Die SAMMLUNG VERBUND, Wien Wurde 2004 Als Firmensammlung Mit Zeitgenössischer, Internationaler Ausrichtung Ins Leben Gerufen. K Chiharu Shiota Lorraine O´Grady Penny Slinger Uncertain Journey, 2016 Untitled (Mille Bourgeoise Noire), Promised a Bed of Roses, ©Chiharu Shiota / 1980-83/2009 1973 Bildrecht, 2019 ©Lorraine O´Grady ©Penny Slinger Die SAMMLUNG VERBUND, Wien wurde 2004 als Firmensammlung mit zeitgenössischer, internationaler Ausrichtung ins Leben gerufen. Kunstengagement ist ein zentraler Bestandteil der Unternehmenskultur von VERBUND. Maxime: Tiefe statt Breite lautet die Maxime der SAMMLUNG VERBUND, Wien. Unser Fokus liegt auf Werkgruppen und spezifischen künstlerischen Positionen seit 1970. Künstlerinnen und Künstler: 1.000 Werke von 144 Künstlerinnen und Künstlern wurden zu den beiden Schwerpunkten „Feministische Avantgarde der 1970er-Jahre“ und „Räume/Orte“ gesammelt. Sammlungsdirektorin: Gabriele Schor, SAMMLUNG VERBUND, Wien Internationales Kuratorium: Jessica Morgan, Dia Art Foundation, New York Derzeitige Ausstellung im AuslAnD WOMAN Feministische Avantgarde der 1970er-Jahre aus der SAMMLUNG VERBUND, Wien CCCB - Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona 18. Juli 2019 - 6. Jänner 2020 kuratiert von Gabriele Schor Von 19. Juli 2019 bis 6. Jänner 2020 zeigt das CCCB - Centre de Cultura Contemporànea de Barcelona mit über 350 Kunstwerken aus der SAMMLUNG VERBUND, wie Künstlerinnen in den 1970er-Jahren zum ersten Mal ein eigenes „Bild der Frau“ kollektiv neu kreierten. Da diese wichtige künstlerische Bewegung bisher zu wenig Beachtung in der Katalin Ladik, POEMIM (Series A) Novi Sad, 1978 © Katalin Kunstgeschichte fand, prägte Sammlungsdirektorin Gabriele Schor den Begriff Ladik „Feministische Avantgarde“ und brachte ihn in den kunsthistorischen Diskurs ein, um die Pionierleistung dieser Künstlerinnen hervorzuheben. Damit erweiterte sie den männlich dominierten Kanon der Avantgarden. Die Ausstellung gliedert sich in fünf Abschnitte: Reduktion auf Mutter, Hausfrau und Ehefrau, Rollenspiele, Schönheitsdiktate, weibliche Sexualität und das Eingesperrtsein sowie der Ausbrauch aus eindimensionalen Rollen. Viele der hier vertretenen Künstlerinnen entfernten sich vom männlich dominierten Genre der Malerei und wandten sich den Medien Fotografie, Video, Film und Performance zu.

Dabei gingen in den USA und in Europa die Künstlerinnen kollektiv vor und schufen ähnliche Werke, auch wenn sie sich unter einander nicht kannten. tour CCCB, Barcelona 19. Juli 2019–6.

Sie ist eine Firmensammlung mit zeitgenössischer, internationaler Ausrichtung. Im Jahr 2019 feierte sie ihr 15-jähriges Bestehen. Die Maxime „Tiefe statt Breite“ gilt als Grundsatz der Sammlung, nach dem ganze Werkgruppen erworben werden, die eine tiefergehende Auseinandersetzung mit einzelnen Künstlerinnen und Künstlern ermöglichen. Zwei thematische Schwerpunkte „Feministische Avantgarde der 1970er- Jahre“ und „Räume/Orte“ verleihen der Sammlung eine unverwechselbare Identität. Gabriele Schor erklärt: „Die beiden Schwerpunkte sind weniger als ‚Punkte’, sondern als Fluchtlinien im Sinne von Gilles Deleuze zu verstehen, die zwei Richtungen vorgeben und die wir als Spur in der Kunst seit 1970 bis heute verfolgen“. Im Themenfeld Feministische Avantgarde sind u.a. Werke von Eleanor Antin, Renate Bertlmann, VALIE EXPORT, Birgit Jürgenssen, Ana Mendieta, Hannah Wilke und Francesca Woodman versammelt, der Schwerpunkt Räume / Orte umfasst u.a. Arbeiten von Gordon Matta-Clark, Fred Sandback, Jeff Wall, Loan Nguyen, Teresa Hubbard/Alexander

