Règles de l'art

Jason Fox’s first solo show was held at Feature in New York in the early nineties, just after MoMA’s  High and Low: Modern Art and Popular Culture    (the first major exhibition to address “the relationship between modern art and popular and commercial culture.”)  And only two years before Mike Kelley organized  The Uncanny  at the Gemeentemuseum , Arnhem.  Fox’s work itself acts as a link between these events, and they in turn allow us to chronologically situate his acts of borrowing from both art history and from record sleeves of the seventies.  Although considered as common practice today, this kind of artistic approach was not so widespread at the time.   
 In a recent interview with artist Joe Bradley, Fox explicits his position:  “ The early nineties was another death-of-painting period and to be making expressive paintings that had nothing to do with appropriation was going against the tide. Fro...

...Florian Rottensteiner For you who read my blog (is there someone reading my blog haha) you probably have noticed my enthusiasm for Florian Rottensteiner. I am big fan of his paintings. We have one big one hanging on the wall in our atelier. Since some weeks now Florian has also been producing performance-videos. These motion pictures amused me at first - i thought it will be a onetime thing only - but he posted some more. I find these videos so strong and personal they pick up topics in Flos life (i guess) and typical - mainly viennese clichés of the daily life as an artist. Florian says about his art that is pure emotion. While he is painting a picture or working on a new project - he packs every feeling into it. Laughter, Tears, sorrow, happiness. Once he is finished he feels a kind of freedom or relief. Here are my favorite Videos!   and about this next video. It brought me to tears. i seldom saw a performance/video so clos...

BUT WE LOVED HER  So since october 13th a new exhibition by Ursula Mayer is showed at belvederes 21er Haus in Vienna. I am full of shame that i did not make the opening performace  (out of pure  laziness #mesosorry) but its most definitely worth seeing! i looked into if and really regret not going to the vernissage the first day. here is a description on the project and thank you Guy-dierdir Debast - i stole your pictures ;) #kiss – the title of Ursula Mayer’s exhibition was taken from a picture in the April 17, 2013 issue of the British daily paper The Independent, the day Margaret Thatcher was interred.  The London-based artist collected all the newspaper articles in the days that followed Thatcher’s death, programmatically positioning these four words at the forefront of her exhibition in Vienna, and in a phase of her work that foregrounds questions about the opportunities offers by neoliberal identity, about consumer culture in a pos...

Die Grundlage für das Ausstellungskonzept von  Vandasye – The Shape of Things  ist die Website  www.vandasye.com .  Dort versammeln Vandasye in der Rubrik “Context” Archetypen, Analogien und Referenzen, die sie ihren Produkten gegenüberstellen. Und genau das leistet nun die Ausstellung nicht virtuell, sondern mit weit über 100 realen Objekten. Parallelen und Unterschiede werden so sichtbar, es entsteht eine Sammlung von Zusammenhängen. Vandasye   wurde 2008 von  Georg Schnitzer  und  Peter Umgeher  in Wien gegründet; ihr Werdegang schließt verschiedene Fachrichtungen des Designs mit ein. Die Reichweite ihrer Projekte bewegt sich von industriellem Produktdesign bis hin zum Ausstellungsdesign. Ihre wesentlichen Zugänge sind die  Zweckmäßigkeit , die (Weiter-)Entwicklung  von eingesessenen Handlungsweisen und ein  zeitgemäßes formales Vokabular . Vandasye wurden von zahlreichen renommierten und i...
