SKOR is proud to present Fear Cure, a new video by Finnish artist Pilvi Takala made from a collection of her visits to NLP (Neuro-linguistic programming) coaches in an attempt to be cured of her fear of swine flu and the impending flu epidemic. The work brings to the foreground how NLP methodologises the reorganization of human perception and physiological responses through altering associative imagery in the subconscious mind.
Fear Cure was produced as part of Prologues for SKOR’s debut in the series of symposia Actors, Agents and Attendants: Speculations for the Cultural Organisations of Civility, held on October 29 and 30 October, 2010 in Felix Meritis.

Culture(s) of Copy



Culture(s) of Copy
An exhibiton for art and copy
26 November 2010 - 20 Februar 2011
at Edith Russ Site for Media Art
Opening: Thursday, 25 November 2010, 7 p.m.
Press conference: Wednesday, 24 November 2010, 2 p.m.

Culture(s) of Copy is about the phenomenon of the copy as a global cultural strategy. The discussion of intellectual property, as it has already been treated in diverse ways, is only one angle from which one can approach the topic. The ‘copy’ here is understood positively as a remake, a cultural translation and an achievement (“You have to copy a master to become a master”, “The best way to appreciate a master is to copy him”). The phenomenon of the copy is seen as a rewarding opportunity to understand and reflect on cultural differences beyond the rather poor terms of a dichotomy of East and West.

The Politics of the Invisible Hand


"Annex 6. The Politics of the Invisible Hand"

Participating artists: Milijana Babic (Rijeka), Phil Collins (Berlin/Glasgow), Johnson & Johnson (Tallinn), Flo Kasearu (Tallinn), OÜ Visible Solutions (Tallinn), R.E.P. group (Kiev), Pilvi Takala (Amsterdam/Helsinki), Sener Özmen & Erkan Özgen (Istanbul) and Katarina Zdjelar (Belgrade/Rotterdam).
Curator: Rael Artel

The exhibition "Annex 6. The Politics of the Invisible Hand" is a contributing part of this year's ART IST KUKU NU UT festival that in itself is a preparation and run-up to next year's festival. The subjective study of the contemporary art scene in Tartu, a publication accompanying the project, maps the positions and movements, visions and structures in Tartu as a certain point in time and space. However, the exhibition that forms an annex to this study has a somewhat broader relationship with the topic. The goal is to review and analyze the socio-economic situation that is the inevitable background system for a contemporary cultural production. The work that paves the way for new nuggets of knowledge and cognitive nuances has been performed with the means offered by contemporary art and the study group is composed of a selection of artists who are active in Europe and treat the surrounding environment with a sharp eye. Main working methods include (self-)ironic distancing, demonstrative gestures and ambivalent images of comparison from life itself.
This exhibition "Annex 6. The Politics of the Invisible Hand" has no strict center or a certain leading narrative, it should rather be seen as the subjective selection of the various activity logics of "the invisible hand" and our responses to those movements. One must remember that "the invisible hand" that Adam Smith phrased and that became a metaphor for self-regulation in economics is indeed invisible, i.e. we do not see the hand, but rather the result of its action. True, in one case the artists managed to capture the hand on thermal camera, but there is still much unexplained in the hand's micro-movements. It directs, regulates and forces us to act in the ways it want. We are surrounded by the puppet theater of an invisible hand…
All works are penetrated by the parallel, crossing and penetrating topics that we can only start to articulate in keywords. The first topical direction is formed by works that reflect back specifically on the position of art and the artist, reflecting on the creative environment around them – they ridicule the principles of creative economy that the national cultural policy has adapted for them; make (self-)ironical remarks on the social position, survival means, working methods and "client relations"of the artist; visualize the problems of intellectual work. Doesn't it sound ridiculous, this direct, automatic and careless transfer of economic principles to the field of art and cultural production? Do we not talk too often about a mission instead of real income? Is being an artist more a matter of faith than anything else?
Another topical keyword might be the wanna-be mentality as a completely respectable road to a professional position, income, peace of mind. Artists depict – and perhaps secretly also ridicule – the attempts by themselves and other to be better than others, to be someone else, to imitate success and that winning mentality, to hide one's weaknesses, and to talk loudly of great successes. This portion of the works seems to outline this mental space that is filled with dominating values and is shaped by the media, employers, politicians and the entertainment industry. The locally grown neoliberal karaoke-capitalism, the foolish optimism that for years fed the economic boom, the faith in the infinite economic growth and the free market - aren't these the compensation mechanisms for various inferiority complexes that might require us to stop and look around with a (self-)critical eye?
One of the popular understandings of art considers art to be a mirror that should reflect life and reality around us. We wish to satisfy the desires of the greater masses and show our audiences a mirror – in this exhibition there are no myths, only reality itself! While the distortions might be great and the exhibition might seem like a carnival mirror, I feel confident in assuring that life in Tartu, Estonia and the former Eastern Europe really is that distorted and misshapen like a delirious nightmare. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!

During the opening of the exhibition on Sept 8h, at 7 pm, a performance-product presentation by Visible Solutions LLC, and at 8 pm a screening of the "dünya dinlemiyor" ("the world won't listen") by Phil Collins will take place.

