VOLTA5 - BASEL

For Volta Basel 2009, think.21would like to propose an exhibition that invites the viewer to put his sensorial abilities into full alert. Just like illusionists, who cultivate the art of misleading one’s senses and succeed into capturing the marvelled attention of their spectators with tricks and “magic”, Stephan Balleux, Arnaud Gerniers and Lincoln Schatz create work that fascinates by its ability to lead the viewer into unexpected visual experiences. Touching upon various subjects in their respective artistic research, their work doesn’t fail to surprise and captivate one’s attention.

SHANA LUTKER - STOCKHOLM

Shana Lutker - "Forever Will a Blockhead Be"
Wednesday, May 27, 6-8pm

Inspired by dream analysis, psychoanalytic practice, actual objects, and historical documents, Shana Lutker’s conceptual works explore the boundaries between the subjective and objective nature of reality. Working with a variety of media, including drawing, sculpture, performance and installation, Lutker reframes familiar objects and clichés, and addresses archetypical anxieties such as desperation, guilt, shame and loneliness. Disabling the frameworks and assumptions we rely on between reality, time and history, Lutker exposes the instability of knowledge, and resultant anxieties between the individual and civilization.

Shana Lutker was born in Northport, 1978, New York, and received her MFA from UCLA in 2005. She has exhibited widely throughout the U.S., and had exhibitions in Europe as well. Her work has been written about in the New York Times, Art Review, and Time Out New York. Lutker lives and works in Los Angeles, CA.

*The artist will be present at the opening.
*The exhibition runs until July 3, 2009.

CHAPTER 8 - BRUXELLES

Chapter 8 - If you don't buy it from us... it's not our problem!


“If You Don’t Buy It from Us It’s Not Our Problem”, is an exhibition inspired by the bottomless hunger of the consumer machine. In his first solo exhibition at think.21, American artist Michael Salter will take over the gallery space with an installation combining a large scale robot, a singing banana, and a 23 m. fluorescent yellow wall covered with poignant, absurd and baffling drawings.

Michael Salter considers himself an obsessive observer of contemporary visual culture, where graphics and corporate identities, signage and symbols are used to communicate the culture of commerce. These images wield tremendous power in the visual landscape we occupy. Salter is fascinated, disgusted and hypnotised by this influx of images. As media seeks to deliver its consumer message in an infinite number of exposure points, Salter questions this motivation and stands critical of a visual culture driven primarily by commerce.

Through observation, cataloguing, reinterpretation and re-contextualisation, Salter processes his response to the visual landscape of corporate branding, logos, and taglines. His work is realised in series of digitally drawn icons, slogans and 3 dimensional signage filled with illogic, cynicism, absurdity and humor. His icons capture the authoritative nature of visual branding and subvert its power. Far from being a simple parody, his work intends to incite investigation and nurture responses of new narratives.

Salter’s explores issues of consumerism in various ways. He creates robots of various shapes and sizes, called Styrobots, which are made of polystyrene packing pieces puzzled together. His Styrobots are informed by Minimalism, Sci-Fi, Duchamp, toys and character design. Salter uses the polystyrene found in computer, toys or electrical appliances boxes. The combination of the various pieces results in huge installations or miniature sculptures thus creating a playful and unsettling experience while commenting on waste, the re-use of discarded material, and our uneasy relationship technology. The object itself can appear intriguing and beautiful.
At first it appears to be a friendly machine, yet after close inspection it nevertheless reveals a much alarming reality. The polystyrene robot becomes a fearsome symbol of human consuming folly that is set to destroy mankind.

MORALE HAZARD TALK -

This Saturday, May 23 at 11:00 am

Exhibiting artist Mark Wentzel discusses his installation Morale Hazard, and the range of aesthetic, social, and conceptual concerns that influence his practice. Personal history (Wentzel was raised in Detroit), economic realities (the current auto industry crisis), and site specificity (the Contemporary’s building which was a former truck repair facility), all played a part in his thinking about this exhibition.

