Nine New Destinations at Instituto Cultural Inhotim, Brumadinho, Brazil

Nine New Destinations at Instituto Cultural Inhotim, Brumadinho, Brazil

from VernissageTV art tv on November 16, 2009
Duration: 0
Instituto Inhotim in Brumadinho, Brazil, recently inaugurated nine permanent large-scale works, Nine New Destinations, by the artists Chris Burden, Doug Aitken, Edgard de Souza, Janet Cardiff George Bures Miller, Jorge Macchi, Matthew Barney, Rivane Neuenschwander, Valeska Soares, and Yayoi Kusama. Inhotim is a museum complex, formed by a non-linear sequence of pavilions in the midst of a botanical garden. The new works are assembled at the top of a mountain, inside dense woods, amidst eucalyptus trees, and behind a large lake. The integration and harmony between art and the environment is an essential part of Inhotim s concept. Among the works is small hilltop building in which visitors listen to a live feed of sounds taken from a couple hundred meters within the earth via geological microphones. The work by Doug Aitken called Sonic Pavilion creates a site-specific situation in which architecture fuses with an invisible artwork that is ever changing. Another work is by Argentinian artist Jorge Macchi. Macchi is known for his watercolors of commonplace objects re-imagined as surrealistic situations reflecting different psychological states. For Inhotim, Jorge Macchi rendered one of his watercolors for the first time in three-dimensional form: the work Piscina is a sculptural realization of Macchi s drawing of a telephone book with alphabetized tabs, transformed into a site-specific work that is also a functioning swimming pool. Nine New Destinations has been curated by Allan Schwartzman, Jochen Volz, and Rodrigo Moura. The opening event on October 2, 2009, featured a performance by Arto Lindsay. This video is the first segment by our new correspondents in Brazil, Daniel Rubim and Igor Vidor. Enjoy!

Jenny Holzer: Light Projections in Basel / Fondation Beyeler

from VernissageTV art tv on November 13, 2009
Duration: 0
An essential part of the Jenny Holzer exhibition at Fondation Beyeler in Riehen / Basel in Switzerland is a series of projections in public space. Since 1996 Jenny Holzer has created light projections in public spaces around the world, at sites including the glass pyramid at the Louvre in Paris and the facade of the Guggenheim Museum in New York. With these large scale projections, the texts she uses in these works enter a dialogue with the public building on which they are projected, its look and its history. The texts used in these projections at times are Holzer s own, and in other times are the work of others such as Wisława Szymborska (the Polish Nobel Prize winner for literature), and the American poet Henri Cole. This video documents the light projections onto Basel s City Hall (November 1, 2009), Basel s Cathedral (November 3, 2009), and the Swiss Railway Station (Bahnhof SBB, November 5, 2009). The first projection at Fondation Beyeler is part of our video about the opening of Jenny Holzer s exhibition at the Fondation Beyeler. Upcoming projections will be in Zürich (Lindenhof, projection over the Limmat, November 11 22, 2009) and in Binningen (Margarethenhügel, 2nd week of January, 2010). The exhibition at Fondation Beyeler is accompanied by a series of events. On January 12, 2010 there s an artist talk, Jenny Holzer in conversation with Jacques Herzog, Herzog De Meuron Architects.

Not everyone knows that Pablo Picasso was born in Málaga. The Museo Picasso Málaga was created in response to Pablo Picasso s desire for his work to be seen in the city where he was born in 1881. The initial idea for the museum arose in 1953, from the contacts that took place between Pablo Picasso and the Provincial Delegate for Fine Arts in Málaga. In this video, the new artistic director of the museum, José Lebrero Stals, explains why it took 30 years until a museum with his work was realized in his home town. He also talks about the origins of the permanent collection of the museum, the museum s departments and his future plans. As he points out, the museum will have a close look at the influence Pablo Picasso still has on contemporary artists. In a temporary exhibition, the museum is currently showing a retrospective exhibition on the work of the Swiss artist Sophie Taeuber-Arp. An exhibition walk-through and interview with the show s curator Estrella de Diego follows in the next episode. The Museo Picasso Málaga in Málaga, Spain, is run by the Foundation Museo Picasso de Málaga and the Foundation Paul, Christine y Bernard Ruiz-Picasso. The Paul, Christine and Bernanrd Ruiz-Picasso Foundation is the owner of the Collection, while the Museo Picasso de Málaga Foundation owns the museum buildings. Museo Picasso Málaga, Spain.

