Transient Spaces/The Tourist Syndrome - NGBK - Berlin
28 August – 10 October 2010
The project is concerned with the forms taken by voluntary and involuntary global mobility and more especially with the connections between migration and tourism – two of the most significant social and economic phenomena in contemporary societies. Not least as a result of the EU expansions of recent years EU citizens are moving across the continent in increasing numbers, some as migrants, some as tourists and some as both. The project is aimed at discovering how the various migratory movements are linked and how they affect one another, as well as the extent to which new forms and models for work, leisure and “retirement“ or post-working life are emerging in the context of global socio-economic developments.

With a Probability of Being Seen. Dorothee and Konrad Fischer. Archives of an attitude - MACBA - Barcelona
15/05/2010 - 12/10/2010
Konrad Fischer, who during those early years painted under the name of Konrad Lueg, his mother’s maiden name, soon counted among the young avant-garde artists in West Germany. The first chapter of this exhibition is dedicated to Konrad Lueg, with a selection of works made between 1964 and 1969. The first motifs come from the world of sport – football players and boxers – and are then followed, from 1965 onwards, by a preoccupation with the phenomenon of serial motifs and patterns, for which he uses industrially produced textiles and plastic films that are either painted, feature simple shapes or are combined to form multi-piece wall installations. Lastly, in Paris (1968) and Munich (1969), Konrad Lueg exhibited canvases painted in phosphorescent colours that momentarily capture the shadows of passing viewers cast by photographic flashlights.

DYNASTY - Palais de Tokio/Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris/ARC
last chance - through 05.09.2010
1 exhibition, 2 venues, 40 artists, 80 projects: «Dynasty» is the outcome of an innovative joint venture involving the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris/ARC and the Palais de Tokyo. In an original stereophonic presentation, the participating artists are occupying the two exhibition spaces in their entirety, with one project or work in each. Dynasty’s multiplicity of media and stylistic approaches highlights all the dynamism of a generation and the sheer diversity of concerns extending from the future of machine-man to a realism embracing the private, the political and the social. Improvised materials are given fresh cachet, while the use of computers and the digital brings radical change to our perception of space and objects. The project is a logical extension of the forward-looking agenda pursued since 1977 in ARC’s Workshops series at the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, and Modules at the Palais de Tokyo. Offering an overview of the young French art scene – including French artists living abroad and foreign artists living in France – the exhibition testifies to the rise in Paris and France generally of art schools, art centres, the Regional Contemporary Art Collections and alternative venues.

Sergej Jensen: The last twenty minutes of 2001 - White Cube - London
last chance through 28 Aug 2010
White Cube Mason's Yard is pleased to announce 'The Last Twenty Minutes of 2001', an exhibition by the Berlin-based artist Sergej Jensen. The title of the show alludes to the visionary finale of Stanley Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey' (1968), where the hero, Dave Bowman, travels through the psychedelic 'Star Gate' and 'beyond the infinite'. Jensen's new paintings invoke what the artist describes as 'floating around in a useless but essential space; an environment where 'beyond the infinite' - should you be looking for it - could equally be found in the dust on a kitchen floor'.

Painting: Process and Expansion - MUMOK - Vienna
through 3. Ocober
The exhibition deepens and sharpens the definition of two central aspects present in the postwar development of abstract painting: painting as a processual, self-reflecting medium as well as the expansion of painting into the domain where it references objects and space and which accompanied the dissolution of the picture.

Ancient & Modern - From Ritual to Theatre - London
SCREENED FRIDAYS 6, 13 & 20 AUGUST
AT 1.30PM AND 5.30PM
During August, ANCIENT & MODERN presents ‘From Ritual to Theatre’ curated by artist Ben Judd, a series of artists’ films that explore the grey area between performance and ritual. Works by Jim Shaw, Matt Stokes, Marcus Coates, Alex Sanders, Bruce Nauman, George Gurdjieff, Catherine Sullivan and Maya Deren will be shown. These artists reuse the signs, codes and mannerisms of rituals, rites and ceremonies. Through their restaging, these events, both everyday and profound, are used as readymades, re-exploring their value and cultural status. The artists locate themselves at the fulcrum where one position begins to slip into another, the shimmering point where fixed positions begin to waver.

