to collect materials for his work. So the question must be asked, what was it about Schwitters’ activities that was so unusual? How can these and other aspects of his work and behaviour be considered to go beyond what might be regarded as normal for an artist working at that time? And more importantly, what were the reasons for this behaviour? In this paper, I will examine the beginnings of the Merzbau , the architectural sculpture that Schwitters created in his Hanover home.
