AlbumArte | VideoArtForum #3

First screening and discussion on Wednesday March 9th at 7:30pmIntroduced by Vittorio Urbani 

 Screenings from Thursday 10th to Saturday 12th from 4pm to 9pm AlbumArte Via Flaminia, 122 Rome

INVITATION >>>     VIDEOARTFORUM PROJECT >>>

Ferhat Özgür is the protagonist of the third appointment of the event AlbumArte |VideoArtForum on Wednesday, March 9th 2016 with the first screening and debate open to the public at 7:30pm. The video-forum will be introduced by the curator Vittorio Urbani. 

Ferhat Özgür (b. 1965, lives and works in Istanbul) is an artist currently active with several international exhibitions (actually shown at the Michigan Museum of Art, USA). He has already participated in the video program conceived by AlbumArte entitled Anteprima(Istanbul, 2011), selected by the art critic and curator Beral Madra. Thanks to his first solo show in Italy titled The Compassionate Artist OR My Beauty in Green Drives Me Crazy, curated by Vittorio Urbani, AlbumArte will present Ferhat Özgür to the Roman audiences by projecting his most significant creations. 

«In his first solo show in Rome (and in Italy), Ferhat Özgür presents different video works, which give a broad picture of his artistic scope and intellectual engagement. With a background in painting, Ferhat Özgür is mostly known for his photographs, video works and installations in Turkey and internationally. In his AlbumArte event entitled ‘The Compassionate Artist OR My Beauty in Green Drives Me Crazy’, which is one of the refrain in a Turkish ballad he used in his video ‘Life Is Beautiful’, will be presented nine selected videos from different periods. Özgür’s approach to art is very holistic and humanistic (…). Özgür often collects ideas from the street, from everyday life (…). The subjects of his videos can be as diverse as a group of freshmen greeting a comrade leaving for his military service (Life Is Beautiful), or lone children playing music in the streets (Street Lullaby), and so on. He is charmed by “life” and use the raw materials presented by the everyday to create his music, I mean, his art. This has been only half a mistake, since music and singing very often features in Özgür’s video works. Either traditional Turkish ballades, either Western Pop and techno music and dance are elements not only additional but structural, making his work to  become “alive”». (Vittorio Urbani)

Masturbation

• Date: February 19, 2016 Friday - March 26, 2016 Saturday

Artists: Bora Akıncıtürk, Turan Aksoy, Ferzan Aktaş, Burak Ata, Basako, Damla Baş, Zeynep Beler, Antonio Cosentino, Cemal Demir, Ali Elmacı, Tarık Gök, Şakir Gökçebağ, Horasan, Hüseyin Işık, Burak İşseven, Merve Morkoç, Ali İbrahim Öcal, İrfan Önürmen, Ferhat Özgür, Burcu Perçin, Sabo, Meltem Sarıkaya, Nejat Satı, Erinç Seymen, Tunca, Tolga Tüzün, Selahattin Yıldırım, Erdoğan Zümrütoğlu

“Dear audience; the pieces you’ll see in this exhibition are a fiction of the creator’s issue of building a world on his own. It’s a feeling of reproduction and existing. Each artist attends this exhibition with their own fiction and creation process, trying to make sure that this process is known and sensed, without any imposition, struggling to contour that state of existence in this world.”

                                                                                                                                                                                   Mustafa Horasan

The new exhibition that is going to be at Mixer’s new gallery, Sıraselviler Caddesi No:35 brings a diverse artist group from different disciplines. When one thinks about the act of ‘Masturbation’, the pleasure that artists are having during the creation process, it’s a reference in its own as an act, to the meaning of this word. It can also be seen as an act of converting a solo action to a collective situation. ‘Masturbation’ generally requests artists to work with different mediums than their usual medium; hence the exhibition is of a multidisciplinary experience. The show will include a wide range of artworks; varying from painting to video and performance. The exhibition aims to create a farceur encounter and some kind of a facedown moment. It also aims to sense one’s state of loneliness’ and dilemmas like safety and unsafety, tranquility and uneasiness simultaneously.

The Artist’s lonely existence during the creation process and isolation from the outer world-although not absolutely- is some kind of a rebellion moment. ‘Masturbation’ is looking for answers as if this reckoning can be converted to a rebellious act. It determines to exhibit this singularity on a plural platform with the help of the parallelism between the artist at the creation process and the act of masturbation.