Hank Schmidt In Der Beek - Ein Akt, Eine Treppe Hinabzumsteigen - Kunstverein Hamburg
AUGUST 14 - SEPTEMBER 12, 2010
In his first institutional solo exhibition at the Kunstverein Hamburg, Hank Schmidt in der Beek (*1978, lives in Berlin) presents appr. 300 collages, for which he has drawn on the visual Library of Modern Art. He recombines well-known motifs of art history, transferring them to completely alien contexts. He takes a whimsical approach to the classics of modern art, less appropriation than a sort of caricature. He reduces well-known works of modern art history by Daniel Buren, Max Beckmann, Max Ernst, Man Ray, and Roy Lichtenstein to their essence. He is not concerned to treat these pictures with caution; he is not cowed by their standing. Indeed, he reinvests them with the light touch and wit they originally possessed before they were raised to the status of art history icons and obliged to bear this historical burden.

Inside outsider language
A perspective on communication
Ami Clarke, Dave Hanger, Yuri Pattison, Amikam Toren, Matthew Verdon, George Young

Yael Bartana - And Europe will be Stunned - Moderna Museet Malmö
22 May 2010 - 19 September 2010
Aesthetically referencing propaganda films of the 1930s, Yael Bartana weaves together contrary movements that in different ways contributed to the founding of Israel: European anti-Semitism, colonialism, Socialism, and Zionism. The origin and development of Zionism are scrutinized in light of Israel’s political stance toward the Palestinians and at a certain point we are geographically transported from Israel/Palestine to Poland, where a fictive political movement – “The Jewish Renaissance Movement in Poland” – advocating a return of 3 000 000 Jews, emerges amid historical layers and reflections.

Tracey Emin - Walking with Tears - Royal Academy - London
Although Emin has returned to printmaking throughout her career, this is the first time she has presented an exhibition comprised exclusively of this medium, and features a selection of work from the past sixteen years, starting in 1994. The imagery ranges from explicit nudes to little birds and squirrels, motifs often interpreted as self-portraits. Emin continues to explore the medium with great intensity, and it is here where her imagery expresses itself in its most immediate form.

BARBARIC FREEDOM - groupshow - Simon Lee Gallery - NYC
9 July - 11 September 2010
“Expression is the gift from the World as many to the World as one” (A.N. Whitehead)
Ever since the late 1970s the art scene has been dominated by the incessant appropriation and recycling of various facets of modernism, as well as of Pop, Minimal or Conceptual art. Recently, however, the compelling need to emancipate from this heavy cloak of references has led many artists to turn to almost archaic gestures. Traces, imprints, scrapings, totems and pagan ceremonies are among the manifestations of this aspiration to new spaces of freedom, to new creative and expressive possibilities. In their day, the avant-gardes, too, drew on the energy of non-European, so-called “primitive” cultures in order to break with the prevailing order. Today it is no longer a matter of exploring the culturally or geographically unknown, but, for artists, to use “free of history” gestures to better deal with the needs of the present. Already, in the late 1950s and 1960s, similar strategies evolved as a reaction to the exhaustion of abstract painting (Gutai, but also Robert Morris, Yayoi Kusama or Bruce Nauman). Today, rather than ruptures, these artists are searching for new connections, of the kind that have too long been proscribed.

Fast Forward 2 - Media Art Collection Goetz - ZKM Karlsruhe - Germany
Seven years after "fast forward," the exhibition fast forward 2 will show a wide range of new video acquisitions from the internationally renowned private collection of Ingvild Goetz from Munich. With her impressive collection, originating from the 1960s, she has put together a museum-quality panorama of contemporary art that is as comprehensive as it is personal. Ingvild Goetz was one of the few private collectors to become involved in video art early on, and consistently. She led the way with this position, as video art deals with technically complex works that are often very costly to care for and install. Over the years, Ingvild Goetz has been able to build up a media art collection that is internationally regarded as one of the most important in the world.

Michael Krebber - Miami City Ballett - Galerie Daniel Buchholz - Berlin
2 July 2010 – 21 August 2010
“Miami City Ballet” shall be the first stop in, or the downbeat of a series of ”new” exhibitions following a lengthy period of inactivity. I took the photograph on the invitation card during a Douglas Crimp lecture. It shows the photograph being projected—of Edward Villella—the ballet dancer and later founder of the "MCB"—in the midst himself of holding a lecture. He shows his arm; looks at it and—according to Crimp-comments on it. That he is “beholding” his arm is un- knowable from my blurry photograph. More or less the same applies here, too.
