MYTHOLOGIES

Mardin Biennali, Mardin, Turkey Group show. Curated by: Claudia Segura Campins. This Biennial vehemently opposes the reduction of the local cultural milieu to an exhibition décor and the identification of the locals with an exhibition forced on them, in other words, to the branding of Mardin by an autocratic curator who imposes a certain view upon the city, its memory and its history. Instead, the proposal is to conceive the Biennial as a Mardin carnival, therefore evoking such concepts as game, chance, spontaneity, serendipidy, intimacy and collectivity as means for political resistance.

AN I FOR AN EYE 

Austrian Cultural Forum, NYC, US Group show. An I for an Eye – communicating Identity and Conflict in Art and Media. Curated by: Andreas Stadler and Stamatina Gregory. Participating artists: Wafaa Bilal (USA), Anetta Mona Chisa & Lucia Tkacova (Germany & Czech Republic), GRAM (Austria), Ad van Denderen (The Netherlands), Tarzan and Arab (Gaza, Palestinian National Authority), Rabih Mroue (Lebanon), Isabel Rocamora (UK/ Spain), Gerhard Rhüm (Austria), Larissa Sansour (UK), Dread Scott (USA), Hito Steyerl (Germany), Sharif Waked (Israel), Christoph Weber (Austria), Anna Witt (Austria). In this age of seemingly permanent global warfare, the experience of violent conflict is continually restaged in visual culture. Fiction films, documentaries, mainstream journalism, and user-generated media serve all too often as the ideological, consensus-building theater of conflict. Furthermore, representations of violent conflict in the still so-called “West” are increasingly rendered through a humanist, individualized, and even banal perspective—the “everyday” elements of conflict are deployed to affective ends. Good and evil follow the well established tracks of self-identification and the construction of the “Other”. Seen most clearly through the intimate renderings of soldiers, agents, and politicians in films such as Kathryn Bigelow’s Zero Dark Thirty (2012), the identificatory power of the personal overwhelmingly occludes the broader constructs of the political. The result is a complex, paradoxical process of attachment and detachment. While keeping the audience engaged with media consumption, it stays detached from the political process in the global arena of politics. Many contemporary artistic strategies, particularly those focused on subjectivity, have emerged at a moment in which the boundaries have collapsed between reportage and confessional; between politics and personal experience. The authority formerly attributed to the “eye” of the eyewitness account is more than ever intimately linked to the “I” of the viewer’s own process of identification. The artists in this exhibition foreground this complex politics of attachment, detachment, and affect in their counter-representations of conflict. Working in different regions and from within different contexts, they all share a particular focus on personal and distributed media, the cinematic, and the contemporary culture of spectacle. Ranging from the irreverent, deadpan, and parodic, to proposing historical counter-narratives or employing self-reflexive strategies of performance and appropriation, their strategies productively confront the perpetual emotion machine of contemporary visual culture.

29.03 - 28.07
AN IDEA OF BEAUTY

Strozzina Centro di Cultura Contemporànea, Palazzo Strozzi, Florence, Italy Group Show. Curated by: Franziska Nori. Participating artists: Vanessa Beecroft, Chiara Camoni, Andreas Gefeller, Alicja Kwade, Jean-Luc Mylayne, Isabel Rocamora, Anri Sala and Wilhelm Sasnal. Do we still need beauty in our society? Is it still a value, a goal, a tool for contemporary artists? Rediscovering an idea of beauty today means reconsidering our usual modes of identifying it, adopting a different approach to reality. Visitors to the exhibition will be presented with works of art by eight international contemporary artists soliciting their physical and emotional participation. These paintings, installations, sculptures, photographs and videos highlight the subjectivity with which art is viewed, triggering individual responses and reactions. Some revisit such traditional artistic genres as landscape and the human figure while others reflect on the power of beauty in its relation with nature or in its social dimension, in the power to transpose our gaze on ourselves, the others and the world around us. The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue published in Italian and English by Mandragora.

Moving Image Itineraries. From LOOP to SCREEN (2003-2013) is an artist film and video exhibition that embraces a decade of existence of the platform Screen Projects.   After launching LOOP (the first fair exclusively devoted to moving image art) and the SCREEN Festival, a reference event in the exhibition and discussion on moving image artistic practices which unfolds throughout the city of Barcelona and which has consolidated itself as the space to calibrate the state of audiovisual creation today.   LOOP was born in 2003, taking its name from one of the most characteristics strategies that video utilises when it breaks through as a medium, as a device and as a language in the 60s. Soon, what started as a tool additional to other practices evolved into becoming a category of art historiography as well as the art institution in itself, altering both of them equally. We are now situated under the conceptual umbrella of moving image, which embraces a porous and dynamic conception of audiovisual production, impossible to homogenize under one aesthetic or technical point of view. And this is how we get to the SCREEN, understood in this new horizon as the minimum support necessary alongside the presence of an audience to make cinema and video happen. This exhibition gathers a selection of pieces from the LOOP and SCREEN context that contribute to illustrate the diversity of practices and perspectives.

