Tauber’s projects have been presented in a variety of forms, including: solo and group art exhibitions; film festivals (and other film screenings); public art installations; as well as through various media outlets (television, radio, print, and the web). • The Sharing Project (2011 - in progress) poses questions about whether we share enough in our capitalist world. It focuses on the seemingly simple task of Tauber teaching his young son Zeke to share. As Tauber and Zeke struggle to understand what sharing means and how much we should share, experts in different fields offer their thoughts, creating more complexity and questions. In pursuit of answers, Tauber and his son turn to the forgotten Socialist Jewish commune of Happyville (1905-1908) in South Carolina, hoping that some of the mysteries of sharing are buried in the traces of the utopian community. The Sharing Project is an installation featuring 15 short films, 21 interviews, and a communal toy sculpture. It will also become a feature film. • Pumping (2009-2011) ponders the fragility and temporality of LA’s foundation, while it imagines a future when water is scarce and oil no longer exists. As an installation, Pumping is comprised (in its most complete form) of three video projections, train tracks, a giant metal “filmstrip”, a series of photographs, and a handcar sculpture. Pumping also exists as a 6-minute movie. • Sick-Amour (2005-ongoing) celebrates a forlorn sycamore tree that is stuck in the middle of a giant parking lot, as it describes Tauber’s crusade to improve the tree’s life. The full art installation consists of a 12-channel video sculpture in the shape of a tree, a series of photographs, two giant earring sculptures for the tree, as well as golden leaf necklaces and fruitball earrings for Tauber and other tree lovers. As a public art project, 200 tree babies (offspring of the adopted tree) have been planted throughout Southern California; many are adorned with a series of plaques and even – at a number of schools – sculptural necklaces. Sick-Amour is also a 33-minute hybrid documentary film / love story. • The Underwater Project: Turning Myself Into Music (2003-2004) is a 3-channel video installation that chronicles Tauber’s investigations underwater and translates his movements during 40 scuba dives into music. The exhibition space is turned into an underwater disco. • Searching For The Impossible: The Flying Project (2001-2003) contemplates the relationships between flight and metaphysics, as it chronicles Tauber’s numerous failed attempts to fly before he achieves success: Tauber flies 150 feet over the desert for an hour and a half in a musical flying machine that he constructs. The art installation consists (in its most complete form) of a 32-minute film, a series of photographs, and the musical flying machine / sculpture. • Seven Attempts to Make a Ritual (2000-2001) is a 7-channel video installation that chronicles Tauber’s attempts to place himself inside the Earth in particular ways in order to achieve a mystical experience. The project can also be seen (in a more condensed form) as a 24-minute film.

    David Zwirner 43 Greene Street New York, NY 10013 Tel: 212/966-9074 Fax: 212/966-4952 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: OCTOBER 20, 1991 EXHIBITION: "SAMPLER" - Southern California Video Collection 1970 - 1993 organized by Paul McCarthy DATES: November 5 -December 4, 1994 Gallery hours: Tuesday - Saturday 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM Opening on November 5th the gallery will show a selection of 35 single channel video tapes, all of which were produced by artists living and working in Southern California between the 1970 and 1993. The exhibition was organized by Los Angeles based artist Paul McCarthy who has been active in the Los Angeles art community since the late 60's, primarily as a performance and video artist. His recent installation in the exhibition "Helter Skelter" at the Los Angeles MOCA as well as his contributions to this years "Aperto" in Venice and to the critically acclaimed show "Post Human" in Lausanne have established Paul McCarthy as an important force in contemporary sculpture. The artists whose video tapes will be featured in this show are: Bas Jan Ader, Eleanor Antin, Skip Arnold, John Arvanities, John Baldessari, Meg Cranston, John Duncan, Allan Kaprow, Hilja Keading, Mike Kelley, The Kipper Kids, Peter Kirby, Paul McCarthy, Susan Mogul, Bruce Nauman, Tony Oursler, Raymond Pettibon, Patty Podesto, Allen Ruppersburg, Ilene Segalove, Jim Shaw, Nina Sobel, Wolfgang Stoerchle, Bruce and Norman Yonemoto. "The tape collection is by no means meant to appear or to be an anthology. This collection hardly scratches the surface of the number of video tapes made in Southern California. I was not concerned with creating a "video show" with a theme or a compiling a "gallery reel" of short concise tapes which would be directed at a conventional gallery situation.

