Sculptures made of earth, fire, water, air (part I) - Nuno Vicente

Sculptures made of earth, fire, water, air (part I)
Nuno Vicente
Response by Lauren Reid

http://www.nuno-vicente.com/

Kunstraum João Cocteau
Kienitzerstraße 98
12049 Berlin (U8 Boddinstraße/Leinestraße)

Opening 19:00 Thursday 2 August 2012
Ongoing 3 – 4 August 2-8pm

Sculptures made of earth, fire, water, air is a solo exhibition by Nuno Vicente. But this is no ordinary solo exhibition. Over a series of months Vicente will be presenting his artworks individually at João Cocteau. For each piece, he has invited a curator to work with him and build a dialogue around his chosen artwork. In doing so, Vicente has subtly turned the tables on the typical artist-curator dynamic: here it is the artist who is selecting a series of curators to respond to an existing framework, rather than the other way around.


Berlin

Ends 04.08.2012

The series will culminate in the release of a publication about the artworks as well as the respective outcomes from the curators, thus completing the narrative to appear as if a solo exhibition occurred in the traditional sense.

First up will be the video and installation Transformation of a dead body into a Foundation for Life (with a response by Lauren Reid):

Vicente was in Sardinia when he found a small dead turtle. He wanted to keep it for his art practice, waiting for the right moment to use it. One day he decided to burn it. He then blended the ashes with poured concrete to make two simple vessels for birds to feed from.

Ends 04.08.2012

In der Ausstellung Synthetic Struggle installieren die Künstlerinnen Maja Rohwetter und Gabriele Künne ein begehbares Szenarium visueller Erfahrungswelten.
Der spezielle Raum der ursprünglich als mobile Allzweckhalle konzipierten DDR-Architektur dient dabei als Grundlage für eine Reflexion über Raum zwischen Realität und Fiktion.
Orte mit komplexen architektonischen Strukturen, die trotz ihres realen Vorhandenseins fiktionale Aspekte beinhalten, bilden einen der Ausgangspunkte beider Künstlerinnen. Bezüge zu virtuellen Welten, digitalen Technologien und der in diesem Zusammenhang veränderten Wahrnehmung von Natur spielen bei dieser Arbeitsweise ebenso eine Rolle.

Going down the rabbit hole in physics terms is how far are you willing to discover your true nature. Alice and wonderland gives you an example. Once you go down everything goes crazy.
Feel free to Get Down the Rabbit Hole and open the door!
Alice in Wonderland is more than just a children's book and that the nonsense is not as random as it seems at the first glance.
"Who in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle!"
We're looking forward to meet you!

Es sind Lebenserfahrungen, Emotionen und Stimmungen, die in diesem Jahr die vier KünstlerInnen der Sommerausstellung Imaginarium in einer ganz besonderen Atmosphäre vereinen.

Erika Matsunami aus Japan entwirft mit ihrem Projekt "B.O.D.Y.(2000-2010)" ein audiovisuelles Konzept zum Thema Körper, in dem sie es schafft gleichzeitig extremste Nähe und Distanz zu verbinden. Um das Zentrum allen Ursprungs aus anderer Sicht geht es dagegen der deutschen Künstlerin Bettina Lüdicke, die mit ihren Wandobjekten jede Körperlichkeit hinter sich lässt, um der Imagination freien Raum zu geben.

Konkreter wird es wieder in der Arbeit von Eliana Heredia, die Himmel und Hölle zusammenführt. Die argentinische Künstlerin präsentiert ihre großformatige, sich wölbende Rauminstallation "Madeleine und das Feuer", um mit einem gewöhnlichen Gebrauchsmaterial auf verblüffende Art und Weise die Zerbrechlichkeit der menschlichen Beziehungen aufzuzeigen...

Ends 11.08.2012

'Transformers' is the Berlin manifestation of two years work by eleven graduating artists from the Transart Institute.
The Transart Institute has called upon Trampoline curators Miles Chalcraft and Anette Schäfer to oversee the presentation of final works developed over 2 years of rigorous development. We are invited to examine the fruition of their determined yet diverse trajectories, which have been harvested through the use of film, painting, digital graphics, installation, sculpture, photography and sound. Personal, social, cultural and political histories have been re-visited, re-interpreted, re-shaped and re-figured to reveal the depth of creative potential. Collectively, the body of MFA work speaks of transformation.