Goethe-Institut Hongkong and Edith Russ Site for Media Art in Oldenburg, Germany jointly present, in collaboration with Hong Kong Film Archive, the exhibition ‘Culture(s) of Copy’, a follow-up exhibition of the Institut’s ‘History Will Repeat Itself - Strategies of re-enactment in contemporary (media) art and performance’ (curated by KW Kunstwerke, Berlin, and Hartware, Dortmund) in 2008 and an earlier study of the Asian concept of ‘copy’, which was presented in the photo exhibition ‘Chinese Copy Art’ by Michael Wolf in 2007 at the Goethe-Institut Hongkong.

The exhibition ‘Culture(s) of Copy’ initiates from the exhibition that the Goethe-Institut Hongkong presented two years ago under the title ‘History Will Repeat Itself’. As that exhibition took a Western approach, we had in mind to follow up the topic with an exhibition from a perspective that involves Asia. It became clear that the term REPEAT should translate into COPY. ‘Culture(s) of Copy’ is about the phenomenon of the copy as a global cultural strategy. The discussion of intellectual property, as it has already been treated in diverse ways, is only one angle from which one can approach the topic. The ‘copy’ here is understood positively as a remake, a cultural translation and an achievement (“You have to copy a master to become a master”, “The best way to appreciate a master is to copy him”). The phenomenon of the copy is seen as a rewarding opportunity to understand and reflect on cultural differences beyond the rather poor terms of a dichotomy of East and West.

The works presented can be divided into different topics (’Archive’, ‘Theme Park’, ‘Claim of authenticity by media represented reality’, etc.). Some works use the stocks of art history. Existing artefacts of the economy or art are treated as an archive that one can make use of. The repetition of known formats and content is not for the sake of repetition, but for the sake of a new definition. The maxim of originality is thereby deliberately ignored – in the age of “copy and paste”, the creation of the NEW is bound by repetition, variation and cultural translation. Other themes include the process of copying itself and the relationship between context and content. Many of the works deal with the question of authenticity in a world in which reality is mediated mainly through the mass media.

Interestingly, languages are no exception. They don’t deliver what they are supposed to do: to find a title for this exhibition that is applicable to both the English language as well as the Chinese language proved to be nearly impossible. Words don’t copy, they translate.

The exhibition will later in the year be shown at Edith Russ Site for Media Art in Oldenburg, Germany from November 27, 2010 – February 2011.

With Applied Reality, Heden gets artists together for whom everyday reality not only is a source of inspiration, but apparently also at the same moment the artwork itself. Whether this reality does concern your own personal life, the wondrous world of advertising and corporate business, or something you come across in the street: the artworks at this exhibition very much resemble a reality which you also, and especially, will find outside the art world. Not applied art, but reality applied.

Bucharest Biennale


BUCHAREST BIENNALE 4
Handlung:
On Producing Possibilities
21 May – 25 July 2010

Opening/preview day: 20 May 2010

HANDLUNG. ON PRODUCING POSSIBILITIES

BB4 takes the ambiguity of the German term "Handlung" – that is impossible to translate in all its levels of meaning, but it is somehow located between action, activity, agency and participation, but at the same time it could also mean story or even narration – as a starting point to examine diverse practices, which are proposing various forms of action. BB4 attempts to scrutinize and to exhaust the promise – that might just be a supposition – of art taking place in the public sphere and is it thus creating possibilities for (political) action or does the artwork itself has already inherited this moment of action? Therefore, the exhibition rather tries to articulate questions and suggests different prospects than to formulate answers. BB4 will show artistic projects that deal with direct involvement in actions, participation and public space as well as community based art, but also works that are based on questioning, correcting and subverting history and historiography form, among others, a central point. The biennial aims to intensify the interaction with the urban and political context in Bucharest by inviting participants from different fields.

CURATOR

Felix Vogel (b. 1987) is researcher and curator. Studies in art history, media theory, philosophy and aesthetics at HfG Karlsruhe and Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. His research and curatorial practice is focused on the relations between aesthetics and the social sphere. Consequently, he is interested in areas linked to activism, gender, historical avant-gardes as well as participative architecture. In 2008 he edited two books for One Star Press (Paris): "Renaud Auguste-Dormeuil: Fin de représentation" and "Lia Perjovschi: Sense." and has written for different magazines, among others PAVILION, Cura, Displayer and AFI. Felix Vogel gave lectures in institutions such as Index (Stockholm), Evento (Bordeaux) and PAVILION UNICREDIT (Bucharest). He taught workshops and seminars at HEAD Geneva, Free Academy Bucharest and 1.Curatorial Symposium Sofia/Plovdiv. 
Felix Vogel lives and works in Berlin.

ARTISTS
The curator of BB4 has selected 37 participants/artists from 19 countries, who will show works produced between 1935 and 2010 and some of them specially for BUCHAREST BIENNALE.

