GRAND HOTEL in ART FOR ANIMALS
invited by RADIO CORAX and LUNE LEOTY
15 - 23 October, ZOO HALLE
The zoo as a public space in which animals of different types can be found is both a place for research and discovery and for entertainment. Many species of the animals have become extremely rare and even threatened by extinction. Just as in a large hotel the zoo staff ensures comfort, lodging, service and meals for the animals. It is the staff's job to widen continually its knowledge of zoology and to give the individual animal the possibility of leading a life which conforms as closely as possible to the life it would lead in its natural surroundings.
The title of the exhibition "Art for Animals" presupposes that the animals have a certain understanding for art although the basic assumption is that art is something entirely human. Who knows? Perhaps the animals do feel addressed by these artistic overtures.
Lune Léoty's project goes so far to suppose that the animals even need art. To grant the animals an opportunity to enjoy art we should therefore offer the greatest degree of comfort: a place where they feel well, let off steam with their friends, have regular meals, and also have the advantage of a friendly and considerate service. In "Grand Hotel", the title of her current work in Halle Zoo, the animal enjoys all the advantages of the hospitality of a good hotel together with a continual modernisation of the premises. The project "Grand Hotel" is an installation in which all details of a hotel for animals have been thought through. In Halle Mountain Zoo the characteristic features of a hotel have been added – starting with the reception and including information and safety signage.
CHAOS CREATES STRUCTURE
KURATIERT von EMILIE MAYER
Lisha, Klaus Mähring, Crapaud Mayer, Michael Schreiber, Valeria Schwarz, Bartholomäus Traubeck
Vernissage: Donnerstag, 15. September 2011, um 19:00 Uhr im kunstraum pro arte!
Seit 2005 ist Schmiede at kunstraum pro arte, eine Kooperation zwischen den beiden Institutionen, der Eröffnungshöhepunkt der Schmiede Hallein. Chaos Creates Structure, das Thema der diesjährigen Schmiede, ist auch das Thema der Ausstellung. Die Gesetze des Chaos und des Unvorhersagbaren stehen hinter unzähligen Dingen unserer Welt. Im kreativen und künstlerischen Prozess stellt Chaos ebenfalls eine treibende Kraft dar.
Die sieben verschiedenen Positionen der von Emilie Mayer kuratierten Ausstellung zeigen unterschiedliche Herangehensweisen an das Thema.
Wenn Klaus Mähring mittels Fotoemulsion Selbstporträts in Steine einschreibt und so einen chaotischen Steinhaufen strukturiert, wenn Michael Schreibers interaktive TauToy Time Machine Töne und bewegte Bilder des Galerieraums mit fotografischen Zeugnissen vergangener Jahre kombiniert und in eine chaotische, aus dem Zufall generierte Videoinstallation verwandelt, dann sind Chaos und Struktur sich gegenseitig beeinflussende Parameter.
Bartholomäus Traubeck bedient sich der öffentlich gemachten Satelliten-Bilddaten von Google Maps. Seine Arbeiten zeigen landwirtschaftlich kultivierte Gegenden unserer Erde, in denen das Chaos der Natur den Strukturen des menschlichen Denkens gewichen ist.
Valeria Schwarz’ Arbeit Un coup de dés beschäftigt sich mit dem Zufall, dem unvorhersehbaren Chaos und dem Ungewissen. Ihr Beitrag zur Ausstellung ist ein Projekt, in dem alle Smiths unbewusst dazu beisteuern, eine lesbare Struktur aus etwas zu schaffen, das als chaotisch wahrgenommen wird. Ihre Arbeit wird nach Ende der Schmiede in den Galerieräumen zu sehen sein.
Was wie eine abstrakte Komposition oder gar eine Fotomontage aussieht, sind reale Spiegelungen im Stadtraum, die Crapaud Mayer in seiner Serie ReMomentum einfängt. Seine Fotografien erzeugen eine eigenständige Ästhetik, die das Chaos der Großstadt auf erstaunliche Weise strukturiert und neu interpretiert.
Die Arbeit Morgen ist immer morgen der Künstlerin Lisha hinterfragt die Verhältnisse zwischen Zufall und Chaos. Chaotisch auf der Straße gefundene Spielkarten werden zu einer strukturierten Wandarbeit zusammengefügt.
Ellinor Ljungkvist überträgt das Thema Chaos und Struktur auf Beziehungen in ihrem Leben. Ihre Arbeit Dear Diary umfasst Auszüge aus ihren persönlichen Tagebuchaufzeichnungen, durch die sie dem Chaos in ihrem Leben Struktur gibt.
Im Zuge der Ausstellungseröffnung wird die Tanzperformance One Rotten Day in Paradise von Veronika Mayerböck und Gilsela Elisa Heredia die Gesetze des Chaos und der choreografischen Produktion befragen.
Ausstellungsdauer: 16.09. – 08.10.2011

EINGELADEN von VALERIA SCHWARZ und PEER GOLO WILLI
28. August 2011 (Sonntag)
Volkspark Hasenheide,
Berlin-Kreuzberg
Eintagesausstellung, ab 11 Uhr
http://www.offensichtlichoeffentlich.com/
Die Sehnsucht nach einem verlorenen Paradies und das Wunschbild einer humanen und liberalen Gesellschaft hat seit dem 18. Jahrhundert zu der Errichtung öffentlicher Parks geführt. Solche Parks erscheinen denn auch bis heute als ästhetisierte, domestizierte Natur im urbanen Raum. Sie sollen Stadtbewohnern als Ort der Erholung dienen, um nicht nur durch die gute Luft sondern auch durch die "ortsfremden” Sinnesreizungen einen Kontrast zum Alltag zu bilden.
Es wurden Künstlerinnen und Künstler eingeladen, sich mit dem tradierten Konzept des Volksparks als öffentlichen Raum auseinanderzusetzen. Hierfür wurden Vorschläge für ephemere Werke eingereicht, die während eines Sonntages und innerhalb eines begrenzten Areals im Volkspark Hasenheide in Berlin-Kreuzberg ausgeführt können.

