Adrian Piper al PAC di Milano

15 mai 2024 à 16:55

Che il Padiglione d’Arte Contemporanea di Milano sia da alcuni anni una delle istituzioni pubbliche italiane più ricettive alle ricerche di artisti attenti ai contesti sociali, nonché alla performance è abbastanza noto tra gli addetti ai lavori: a definire tale identità ha contribuito in maniera cospicua la direzione artistica di Diego Sileo che, con competenza, curiosità e senza disdegnare la provocazione, dedica parte della programmazione a tale medium, attraverso mostre tanto di italiani quanto di figure internazionali, riannodando tragitti che segnano la storia dell’istituzione milanese. Quello che forse è meno evidente a chi non frequenta sistematicamente il PAC è che l’edificio stesso sembra favorire andamenti laterali rispetto alla tradizione delle arti visive, “naturalmente” aperto a esplorazioni che eludono “l’armadio chiuso” del modernismo: la grande vetrata affacciata sui giardini di Villa Reale è membrana osmotica con l’area verde retrostante, la sua continua mutevolezza cromatica e luminosa, la sua piacevole ma invadente presenza. E ugualmente il ballatoio che corre parallelo al vano centrale del piano terra si trasforma agevolmente nel balcone da cui assistere a quanto si svolge in basso. Un ideale loggione, tropo di una dimensione teatrale celata appena sotto la pelle dello spazio museale.

Dal 19 marzo e fino al 9 giugno, il PAC ospita la prima retrospettiva italiana di Adrian Piper (New York 1948), figura di spicco dell’arte post-concettuale statunitense, particolarmente rappresentativa per il costante impegno su aspetti e questioni legate al razzismo, ma con rare apparizioni italiane, tra cui il tempestivo Parlando a me stessa. L’autobiografia progressiva di un oggetto d’arte, edito in italiano da Marilena Bonomo nel 1975, con la presumibile mediazione di Sol Lewitt; il prestigioso Leone d’oro alla Biennale di Venezia del 2015, quella diretta da Owki Enwezor; la traduzione di Meta-art (1973) per Castelvecchi nel 2017 a cui aggiungere qualche inclusione di lavori in rassegne collettive. Sebbene la dimensione performativa a cui si è accennato in apertura, questa volta sia affidata solo alla documentazione fotografica e audiovisiva con cui si da conto di numerosi interventi di Piper, in particolare della splendida Funk Lessons (1983-85) tramite il film di Sam Samore, lo stile del curatore è ben riconoscibile. Infatti, tranne pochi lavori giovanili, tutto guarda al mondo, oltre i convenzionali problemi del visuale.

Il visitatore è accolto da un brusio di voci che provengono da installazioni sonore e video che punteggiano il percorso espositivo: una dimensione corale messa in evidenza sin dalle prime opere, con Negative Self-Portrait (1966), lavoro figurativo su carta, firmato “Adrienne”, subito prima quindi dell’adozione del più neutro – ma con sfumature maschili – Adrian. L’artista si presenta quindi con una identità multipla e sfaccettata: sebbene ricorra sovente alla propria immagine disegnata, fotografata, ripresa in video, i suoi connotati restano volutamente sfocati tanto rispetto all’appartenenza a un gruppo etnico definito – come avverte la definizione che campeggia su materiali promozionali dell’esposizione, Race Traitor – quanto dal punto di vista del genere. Se questo secondo aspetto è mobilitato solo indirettamente in The Mythic Being (1973-1980), Race Traitor è il titolo di un lavoro del 2018  in cui l’artista rielabora la riflessione sulla propria identità formulata quarant’anni prima, con i Political Self-Portraits (1978-1980), giocati sull’associazione tra la riproduzione della fotografia del passaporto – per antonomasia lo strumento di identificazione burocratica del cittadino – e una serie di eventi biografici in cui Piper ha preso coscienza del gruppo razziale a cui apparteneva o al quale gli altri ritenevano appartenesse. Il titolo della mostra, quindi, allude anche all’esperienza del passing, tematizzata dall’artista in questi e altri interventi, rievocandone le ambiguità sulla scorta sia della tradizione letteraria, sia delle pressioni sociali.

Attraverso approcci spiazzanti, Piper lavora per erodere le linee delle costruzioni sociali che dividono le persone in gruppi razziali: dalla riproposizione dei cliché al loro ribaltamento, fino all’esplorazione di situazioni in cui i presenti – visitatori inclusi – sono disorientati. In tal senso si muove la celebre installazione Cornered (1988) in cui il pubblico del museo diventa anche il destinatario del monologo della professoressa Adrian Piper[1], trasmesso da un televisore installato tra due certificati di nascita in cui un medesimo individuo viene definito “octoroon” nel 1953 e “white” nel 1965.

