txt: about Tim Davies - www.artscouncilofwales.org

 

Tim Davies is part of a constituency of artists, working transnationally, who are committed to ‘place’ but also function in the world, who do not prescribe our understanding nor privilege their own by adopting an avant-garde position. Davies works by unpicking the locks of human experience, from a position already beyond Modernism, rather than leading any sort of futile charge against it. He asks that we explore the nature and meaning of that experience with him. He also embodies, in his practice, a role for the artist which has both intimacy and, at the same time, the wider reach necessary to access the individual and collective public mind and it is this which makes it a new, necessary kind of ‘public’ art (essay in The Butler Gallery’s Kilkenny Shift catalogue, 2009).

Sun, 27 Feb 2011 16:39:00 -0800 Venice Biennale 2011: Denmark http://oddtag.posterous.com/venice-biennale-2011-denmark http://oddtag.posterous.com/venice-biennale-2011-denmark

"Speech Matters" curator: Katerina Gregos link: The Danish Arts Agency  

txt: Danish Pavilion 2011 Curator's statement

 

The exhibition aims to provoke a considered debate and to complicate the issue of freedom of speech which seems, more and more, to be used as an empty slogan for political purposes, and subjected to a very simplified, biased or populist debate when in fact it is an extremely complex, often ambivalent issue which is contingent on subjective political, social, cultural, religious and personal circumstances. The discussion around freedom of speech is therefore not only complicated but also highly relative and debatable, and the exhibition aims to highlight these intricacies, ambiguities and grey areas, emphasizing the fact that freedom of speech cannot be exercised or applied in any programmatic or strictly proscribed manner. Why an exhibition on freedom of speech at this time? Because it is one of the key issues in the current public debate and one that is becoming increasingly contested given the steady erosion of civil liberties, even in the 'freer', Western world. Apart from the fact that it relates to Denmark specifically, it is also highly relevant in relation to much of what is happening in the world today from press intimidation and censorship in Russia and elsewhere, to the recent Google episode in China, down to other issues such as increasing surveillance in the UK and the USA, and highly charged debates on the limits of freedom of speech in several European countries such as the Netherlands. Finally, it also touches on the essence of visual artistic practice per se, which fundamentally entails conditions of freedom.

Hany’s work is provocative and enigmatic, said Venice Biennale Commissioner, Doug Hall. ‘It confronts the traditional notions of sculpture. The richness and depth of Hany’s work is greatly admired both here and internationally. I’m confident that international audiences will respond to it with keen interest. It will build on the strong presence of Shaun Gladwell and the other artists represented in the Once Removed exhibition presented in Venice in 2009.’ ‘The Venice Biennale is a crucial high-profile platform for visual artists the world over,” said Australia Council CEO Kathy Keele. ‘Of the reported 375,000 visitors to the 2009 exhibition, over 220,000 of them visited our Australian pavilion. Presenting to such a large audience is an immense opportunity for any artist. This time that honour falls on just one Australian artist, and I’m confident that Hany will build on Australia’s long presence at Venice and impress our international audiences with his unique and engaging works.’

The Spanish-Icelandic artist duo Libia Castro & Ólafur Ólafsson have been chosen to exhibit on Iceland’s behalf at the 54th International Art Exhibition - La Biennale di Venezia 2011. Their work is characterised by their at once attentive and critical, analytical and emotional gaze and their interest in identifying the many questions that the present raises. The trans-cultural tendency in today’s world and the complex relationships that spring from it is one of the artist’s main concerns, exploring relationships among art, everyday life, politics and transculturality. Castro, born in Madrid, and Ólafsson, born in Reykjavík – based in Rotterdam and Berlin and aptly referred to as “citizens of the world” – met in the Netherlands in 1997 and have been collaborating since.