28.01 - 05.02
THE EYE OF THE COLLECTOR

Museum of Modern Art of Bologna (MAMbo), Villa delle Rose, Italy Group Show. The Eye of the Collector. Video works from the Collection Manuel de Santarén. Curated by: Julia Draganovic and Claudia Löffelholz. Artists: Maria José Arjona, Niklas Goldbach, Jesse Aron Green, William Lamson, McCallum and Tarry, Hans Op de Beeck, Chrischa Venus Oswald, Luigi Presicce, Isabel Rocamora, Janaina Tschäpe. The show at MAMbo - Villa delle Rose in Bologna presents eleven video installations that are based on performances produced not for a live audience but for the eye of a camera. With the exception of McCallum and Tarry and Isabel Rocamora the camera's fixed position prevails, simulating the standpoint of a non-involved viewer who keeps a constant distance from the events. The body, its relation to its environment and the physical interaction with others are at the center of every video: from the tableaux vivant by Niklas Goldbach, William Lamson or Luigi Presicce, the performances by Maria José Arjona and Jesse Aron Green which refer to minimal and conceptual art, body art related pieces like "HAUTNA---T" by Chrischa Venus Oswald, videos related to  choreography like the ones by McCallum and Tarry, Janaina Tschäpe or Isabel Rocamora to the strange living sculptures in Hans Op de Beeck's "The Stewarts have a Party". Manuel de Santaren is a Boston and Washington DC based collector whose main focus is New Media/Video based works. His extensive collection comprises works which focus primarily on performance, appropriation of mass media imagery, and animation.  Mr. de Santaren is the Co-Chair of the Photography Committee of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York where he has championed the acquisition and inclusion of video works for the permanent collection. He is also on the Board of Overseers of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston and an active participant in the Visiting Committee / Contemporary Art where he offers his knowledge and passion for time based works. Furthermore, he is member of the Executive Board of The Cisneros Fontanals Foundation based in Miami, Florida. The show will be accompanied by a publication with texts by Manuel de Santaren, Julia Draganović, Elena Forin, Claudia Löffelholz and Federica Patti.

21.01 - 01.05
DELIMITATIONS

2011

Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art, Israel Group Show. Curated by: Ghila Limon. Artists: Dora Garcia, Angela de la Cruz, Mateo Maté, Carlos Bunga, Carlos Irijalba, Isabel Rocamora, Cristina Lucas, Gerardo Custance, Fran Meana.  The paintings, installations, video works and photographs created by these Spanish artists all share a concern with process of delimitation and with the creation of various types of borders. They probe the boundaries between nations, between accepted and unaccepted forms of behaviour, between manmade, artificial environments and nature, between different historical periods, and between art, philosophy and life. The selection of works included in this exhibition reflect an interest in the definition of national identity; in questions conerning language, culture, immigration, and political history; in the role of the military in daily life; and in the individual's contribution to the formation of popular social movements. These concerns, which are central to the experience of life in Spain, resonate resonate strongly in an Israeli context, and may be related to the unprecedented massive demonstrations that erupted recently in Tel Aviv, Madrid and many other places in the world. The artist's presence for the exhibition is supported by the British Israeli Arts Training Scheme (BI ARTS) – a British Council initiative in partnership with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Culture and Sport in Israel.

VIDEO(S)TORIAS

2010-11

2010

Artium Museum of Contemporary Art, Vitoria, Basque Country, Spain Group show. Curated by: Blanca de la Torre and Imma Prieto. Artists include: Egènia Balcells / María Cañas / Carles Congost / Mabel Palacín / Cova Macias / María Ruido / Antoni Muntadas / Esther Partegàs / Cristina Lucas / Núria Font / Dora García / La Ribot / Alicia Framis / Pilar Albarracín / Juan Pérez Agirrecoikoa / Daniel García Andújar / Jordi Colomer / Anna Malagrida / Isabel Rocamora. The exhibition title, VideoStories, highlights the plurality of gazes and narratives that are articulated within these groupings—two of which are organized according to formal concerns, while the other two fit within a theoretical framework. Aware of these potential pitfalls, our survey is structured along four different thematic groupings: Teknés, Hybrids, Politics, Subjects. The exhibition title, VideoStories, highlights the plurality of gazes and narratives that are articulated within these groupings—two of which are organized according to formal concerns, while the other two fit within a theoretical framework. These sections are not meant to be mutually exclusive, and each of the subgroups is in fact intimately related and complementary to the others, despite being, as viewers will see, legitimately autonomous and independent. With this in mind, the four exhibition sections have been structured according to a route that is marked on the floor. The resulting visual plan may remind many of the metro maps found in any contemporary city, with stops indicated for each of the works. This configuration also conjures up the idea of a trip, one that allows viewers the possibility of selecting various itineraries, as well as transfers to other lines, or a complete loop of the entire show.The viewer is also afforded the possibility of selecting a final destination, since these last video installation stops, titled Próxima estación/ Next station, can be freely chosen by the visitor. In this final section, the visitor can see works that are not grouped along the main route, and aside from being set apart as potential last stops, the idea was to provide works that, as we have mentioned, form part of an “open” history. The exhibition structure is also intended to allude to those works of children's literature in which readers have a chance to “Choose their Own Adventure” and thus take an active role in developing the narrative. Since the exhibition plan is organized along transversals rather than parallels, at certain points some of the works link up to two or more stops. This aspect emphasizes the network or rootlike structure of the exhibition, which is intended both physically and conceptually. The objective is not to draw a conclusive analysis of how the medium has evolved, but to suggest four possible readings of this evolution based on the preceding concepts, with an open final destination and no intention of extracting any categorical conclusions. Given the impossibility of including all the artists or works that are significant in this medium, or even the conceptual frameworks in which they evolved, we have proposed this exhibition as an adventure, and perhaps as a starting point.