Nel video, infatti, Piper spiega – rivolgendosi direttamente al visitatore in sala – proprio l’impossibilità teorica di definirsi bianco o nero nella società statunitense, dove i contatti tra i due gruppi sono antichi e ramificati. La sensazione di essere parte in causa, parte del problema, di essere tra gli interlocutori dell’artista non ci abbandona mai: dal reiterato impiego del pronome “you” nei titoli, fino all’adozione dell’indagine sociologica che nella serie Close to Home (1987) fa emergere – potenzialmente nelle biografie di ciascuno – omissioni circa il proprio inconfessato razzismo; dalle luci che alternativamente si accendono e si spengono in Black Box /White Box (1992) trasformando l’osservatore in osservato al ricorso agli specchi in Das Ding-an-sich bin ich (2018).

Pur rinunciando alla narrazione lineare con l’intento di calare il pubblico nel bel mezzo delle prove di un coro, in cui le voci si alternano e si sovrappongono, la mostra dipana una conversazione che copre una carriera lunga quasi sei decadi, puntellata da prestigiosi riconoscimenti, come si deduce dalle collezioni da cui provengono i pezzi in mostra, coerente nel nucleo semantico ma diversificata per medium e stili, dai lavori d’esordio debitori dell’arte concettuale, fino alle recenti animazioni digitali, passando per installazioni, video e variazioni attorno all’impiego della fotografia e della scrittura.

Tra le opere stilisticamente più sorprendenti i Vanilla Nightmares (1986-1989, fig. 6) disegni a carboncino eseguiti sulle pagine del New York Times. Resi celebri dalle riflessioni di Hal Foster in Il ritorno del reale, le opere insistono sulle paure che alimentano il razzismo: con fisionomie esagerate e corpi vistosamente erotizzati, l’artista tratteggia donne e uomini bianchi e neri che visivamente interagiscono con le figure riprodotte nelle pubblicità o fotografate per la cronaca, e in generale entrano in risonanza con le notizie relative al Sudafrica pubblicate dal quotidiano. Ma dal vero si apprezza quanto il tratto, volutamente caricaturale e semplificato, non si sottragga alle atmosfere neoespressioniste di quegli anni, mettendo ancora una volta in comunicazione personale e collettivo, pubblico e privato, e con un approccio intersezionale ante litteram.

[1] Oltre che artista visiva, Piper ha insegnato filosofia teoretica in numerosi atenei statunitensi; dal 2005 vive a Berlino.

MUSAE. Future Foodscapes

Par : Arshake
4 avril 2024 à 19:47

MUSAE, un progetto volto a definire un modello innovativo per l’integrazione della collaborazione artistica nei Digital Innovation Hubs europei attraverso una metodologia Design Futures Art-driven (DFA), annuncia una mostra di due giorni “Future Foodscapes” che si terrà il 9-10 aprile presso l’edificio storico dell’Università di Barcellona per presentare opere d’arte basate sugli scenari futuri sul tema del “cibo come medicina” sviluppati dagli artisti del progetto MUSAE.

Le opere d’arte sono nate dal progetto MUSAE, sostenuto da Horizon Europe attraverso S+T+ARTS e portato avanti da una rete di università, centri di ricerca tecnologica e aziende tecnologiche con l’obiettivo di definire un modello innovativo di Design Futures Art-driven (DFA) per integrare la collaborazione artistica negli European Digital Innovation Hubs (E-DIHs). L’obiettivo di MUSAE è quello di sperimentare un nuovo modello di collaborazione, chiamato MUSAE Factory, basato sull’innovazione guidata dall’arte e sui futuri del design per guidare le imprese tecnologiche nell’immaginare nuove soluzioni per migliorare la sostenibilità della catena del valore alimentare a diversi livelli.

La mostra prenderà il via martedì 9 aprile alle 18.00 nella splendida sala dell’edificio storico dell’Università di Barcellona. Ogni artista presenterà il proprio lavoro, offrendo approfondimenti sui propri processi creativi e sulle proprie ispirazioni. Seguirà un cocktail per favorire il networking e la discussione tra i partecipanti.

Il 14 marzo MUSAE ha lanciato il secondo bando aperto per la selezione di undici teams, composti da un artista e una PMI, che parteciperanno a un programma di residenza della durata di dieci mesi e creeranno concetti e prototipi orientati al futuro di TRL 5. Almeno un team (artista e PMI) sarà selezionato in modo specifico da uno dei Paesi in via di sviluppo.