Artist: Vesa-Pekka Rannikko Curator: Laura Köönikkä  

txt: Vesa-Pekka Rannikko Represents Finland at the 2011 Venice Biennale

My choice was influenced by the versatility and re-inventiveness of the artist as well as his ability to take charge of architectonic space. Rannikko’s international fame will also enhance Finland’s visibility at the multinational Biennale”, says exhibition curator Laura Köönikkä. Amongst Vesa-Pekka Rannikko’s most recognisable works are sculptures that reproduce objects in three dimensions, mimicking paintings. Rannikko has also created several location-specific works where the usual boundaries between viewer, work of art and space are blurred. His works challenge the limits of viewing and experience: an image becomes a material object while the space of the work becomes an image. Viewers feel impelled to question the veracity of many of the works, due to the juxtaposition of their theme and the way they are realised. For Rannikko, one starting point for the exhibition at the Venice Biennale is the Aalto Pavilion in Venice. Ceated by Alvar Aalto, it was originally meant to be a temporary structure. Now Rannikko is keen to explore its role and character as a stage for what is Finnish.

txt: Commissioner's Statement

 

In his Venice project, Markus Schinwald examines the Austrian Pavilion built 1934 by Josef Hoffmann, an architectural landmark in and around the Giardini district. Markus Schinwald, who scored success with complex installations he realized mainly in museums and art institutions outside Austria, as for example in Zurich, Frankfurt, Brussels, and Budapest, has a comprehensive oeuvre to show for, with his works combining performative with painterly, sculptural, filmic and architectural elements. With subtlety and finesse, Schinwald explores dispositifs of control, disciplining, and self-improvement, which inscribe themselves in the human body, shaping and pervading it to re-emerge on the body surface as psychologically charged inner worlds, visible and palpable. This approach also makes itself felt in his Biennale contribution: the viewer turns into a performer, the pavilion into a closed stage. By dissecting the interior space along vertical axes, a new mode of perception emerges which makes the human body its structural frame of reference: “Although these constructional components are of course architectural elements, it suggested itself to use psychoanalytical terms for a concise definition; after all, the space created is dissociative rather than than actually fragmented: claustrophobic above and nothing below. Or, if you will, the mind in neurosis, the crotch in psychosis. However, unlike in the spatial sculptures of Bruce Nauman or Robert Morris, the space intervention is not an autonomous act here, but also a kind of stage system or environment for the display of different works. It is, for one thing, an attempt to establish various different elements and, at the same time, to avoid explicit categorizations through contrastive positioning”, Markus Schinwald explains.

The Biennale is one of the most important forum about knowledge and the 'enlightenment' of new developments of international art. The title of 54. Exposition, ILLUMInations literally puts the spotlight on the importance of these developments in a globalized world.

Finally together four of the best cultural institutions in Venice: Conservatory Benedetto Marcello, Accademia di Belle Arti, Theater La Fenice , Venice Biennale. If good ideas will save us (and Venice), this is one of them. In times where money is too tight (to mention), join together must be one of the answers. Bis! Again please!

txt: Don Giovanni in Venice 23 > 25 September Palazzo Pisani, Conservatorio B. Marcello of Venice Labyrinth Opera

The Don Giovanni by Mozart becomes Don Giovanni a Venezia, a totally new opera installation that inaugurates the 54th Festival and presents itself as a synthesis of the themes running through it. A concentration of many simultaneous events – musical, scenic, theatrical, visual – dispersed throughout the spaces of the Conservatorio Benedetto Marcello in Venice and cyclically “switched on”, Don Giovanni a Venezia disrupts our perceptive habits and creates interference between different eras. Conceived by director Luca Francesconi, Don Giovanni a Venezia is a singular experiment in production with young artists from the Conservatorio Benedetto Marcello and the Accademia di Belle Arti who will measure themselves on the professional stage against the singers and musicians of one of the major opera theatres, the Teatro La Fenice, against the composers, soloists and actors involved in this operation. A complex stage organization, engaging over 130 artistic and technical professionals, made possible by the joint commitment of four Venetian institutions: the participants in this project by the Music Biennale are the Conservatorio Benedetto Marcello, which not only put its young musicians and composers to work, but also offered its historic headquarters at Palazzo Pisani in Campo Santo Stefano, one of the most fascinating Venetian palaces, as the venue for the performance; the Teatro La Fenice, which involved its entire choir and orchestra ensemble, and opened its storerooms to lend the costumes and props; and the Accademia di Belle Arti, which will create the sets for Palazzo Pisani.