“Sevgili izleyici; bu sergide göreceğin yapıtlar, yaratıcının kendi için bir dünya kurma meselesinin bir kurgusudur. Biraz çoğalma ve biraz var olma duygusudur. Her sanatçı kendi kurgusuyla ve yaratım süreciyle dâhil olmuştur bu sergiye. Her türlü dayatmadan uzak, kendi içinde yaşadığı ve yaşattığı bu halin bilinmesini ve azıcık duyumsanmasını ister. Dünyada varlığının anlaşılması için çabalar.”        

Mustafa Horasan

                                                                                                                                                                      

Mixer’in Sıraselviler Caddesi, No:35 adresinde yer alan galerisinde gerçekleştirilecek yeni sergisi Masturbation farklı disiplinlerden kalabalık bir sanatçı grubunu bir araya getiriyor. Sergide mastürbasyon kelimesinin ilk anlamı ile sanatçıların üretim sürecinde aldıkları haz arasındaki denklik durumu, tek kişilik bir eylemi kolektif bir duruma dönüştürüyor. Sanatçılarının şimdiye dek çalıştıkları medyumlardan farklı alanlarda ürettiği yeni çalışmalarıyla izleyici karşısına çıkacakları sergi, resimden videoya, performanstan desene kadar uzanan multidisipliner bir deneyim imkânı sunuyor. İzleyicisi için hem muzip bir karşılaşma hem de bir tür yüzleşme anı yaratmayı amaçlayan sergi, sanatçının kendi algısında olduğu kadar izleyicisinin algısında da kendi başına kalma halinin, güvenliliği ve güvensizliği, huzuru ve huzursuzluğu gibi ikilemlerini aynı anda hissettirmeyi amaçlıyor.

Sanatçının üretim sürecinde kendisiyle baş başa kalma ve dışarıdan soyutlanma durumu –her şeyden ve tam anlamıyla olmasa da– bir tür başkaldırı anı demektir. Söz konusu zaman dilimindeki yalnızlaşma kendi kendiyle hesaplaşmadır aynı zamanda. Bu hesaplaşmayı bir açık isyana dönüştürmenin mümkün olup olmadığının yanıt arayan Masturbation sergisi, sanatçının üretim sürecindeki yalnızlığı ile mastürbasyon pratiği arasındaki paralellikten hareket ederek bu tekilliği çoğul bir düzlemde izleyicinin önüne koymayı amaçlıyor. 

'partage d'intime', 23 January - 12 March, Nontron-France

Partage d'Intime - exposition du 23 janvier au 12 mars 2016 - Nontron

Les artistes : Boris Achour, Bertille Bak, Pauline Bétin, Valerie Blaize, Sebastien Carre, Marc Camille Chaimowicz, Alexander Costello, Anne-Laure Coullomb, Laurent Dufour, Jacques Lizène, Maria Loboda, Ferhat Özgür, Anne et Patrick Poirier, Oliver Vadrot.
Anne-Laure Coullomb et Sébastien Carré sont lauréats du Prix de la jeune création métiers d'art d'Ateliers d'Art de France.

Art contemporain et métiers d’art, à la frontière du design.
Commissariat Frac Aquitaine et Pôle Expérimental Métiers d’Art.
Œuvres du Frac Aquitaine, du CRAFT Limoges et des créateurs métiers d’art.
Dans le cadre de « Design, design… Une saison de design en Région Aquitaine ».

Au sujet de l’intime et du collectif, de l’individu et de sa relation à la société, « Partage d’Intime » réunit des œuvres fortes et acquisitions récentes du Frac Aquitaine, des créations de professionnels métiers d’art aux personnalités singulières et des projets à la frontière du design et des arts plastiques mis en œuvre au CRAFT Limoges.

Ponctuant le parcours de l’exposition, Laptop fire d’Olivier Vadrot, A Room as a Song de Maria Loboda et A Partial Vocabulary de Marc Camille Chaimowicz sont des installations-sculptures se situant à la frontière du mobilier et du design. Au-delà, elles interrogent la communauté et l’individu, l’histoire de l’art et l’histoire personnelle. Par ailleurs, la polysémie de ces œuvres permet de convoquer les métiers d’art et la parfaite maîtrise de savoir-faire de jeunes créateurs dont les productions seront exposées en regard de ces installations.

