CONTRIBUTORS ARTiculAction Art Review // Special EditioN
As Constantin Brancusi stated once, "what is real is not the external form, but the essence of things: it is impossible for anyone to express anything essentially real by imitating its exterior surface."
For this special edition of ARTiculAction
we had the chance to discuss about the relationship between art,
perception, socially driven projects and unconventional aesthetics with
twelve amazing artists from the contemporary scene, whose works show
that the object of art is not to reproduce reality, but to create a
reality of the same intensity.
Curator: Lýdia Pribišová
ZK/U - Zentrum für Kunst und Urbanistik is pleased to present the group exhibition 'Autostop'.
For this project, various artists from around Europe, actively engaging
in hitchhiking, were asked to present a work connected with this topic.
The project consists of videos, performances, photographs, objects, film
screenings, texts and discussion.
Participating Artists:
Konstantin Bojanov, Jascha Fibich (Tramprennen - a hitchhiking race
across Europe), Family Worm (Judit Fischer, Miklós Mécs, András
Zalavári), Oto Hudec, Andrea Kalinová, Patrick Laviolette, Jűrgen Rendl,
Frauke Zeller & David Harris Smith (hitchBOT)
The exhibition is supported by the Slovak Art Council.
'Food and Footage' is co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union and is part of Shared Cities: Creative Momentum (SCCM).
International artists create a two-day
high-energy event with an international context by presenting their work
in an hourly schedule throughout the weekend.
The actions follow creating a connection between the public open space
of the Schillerkiez with the private indoor space of Luisa Catucci
Gallery.
Performers and viewers will be taking the inside to the outside and the outside to the inside.
The power of momentary impulses and the power of intervention with space
and time, and the encompassing mix of genres and disciplines create the
action weekend to become an unforeseeable overall picture of
Performances where the threshold of categories merges.
Material and conceptual structures are absent and the viewers meet with their own interpretative freedom.
A world within a world where one main characteristic dominates: the
transformation of ideas, redirecting the expectation level for
completeness into an permissiveness for surprise.
Artists and viewers
alike experience the amenable possibilities of dis-categorization
between performing art and fine art.
Artist next to Artist and its non-stopping continuity of actions and
movement through spaces, gallery and most of all public, unexpected
urban environments of Neukölln’s everyday life situations.
Pavements
transform into exciting, temporary platforms for feet and heads and the
pedestrian’s stride is being interrupted.
The idea that the limitations of private and public are being met and
may be are distorted, at that threshold open the borders of countries
and foreign cultures, the moment when artists of different nationalities
engage on Cell63 as a unique, international experienced art platform.

Their refined multidisciplinary approaches give life to an incessant process of recontextualization, that provides the viewers of an extension ofthe basic human perception, in order to manipulate it, releasing it from its most primordial, limbic parameters.
Overtly playing with the unheimlich nature of gestural movements and sound, as well as traditional brushstrokes and photography, their pieces reveal the tendency to exist in continuum, residing somewhere in our collective memory. We are particularly pleased to introduce our readers to their multifaceted artistic productions.
"As museums are rethinking their relationship to their audience online, an increasing number chooses to publish online magazines, and many of these publications emerge from institutions that are not necessarily the major museums in art world hubs. The attitudes toward these publishing initiatives vary—some choose to outline the scope of their publishing platforms in the shape of their programming, while others produce magazines that are thematically related to subjects the museum covers but are not directly linked to the art on view. What they all share is a feeling that online publishing expands the museum's audience, making it a potentially global one." (Orit Gat)