SAM FRANCIS SELECTED WORKS: 1957-1994 EXHIBITION: AUGUST 6 - SEPTEMBER 18, 2016 SAMUEL VANHOEGAERDEN GALLERY – KNOKKE – 2016 Zeedijk 720 – 8300 Knokke – Belgium www.svhgallery.be – [email protected] Sam Francis working at Ashland Studio, Santa Monica, California, 1977. Photo by Meibao D. Nee. FOREWORD Sam Francis (1923 – 1994) is one of the most internationally acclaimed American Abstract Expressionists, but his works cannot be reduced to a single movement. He was always searching for innovative interpretations and manipulations of colour throughout the second half of the twentieth century. Francis maintained studios in Los Angeles, New York, Bern, Tokyo, and Paris, while exhibiting throughout the United States and Europe. This extensive travel placed his work within an international milieu. He went to Paris in 1950 and studied briefly at Fernand Leger’s academy, and also became heavily influenced by seeing original paintings by Pierre Bonnard, Henri Matisse, and Claude Monet. Whilst these artists focused on figuration and objects, Francis decided to focus on a timeless display of emotions. He wanted to bring colour to a surface, which appeared to be able to infinitely extend. The dripping organic forms serve as a reminder of his encounters during his early days with works produced by Mark Rothko and Clyfford Still. Sam Francis also spent a considerable amount of time in Japan during the 1950s, where he was influenced by the Japanese technique of using negative space, as well as Asian art theories and philosophies.

    Collaborative Cataloging Japan EIN 47-3235939 Collaborative Cataloging Japan FY16 Annual Report The three main programmatic areas planned for FY16—Collection Survey, Professional Exchange & Workshop, and Public Programs—gained tremendous momentum with presentations of 11 artists’ works in 4 Public Programs, 2 artists focused in research trips, 2 professional invited from New York to Tokyo, and 4 distinct programs presented in Tokyo including Collection Survey at artist Takahiko Iimura’s studio, Community Archiving Workshop, Lecture at Mori Art Museum, and Panel Discussion between Professor Mona Jimenez of Moving Image Archiving Program at New York University and Curator Akira Tochigi of National Film Center. In addition, CCJ grew is administrative and strategic capabilities with inclusion of the obtainment of its 501(c)3 status, initiation of part-time paid position for the Executive Director, first meetings with Japanese Advisory Group members in Tokyo, business plan consultation with Philadelphia Business Volunteer for the Arts, and consultation with development professional and accountants. The key development in FY2016 is the refinement of CCJ’s missions, its role in the field, and its directions. The three definitive areas of its mission—documentation, preservation, and dissemination/access—were articulated with its programs in FY16: The Collection Survey concerns with documentation; dissemination was accomplished by the Public Programs as well as with the conversations with the Japanese Advisory Group members who discussed the potential of CCJ’s Digital Platform project; preservation projects are discussed in FY17’s research project on Japanese Expanded Cinema. The following is a report of the activities of Public Programs, Collection Survey, Professional Exchange & Workshop, and the questions that were brought to the fore within the process of executing these programs.

  • Gendered Embodiment in Internet Culture the Practice of Women Internet Artists in Twenty-First Century Patriarchy
    Gendered Embodiment in Internet Culture The Practice of Women Internet Artists in Twenty-First Century Patriarchy Faith Holland Student Name: Jeanette Bisschops Student Number: 11151188 Supervisor: Dr. Miriam van Rijsingen Co-reader: Prof. Dr. Christa-Maria Lerm-Hayes MA, Art and Cultural Sciences: Art History, University of Amsterdam Master Thesis August 2016 2 Abstract This thesis explores the state of patriarchal power relations in contemporary online culture by examining gendered embodiment, performance and self-representation on the internet, guided by works of female internet artists. The study proposes to research the timeline of gender constructs in a system of patriarchy and the first artistic protests towards this system in the seventies and creates a link to gender constructs during the emergence of internet cultures and internet art. To illustrate the artistic critique in this discourse during the seventies, this study will analyze both a case study by Carolee Schneemann as well as by VALIE EXPORT. To examine critique on gendered embodiment in internet cultures, in-depth close readings of works by Shu-Lea Cheang, Faith Holland, Ann Hirsch, Amalia Ulman and Rupi Kaur will be provided. The results present and compare the artist’s motivations, constraints, setting of their work and responses and will paint a picture of the time line and the current state of patriarchal power relations. 3 Table of Contents Abstract ..........................................................................................................................................