Architecture as Human Nature overcomes the traditional ideas of architecture by exposing artistic attitudes towards space at Supermarkt, Berlin-Wedding this August.
This exhibition explores some of the ways in which contemporary visual artists integrate with, overcome or deconstruct existing architectural forms, reaching beyond the traditional approach to architecture that encourages humans to create ordered and secure environments.
https://www.facebook.com/ArchitectureAsHumanNature/

Bringing together a rich mix of established and emerging international artists across a wide range of media including video, photography, site-specific installations and performance, the exhibition will illustrate the many possibilities of what architecture can be.

A project by Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien
The artists presented in the exhibition "Journey to Jerusalem" live and work in Berlin with many of them only having moved to Berlin a few years ago.
The common point in their work is that they refer to the artists’ own respective and diverse religious traditions and contexts, furthermore relating the inherent commandments and prohibitions. Their work expresses intersections of different traditions and personal environments and experiences, thereby dealing both with form and medium as well as with religious and art-historical traditions. Iwajla Klinke refers to baroque portraiture, Benyamin Reich to Dutch genre painting and history of photography, Zohar Freiman quotes and reflects upon the painters Balthus and Giotto, Trudy Dahan investigates artistic craft and oriental forms and objects, whilst Stevie Hanley approaches the topic of religion and taboo by dealing with the stylistic idiom of botanical and animal drawings.

Berlin

Ends 25.08.2012

Through the work “Double Flowers” Paula Muhr explores socio-cultural mechanisms and strategies of constructing sexuality, gender, desire and normality. She is especially interested in the historical and contemporary mediating role of photography and other lens-based media in the construction of knowledge as well as in the creation of social norms of acceptable and desirable appearance and behavior. She questions scientific and social practices reflected in medical portrait photography and written documents from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, juxtaposing them with contemporary medical material.
“Double Flowers” is an artistic reinterpretation of historical medical images of female psychiatric patients, predominantly of “hysterics” from the famous French clinic Salpetriere. The appropriated images, which originally served as an illustration, but also as an unambiguous objective evidence of illness and abnormality, are destabilised in their original function.

Denk-Zeichen Küstrin – Reminder Kostrzyn – Memento Kostrzyn

Nach seinem Fluchtversuch aus Preußen wurde Kronprinz Friedrich von seinem Vater Friedrich Wilhelm I. von 1730-1732 im Küstriner Schloss inhaftiert. Am 6. November 1730 ließ der König vor den Augen des Kronprinzen dessen Fluchthelfer und Freund Hans Hermann von Katte enthaupten. Noch ist die ehemalige Festung, in der sich das Schloss befand, nicht touristisch erschlossen und befindet sich in einem Zwischenstadium – außerhalb der Stadt Kostrzyn, aber direkt an der Landesgrenze Polens. Auf dem Ruinengelände der einstigen Festung Küstrin (heute Kostrzyn nad Odrą) haben elf internationale Künstler situationsspezifische Kunstwerke implantiert, die skulptural ungewöhnlich sind und den Charakter von Denk-Zeichen haben.

A Time Capsule is a container storing a selection of objects chosen as being typical of the present time, buried for discovery in the future. At this moment in human history, four time capsules have been launched into space— two Pioneer Plaques and the two Voyager Golden Records with the hope that other civilized spacefarers will find them. In 2014 the KEO satellite will be sent into space with individual messages from earthlings to be read by future earthlings when the satellite returns to earth in the year 52,000...

100 years ago, in 1912, Wassily Kandinsky published in the almanac "The Blue Rider" a text which seems to be a manifest on founding sound art - at least a foreshadowing of sound art. His writing "Über Bühnenkomposition" (On stage composition) is a theoretical preface on a planned stage piece called "Der gelbe Klang" (The yellow sound) and in this text he postulated a new connection between the arts, an "inner" connection of "sound, color, words" and movement. His piece was never realised in his lifetime.

The installation Der gelbe Klang2 (The yellow sound2) as a homage to Kandinsky takes his conceptual ideas and makes a transfer into a contemporary sound art piece. Georg Klein often works in his sound art installations with a certain color which defines togehter with a basic sound a fundamental atmosphere of a specific site, preparing a field in which more material - sounds, words, video - can appear.

You're invited to follow the amazing global art initiative 'FRAGILE - global performance chain journey' in which more than 750 artists from 62 countries are participating.
Can one fragile object, in times of email, chat and mobility, pass one time all around the world safely – from hand to hand, charging itself with stories and people? Will it be the same when it returns?

For the project, more than 750 artists from all over the world work together in one same action: all will carry one fragile object step by step around the planet.
The journey of the object and the works the artists will conceive during the project will be communicated on the website and in regular newsletters.