    Comme le mur qui attend le lierre Fiona Tan / Daniel Turner / Oriol Vilanova 23.05 > 29.08.21 PRESS RELEASE Fiona Tan, Ruins, detail, 2020. Courtesy of the artist, Peter Freeman Inc., New York and Frith Street Gallery, London.© SABAM Belgium 2021 The Exhibition Occupying two identical rooms in the former “Engineers’ House”, of which only the outside walls of its original architecture now remain, the exhibition proposes a poetic, critical meditation on the theme of ruins, based on an installation by Oriol Vilanova belonging to the Museum’s collection, a double projection of films by Fiona Tan and a sculpture by Daniel Turner. Several mosaics of images are arranged along the walls. Vues imaginaires (2017) consists of a collection of hundreds of postcards depicting ruins, mainly archeological or as a result of wars, which Oriol Vilanova gleaned from flea markets. In response to this,Ruins (2020) presents two films shot in the former Machines Room at Grand-Hornu by Fiona Tan during her recent residence at the MACS, the first a High-Definition video and the second on Super 16mm film. They are projected separately on screens placed at a distance from each other. As a sort of intermediary between these two installations and in response to Bertolt Brecht’s poem1, a line from which inspired the title of this exhibition, Daniel Turner’s sculpture, RH2 (2012), extends our image of architectural ruins to a critique of the capitalist economy and its ‘creative destruction’ process through his salvaging of old refrigerator door handles, which he elevates to the status of archeological artefacts and whose incrusted grime from so many already ancestral hands is conserved.

MIT DER ANDEREN HAND / WITH THE OTHER HAND 21.11.2020 – 14.02.2021 Kunsthalle Krems Memory, time and history are essential elements in the artistic work of Fiona Tan that she visualises primarily in the media of photography, film and video. Tan is considered a leading protagonist of an art based on research, documentation and archival work, and informed by a scientific approach. Art is un- derstood here as a field of production of reflection, analysis and concept. This involves researching, archiving, explaining and depicting. Tan’s art can also be regarded as a critique of seeing, for instance when she uses archival footage to deconstruct the European gaze vis-à-vis other cultures. The Museum der Moderne Salzburg and the Kunsthalle Krems present Fiona Tan’s first mid-career retrospective covering her artistic work of the past twenty years in two near concurrent exhibitions. The title of the exhibition, With the other hand, refers to Franz Kafka’s melancholic diary entry about the sensitive outsider who cannot bear life and, for this very reason, becomes a keen chronicler and memory artist of his time.

  • Fiona Tan Learning Resource.Pdf
    FIONA TAN ABOUT THE ARTIST Fiona Tan was born in 1966 and the interest she has in displacement, an idea continuously explored in her work, begins with her own history. Born in Pekanbaru, on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia, to a Chinese- Indonesian father and an Australian mother, Tan spent her childhood in Australia before moving to the Netherlands in her late teens. Growing up in Australia, swimming in the sea and being taught biology by her parents throughout her formative years, Tan developed an innate affinity with the ocean and natural history. Training in fine art in Amsterdam, Tan found some success in the 1990s before securing herself as a leading figure in the contemporary art world by representing the Dutch Pavilion in the 2009 Venice Biennale. Fiona Tan currently lives and works in Amsterdam. ABOUT THE WORK Fiona Tan’s exhibition DEPOT spans BALTIC’s Level 3 and Level 4 galleries and includes a major new large-scale commission which makes reference to North East England’s whaling history. Tan works within the contested territory of representation: how we represent ourselves and the mechanisms that determine how we interpret the representation of others. She explores themes of memory, collection, archive and journey. Photography and film – made by Tan, by others, or a combination of both – are her media; research, classification and the archive, her strategies. Her skilfully crafted and intensely human film and video installations explore history, time and our place within them. DEPOT 2015 / Level 4 Disorient 2009 / Level 3 ABOUT THE WORK Disorient 2009 / Level 3 Tan’s preoccupation with time, memory and place is explored The voiceover for this encompassing installation includes in Disorient 2009.