Sont ainsi présentées des créations qui transcendent leur statut d’objets d’art et communiquent des sentiments, des sensations, des passions, à l’instar des rêves tissés d’Anne-Laure Coullomb, des bijoux ex-voto de Sébastien Carré, des architectures-paysages de Pauline Bétin ou des univers de Valérie Blaize et Laurent Dufour.

La porcelaine des œuvres de la collection du CRAFT Limoges vient compléter cette sélection : Boris Achour et ses bornes répondent de manière ambiguë à notre désir de sécurité tandis que le délicat lustre au titre évocateur, Les mots sont des ombres, d’Anne et Patrick Poirier nous plonge dans les domaines des souvenirs et de la mémoire.

Un monde d’objets intimes et publics, accompagné d’une sélection de vidéos, prend alors corps au PEMA, entre introspection et relation à l’autre.

Le Frac Aquitaine et le PEMA avaient, de longue date, un projet de coécriture autour de l’art contemporain, du design et des métiers d’art. Cette exposition est conçue, de manière inédite et partagée par les équipes du Frac aquitaine, du PEMA et les professionnels métiers d’art.

Ferhat Özgür, Metamorphosis Chat, 2009, video, 9:25 minutes, courtesy of the artist © Ferhat Özgür

Exhibitions Ferhat Özgür: Metamorphosis Chat December 5, 2015–March 27, 2016 Media Gallery In Turkish artist Ferhat Özgür’s Metamorphosis Chat, two women, clearly dear friends, are chatting over a cup of tea in a traditional Turkish living room. One of the women is neatly dressed in modern clothes, wearing makeup and jewelry. Her friend’s attire, with headscarf and no other adornment, is representative of a more conservative Muslim culture. It is apparent that we are watching a “real” conversation unfold, one that is relaxed and lighthearted, as opposed to a scripted scenario. The critical moment occurs when the woman in secular dress kindly asks her friend if she ever wishes to remove her scarf to be more comfortable. While we might predict that her answer would have something to do with the scarf’s religious and cultural significance, she answers simply that she doesn’t think about removing it, as she has worn it since childhood and is used to it. It is at this moment that the women begin a giddy game of swapping clothes, until they are both literally and figuratively walking in each other’s shoes. The headscarf has been controversial since wearing it was banned in Turkey in 1923. At that time Turkey was established as a secular state by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, who saw headscarves as an obstacle to his agenda of modernizing a new Turkish Republic. However, though Turkey is a secular country, more than 95 percent of its citizens are Muslims. Thus this simple article of clothing has figured in the ongoing clash between those favoring the secular principles of the state and those who are more religiously conservative. Özgür was born in Ankara, Turkey, in 1965. He describes his art, which includes painting, drawing, photography, and video, as positioned “in between the tensions of tradition and modern times,” at the convergence of the cultural conflicts that define his home country. Lead support for this exhibition is provided by SAHA – Supporting Contemporary Art from Turkey, the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities, and the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment. Additional support is provided by the University of Michigan Islamic Studies Program, the Institute for Research on Women and Gender, the Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies, the Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies, and Women’s Studies.

Anca Benera & Arnold Estefán, No Shelter From the Storm (still), 2015, HD video, 5:45 min

These days, a 'Welcome' sign turned rusty and derelict, hangs invisibly, in the wind at all the European borders. Gates open randomly, reflecting starry light through bullet holes. Some people are lucky to get through, at least as far as the next fence. The flowers, the young girls, the young men and the soldiers are all long gone. Graveyards are opening and the victims of mass killings are being resurrected to meet one another, when the poles of the Earth are reversed and the new Elysium is relocated south. Three soldiers light their cigarettes with the same match, the third one will be shot. There is a time when everyone needs a refuge. Temporary shelters bring together strangers with the estranged, where all they share are stories and flavours, too seldom hope. Young girls and young men are still getting married, according to all the rituals, some of them against their will. Tradition and emancipation, belonging and desire, fate and rebellion, mourning and joy all conflict in our everyday lives and in the news we read or experience. This is as true now as it was a hundred years ago and will perhaps be two hundred years from now.

