STAGE FRIGHT! - GLASGOW

CCA and Suspect Culture Present: Stage Fright!an exhibition exploring the relationship between the gallery and the stage

“Theatre, of course, is rubbish. It happens in the evenings, when there are more exciting things to do, and it does go on a bit. It typically involves people dressing up and pretending to be other people, putting on accents and shouting too much. Since visual art practice has so decisively repudiated, problematised, complicated the whole business of pretending, it’s hardly surprising that the theatre, still apparently a way of representing away in complete naïvety, should be given a wide berth, involving, not infrequently, disdainful glances.” Nicholas Ridout on Art & Theatre

“Art degenerates as it approaches the condition of theatre” Michael Fried – Art and Objecthood

This Spring, CCA and experimental theatre group Suspect Culture present new collaboration, Stage Fright, an exhibition exploring the nature of theatricality.

The artists in the show, from theatre and visual arts backgrounds, are Nick Powell and Jonny Dawe (working collaboratively as OSKAR), David Greig, Luke Collins, Dan Rebellato, Patrick Macklin, Graham Eatough, and Sharon Smith and Felicity Croydon (working collaboratively as Max Factory).

In the exhibition, the artists come together to explore the meaning of theatricality in their different fields. Within the visual arts the term ‘theatrical’ has often been used to denigrate an artwork – it somehow seems to lack ‘authenticity’. In the theatre world, ‘theatricality’ is viewed as a more positive agent – it creates a mental space where the imagination is freed and anything is possible. More recently there has been a noticeable trend to rethink the idea of the theatrical in the visual arts. Perhaps marking a shift away from the strict conceptualism of the past, many artists have embraced the potential of theatre, acting and set design.

In Stage Fright each artist has produced work that tests the idea of theatricality within the framework of a gallery, where emphasis is often placed as much on the power of the object as on the ideas at play in an exhibition. Among the many works, Nick Powell and Jonny Dawe test the perceptual shifts created by a mechanised series of stage backdrops. David Greig makes visible the slow tangential process of writing, drawing it out in real time with all its pauses, empty moments, erasures and final drafts. Luke Collins, meanwhile, records the rehearsal process for a work in the making.

A programme of events will accompany the exhibition, for details please check the CCA website www.cca-glasgow.com

NO MAN'S LAND - LONDON

NO MAN’S LAND

PV 16th APRIL 2009, 6.30-10.00pm
Running 17 April – 03 MAY 2009
Thurs-Sun 12.00-17.00

Marcin Gajewski, Brendan Murphy, Vytis Puronas, Simon Read, Jeni Snell, Elaine Tribley, Simon Reuben White.

(Video, Painting, Sculpture, Installation, Photography and Sound).

Curated by Brendan Murphy, Cherie-Marie Veiderveld and Simon Reuben White

No Man’s Land is defined as an unoccupied area, land that is unowned and uninhabited (and possibly undesirable) and the ambiguous region between two categories or states or conditions (usually containing some features of both) where there is still a twilight zone, the tantalizing occurrences that are probably noise but might possibly be a signal.

Paul Virilio’s Dromology, whereby the increasing velocity of our global culture is driven by advances in technology and military innovation, suggests that reality is no longer defined by time and space. The high speed and seamless stream of culture that blurs experience allowing little or no opportunity to pause brings into existence the paradox of being everywhere at the same time and also being nowhere at all. A simple binary equation of reality and representation is no longer sufficient to decipher what we perceive.

In The Art of Travel, Alain de Botton echoes the correlation between what we experience and perceive and how this dominates our thought processes. He notes that journeys into expansive, alien or uninhabited spaces can bring about the opportunity for uninhibited reflection. “Large thoughts emerge from large views and new thoughts from new places”. All the works selected for this exhibition establish a littoral space, the region between high and low tide, or in-between space through contrast, defamiliarization or dislocation to slow things down and present possibilities for open thought and uninhibited contemplation.

INDIA ART SUMMIT 2009 - NEW DELHI

INDIA'S MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY ART FAIR

19TH - 22ND AUGUST 2009 Pragati Maidan (ITPO),
New Delhi - INDIA


Following the inaugural success of India’s first international art fair in 2008, the second edition is slated for the 19th – 22nd August 2009 in New Delhi, India.

In its very first year, India Art Summit™ attracted over 10,000 art enthusiasts over a span of three days which included art collectors, artists, critics, curators and students from across India and overseas. The 34 exhibiting galleries at the fair exhibited over 550 contemporary & modern artworks and sold over 50%, making India Art Summit™ one of the most successful first editions of an art fair across the world.

In 2009, the second edition of India’s international art fair promises to be much larger; showcasing the most diverse range of modern and contemporary paintings, sculpture, photography, mix media, prints, drawings and video art by established and upcoming artists. With over 50 top galleries from India and the Asian region, showcasing alongside western galleries to offer the world, a rich and fulfilling art experience in India.

From the 19th to the 22nd of August the Indian Art Summit, India's Modern and Contemporary Art Fair, will take place in New Delhi. The organisers have had a good response from galleries in the South Asian region, the Middle East, Europe and USA, however, the response from Australian galleries has not been as strong as they hoped it would be. Although applications to exhibit at the fair have officially closed, the fair managers have decided to extend the closing date for applications for any Australian gallery until the 10th of April.
