Press Release:

“Do not look at me in that tone of voice” – Dorothy Parker

Investigating the crossroads between sculpture, architecture and design Rita McBride’s collaboration with Micky Damm and Christian Odzuck purposefully pokes fun at Modernism’s horrible long lost grandsons. Channeling a somewhat “expanded sculptural” sensitivity as their starting point the group wanders through medial labyrinths and referential alleyways in order to confront the long process that allegedly gave birth to the ever so charming idea of “contemporaneity”. Asking the right questions without ever having to dictate their rightful answers we are presented a user’s guide to the blind spots of continental modernity.

The Düsseldorf based group began with obtaining large amounts of aluminium tiles from an old modernist department store. The occasion allows for a series of experiments around the paradoxes of working with an architectural vocabulary within an institutional framework. McBride’s practice revolves around a trans-disciplinary and collaborative process, that doesn’t hesitate to address vital critical questions without losing its wit and humor. Combining sculptural interventions, objects and a series of publications she rejects the idea of taking center stage and opts for a discreet place in the shadows, hiding the author and sharpening her tongue.

It’s a joke waiting for its punch line, a study on how to stir art theoretical and historical discourses with a cunning smile, or even a bedtime story about a red caped feminist icon that’s had just about enough with all the big bad wolfs ruining her life.

A large scale installation consisting of individual diamond shaped aluminium elements dominates the gallery’s front space cutting it in half while occupying the main entrance and storefront window. Creating an obvious obstacle the viewer’s obligated to reevaluate the way she’s / he’s accustomed to approaching a work of art, whether hanging on a wall or lying on the floor. The space itself, both negative and not, cannot be held to simple background noise, but rather opens itself for creative dialogue. The Tulip Pulpit, a tulip shaped wooden base completed with publications, sketches and works on paper, showcases a series of narratives shaped from pre-existing structures that will merge and unavoidably fold into themselves, developing unexpectedly with each one completing what the other one started. Networks of information intertwine in a dynamic manner, constantly becoming but never simply being. Alluding to the idea of fleshing out National Treasures the group builds an environment that plays with our understanding and expectations around art’s stance in the public sphere and its counterpart within an institutional framework.

Making one’s way to the back one senses a quoting process taking place. The idea of (De)Contextualizing objects, concepts and thoughts evolves into a critical dialogue about and through the continental histories and definitions of art. By transforming their focus the pieces go back and forth between an “objet trouvé” and a self-referential structure that highlights the clash between Functionalism and Formalism and points to the one way evolution that left all its –isms behind. Referencing Minimalism’s heritage whilst sneaking through the backdoor of Conceptual Art’s obsession with burning commodities at the stake, EXTENSION comes face to face with the unavoidable problematic of dealing with the mess of our forth fathers. Both on closeted white cubes and open air sceneries.

It’s about being wittingly cynical on the face of a utopian tale you already know the ending of; about rejecting the idea of being put in your place within a linear narration that has the audacity to make a leap of faith from a point A to point B, without taking into account the chaos lurking in-between.

And it’s in that precise ‘space in- between’, where the show comes to life, existing within a dismantled network of formalist histories, national memories and wisecracking jokes.

Art of this projekte: learning from Venice

Proseguo verso Münster, per la seconda tappa del mio viaggio. Il centro ha un aspetto quasi fiabesco, con le viuzze sospese tra esili facciate e slanciati campanili gotici, circondato com’è da un lungo viale immerso nel verde. E una collezione di scultura contemporanea da far invidia a centri di importanza ben maggiore. Sì perché la piccola cittadina tedesca ha, negli ultimi quattro decenni, selezionato e acquisito opere pensate e realizzate durante le passate edizioni della mostra: così si passeggia tra i vari Daniel Buren, Richard Serra, Giovanni Anselmo e Giuseppe Penone. E poi l’affascinante ottagono riflettete di Dan Graham, l’intensa installazione luminosa di Lothar Baumgarten, il verde santuario di Herman de Vries. E ancora Claes Oldenburg, Donald Judd, Bruce Nauman, solo per citarne alcuni. Molti i progetti di questa edizione che non deludono le alte aspettative: le sottili connessioni di CAMP, i passaggi sonori di Emeka Ogboh, lo strano generatore cosmico di Mika Rottenberg, i tatuaggi di Michael Smith. Emergono poi le ricercate atmosfere d’altri tempi di Gerard Byrne e quelle scanzonate di Benjamin de Burca e Bárbara Wagner, il delicato intervento di Hervé Youmbi, il rarefatto interno di Gregor Schneider, l’alienante installazione di Hito Steyerl. E la densa passeggiata sull’acqua di Ayşe Erkmenn, che con un’azione dal sapore vagamente ludico riesce a far emergere più di un riferimento alla contemporaneità. E poi Pierre Huyghe. Devo ammetterlo, non riesco a smettere di pensare al suo lavoro, alla suggestiva potenza che riesce ad emanare. Sarei curioso di rivederlo tra dieci anni, di osservare i cambiamenti che quelli che oggi sono piccoli frammenti di vita potranno operare in un lasso di tempo così lungo. Continuo tra i vari progetti. Si contano in poche decine, e questo consente certamente uno sguardo piuttosto attento, ma ritrovo quella sorta di attitudine alla dislocazione, che qui diventa vera e propria dispersione: alcune opere si allontanano l’una dall’altra di diversi chilometri, altre sono particolarmente difficili da localizzare, altre ancora arrivano quasi a snaturarsi per la loro collocazione. Il bel progetto di Oscar Tuazon, ad esempio, perde ogni parvenza di funzione sociale o aggregativa a causa dell’infelice zona di cantiere in cui si trova, così come la pur interessante struttura di Christian Odzuck, che dovrebbe nelle intenzioni far riflettere su demolizioni, costruzioni e sviluppi urbani ma finisce inevitabilmente per essere assorbita in un anonimo e ordinario paesaggio di periferia. E Aram Bartholl, che sceglie per il suo 12v un luogo quantomai curioso se rapportato al tipo di installazione. Ma forse non è qualcosa che riguarda soltanto i singoli progetti. Forse manca proprio un centro, non solo fisico ma anche ideologico. Perché in fondo questo aspetto geograficamente sfilacciato rischia, a volte riuscendoci, di sfilacciare anche un impianto curatoriale attentamente costruito, di far perdere di vista quello che si cerca di comunicare con la mostra, quella lettura complessiva che la somma delle singole opere dovrebbe proporre. Forse manca una sorta di ‘padiglione centrale’, un luogo in cui presentare la mostra con progetti selezionati, in cui poter avere un’idea di ciò che si vedrà, o in cui poter riflettere con calma su ciò che si è visto, lasciando da parte per un po’ quella sorta di frenetica ansia da ‘caccia al progetto’ che ci accompagna in giro per la città. Mi allontano da Münster, tornando indietro verso quella che sarà l’ultima tappa del mio viaggio. E continuo a pensare a Pierre Huyghe.
