RHIZOME’S SEVEN ON SEVEN

Posted on 2013-10-21

Rhizome’s Seven on Seven conference pairs seven leading artists with seven influential technologists in teams of two, and challenges them to develop something new, be it an application, artwork, concept, product, or whatever they imagine, over the course of a single day.

This year’s collaborators are:

Susan Phillipsz + Naveen Selvadurai (Foursquare)
Jonas Lund + Michelle You (Songkick)
Mark Leckey + Daniel Williams
Aleksandra Domanović + Smári McCarthy (IMMI)
Cecil B. Evans + Alice Bartlett (BERG)
Haroon Mirza + Ryder Ripps (OKFocus)
Graham Harwood + Alberto Nardelli (Tweetminister)

Loosely inspired by Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.)’s 1966 event 9 Evenings, Seven on Seven examines the current nature of collaboration in art and technology — and the role of each in contemporary culture — by generating deep conversation between two leading figures. The seven teams unveil and present their newly finished concept to a mixed audience of both art and technology peers for the first time in this day-long event.

27th October 2013 / 12:00, Milton Court Concert Hall.

PORTRAITS FROM THE BOTTOM UP

Continuing to explore their investigation into self-portraiture Tim Noble & Sue Webster have produced work for Portraits from the Bottom Up including an edition of ten bronze works and a series of unique monoprints.

These sculptures are cast bronzes of the artists nipples and arseholes, wall mounted, to challenge the brain by reflecting the positioning of the eyes and mouth.

‘If they say that necessity is the mother of invention, then the original concept for this obscene series of body part prints was born from just that. During a residency on one of the most beautifully passive and colourful of the Caribbean Islands – we found ourselves banished in order to create. Unfortunately this idyll rendered us impotent and we retracted back into our darkened room and turned to our bodies for inspiration.’ Sue Webster.

Edition of 10 – Signed and numbered

PAUL KLEE – MAKING VISIBLE

Posted on 2013-10-14

Paul Klee – Making Visible begins with the artist’s breakthrough during the First World War, when he first developed his individual abstract patchworks of colour that later became characteristic of his ‘magic square’ paintings.
The heart of the exhibition will focus on the decade Klee spent teaching and working at the Bauhaus, the hotbed of modernist design. The abstract canvases he produced there, such as the rhythmical composition Fire in the Evening 1929, took his reputation to new international heights.

The 1930s then brought about radical changes. Having moved to Düsseldorf, Klee was dismissed from his new teaching position by the Nazis and took refuge in Switzerland with his family, while his works were removed from collections and labelled ‘degenerate art’ in Germany. Despite the political turmoil, financial insecurity and his declining health, he nevertheless became even more prolific.
