RUDOLF NUREYEV

Pierrot Lunaire
In his desire to expand his art to other forms of dance, Rudolf Nureyev performed this choreography by Glen Tetley many times and in many countries, and included it in the repertoire of his “Nureyev and Friends”.
He identified with this tragic character as with Fokine’s Petrouchka, another of his favourite roles. Glen Tetley resisted during five years before giving him this choreography, fearing that the intense personality of the dancer would overwhelm the innocence of Pierrot, but Rudolf revealed a deep vulnerability in this role. While he was rehearsing Pierrot lunaire with Tetley, he was being filmed in Valentino, and had started to choreograph his version of Romeo and Juliet. It is just an example of the extraordinary density and variety of his schedules. Martine Kahane

PAVEL BÜCHLER

Sound Poem

Studio Schwitters ist Pavel Büchlers Hommage an das Klanggedicht des Dada-Künstlers Kurt Schwitters, The Ursonate, seine „Ursonate“ oder die Vorstellung, wie eine Sonate vor der Erfindung der Sprache ausgesehen und geklungen hätte. Mit einem digitalen deutschen Sprachprogramm ließ Büchler den gesamten Text von The Ursonate lesen und produzierte eindrucksvoll seine eigene außerirdische Interpretation von Schwitters ‘einundzwanzigminütiger Originalversion der Sonate. Das Programm bringt die sehr klassische Struktur von Ursonate entschlossen zum Ausdruck, verändert Inhalt und Struktur radikal und verlängert das Stück auf neununddreißig Minuten. The Ursonate wird von vielen als eines der einflussreichsten und wichtigsten großen Klanggedichte des 20. Jahrhunderts angesehen und von Klangkünstlern auf der ganzen Welt neu interpretiert. Schwitters ‘eigene Aufnahme ging für viele Jahre verloren und tauchte schließlich Ende der 1980er Jahre in Holland auf. Pavel Büchler beschreibt seine Arbeit als „nichts geschehen lassen“ und betrachtet Kunst als Katalysator, um den Alltag und das Offensichtliche als letztendlich bizarr zu enthüllen. Er manipuliert Literatur, gefundene Objekte, alte Audioaufnahmen und Fotografien, veraltete Technologien und andere Medien und macht sie für die Gegenwart relevant.

Andreas Gursky makes large-scale, colour photographs distinctive for their incisive and critical look at the effect of capitalism and globalisation on contemporary life. Gursky studied under Bernd and Hilla Becher at the Düsseldorf Kunstakademie in the early 1980s and first adopted a style and method closely following Becher’s systematic approach to photography, creating small, black-and-white prints.

JUSTINE KHAMARA

Жюстин Khamara

You could think that the work of Melbourne-based artist Justine Khamara was digitally manipulated. Though Justine actually hand-cuts the photographs to rearrange and collage them afterwards. Some of the collages were even cut into thin strips then woven. Seeking to disrupt photography’s smooth, two-dimensional surfaces, Justine collages and builds sculptures entirely out of portrait photographs.

”En todo mi trabajo trato de dejar en claro que la moda es una expresión artística, demostrando y llevando el arte, y no sólo una herramienta funcional y carente de contenido o comerciales. Con mi trabajo me propongo mostrar que la moda sin duda puede tener un valor añadido al mundo, que es atemporal y que su consumo puede ser menos importante. Usar ropa puede crear una forma muy emocionante de la auto-expresión. “La forma sigue la función” no es un eslogan con el que estoy de acuerdo[…]”

JONATHAN SITTHIPHONH

“Les machines de Jonathan Sitthiphonh pourraient rappeler l’univers S.F. – les robots exosquelettes dans les films de James Cameron, notamment. Par leur archaïsme, elles pourraient aussi rappeler l’ingénierie léonardienne. Coincées entre le mythe d’Icare et le post-humain, elles matérialisent un rêve de dépassement des limites humaines. Mais sans l’exaucer. L’entreprise de l’artiste est ambitieuse, motivée. Il réalise minutieusement, à la main et avec des matériaux de récupération, ces prothèses en perfectionnement. Malgré les prouesses, elles restent fragiles et inefficaces, vouées à l’inertie. […]

Hanne lippard

Flesh
Lippard’s practice explores the voice as a medium. Her education in graphic design informs how language can be visually powerful; her texts are visual, rhythmic, and performative rather than purely informative, and her work is conveyed through a variety of disciplines, which include short films, sound pieces, installations and performance.more

MAURIZIO CATTELAN

マウリツィオ·カテラン
Маурицио Каттелана
Ci sono artisti che creano spunti per le riviste, e ce ne sono altri che si inventano riviste per darsi degli spunti. È il caso di Maurizio Cattelan, controverso esponente del panorama creativo contemporaneo, padovano di nascita ma “americano” per scelta, autodidatta e poi manager di sé stesso, autore, tra le altre cose, di happenings tra i più chiacchierati della storia dell’arte, quali forma di provocazione visiva estrema. Non bastassero le sue stesse produzioni a muovere gli animi, ci si mette pure una collezione, firmata a suo nome, di immagini raccolte qui e lì per poi essere impaginate insieme in un unico giornale, Toilet Paper, ideato dall’artista stesso in coppia con il fotografo Pierpaolo Ferrari e pubblicato dalla Deste Foundation for Contemporary Art di Atene.

Jorinder Voigt

Jorinde Voigt is a contemporary German artist. Known for her coded drawing installations which resemble algorithms or sound waves, Voigt’s background in music and philosophical studies established her ongoing interest in probing scientific mapping processes. Throughout an inventive and playful drawing practice, her work visualizes thoughts and infinite spaces while examining the way in which information is represented visually.

Oleg Soroko

Digital Substance

The parametric technology allows to generate a self-organizing system, that is, to open the essence of the universe as an infinite variety of possible self-organizing systems. The world is in constant process of self-development, but it is not chaos and not a set of known forms (cube, sphere, cylinder, from which you can build everything as Cezanne believed). Everything in the world (in the physical, biological and other reality) is in fluid, flexible, flowing, accelerating and decelerating movements that create tension, tears, force fields. And they are amazingly beautiful (attractors and fractals are their individual symptoms) and they exist before form and after form. It is not a solid, or lines in a space, but something that stands before and after the space.