Urban Research has been a successful program both at Directors Lounge Festival and in screenings in London, Hannover, Poznan, Freiburg, Essen, Dordrecht, St. Petersburg and Berlin. International artists present their vision of public space and urban landscapes. How is the condition of the public realm connected with urban space? Can we talk about urbanity as a common figure in urban life at all? Has public space been replaced by the electronic virtual spaces? Or, has public place been bounded, forcefully homogenized and “pacified” by surveillance and private security forces? Are there new developments, definitions and uses that make “public space” lively again? Artists find challenging views and concepts, or more importantly, they question anew the common concepts of urbanity.

UR1   Urban Research | Tomorrow, Night and Day



In the Aboriginal tradition “Dreamtime” is the ancient time of the myths. However, in Western concepts, the waking dreams in cities rather manifest a possible future, something that has the potential to become manifest from its yet virtual possibilities. According to Walter Benjamin, the day-dreaming of popular myths discloses potentials of future changes; and following those principles, the Situationists propagated dérive, the aimless strolling in the city as a cure against the false desires of the society of spectacle. The artists in this Urban Research program use vernacular, mundane urban settings and landscapes for their dreaming and imaginative shifts from the ordinary and expected. They may be read as much more than just a happy visual game.

And the moral of the story is…@ Witte de With


And the moral of the story is…
4 days of non-stop film / Morality Act III
4 – 7 February 2010

Open 24 hours/day: from Wednesday 3 February at 23:59 to Sunday 7 February at 23:59

Morality is Witte de With's year-long leitmotiv, defining an assemblage of projects subdivided into several acts. They include six group exhibitions, a symposium, performance program, publication and web platform. Act III is the film cycle titled And the moral of the story is…

This curated program presents moral tales as told by artists and film-makers through the medium of the moving image. The films range from mainstream to art-house movies, from technically complex works with elaborate scripts and settings to hand-held, "homemade" films. Due to the ease of its digital production, reproduction and distribution (legal or otherwise), film is now a ubiquitous medium. Used and abused in the form of propaganda, or employed more subtly to reinforce (and undermine) dominant modes of thinking in society, film is one of the most sophisticated ways to transmit a moral message or explore a moral question.

... AND HOT WINE PUNCH, BEER AND SNACKS TO KEEP YOU WARM.

Google maps is not merely the guarentee for a smoothly oriented tourist holiday, but also a preemptive strike against all the flaws and perils of an unpredictable journey, the mooching stranger, the muscle ache, the horrendous taxi bill. Its straightforward connection between A and B is the most obvious example of technologies' safeguarding design approach keeping us caught in the close neighbourhoods of ourselves.
Concomitant with arts reckless outlook for the unknown, the sequence of 12 artist videos follows another approach to traveling - a cartography beyond the map, a search for another world to walk through. Composing a chaotic, multi-layered journey, the videos presented try to re-route roads and paths and re-insert fantastic creatures back onto the landscape. Don't get to far out. And, watch your step!

The screening accompanies the current group show *Burn, Baby, Burn!* which is still on view until January 30. You can see the show Tuesday through Friday, from 11:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M, Saturdays from 12:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M and by appointment. For further information give us a call at 030 77 902 302 or send us an e-mail: mail@duveberlin.com.

Talk at Finnish Academy of Fine Art

PILVI TAKALA JA AHMET OGUT
Time: Wednesday 13h January 6-8 pm
Venue: Auditorium, Academy of Fine Arts, Kaikukatu 4

Ahmet Ogut works with a broad range of media including video, photography,
installation, drawing and printed media. His work often borrows from the
experience of everyday life, which he observes and then amplifies and alters
to expose its many contradictions. He weaves reality and fiction, success
and failure, human tragedies and comedies to explore the failings and gaps
of political and social structures.

Pilvi Takala works with narrative forms such as video, artist books and
performance. Her work is based on subtle interventions in specific social
settings, such as a work place, a local cafe or shopping mall. By breaking
the rules in a subtle but constructive way Takala's actions reveal, question
and eventually reinvent shared truths.

The International Finns in Contemporary Art

Kunsthalle Helsinki presents previously unexhibited work by acclaimed Finnish artists who work internationally.
Artists featured in the exhibition are Adel Abidin, Elina Brotherus, Minna L. Henriksson, Gun Holmström, Laura Horelli, Hannu Karjalainen, Ola Kolehmainen, Pia Lindman, Robert Lucander, Kirsi Mikkola, Pilvi Takala and Kristiina Uusitalo.
Finnish artists have always travelled to Europe to further their studies and to work. Finland is a remote country, where the art scene developed fairly late and could not provide a livelihood to very many artists. Leaving home was a natural and sometimes necessary option.
Today, the "hot spots" of art move at an ever-increasing rate as artists constantly search for new things. Europe’s Mecca of art is currently Berlin, where there are also dozens of Finnish artists.
Travelling elsewhere is not the only way of being international, however: it can also consist of exchange, networking and hospitality. Artists’ residences have sprung up all over the world, Finland included: communities where artists from different countries work side by side.
– What is it like to work in an international setting? Why have Finnish artists left their homeland, and what does Finnishness mean to them? What is the price of internationality?
The exhibition is produced by the Finnish Art Society.
