Roy Andersson

A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence
A sense of depression is reflected in his reluctance to use close-ups or camera movement, yet Andersson has quite an eye for beautiful set-ups even within the restrictions he’s given himself. His sense of humor is deadpan and misanthropic yet humanist. Andersson’s dour wit isn’t far from Louie. A Pigeon Sat On a Branch Reflecting On Existence expects the worst from the human race but holds out a slim hope for the best.

JENNY HOLZER

Torso
Durante más de treinta años, Jenny Holzer ha presentado sus ideas, argumentos y dolores astringentes en lugares públicos y exposiciones internacionales, incluido el 7 World Trade Center, el Reichstag, la Bienal de Venecia, los Museos Guggenheim de Nueva York y Bilbao, y el Whitney. Museo de Arte Americano. Su medio, ya sea formulado como una camiseta, como una placa o como un letrero LED, es la escritura, y la dimensión pública es parte integral de la entrega de su trabajo. Comenzando en la década de 1970 con los carteles de la ciudad de Nueva York y hasta sus recientes proyecciones de luz sobre el paisaje y la arquitectura, su práctica ha rivalizado con la ignorancia y la violencia con el humor, la bondad y el coraje moral.

XU ZHEN

In een oogwenk
In een oogwenk is een groep artiesten te zien die mysterieus in de lucht zweeft en de beperkingen van de natuurkunde trotseert alsof ze bevroren zijn in tijd en ruimte. Het werk maakt gebruik van noties van het lichaam als materiaal, en op zijn beurt de materialiteit van het lichaam, waarbij de grenzen van fysieke en cognitieve mogelijkheden worden getest terwijl de kijker probeert te begrijpen wat we zien. De conceptueel gedreven praktijk van Zhen, een productieve en experimentele kunstenaar, omvat een breed scala aan media en maakt vaak gebruik van humor, ironie en verfijnde bedrog.

“Mobility, technological invention, and artistic invention “It’s not just about putting new media into art, or even making new media art. It is about making new media as an artist, about being an artist in new media. Therefore, if it is not only a question of renewing art by injecting it with new means, new tools, new subjects, it may be a matter of shifting its borders to the point of considering experiments, technological inventions, such as art-related events, as part of the artistic project ”. In my opinion, here is how to re-found art and breathe new life into it for years to come! Fujihata’s work leads us to think of Art as “technical conduct”. In this conduct, technique is not instrumentalised, it is therefore freed from having to serve FOR something, it does not have to be effaced in front of what it serves. But this notion is very “fragile” as Pierre-Damien Huyghe points out to us. Indeed, if the technique “is no longer used for” it is no longer “necessary”. We must therefore consider that what is not necessary is precisely what is useful. Highlighting the usefulness in a technique without going through a notion of service is precisely what is at stake in Masaki Fujiata’s artistic position. In his work, it is about exploring the possibilities of a group of techniques so that they do not end up in the use where they are usually agreed. At the heart of Fujihata’s work we are dealing with techniques rich in possibilities. The artist has an artistic conduct which does not seek the means to do something with these techniques but which seeks to discover them. The artist positions himself as a discoverer making both learned and humorous attempts … “Jorane Rest

« Scenario » de Merce Cunningham
Rei Kawakubo’s humorous costumes toy with the idea of physical distortions, such as humps and big rear ends. They are in mostly vertical blue stripes on white, or in pale green and white-checkered patterns. For much of the dance, five or six dancers twist and pose, each in his or her own space, with a rush of additional dancers to the stage toward the end of the performance. The bold electronic musical score is by Takehisa Kosugi.

Möbius Ship

The ambitious and imaginative structure of Hawkinson’s sculpture offers an uncanny visual metaphor for Melville’s epic tale, which is often considered the ultimate American novel. Möbius Ship also humorously refers to the mathematical concept of the Möbius Strip. Named after a nineteenth-century astronomer and mathematician, the Möbius Strip is a surface that has only one side, and exists as a continuous curve. Its simple yet complex spatial configuration presents a visual puzzle that parallels Hawkinson’s transformation of the mundane materials into something unexpected.