Welcome to Austeria, the hideaway, the small and remote place, where so many things can happen during a one-night stop-over: revolutions can be plotted, wars can pass by, people can fall in love or kill each other; tenderness, empathy or aloofness can all melt together in the air of a transitory space at the margin of the world, where geographies become distant and histories come alive. 

The traditional inn is just such a place in which history and national or ethnic identity become mythologised; it is the old-time non-place as well as a frequent topos, anchored at the crossroads and its survival based mostly on the exchange of energies and stories. Austeria (The Inn) is not a recreation of a traditional inn from eastern Europe, nor is it solely a reference to the film of the same title (Austeria, 1982, directed by Jerzy Kawalerowicz). It departs from the geographical and historical circumstance of Nowy Sącz – part of the former province of Galicia and a formerly multicultural city at the intersection of empires, as well as from the current conditions of art institutions as places of refuge and as memory lanes or relational platforms. 

Austeria – the exhibition – is an invitation to celebrate with us, despite the grim present and echoes of troubled history, these suspended moments of random encounters, fleeting conversations, shared local customs and forgotten songs, a foretold future that may or may not come to pass.

Performance by Dorota Podlaska as well as curatorial fortune-telling and karaoke session will accompany the opening reception.

Love in the 20th Century, according to the poet Arthur Rimbaud, had to be reinvented. Nowadays, in a world full of crisis and conflicts, tensed between opposite ideals, and submitted to increased individualism and intense consumption, love is seriously threatened and regularly challenged. Paradoxically, love in the 21st Century has never been so linked to individual identity and happiness.

What We Call Love explores how the notion of love has evolved within the 20th century. How have seismic sociological changes concerning sexuality, marriage and intimacy, alongside developments in gender issues, affected the way we conceive love today? How does visual art, from Surrealism to the present day, deal with love and what can these artistic representations tell us about what love means in our contemporary culture?

Drawing on contemporary sociology, neuroscience and of course art, What We Call Love sheds some light on these questions. While we cannot give a final definition of “what is love” we can examine how artists have represented it. Presented in three chapters, the exhibition draws on Surrealism’s idea of love as “amour fou” (crazy love), new visions of love which emerged after the 60’s and the often problematic concerns of contemporary love. 

Focusing mainly on the now, this important exhibition will present a succinct selection of carefully chosen Surrealist works, alongside key conceptual and contemporary pieces, integrating new commissions and other works in the forms of cinema and performance. Texts and interviews from three leaders in their respective fields; Georges Sebbag on Surrealism, Eva Illouz on sociology and Semir Zeki on neuroscience will contribute to this reflection.

Love is a subject of great relevance in Ireland today, as our understanding and definitions of love expand with the changing face of contemporary society. Featuring a fantastic collection of masterworks by some of the most important figures in modern art - such as Constantin Brancusi, Salvador Dalí, Marcel Duchamp, Max Ernst, Alberto Giacometti, Meret Oppenheim, Pablo Picasso; iconic works by the most significant artists of recent times – Andy Warhol, Yoko Ono, Marina Abramović, Louise Bourgeois, Nan Goldin, Damien Hirst, Rebecca Horn, Carolee Schneemann, Wolfgang Tillmans - and new commissions by artists Lucy Andrews, Séamus Nolan, Garrett Phelan and Jeremy Shaw - What We Call Love invites the audience to consider what love means to them with a series of talks, events, film screenings and debates alongside the exhibition.

Curated by Christine Macel, Chief Curator at Centre Pompidou, with Rachael Thomas, Head of Exhibitions at IMMA, What We Call Love features almost 200 works, including over 30 works on loan from major collections such as Centre Pompidou, Paris; Tate, London; Museé Picasso, Paris; Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh; The Felix Gonzalez-Torres Foundation, New York; Fondation Giacometti, Paris; British Council Collection; Musee d’art modern de la Ville de Paris; Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art; Collection institute d’art Contemporain, Rhone-Alpes; Marina Abramović Archives; and from numerous private collections and leading gallerists worldwide. 

What We Call Love will be accompanied by an exciting programme of screenings, talks, events and live happenings, listed below. Bookmark this page for future updates. 