I candidati dovranno scegliere uno dei dodici scenari futuri creati nell’ambito del primo programma di residenza MUSAE S+T+ARTS. Gli scenari futuri fungono da contesto di esplorazione per i team che desiderano lavorare e sviluppare concetti e prototipi. Gli scenari futuri coprono un’ampia gamma di argomenti nell’area del “cibo come medicina”. Tutti gli scenari possono essere esplorati in modo più dettagliato sul sito web di MUSAE. I team di artisti e PMI devono candidarsi con una proposta che descriva l’opportunità dello scenario indicato nel brief, su cui vorrebbero lavorare e sviluppare durante il programma di residenza adottando il metodo Design Futures Art-driven.

La residenza durerà dieci mesi in modalità ibrida, con viaggi programmati nelle sedi dei diversi partner in Europa. Nella prima fase i team lavoreranno alla generazione di concetti e nella seconda alla costruzione di prototipi. I team saranno supportati dalle competenze del consorzio in materia di arte e design (Politecnico di Milano, Gluon, Università di Barcellona), nutrizione (University College di Dublino) e tecnologie di robotica, IA e wearables (Ab.Acus, PAL Robotics, Università di Barcellona, Università di Manchester, Università di Belgrado). Al termine del programma di residenza, sarà organizzata una mostra pubblica a Bruxelles, in Belgio, per esporre i prototipi sviluppati a un vasto pubblico. Ogni team può richiedere un contributo di 80.000 euro, che deve includere tutti i costi correlati.

Call for entries

The Anthropocene Project

While Anthropocene (actually only proposed as a new epoch of geologic time, following the Holocene) is an officially not yet definitely defined period of time during which human activities are thought to have had a significant impact on the global environment, regarded as having begun sometime between twelve thousand years ago, with the spread of agriculture, and two hundred years ago, with the advent of industrialization, as a topic of the media art context of The Anthropocene Project, the term is going far beyond marking the contradictory relationship between (the volatile transitory character of) human nature and (sustainable) nature, the significant human impact on ecosystems, including the human-caused climate change, biodiversity loss etc.

Deadline: 29 February 2024, 24h
Call for Entries

Open Call- “Wash my fur, but don’t make me wet”
Climate protection with displacement. Wash my fur, but don’t get me wet.

64th exhibition of GG3 3.5.2024 – 14.6.2024 Berlin
The majority of society wants climate protection, but does not want to change. It becomes nervous, susceptible to fossil lobby campaigns, superstitions and right-wing influences.
People are in favor of doing something about man-made global warming, but they still want to fly on vacation. One denies one’s own fossil addiction. The other countries, the politicians, should take action against the climate crisis. People don’t want to see their own responsibility as voters for political parties and as consumers of flights, cars and goods who cause CO2‚ emissions. Of course, something should change, just not in your own life. Science calls this behavior cognitive dissonance.
The artworks in the gallery and front garden are intended to refer to the generic term “displacement of man-made global warming, outside to the displacement of specific problems of the locations:
1. park path at the Waldemar bridge: Cyclists and scooter riders displace the driving ban in the park
2. park path south of the lake: the greenery on the walls is being damaged for graffiti. The sprayers suppress the importance of the climbing greenery for people.
3rd, 4th sidewalks near the stairs into the park: Litter is dumped or thrown down. The actors suppress the fact that the litter usually disturbs pedestrians and residents.
5th lake: The lake is over-fertilized due to the prohibited feeding of aquatic animals. The feeders suppress the adverse effects on animals, water quality and the plants of the lake.
Plan of the exhibition
6. and 7. works to suppress man-made global warming.
Exhibition in the gallery and front garden: Tuesdays and Fridays 5-8 p.m., on the sidewalk, in the park and on the lake two days each 4-6 p.m.

call: Supergau 2025

Par : netty
21 décembre 2023 à 11:11

Deadline: 12 February 2024
Call for entries

Open Call
Supergau is an imaginary landscape, a culturally primaeval landscape!
Supergau is temporarily limited and, during the festival, superimposes itself like a second layer over the existing topography of one of each of the five Gaue (regions) of Salzburg (Flachgau, Lungau, Pinzgau, Pongau, Tennengau)
https://www.supergau.org/

What is Supergau?
Supergau is freed from the supposed dominance of the city with its programmed cultural spaces, freed from municipal museums, theatres, cabaret stages, that need to be filled by a target audience. Freed from the concept of the public space because Supergau knows only landscape.
Supergau is surface and depth at the same time. Supergau has forest- and meadowscapes, mountainscapes, housescapes, asphalt- and concretescapes. All these and other landscapes can become a stage at Supergau, an artistic field of action. Supergau is a festival that takes place exclusively outdoors.

