The
Museum of Russian Art (MoRA) in Jersey City presents |
|
OBJECT
/ SELF / SUBJECT |
|
An
exhibition of new technologies in art
March 26 through April 4, 2011 |
|
Opening
reception on Saturday, March 26, 3pm to 6pm |
|
|
|
|
|
Conceived,
created and curated by Igor Molochevski and Artem Mirolevich. |
|
OBJECT
/ SELF / SUBJECT features artworks using radical new
technologies. It showcases works of such artists as Lubo Borisov,
Igor Molochevski, Artem Mirolevich, Peter Patchen, Andrey Bartenev,
Ryan Roa, Anton S. Kandinsky, and Anton Trofymov. |
|
Today
we are beginning to notice that the new media are not just mechanical
gimmicks for creating worlds of illusion, but new languages with
new and unique powers of expression.
--Marshall McLuhan |
|
The 21st century
marks a new era in the history of art, one whose significance
can be compared only to the arrival of film in the 19th century.
Developments in artificial intelligence and human-interactive
technologies have given rise to new dilemmas that must be addressed
by art as the ever-vocal advocate of the human condition. This
strange and exuberant time has created a new breed of artists
who use technology as a mean of communication. It is a new language
that permits artists to create a connection between themselves
and their viewers. No longer will the work of art remain a static
phenomenon; instead, it is becoming a living entity that, with
the artist's guidance, can communicate with viewers on a personal
level. |
|
Through a language
alien to traditional forms of artistic expression, this new art
continues the quest to reunite subjective and objective reality
by reinventing itself. |

PASAPORTES

PASAPORTES
--The
suite of paintings Pasaportes is made up by several self-portraits
in which Akraka stages herself as both familiar and less known
characters to be found in various parts of the world and in different
times. Yet, they all originate from the depths of mysterious,
accepted or clichéd images of a black woman. Images she
has being confronted with as a black woman living in Sweden. In
Pasaportes Akraka evokes, embodies and occupies these images.
Akraka writes:
--I
know him a little, perhaps even enough. An African man. Black
with pink palms. My father. I did walk with him on a beach once.
An African beach. In his country. That’s 20 years ago. There
were miles and miles of sand, and miles and miles of palm trees.
He said: “They were planted by the colonial masters.”
To him these words were obvious in meaning. To me it meant something
else. I sensed something obscure. Diffuse and changing. Something
travelling. Through years and continents.
--A
heritage.
--Camilla
Akraka, born 1968 in Sweden graduated from the Royal College of
Art, Stockholm in 2001. She works with various materials such
as painting, sculpture, performance and animation. In 2000, in
collaboration with Kristina Matousch, she made an acclaimed performance/
installation Factum at Mejan gallery exhibiting body parts of
living people. In 2002 her short film Fatima was screened in Annecy,
France and at the Gothenburg Film festival.
--Pasaportes
is Akraka’s third solo exhibition with Angelika Knäpper
Gallery. In 2004 she presented paintings in Mrs Dell’s suite
and an animated short film Zeth, made in collaboration with Niclas
Malmström. --Bush
meat, 2006 showed both paintings and sculpture.

--The
Gallery “Paolo Erbetta Arte Contemporanea” is pleased
to present on 21st April 2011 Alessio Rota's (Giulianova, Italy,
1982) one-man show entitled Stop-motion curated by Antonella Palladino.
--The
artist's research comes from observing the contemporary city.
Urban visions, such as suburbs and anonymous areas that are at
the same time Full of Life, are represented. These recall to mind
John Fante. A street life that feeds itself with continuous disorder.
--Visions
appear on the canvas which are broken up into small pieces, perceived,
assimilated and than recomposed by the mind of a traveller artist
for whom it is impossible to stay stationary. It results in urban
scenery made of aerials and blocks of flats, signs, trains, placards,
premises, taverns…
--A
scenery that permeates throughout a narrative point of view but
never linear because it is broken into small pieces and that are
reproducible with information technologies in different and simultaneous
spaces…
--The
title Stop-motion is a clear reference to the filming technique
based on the photogram matching tranches de vie all different,
joining non-contiguous spaces and times.
--A
similar concept comes back in The conquest of time curated by
Derrick de Kerkhove: “These montages make fun of the representation
chaining points of view exploded from an Ubiquitarian perception
of the world”.
--The
canvases produced for the exhibition represent urban sceneries
of a global city made so by the direct diffused power of information.
It is not rare to find explicit references of news items, or to
notice the direct scenery of parts of life inside television screens.
Time and space become re-configured annulling any consequential
and ordered conception. Places enter into the virtual of multi-screen
society and stay as if suspended.
--The
representative technique alternates narrative parts (motion),
in which the use of chalk in abstract background painting (stop)
prevails, with an alternation of fullness and emptiness. The land
is full and the knowledge space, by now disconnected from the
territory, is empty.
--A
personal pictorial language suitable of creating the suspended
condition of contemporary man.
--“Real
human existence _ like the real encounter between men _ sees the
light, is perpetuated and finds its own unity in the element of
thought. It is suspended in emptiness”. (by Pierre Lévy).
--Finally,
black and white canvases, all of different format, represent the
condition of waiting. --Attention
is concentrated on details, on single scenes that are often drawn
from news items. To be questioned is the directionality of time
on the contemporary urban space.