During Frieze Art Fair 2009, The Embassy, a multi-disciplinary group show, presented works by Marco Brambilla, Terence Koh, Rosey Chan, Tom Gallant, Alastair Mackie, Oliver Clegg, Wolfe von Lenkiewicz, Bruce French, Henry Hudson, Michael Lisle-Taylor, Laurence Owen, Karim Rabik, Hugo Wilson and Yarisal Kublitz. Curated by Dellal and Xerxes Cook, the exhibition was intended to be a parody of outmoded cultural diplomacy in the form of an anonymous country’s embassy, a dystopia whose tyrannical government has tested the patience of its people and brought them to tipping point. The show was produced by Alex Dellal s 20 Hoxton Square Projects, in collaboration with Zoom Art Projects. A mixture of painting, sculpture and installation, works featured in The Embassy include a national anthem by the pianist Rosey Chan, a presidential palace built from mud by Alastair Mackie, a flag by Tom Gallant, and former service man, Michael Lisle-Taylor will present his Tournament of the Dirty Nurse, an ornately embroidered boxing ring still covered in the blood, sweat and tears from bouts that have taken place within it. Other works include paintings on old school desks by Oliver Clegg, lungs in three stages of the pulmonary cycle shock, agitation and panic by Hugo Wilson and caricature regal portraits by Henry Hudson in his distinctive plasticine style. (Excerpt from the press release). The Embassy took place at the former residence of the Sierra Leonean ambassador to Britain, 33 Portland Place.

At 9 a.m. on Wednesday 14th October 2009, the last participant of British artist Antony Gormley s One Other project, Emma Burns, stepped onto the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square in London. The 30 year old medical photographer from Darlington is one of 2,400 people of all ages, backgrounds and cultures and from all over the UK which have participated in this unique piece of art. They have travelled from as far afield as Kirkwall on the Orkney Islands to Belfast, Northern Ireland to be part of this collective portrait of the UK of 2009. Antony Gormley s One Other has seen a different person take their place on the Fourth Plinth every hour, 24 hours a day for 100 days. The project has been commissioned by the Mayor of London and produced by Artichoke in partnership with Sky Arts, and supported by Arts Council England. The participants used her hour on the plinth in most different ways: There were activists, raising awareness for causes such as animal welfare, the environment, and human rights; creatives from painters to dancers who brought their art to the plinth; people who promoted themselves or their companies; and participants who simply did nothing. A full list of plinthers profiles can be found at www.oneandother.co.uk. Altogether 2,400 participants were chosen at random by computer algorithm from nearly 35,000 applications received via the website www.oneandother.co.uk and through post. There was no audition process. The only four criteria – participants must be aged 16 or over and must live, or be staying in, the UK, an equal number of men and women were chosen, and the population of the UK was represented proportionally by choosing a certain number of people from each region. Antony Gormley said: “Art should be for everyone, this was an experiment to see whether everyone could be involved in making it. Who can be represented in art? How can we make it? How can we experience it? These are questions that have exercised me for years. I am inspired and given hope by what we have done this last three months. Whatever goes on the plinth hereafter the square will never be the same; the memory of this summer’s living sculpture in all its diversity is indelible.” Antony Gormley was born in London in 1950. He has participated in major group shows such as the Venice Biennale and the Kassel Documenta 8. Angel of the North and Quantum Cloud on the Thames in Greenwich are amongst the most known examples of contemporary British sculpture. The Fourth Plinth project is funded by the Mayor of London and Arts Council England, London. It involves a rolling program of contemporary art commissions to be installed temporarily on the empty plinth in Trafalgar Square. Previous projects have been realized by Marc Quinn, Thomas Schütte, Mark Wallinger, Bill Woodrow, Rachel Whiteread.