Titled Don Giovanni and the man of stone, the Festival refers not only to the famous opera by Mozart, but to one of the central myths of western culture, the myth of Don Giovanni: within the conflict between human finiteness and its aspiration to eternity, between the body and the spirit, reverberates the relationship between the immortality of the work of art and the inexorable breath of time, between the written and the oral, between tradition and modernity. These themes weave through the 54th International Festival of Contemporary Music and find their synthesis in the opening event, the opera-installation Don Giovanni a Venezia.

txt: Introduction - the free guide of 17th Sidney Biennale (.pdf file)

Distance allows us to be ourselves, despite the many capacities we share. We are all the same, but different, and it is our differences that make us – according to the circumstances – beautiful, terrifying, attractive, boring, sexy, unsettling, fascinating, challenging, funny, stimulating, horrific, or even many of these all at once. All this is underlaid by our essential similarity to each other, often much greater than many care to acknowledge. More importantly, the idea of distance expresses the condition of art itself, which is to be of life, run parallel to life and sometimes to be about life. But for art to be art, it must maintain a distance from life because without this it has no authority. Art can reflect the sweetest or strongest of emotions and also represent the most threatening or traumatic events but, unlike in life, nobody gets hurt. And we do live at a time when our capacity for the destruction of both ourselves and nature seems to be unsurpassed.

Tue, 20 Apr 2010 21:19:49 -0700 Venice Biennale Dance: Marathon of the unexpected http://oddtag.posterous.com/venice-biennale-dance-marathon-of-the-unexpec http://oddtag.posterous.com/venice-biennale-dance-marathon-of-the-unexpec txt: www.labiennale.org - 7th Venice International Festival of Contemporary Dance
This year’s Festival takes a close look at a wide geographic area, with two focuses on Canada and Quebec, Australia and New Zealand, together with other new projects from Italy and elsewhere. Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal contend the primacy in dance with such cities as New York thanks to their major events that have been held for some years, such as the Festival International de Nouvelle Danse and the more recent BC Scéne, Festival TransAmériques, Push Festival, and through the ferment and variety of choreographic offering. Australia too offers more than 60 official dance companies, hundreds of independent artists and 21 universities offering institutional courses dedicated to dance, which all lead to this discipline gaining in breadth. But what is interesting above all is the cultural uniqueness of New Zealand, which blends an indigenous culture and 200 different nationalities. [...] Marathon of the Unexpected (June 12, Teatro Piccolo Arsenale) is the space dedicated to novelty that the Biennale has created within the Festival: all the pieces are new and lightning-fast – not more than 5 minutes each – and selected via a competition to try and provide visibility for works that would otherwise have little exposure. Go&Go Dance Party (June 12, Tese delle Vergini) will instead be an evening of shared festivity to celebrate the joy and beauty of dance and so crown the Festival.

Capturing Emotions is the title the director, Ismael Ivo, has chosen for this Festival, because dance, he writes, “is a workshop of human emotions and shared visions”. The Festival, organised in collaboration with the Fondazione Teatro La Fenice and with the expected support of the Veneto Region, focuses above all on two geographic and cultural macro-areas: Quebec and Canada on the one side, and Australia and New Zealand on the other, placing consolidated names such as those of Marie Chouinard and the Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montréal alongside young names – from Europe – that include the young and dynamic companies of the Kidd Pivot and Chunky Move. Alongside the active presence of artists from or working in these areas, the spaces of the Arsenale in Venice (Teatro alle Tese, Teatro Piccolo Arsenale, Tese delle Vergini), of the Teatro Malibran and of the Sale Apollinee in the Fenice, of the Teatro Fondamenta Nuove and of the Teatro Toniolo in Mestre will host choreographers from Italy, the United States and Sweden with original works presented as world premieres for the Biennale. A new feature for the Festival will be the opening of a separate space dedicated to the most experimental experiences in the field of dance, revealing pieces that would otherwise be little visible. Marathon of the Unexpected will be a space concentrated in a single day (12 June, from 3 to 10 p.m.) and comprising very short performances –not more than 15 minutes– to be chosen and presented on the basis of a call for entries (deadline 10th April 2010)