Ouverture de la résidence de Noemi Čotić
Helaine Blumenfeld OBE: Hard Beauty
The exhibition reveals the rich history of realized and unrealized temporary structures within Moscow’s Gorky Park and demonstrates important stylistic advancements within Russian architecture.
Garage Center for Contemporary Culture presents Temporary Structures in Gorky Park
Garage Center for Contemporary Culture will present a new exhibition entitled Temporary Structures in Gorky Park: From Melnikov to Ban from 20 October to 9 December 2012 in a newly created temporary pavilion in Moscow’s Gorky Park, designed by Japanese architect Shigeru Ban. Showing rare archival drawings –many of which have never been seen before – the exhibition will begin by revealing the profound history of structures created in the park since the site was first developed in 1923, before moving through the Russian avant-garde period to finish with some of the most interesting contemporary unrealized designs created by Russian architects today.
By their nature, temporary structures erected for a specific event or happening have always encouraged indulgent experimentation, and sometimes this has resulted in ground-breaking progressive design. This exhibition recognizes such experimentation and positions the pavilion or temporary structure as an architectural typology that oscillates between art object and architectural prototype. In Russia, these structures or pavilions – often constructed of insubstantial materials – allowed Soviet architects the ability to express the aspirations of the revolution. They frequently became vehicles for new architectural and political ideas, and they were extremely influential within Russian architectural history.
Temporary Structures also reveals the evolution of a uniquely Russian ‘identity’ within architecture and the international context, which has developed since the 1920s and continues today.
Group Exhibition “Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie – Contemporary Visions on China” to be displayed in Taipei
This year sees the third consecutive year of the fascinating annual exhibition hosted by Yi&C, and is again organized by collector Rudy Tseng 1. The opening of this exhibition will be held on November 9th in coordination with the schedule of Art Taipei 2012.
Besides Part 1 of the exhibition in Yi&C Contemporary Art, the second part of the exhibition will be extended to a new space—Artrans Fine Art Storage, an individual stand alone building in Neihu where three out of six-story building where a portion of the art works will be exhibited. The theme of this exhibition is Chinese contemporary art. Italian curator Davide Quadrio, a long-term inhabitant of Shanghai who speaks fluent Mandarin, is invited to curate this grand-scale exhibition, along with Jenny Lee as the assistant curator.
The title is inspired from Spanish director Luis Buñuel’s movie of the same title, Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie. Buñuel collaborated with Salvador Dali in producing Un Chien Andalou,
a classic film of surrealism, which deeply influenced Latino films
directors such as Pedro Almodóvar Caballero in Spain.

Woe-nderland curated by Henone Girma features five NYC-based artists – Belinda James, Ben Ponté, Elan Ferguson, JaSon Auguste, and Tariku Shiferaw. The title Woe-nderland takes as its point of departure the 1996 single ‘If I Ruled the World’ by recording artist Nas that begins with “Life, I wonder, will it take me under, I don’t know” – a simultaneous testimony to the ills of society and contemplation of its potentials.

Nina A. Isabelle is a process-based multidisciplinary
artist working with abstract painting, performance art, video,
photography, sound, and sculpture. Her background also includes
alternative process photography and modern dance. Isabelle identifies
with Maximalism and Action Art and works to push material and
information past the point of recognition in a way that forces a shift
in meaning revealing new information that can transform and challenge
the limits of material, perception, approach and belief. Sensory input
is deconstructed to the extent that meanings becomes shifted and
interpretations become a phenomena of psychic imprint. Her work
references the potential for the alignment of action and intention to
manufacture realities, the failure of dialogue, the dissonance between
form and content, as well as the shortcomings of literal language.
Isabelle is continually motivated to challenge the
boundaries of her perception and approach by collaborating with new
situations to compel viewership in unexpected directions.

Viktor Fuček (*1977, Czechoslovakia) is a graduated architect who continued his studies in the Academy of Fine Arts, Prague and since years he has been actively present in the various fields of contemporary arts. His creative practice covers the field of visual arts from painting and installation to performances and extends into an interdisciplinary dimension when he collaborates with contemporary music composers to produce visual interventions. What is common all of these different kind of artistic activity is the constant effort to observe and closely scrutinize the social and ecological ambience around him to develop a better understanding about the human behavior and its impact on our society.