The biennial festival celebrated its premiere in Flachgau in 2021 and transformed Lungau into a Supergau for contemporary arts in 2023. The festival will continue in Pinzgau in 2025.

Supergau invites artists to take their time for the festival and therefore enables residencies in advance that offer the opportunity to work on site, conduct research and engage in dialogue. The entire creation process, the development of a Supergau dramaturgy and the joint development of content with the participants is an essential part of the festival. This Open Call marks the beginning of the Supergau, which will culminate in the ten-day festival for contemporary arts in late May/early June 2025.

What are we looking for?
– Artistic contributions outdoors
– Artists from various disciplines who will join us in exploring the question
of what the countryside can do as an art- and as production-space,
what the city cannot do and what new forms of encounter and dialogue
we can create here
– Artists engaged with the questions, problems and potentials of this
region
– Spatial art that can cover entire meadows, forests, lakes, squares or
motorways, for example
– Cross-disciplinary works that enter into collaborations with visitors,
residents, local initiatives or associations
Mixed teams with participants from fields other than art are possible (e.g.
from science, agriculture, health, education, crafts).
1 The province of Salzburg is divided into five political districts and one statutory city, the City of Salzburg. The districts are still commonly referred to as Gaue (as landscape areas). for contemporary arts

Locations
The third edition will transform Pinzgau into a Supergau for contemporary art. With its 2,641sqm, Pinzgau is the largest district in the province of Salzburg. The festival therefore focusses on the region between Krimml and Zell am See. The following towns are located in this area: Wald im Pinzgau, Neukirchen am Großvenediger, Bramberg, Hollersbach, Mittersill, Stuhlfelden, Uttendorf, Niedernsill, Kaprun and Piesendorf.
A connecting element is the Salzach river, which originates in Vorderkrimml and runs through all the villages in the upper Salzach valley. The Kitzbühel Alps in the north and the Hohe Tauern in the south (highest mountain:
Großvenediger, 3,657m) characterise not only the landscape, but also local life. It is a difficult balancing act between ecological protection and economic utilisation of the impressive natural area, large part of which is legally protected as the Hohe Tauern National Park. This makes it necessary for the submissions to deal with possible limitations and restrictions due to nature conservation.
The approximately 40,000 people in this select region live on just under 1000sqkm. Zell am See, with around 10,000 inhabitants, is the district capi tal of the Pinzgau. Primary economic sectors are tourism and agriculture.
As in many rural regions, the issue of emigration, land use and development, second homes and the effects of climate change on local life and (ski-)tourism also play a role here.
High water and flooding in the villages between Krimml with its waterfalls and Zell am See have led to an increase in protective measures, which are currently being worked on.
Even people from Salzburg often don‘t realise that the Pinzgau region has a natural border with Italy. This arduous passage over the Krimmler Tauern was one of the escape routes for Jewish travellers to Italy in 1947 to escape the persistent anti-Jewish climate and set off for Palestine via Trieste.
As in most rural regions of Austria, the local brass bands and folk cultural organisations are firmly anchored in the culture. But there is also room for regional museums and initiatives with venues for contemporary art and culture.

APPLICATION DOCUMENTS
The remuneration will be processed in the form of a grant from the province of Salzburg.
All required documents must be sent as a single PDF file to kultur-wissenschaft@salzburg.gv.at

by Sunday, 12 February 2024, 23:59 at the latest.

The required PDF with a maximum number of eight pages and a maximum file size of 10 MB must contain the following information:

– Short outline of the project (max. five sentences explaining the essence of the project. The short description is for publication on the Supergau
website)

Remuneration
The total budget for the Open Call is 220,000 euros. Together with a jury
of experts, the artistic director selects projects that can apply within two
categories:
A. up to € 15.000,–
B. up to € 30.000,–

OBSESSIONS - Take part in a photography exhibition in Berlin!

 



Deadline: 31 May 2021


"In their creative practice, many artists gravitate towards certain ideas that are intruding on their mind and to which they keep on returning over and over again - some forms of obsessions that drive them to create. The extraordinary perseverance and the willingness to take risks that arise from them are often the driving force that feeds artists’ productivity, allowing them to grow in their practice and deliver exceptional outcomes while expanding their singular universe.


Where is the line between returning to a theme or an idea over and over again and an obsessive behavior? Do artists nurture a pathological obsession with their creations, or is it on the contrary the necessary force that will help them persevering despite all the obstacles they will encounter along the way, allowing them to reach a certain form of greatness? 