We would like to draw your attention to the project Investir, developed by Valeria Schwarz with the collaboration of Betiana Bellofatto in the frame of Eventos Paralelos Manifesta 8. The project will take place between the 7th and the 14th of October 2010 in Murcia, Spain.
We warmly invite you to the official presentation in La Conservera Contemporary Art Center on the 9th of October 2010 at 9 pm.
We are looking forward to seeing you!

During three months the artists talked to people from North Africa through virtual platforms about identity, their image of Europe, their future perspectives, political situation, among other topics. From these dialogs, the most relevant statements were extracted and printed on T shirts. More than hundred volunteers from Murcia will be wearing these T shirts through the city during the first week of the Biennial. For further information, please check:

WITH/DRAWN
Natalia Blanco is taking part in with/drawn a collective drawing exhibition in Budapest.
The Drawing Room is hosting an international exhibition aiming to investigate the capacity of drawing; from the intimate, intricate mark to the volatile, restless moving image.
The Drawing Room is a non-profit association dedicated to supporting artists and artist initiated projects in downtown Budapest. The DR is a platform for encouraging collaboration and education in the context of contemporary art. We are pleased to partner with the Solymosi Academy for Arts.
As a new initiative their aim is to bring together different artistic disciplines in an environment of cooperation and learning. The DR aims to work collaboratively with Hungarian organizations, individual artists, and the community to create art programming as diverse as it is engaging.

A PROJECT BY VALERIA SCHWARZ
IN COLLABORATION WITH BETIANA BELLOFATTO
We present Investir, a project specially developed for the Biennial Manifesta 8, taking place this year in Murcia and Cartagena from October 2010 to January 2011.
http://manifesta8.es/manifesta/manifesta8.home
The topic of this edition is the relationship between Europe and North Africa. Our artist collective realized, how little we knew about African´s reality, except from the examples given by the press or ONGs reports. How could we create an artwork without repeating this stereotyped information?
Considering this, we decided to create a platform, a situation within the Biennial, where some other examples regarding the living, working, having fun, dreaming, leaving Africa can be infiltrated in the city of Murcia. We consciously avoid pictures, since they may provoke a momentary emotional sympathy, but they also reaffirm a reality. We believe that the stronger a picture in peoples mind is, the more difficult it is to change it. The intention is not to create ONE picture, but to show the variety, the contradiction, the multiple. Our project has two stages:
1. First of all, we would like to contact the most people from North Africa we can. Thereby a multiplicity of different people: elderly, young, students, immigrants, rich, poor, everyone are very welcome. Our main contact media will be the internet (facebook, forums, sites,etc) but we are glad to meet some people in Berlin also.
2. From our virtual conversations we will take some concepts,sentences, words, which are going to be printed on T-shirts. 99 Murcia inhabitants will wear these T-shirts for at least one week.

INSTALLATION IN THE PUBLIC SPACE - 48 HOURS NON STOP
A Project by i Collective (Betiana Bellofatto, Natalia Blanco, Jan Fischer, Lune Léoty, Valeria Schwarz)
From 25th - 27th June 2010, 48 hours non stop in the frame of 48 Stunden Neukölln.
Place: in front of Rathaus Neukölln, Karl-Marx-Str. 83, 12043 Berlin
We are proud to present STORY BOX, an installation in the public space which is the last project of i Collective e.V. for 48 Stunden Neukölln. In this occasion, i Collective develops a work in relationship with the principal characteristic of Neukölln: the coexistence of different social and ethnic groups. As an inverted Babel Tower, STORY BOX aims to join instead of disperse. Inside the cabin placed in front of the Rathaus Neukölln and during 48 hours non stop, the viewer will be able to listen to stories of different countries in different languages.
Conceived as a living monument, this project seeks to create a common identity from the difference. Each reader performs his/her own cultural background within Neukölln´s everyday life, activating associations, memories and images in the visitor only through the spoken word. On Sunday 27th between 9 and 12 am i Collective has a special program for children. We will also encourage children to participate by reading themselves stories for the adults.From 25th -27th June 2010, 48 hours non stop in the frame of 48 Stunden Neukölln, in front of the city hall / Rathaus Neukölln.
Supported by French Embassy, Instituto Cervantes, Argentinian Embassy, Kulturnetzwerk e.V.
CALL FOR WRITERS
On the occasion of 48 STUNDEN NEUKÖLLN, i Collective e. V is looking for writers who wish to read out their texts, short stories, poems, etc. The project - an installation placed in front of Rathaus Neukölln – goes from June 25th to 27th 2010. The reading should cover at least 1 hour program. Different languages are wished!
If you are interested, please send us some examples to: info@icollective-berlin.com
We are looking forward to receive your proposition!