--La
Galleria “Paolo Erbetta Arte Contemporanea” è
lieta di presentare, giovedì 21 aprile 2011, Stop-motion
personale di Alessio Rota (Giulianova, 1982) a cura di Antonella
Palladino.
--La
ricerca dell'artista nasce dall'osservare la città contemporanea.
Ad essere rappresentate sono visioni urbane come le periferie,
zone anonime ma allo stesso tempo Full of life, richiamando alla
memoria John Fante. Una vita di strada che si alimenta di continuo
disordine.
--Nelle
tele appaiono visioni frantumate, percepite, assimilate e poi
ricomposte dalla mente di un artista viaggiatore, per il quale
è impossibile restare immobili. Ne viene fuori un paesaggio
urbano fatto di antenne e palazzi, insegne, treni, cartelloni
pubblicitari, locali, bettole…
--Un
paesaggio che passa attraverso un punto di vista narrativo, ma
mai lineare, perché frammentato e riproducibile attraverso
le tecnologie dell'informazione in spazi altri e simultanei.
--Il
titolo Stop-motion è un chiaro riferimento alla tecnica
di ripresa fondata sull'accostamento di fotogrammi - tranches
de vie tutti diversi, mettendo insieme spazi e tempi non contigui.
--Un
concetto simile ritorna ne La conquista del tempo a cura di Derrick
de Kerkhove : “il montaggio cinematografico si prende gioco
della rappresentazione incatenando i punti di vista esplosi da
una percezione ubiquitaria del mondo.”
--Le
tele realizzate per la mostra rappresentano scenari urbani di
una città globale resa tale dal potere diffuso dell'informazione.
Non è raro trovare riferimenti espliciti ai fatti di cronaca,
o notare il passaggio diretto di parti di vita all'interno di
schermi televisivi. Il tempo e lo spazio vengono riconfigurati
annullando qualsiasi concezione consequenziale ed ordinata. I
luoghi entrano nel virtuale della società multischermo
e restano come sospesi.
--La
tecnica rappresentativa alterna parti narrative (motion) in cui
è prevalente l'uso del gessetto a campiture astratte (stop),
in un alternarsi di pieno e vuoto. La terra è piena e lo
spazio del sapere, ormai disconnesso dal territorio, è
vuoto.
--Un
linguaggio pittorico personale adatto a rendere la condizione
di sospensione dell'uomo contemporaneo.
--“L'esistenza
veramente umana - come il vero incontro tra gli uomini - nasce,
si perpetua e trova la propria unità nell'elemento del
pensiero. È sospesa nel vuoto” Pierre Lévy.
--Infine
tele, in bianco e nero, tutte di diverso formato, rappresentano
la condizione dell'attesa. --L'attenzione
si concentra sui dettagli, sulle singole scene spesso tratte dai
fatti di cronaca. Ad essere messa in discussione è la direzionalità
del tempo nello spazio urbano contemporaneo.

JAN
ROS: UNDER CONSTRUCTION, 25.03. - 07.05.2011
Between March 25 and May 7, Rasche Ripken Berlin will be presenting
a solo show with new works by Dutch painter Jan Ros (*1962, lives
and works in Amersfoort). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Jan
Ros: Zuckerkandl, 2011, 122 x 135 cm Berlin, 2011, 80 x 113 cm
(Öl auf Holz) |
|
|
--The
paintings by Jan Ros do not deny their photographic ancestry.
Whether automobiles or architecture, landscapes or interiors,
Ros’s process of painting always begins with photography,
yet proceeds from there to question the special conditions required
to (re)produce an object in the medium of paint. Ros responds
with a phenomenon that can be regarded as the central topos of
modernity: the blur, the passage, the dissolution of the body
and contours under fleeting observation. It is this perspective
that makes his city views in particular look like landscapes seen
from a passing car.
--So
it is not surprising that, besides architectural and landscape
scenes, Ros is always painting vehicles, including cars, ships,
and airplanes. These are pictorial vehicles that permit an inverse
view of the origins of mobility and speed (also in painting).
In an equally consequentially way, Ros has repeatedly revisited
the kinds of buildings presented as artifacts of early International
architecture, such as Haus Zuckerkandl by Walter Gropius in Jena
or Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona Pavillon, which would hardly
be conceivable without the automobile changes in our perception.
---Privat view: Friday, March 25,
7 pm. The exhibition is supported by the Kingdom of the Netherlands. |

TIKATHEK
A SOLO SHOW BY TIKA
Sat 26th March – Sat 23rd April 2011
Opening Friday, 25th March 2011, 19HR
|
|
|
|
--Skalitzers
presents TIKA's eagerly anticipated second solo show in Berlin.
Moving back and forward between cities, mediums and textures,
TIKA's works display a unique energy, reflective of her extensive
travels and perspectives on today’s global society, as well
as the nearly forgotten traditions and sagas of the past.
--Growing
up between Zurich, Cologne, Cairo and Brussels, TIKA has been
drawing, painting and creating since a young age, and first glued
hand drawn circus posters to the streets at the age of ten. Her
work can be seen on the streets of South Africa, Argentina, Brazil,
Mexico, US, China, Thailand and throughout Europe. --Currently
living and working between Zurich, Berlin and Rio de Janeiro,
with influences ranging from Aztec to graphic art, TIKA works
across a number of mediums including woodcuts, wood prints, wood
burnings, drawings, scratched and painted canvases, silkscreen
prints, stickers and blackbooks. Her work has been shown in numerous
exhibitions around the world, with solo shows in Cape Town, Rio
de Janeiro, Berlin, Vienna and Amsterdam.
--'TIKATHEK',
a fusion of the artist's name since 2003 and the German word 'Bibliothek',
draws from a diverse selection of works from her last few years
between Europe and South America, culminating with a recent three
month residency in Cape Town.
--Join
us at Skalitzers with the artist for the opening night of 'TIKATHEK'
on Friday 25th March, 2011.
--'When I create, I'm like a catalyzer,
all experiences and thoughts run through me and out again.' (TIKA)