REMOTE VIEWING

Arts Santa Monica, Barcelona, Spain Group Show. Remote Viewing: the best of Loop.  Curated by Paul Young. REMOTE VIEWING aims to offer a sample of the most innovative work being done in the field of video art today together with a broad yet singular overview of the most representative areas of activity in video since 2000. The works have been selected from those presented by a variety of contemporary art galleries from around the world at the seven annual LOOP Barcelona video art fairs (2003-2009). The total of almost 50 pieces, including single-channel projections and videos shown on screens throughout the exhibition, explore different forms and formats — including methodologies derived from the world of film and other contemporary techniques — and themes such as the body, the idea of landscape, the social nature of art or humour as a medium for criticism.

19.11.09 - 04.02.10
REMOTE VIEWING

The Pacific Design Centre, Los Angeles, US Group show. Curated by Paul Young. “Remote Viewing: The Best of Loop” is an expansive exhibition featuring some of the most cutting edge video art coming out of Europe, the Middle East, Latin America and Asia. The show is co-sponsored by Loop Barcelona, Institut Ramon Llull, Spain, and InFocus® Corp. Curated by Paul Young, the author of “Art Cinema,” (Taschen, November 2009), the show explores the current state of video art practices worldwide, whether born out of contemporary studio practices or filmmaking methodologies. Nearly 40 single-channel projected works are included as well as nearly 30 monitor pieces. Most were selected from five-years worth of presentations at the annual Loop video festival in Spain, and each is represented by a different contemporary art gallery such as MK galerie (Rotterdam), DNA (Berlin), Vera Cortes (Portugal), Senda Gallery (Spain), Angels Gallery (Spain), Peter Kilchmann (Switzerland), Galerie Michel Rein (France), Chelouche Gallery (Israel), Galleria Continua (Italy), and Mizuma Art Gallery (Japan). Architect Matthew Gilio-Tenan designed seven black box spaces for two 4,000 sq ft spaces (one on the second floor and one of the fourth). Each presents approximately 8 videos/films in rotation throughout the day. The main room for example, uses a Cinemascope-sized screen to present a number of short films about cinema itself—its conventions, characters and formal properties. This program includes works by Nicolas Provost (the Netherlands), Maria Cañas (Spain), J Tobias Anderson (Sweden), Bill Morrison (US), Shoja Azari (Iran) and more. Another common theme explored in an adjacent gallery is that of body & landscape traditions (which includes works by Markus Schinwald [Austria], Marc Aschenbrenner [Germany], Yang Fudong [China] and Isabel Rocamora [Spain]). Beyond that is a gallery devoted to relational aesthetics, the temporal and play (with projects by Aggtelek [Spain], Kiran Subbaiah [India], John Wood & Paul Harrison [UK], and Euan Macdonald [US]). Political and social themes are tackled in another space (with videos by Regina Jose Galindo [Spain], Roth Stauffenberg (Germany), Jaime Pitarch [Spain]), while additional programs touch on formal and conceptual practices (Arturo Fuentes [Spain], Jin Kurashige [Japan] and Romeo Grunfelder [Germany]). Finally a number of artists explore humor and dada traditions with an appropriate amount of irreverence (David Shrigley and David Hubbard [UK], Susi Jirkuff [Austria], Guillaume Pinard [France]). The exhibition is designed to present a wide range of artistic practices currently being explored by international artists,” says Young. “Most of the work comes from larger studio practices, and much of it is highly polished and often wildly entertaining. Yet at the same time, it’s also very expressive of the times we’re living in, and much of it conveys a distinctly different point of view.” Some of that interest is in bringing video into the home or public space, where it can be enjoyed for years to come. Many of the monitor works, which have been added to compliment some of the thematic programs, as well as the projected wall works (by the likes of Jacco Olivier [Netherlands], Takehito Koganezawa [Japan] and Maider Fortune [France]) operate more like paintings, where a single image energizes an architectural space.
