Urban Forms

Formes Urbaines, or Urban Forms, is the brainchild of photographer Xavier Delory, who states that the purpose of this ongoing project is “to study the recurrent characteristics of modern cities.” At first glance, the viewer considers whether the buildings in his images are real, though a prolonged study assures us that indeed, this is a commentary on the evolution of modern architecture.

ты в моих мыслях
ВЫ В МОИХ РАЗУМАХ светится белыми неоновыми буквами за двусторонним зеркалом, на котором много отражений посетителей и окружающего пространства. В сочетании с двусторонним зеркалом перед ним апеллятивное послание, кажется, пробуждает зрителей к настоящему моменту и ставит под сомнение их положение в пространстве и времени.

En Julio 2014, Oscar Carvallo lanzó su colección couture Otoño/Invierno 2014, en París, bajo el título Save Our Souls (SOS). La innovación en el uso de materiales novedosos se destaca mucho en los diseños de Carvallo, utilizando accesorios realizados con balas y cartuchos auténticos. La colección de Carvallo finalizó con la participación del artista plástico Pancho Quilici, quien invitó a reflexionar a través de una estructura corporal acerca del papel de la vestimenta como refugio de supervivencia.

silver apples of the moon
image detail : Buchla 100 synthesizer
Morton Subotnick helped bring the modular voltage-controlled synthesizer to a state of readiness for performance and  recording and was the first composer to take advantage of the new instrument’s potential. Composed in 1967 specifically for release on Nonesuch, Silver Apples of the Moon was Subotnick’s first full-length LP of electronic music, and the album became an international sensation.

Thomas Feuerstein

Psychoprosa

The exhibition PSYCHOPROSA focuses on mucus as a biochemical substance and sculptural material. The production of mucus takes place as a real process within the exhibition spaces, transforming the Frankfurter Kunstverein into an interconnecting ensemble of greenhouse, laboratory, walk-in refrigerator, cinema, and factory. Through tubes connected to one another, equipment and objects produce and transform their interior substances, refrigerators open and close automatically and transparent threads of mucus drip from expansive glass sculptures.

In close collaboration with biochemists, Thomas Feuerstein has developed the synthetic molecule Psilamin, derived from algae and fungi. In its production, large quantities of viscous biofilm are generated. If one were to take Psilamin, one would begin to feel psychotropic effects. Perception would liquefy, and objects in the room would appear soft and shapeless. Simultaneously, the flowing nature of the sculptural matter, which escapes solid form, externalizes an inner psychic process. At the end of the biochemical production process, which visitors can track in the different exhibition spaces, there is the expan-sive sculpture Accademia dei Secreti over whose glass containers vast amounts of mucus pour.

Event Horizon, Hong Kong

“Event Horizon engages the desire to look up and look again at familiar places in a new way. Within the condensed environment of Hong Kong, the tension between the palpable, perceivable and imaginable is heightened. My intention is to get the sculptures as visible as possible against the sky, allowing each to be seen as a body against light and space, entering in and out of visibility to those walking the streets. The installation should have no defining boundary.”

Florentijn Hofman

Stadscocon
Stadscocon – City Cocoon – is een installatie op een werkelijk epische schaal van de Arnhemse kunstenaar Florentijn Hofman. De tentoonstelling vindt plaats in de prachtige Sint Janskerk in het centrum van Schiedam terwijl het museum zelf groots werk ondergaat. Als je de kerk binnengaat en verwacht gebrandschilderde ramen, majestueuze, sierlijke pilaren en een gewelfd dak te zien, bevind je je niet in een rustige kerkelijke omgeving, maar in een kleine, maar nogal luidruchtige, groene kamer met nissen, bogen en een gigantische spiegel. Hier trek je groene stoffen overschoenen aan voordat je naar het hoofdevenement gaat.

Alexander Ponomarev

Punto di vista
Ex marinaio della flotta sovietica, poi ufficiale della marina mercantile, ingegnere di formazione, dai primi anni novanta comincia a dare vita a seducenti invenzioni che si collocano al limite tra arte e tecnologia. Le opere di Ponomarev – le sue azioni, installazioni, disegni, fotografie – hanno una forza concreta, dinamica ed icastica che si manifesta sempre attraverso azioni complesse e articolate nel tempo. Nel suo lavoro la lotta contro gli elementi naturali, il perfezionamento continuo della tecnica e le reazioni alla forza del caso si costituiscono in Avventura. L’arte di Ponomarev è Avventura allo stato puro. Non ha nulla di istantaneo, immediato, di breve durata, ma trasforma la realtà nel tempo. In esse è inscritto un senso del tempo come avventura che modifica la stessa percezione del mondo e il corpo dello spettatore, che si sente proiettato in una dimensione finzionale dinamica, articolata, avventurosa.