Untitled Door and Door Frame
Robert Gober’s work focuses around the themes of sexuality, relationships, religion, politics and nature. Working mostly in sculpture, surprisingly Gober doesn’t use found objects as a part of his work, but recreates these found objects himself and handcrafts them in his studios. Objects such as sinks, doors, cribs, chairs and body parts feature heavily in his work but yet all meticulously handmade. All the objects and installations in which Gober creates have a certain humorous element to them be it the half body that sticks out from the wall or the sink that has legs coming out of it.

Death Death Death
File Festival
“Death Death Death” is book written by an algorithm. It utilizes a word association study conducted by the University of South Florida between 1976 and 1998. It contains over 10,000 words and their associations to each other. “Death Death Death” traces a path from each word to the word death. The book starts off with the words most closely associated to death. The beginning reads like this: Life – Death Funeral – Death Coffin – Death. Later, it takes several associative leaps to get to death: Enthusiasm – Spirit – Soul – Death Folly – Funny – Sad – Death Bahamas – Paradise – Heaven – Death Waggle – Wiggle – Worm – Maggot – Death. Reading soon becomes humorous, as every line reads like a joke-death is always the punchline. “Death Death Death” is 405 pages, contains an index so you can find any word, and a detailed description of the algorithm. Death Death Death was nominated for the 2010 File Prix Lux in the Digital Languages category.

Martin Kersels

Tumble Room
Mr. Kersels was born in Los Angeles and attended UCLA for both his undergraduate and graduate educations, receiving a BA in art in 1984 and an MFA in 1995. His body of work ranges from the collaborative performances with the group SHRIMPS (1984-1993) to large-scale sculptures such as Tumble Room (2001). His interest in machines, entropy, sound, and dissolution has produced work that examines the dynamic tension between failure and success, the individual and the group, and the thin line between humor and misfortune.

SAMSTAG (Samstag) ist der Tag von LUCIFER, der Tag des Todes (und der Auferstehung), sowie die Nacht des Übergangs zum LICHT. LUZIFER’S ABSCHIED, die “Farewell” -Szene von SAMSTAG, findet in der Kirche sowohl im Innen- als auch im Außenhof statt. Ein Männerchor in zwei Spalten um das Publikum intoniert den „Franziskus von Assisi“ „Lodi delle Virtù“ (Hymne an die Tugenden). LUCIFER unterbricht als „Diabolical Wind Player“, der Posaune spielt, abrupt das Verfahren und verursacht Chaos. Schließlich kommt ein Sack vom Himmel (gefüllt mit Kokosnüssen) an. Die Männer feilen draußen und lassen einen wilden Vogel frei. Dann bewegen sie sich zu einer Steinplatte und beginnen, Kokosnüsse darauf zu zerschlagen (Albrecht Moritz bemerkt in seiner ausgezeichneten Rezension, dass dieses Element von Stockhausens Erfahrungen bei einem religiösen Festival in Kataragama in Ceylon inspiriert wurde). Schließlich gehen sie in einer Prozession mit humorvollen Tanzschritten und intonieren die „Hymne an die Tugenden…“.

Six Mil Antennas
SIX MIL ANTENNAS is a 360 degree immersive film that employs a range of visual and audio codes to bring a surrealist perspective to the forefront. Framing shifting communication processes in a fictional setting, the whimsical, open-ended work re-imagines different states of the world in a futuristic timeframe. Through a series of events, the piece alternates its tone between deconstructed gravity, aesthetic sensuality and satirical humor. Inserting filmed actors in faux designed landscapes, the film creates non-linear narratives of a personal, social and political nature and expresses a complex intertwining multiverse, in which the characters and abstract landscapes evolve.
