Winterling, Heimo Zobernig

Focus: Mélanie Matranga

Mélanie Matranga’s artistic approach is crossed by stories that infiltrate a production of objects, installations, films, and even pieces of furniture and reconstructions of interiors that are loaded with signifying signs, texts and images: drawings, photographs, prints, projections. These combined elements propose “situations” that interrogate intimacy and seem to be filled with sensations and residual feelings, receptacles where real life experience and imagination, the document and the scenario meet.

The sound pieces are songs, declamations, monologues, a reading, a discourse, a dialogue, an echo, a whisper, a noise, a scream or breathing, up to the point of rupture, dysphonia, aphonia, silence, or even the return of sound and music.

Opening : Thursday, May 7, 2009, from 6 pm

T like text, of course, or temporary, tentative, turn of phrase, trove, trouble, tension… tea time and T. Rex.

T is an exhibition which offers several possibilities of texts. Artists’ texts that can be images, signs or also an abstract, a description, an explanation, a manifesto, a recollection, a quotation, a poem, a story…

T is a round-trip from text to work, from work to text: a new exercise.

T, it’s some simple sheets of A4 paper, several proposals of printed matter (tracts or small posters), but also a letter, a recording, a distribution or even a republishing, the publication of a work already completed or the layout of a future publication; a model. (more…)

Upon invitation of the Centre d’édition contemporaine and of the Centre d’Art Contemporain at BAC – Bâtiment d’art contemporain, Geneva

Where to live, and how? This exhibition offers a reflection on projects by artists and architects who think about living conditions and challenge this question in their work. These projects come from various contexts that, for the major part, are situated at the junction of architecture and art, Utopia and reality, individual and collective space. Some of these projects document very active emerging urban forms and ask complex economical, political, and social questions which traditional notions of urbanism disregard.
If we think of the city as “a series of strata and styles, of icons and cultural practices which bring together constructions from the past, tradition, as well as these new projects and ideas for the future”1, can the different projects that will be presented really transform, or at least question, the way specialists, the State and users tackle the problem of living conditions?

John M Armleder, Marcel Broodthaers, François Curlet, Trisha Donnelly and Pierre Vadi

« Fiction can help to fin both the truth and what if hides. »
Marcel Broodthaers

The Missing Evidence is an exhibition aiming to explore strategies of mystification towards which tend certain artists, playing of their status of creators. It takes to witness the emblematic figure of Bas Jan Ader (1942-1975). The artist, mysteriously gone missing at sea at age of 33, during his performance-trip entitled In the Search of the Miraculous.
This conceptual Dutch artist, whom art was a voyage just as real as metaphorical, chose to cross the Atlantic alone on a sailboat from the United States. Upon his arrival, an exhibition was planned at the Groninger Museum (Holland) to present works realized during his voyage. (more…)

View of the exhibition Paper field – exhibition Field

In order to pursue our investigation into the field of the multiple and to consider it as a field of experimentation and test site, this year we have chosen to shift our perspective towards objects that straddle the border between the artistic and commercial systems. Throughout 2003 we have been showcasing publications that operate outside the constraints of traditional channels of distribution and communication, with multiples such as posters and portfolios, fanzines, Xerox books, newspapers and free magazines, distributed – before or after the exhibition – by hand, through the mail, or in public places such as bars, stores, galleries, art centers and museums, … (more…)

View of the exhibition Finger No. 12 conventions/Konventionen/conventions

A collaboration between finger (artist collective based in Frankfurt-am-Main, Germany) and three graduating students – Aurélien Gamboni, Sloane Huguenin and Marion Ronca – from the CCC critical curatorial cybermedia postgraduate program of the Ecole supérieure des beaux-arts HES-Genève, and the centre d’édition contemporaine.

finger was founded in 1998. The group, composed today of four artists, Martin Brandt, Florian Haas, Claudia Hummel and Andreas Wolf, aims to undertake research in the form of “fieldwork”: mediating actions and alternative realizations which are later regularly documented in their eponymous publication.
A platform for discussion and exchange between artists and authors, finger deals with exhibitions, conferences and publications touching on the new phenomena, whether unconscious, popular, individual or more general which traverse contemporary society, at the level of the everyday, the local and the city, but also through larger economic, social and cultural movements: globalization, immigration, political and social conflicts, new technologies… (more…)