ART OF IMAGINATION: Works of imagination originate when artists express their awareness of some significant relationship with larger forces in an effort to reveal their secrets. This genre is called by many names - fantastic realism, surrealism and visionary art.

Though all artists have a creative vision, the fantastic and highly imaginative artists of this group are of another realm. They have each created astounding works that reflect the theme of this exhibition in their own unique way. The society has chosen the title 'Art of Imagination' because it is the least restrictive, yet most unifying. BRIGID MARLIN, founder of this prestigious international organization and ERNST FUCHS, its honorary president, host exhibitions in London, Japan, Denmark and New York.

SEED: A center for the culmination of visionary exploration.
A gallery devoted to unveiling the beauty of our existence. The in-house visionary arts collective, a collaborative team of established and up-and-coming artists, will assist Seed Gallery in promoting and pursuing artistic inspiration.

I NEED SPACE - PARIS

I NEED SPACE
Exposition personnelle d'Aurélie Mathigot

Je vous ai dit qu’un tableau ne devrait pas être un trompe-l’oeil, mais un trompe-l’esprit.
Pablo Picasso

...Aux armes, et cætera, grappe de brosses à cheveux (sus)pendues recouvertes d’une peau de coton crocheté gris, rose et argent, amène au contraire une distance. Non pas critique ou ironique, mais prudente et pleine d’humour. Attention Mesdames de ne plus se tromper de combat. Il ne s’agit plus de revendiquer une division sexuelle du travail artistique et de rivaliser avec le geste du sculpteur, option anti-mythe Rodin, mais simplement de déplacer une pratique artisanale dans le champ des arts plastiques. Ce mouvement conduit le regard à fixer de manière plus intime notre quotidien (objets domestiques, paysages, images télévisuelles), à s’en approcher pour y pister les idéologies ambiantes, invisibles mais nuisibles. Viendraient donc plus légitimement à l’esprit les figures de Louise Bourgeois, plus récemment de Christelle Familiari et ses Cagoules pour amoureux ou encore le travail sur le langage et l’intime de Jenny Holzer, « les hommes ne vous protègent plus ».

... Aurélie Mathigot ruse, « trompe-l’esprit » par ses enveloppes textiles, cocons faussement protecteurs, véritables envahisseurs du quotidien. Ses leurres, substituts ou artifices posent l’attention sur l’usage même de ces représentations et des objets qui les peuplent. Mises en abyme des pratiques de recouvrement de l’artiste, les notions de surabondance, d’envahissement, et par conséquence de consumérisme et de surproduction, se retrouvent en filigrane dans chacune des pièces présentées dans cette exposition.
Une grappe monochrome blanche et compacte de fruits sans saveur, sans odeur, sans couleur, sans vie, comme fossilisés. Des branches d’arbres recouvertes de napperons, de laines épaisses et brutes, de cire donnant alors à la surface un aspect crémeux, moisi, rongée par les champignons potentiellement protecteurs ou destructeurs. Un livre écrasé sous le poids du mobilier domestique, sous le poids de la télévision. Une photographie d’ordures perlées et brodées. La broderie, la perle, la dentelle qui recouvrent et se substituent dans certains cas aux objets matriciels, cristallisent, plombent, fabriquent une cuirasse, rendent inévitables le motif et la forme. Cet apport de matière (plus ou moins précieuse par sa brillance ou sa pureté) ajoute au sentiment d’oppression déjà omniprésent dans les assemblages et installations d’Aurélie Mathigot.
I need space, installation composée d’une photographie de paysage champêtre (champ vert, ciel bleu et bergerie) rebrodée sur une large bande centrale verticale, d’un néon rose portant haut et fort l’expression d’un besoin d’espace et de liberté, « I need space », et d’un ensemble de lettres au crochet qui, à la manière d’une ombre portée, forme la phrase « I need money », condition souterraine et inévitable à ce désir d’expansion.

Se découpant sur champ d’azur / La ferme était fausse bien sûr, / Et le chaume servant de toit Synthétique comme il se doit.[…] (Georges Brassens, Histoire de faussaire, 1976)