A catalogue will be published to accompany this exhibition, featuring five major essays from Christine Macel, Georges Sebbag, Eva Illouz, Semir Zeki and Rachael Thomas, as well as specific texts written by Christine Macel, Alicia Knock, Olivier Zeitoun, Victoria Evans, Poi Marr, Ben Mulligan and Seamus McCormack, published by IMMA and DAP Diffusion, New York.

New commissions in this exhibition are part of the series New Art at IMMA, proudly supported by Matheson.
Presented with the support of the French Embassy in Ireland and Official Hotel Partner The Dylan Hotel.

It is for nine years that in Vladikavkaz, the capital of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania, a lively polylogue on contemporary art has been going on – it is the annual Symposium "Alanica." The language of this conversation is the experiment, which involves all Symposium participants – artists, curators, critics and even the public, for which everything they see in "Alanica" become a continuous discovery and the trigger point for the transformation of their world vision.

Public workshops, performances, master classes convert the Symposium not only into the space for the realization of artistic ideas and projects, but into the actual ground for educational information. Communication of the artists from different countries, with different professional backgrounds allows transmitting new art ideas, which is crucial for the communication of the older generation with the younger one. In this respect, the Symposium serves as an original school of modern art, the art, which is created today, now.
During its nine seasons, "Alanica" accumulated a large collection of works that have never been exhibited outside Ossetia. Now, the best works of contemporary art - the most unexpected results of this ongoing experiment called "Alanica" - will be displayed in the framework of the 6th Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art in the Museum and Exhibition Center "The Worker and the Kolkhoz Woman". This exhibition site was not chosen occasionally: once Vera Mukhina's sculpture became an engineering and artistic experiment, which was significantly ahead of its time - and up till now the figures of the Worker and the Kolkhoz Woman are perceived as looking to the future.

About Exhibition Magic Inventions: 

In the age of constant political ecological and economic crisis, all visual material made with analog or digital photography and all the online photography archive available has achieved new functions to convey messages for deciphering the meaning and signification of these crises. However, at the same time all this photography – we still name this visual material photography- can be manipulated by the powers, which trigger these crises.

History is on one level produced by anthropologists, archeologists, historians and other related scholars and on another level by people who have political, economic or cultural interests. The first group constructs history based on evidence, science and logical thought. The second group builds it on specious theory, ideology and other simulative methods.

The first group is trained in research, analysis, evaluation and interpretation of the sources, documents and other necessary material available. Among these material photography plays a key role. However, they also learn how to approach these materials critically and with skepticism and caution.

'The Culture of Ageing Collective Exhibition'. Center for Creativity at St James Cavalier, Valetta-MALTA, 31 August-27 September 2015

The Culture of Ageing Collective Exhibition is a collaborative project between the Valletta 2018 Foundation and Leeuwarden 2018, the two cities that will be hosting the European Capital of Culture for the year 2018, and the Centre for Creativity at St James Cavalier. Curated by Lennard Dost and Mare van Koningsveld, this collective exhibition addresses the concept of ageing through the questioning of the role of seniors within societies while also exploring how do these societies react to an ageing population. The exhibit approaches ageing from a Maltese perspective while also relating this perspective with other cultures. Artists taking part in this exhibition include: Adrian Abela, Michael Apted, Femke Bakker, Kristina Borg, Vince Briffa, Gilbert Calleja, Azahara Cerezo, Libia Castro and Ólafur Ólafsson, Louise Hervé and Chloé Maillet, Bettina Hutschek, Trevin Matcek and Ferhat Özgür.

Although seniors are the subject matter of this interesting exhibition, this does not mean that they are exempt from contributing. They are also actively participate in the project through interviews and an educational programme. This educational programme, titled ‘What’s your secret? /x’inhu s-sigriet tiegħek?’, sees Maltese and Frisian (Dutch) seniors creating visual representations of their secrets on postcards which are then sent to Maltese and Dutch retirement homes. These interviews, which will be carried out by curators Dost and van Koningsveld, joined by Jessica Galea, will also be shown at the exhibition. Free exhibition tours to and fro retirement homes will be available for the duration of the exhibition.

For more information, please visit the Valletta 2018 Cultural Programme or VIVA – Valletta International Visual Arts Festival official website. Partners include: CareMalta, Seniors Helping Seniors, ERIBA, International Institute on Aging (United Nations– Malta).