What kind of obsession drives you in your quest for images? What does it reveal about yourself and how does your photographic practice help you grow, both artistically and personally? Does it bring clarity to your deepest interrogations or have any kind of therapeutic function, for yourself or for the people involved in your projects? Does the fact of diving into the obsessions of your inner world help you existing or resisting in an anxious context like the one we are facing now?


All approaches to the topic are welcome, we are looking forward to discovering the ideas that are invading your mind!"


Entry fee

5€ (single image) - 10€ (3 images) - 15€ (series)


Prizes and awards:

The selected artists will take part in a collective exhibition at the gallery "Tête" in Berlin in July 2021.

PAN e METAPAN a Napoli

Par : Arshake
8 mars 2024 à 09:22

Il PAN | Palazzo delle Arti Napoli, istituzione ospitata negli spazi di Palazzo Carafa di Roccella, in tempi non sospetti è stato molto attivo su tematiche d’avanguardia come le ricerche attorno al digitale, è in procinto di riaprire i suoi spazi nel 2025 come Museo dell’Immagine.

Pensato come centro di ricerca, con una programmazione curata da Vincenzo Trione, avvia ora le sue attività con il METAPAN, che anticipa anche l’architettura legata alla ristrutturazione dell’architetto Giovanni Francesco Frascino che intende “ripensare l’attuale configurazione del PAN, riaffermando con forza l’originaria vocazione urbana dell’edificio settecentesco”.

“Alla riapertura”, così annuncia il comunicato stampa, “gli spazi del museo comunale saranno destinati al Museo dell’Immagine. Fotografia, cinema, digital art, ma anche pittura e scultura in dialogo con i nuovi media. Museo come territorio dell’iconosfera. Un luogo in cui scoprire come le immagini oggi si trasformano, si contaminano e si ibridano, contribuendo a mutare il mondo che abitiamo”.

Il METAPAN inaugura le attività di questo spazio nel Metaverso con una meta operazione curata da Maria Grazia Mattei, direttrice del MEET a Milano e Valentino Catricalà, con il lavoro di quattro artisti italiani che lavorano su scala internazionale: Chiara Passa, Davide Quayola, Auriea Harvey e Bianco-Valente. Il tutto si avvale della supervisione tecnica dell’architetto Giuliano Bora, che ha realizzato lo spazio all’interno di una piattaforma immersiva tridimensionale in maniera estremamente curata.

Dopo aver attraversato il viale e ammirato l’architettura del futuro PAN, si entra al suo interno dove le i quattro progetti dei rispettivi artisti selezionati sono immaginati come site specific, quattro diversi modi di invitare il pubblico nel progetto futuro architettonico ed espositivo, diverse tipologie di produzione artistica traslate in esperienza nello spazio.

Sulla sinistra si entra nel progetto di Chiara Passa, dove la sua serie di Object Oriented Stones, sculture tridimensionali fruibili in realtà aumentata, è traslata nello spazio virtuale. Entrando all’interno di una gigantesca pietra-scultura, si esplora il paesaggio in maniera giocosa invitati a catturare le dieci pietre che del paesaggio sono parte integrante.

Sulla destra la stanza dedicata a Quayola, artista che pone il suo lavoro tra reale e artificiale, tra tradizione modernità attraverso un ampio uso di algoritmi, presenta la Laocoön Sequence, traslazione della sua serie di studi sul Lacoonte nel digitale, presentate in uno spazio espositivo virtuale molto curato, anche per quello che riguarda l’illuminazione.

Proseguendo, incontriamo il lavoro dell’artista e scultrice Auriea Harvey che catapulta il nostro alter ego virtuale una ziggurat perduta, una stanza ma anche una condizione che scaturisce da mistero e inquietudine, posto inospitale dal quale si rimane però attratti, complice anche il suono che accompagna la permanenza.

Il duo Bianco Valente mette in relazione linguaggio umano e sistemi informatici. Il lavoro, ma soprattutto la loro presenza in questo progetto, due artisti da sempre interessati alla dualità corpo-mente e impegnati in progetti relazionali per lo più legati al territorio alle comunità di tutto il mondo, la città natale Napoli in primis, lascia intravedere l’intenzione di una progettualità del PAN che si pone tra più dimensioni, su un piano interdisciplinare, e senza mai perdere di vista le radici con il territorio.

METAPAN, a cura di Maria Grazia Mattei, direttrore del MEET a Milano e Valentino Catricalà
Artisti: Chiara Passa, Davide Quayola, Auriea Harvey and Bianco-Valente.
