▪️YouTube silent video >> László Moholy-Nagy Ein Lichtspiel Schwarz Weiss Grau (Light Play: Black, White, Grey) [1930 / 6mins.+34secs.]:

Ein Lichtspiel Schwarz Weiss Grau (Light Play Black White Grey) is perhaps Lázló Moholy-Nagy's best-known film work. It features his Light-Space Modulator, also known as a lighting fixture for an electric stage.

Light-Space Modulator is a key work in the history of kinetic art and even new media art, and therefore one of the most important works of art of its time.

Initially conceived by Moholy-Nagy in the early 1920s and built between 1928 and 1930, its completion required the involvement of a number of collaborators.

It was intended to be the centrepiece of the Contemporary Room at the Provinzialmuseum in Hanover, planned (but never realised) by Moholy-Nagy and Alexander Corner, the museum's director.

Light-Space Modulator was exhibited in 1930 at an exhibition in Paris on the work of the German Werkbund. From the point of view of the object, it forms a complex and beautiful set of metal, plastic and glass elements, many of them movable by the action of an electric motor, surrounded by a series of coloured lights.

Moholy-Nagy used it to produce light shows that he then photographed or filmed, as in the case of the film shown here. Although in black and white, the film manages to capture the kinetic glow of the sculpture.

▪️YouTube video >> László Moholy-Nagy: Proto-Conceptual Artist [2019 / 5mins.+36secs.]:

Coinciding with the Bauhaus centenary, Hattula Moholy-Nagy and Daniel Hug, the daughter and grandson of László Moholy-Nagy, consider the lasting impact of the artist’s work today. Hauser & Wirth’s exhibition in London dedicated to Moholy-Nagy examines his influence as a proto-conceptualist, whose work interrogated the role of the art object and the artist in society, anticipating questions posed by subsequent generations of artists.

László Moholy-Nagy is on view at Hauser & Wirth London from 22 May – 7 September 2019.

Up until February 18, 2024 the Schirn Kunsthalle in Frankfurt/Main shows the first Lyonel Feininger retrospective in over 25 years in Germany, a welcome occasion to (re)discover the Bauhaus master and the lesser-known facets of his extensive oeuvre. Unlike past retrospectives it goes well beyond the iconic works and also features caricatures, toys and recently rediscovered photographs.

Feininger, born in New York, in 1888 passed the entry exam of the Königliche Akademie der Künste in Berlin and although he never completed his studies soon launched his career as a caricaturist for German, French and American papers.

It took until 1907 for his first painting to emerge it proved highly impactful: in his early figurative paintings, inspired by paper cuts and shooting gallery figures, Feininger experimented with surfaces, space and movement until roughly 1911. In this very year Feininger discovered Cubism and Robert Delaunay in particular as well as the Italian Futurists who proved hugely influential as his 1913 painting „Gelmeroda III“ demonstrates.

At the same time the Gelmeroda series, which spans 42 years between 1913 and 1955, is proof of Feininger’s undomgmatic moving between styles as later works are e.g. carried out in expressionist and cubist idioms.

But Gelmeroda wasn’t the only recurring topic in Feininger’s oeuvre: since his childhood days he was fascinated with sailboats and ships and consequently depicted them in crystalline, cubist forms that today rank among his popular works. Closely related to this body of work are his beach scenes, remarkable cubist compositions that sensibly capture the loneliness of the empty beach as well as the unique color moods of the sea.

These as well as the other works in the exhibition are crisply reproduced in the exhibition catalogue, recently published by Hirmer Verlag. In seven essays experts address a range of topics including the genesis of the Bauhaus manifesto, the importance of music for Feininger’s art or his life as caricaturist. Both exhibition and catalogue offer a unique opportunity to get to know Lyonel Feininger in the entirety of his artistic existence, surely a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

BRUCE WEBER — Dash Snow

Dash Snow and Ryan McGinley, 

New York City, New York, 

2005 

Dash Snow (American, 1981) was known as the enfant terrible of New York's art world until his untimely death in 2009. 

He could be found on the streets with a crew of young artists, including Ryan McGinley (American, 1977). 

Snow, McGinley, and their friends defined the post-9-11 art scene in New York. 

While Snow experimented with various media, most notably neo-Dada collage, assemblage sculpture, and film, his work shared a connection through its anti-establishment attitude and overwhelming paranoia of authority. 

McGinley's work, however, orbits around the life of family and friends, particularly in and around the Lower East Side. 

He became the youngest artist in 30 years to present a solo exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art. 

Snow's artwork was included in the 2006 Whitney Biennial, as well as in exhibitions at the Pergamon Museum in Berlin, the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, the MACRO Museum in Rome, the New Museum in New York, and most recently at the Schirn Kunsthalle in Frankfurt and the Staatliche Kusnthalle in Baden-Baden. 

McGinley's work is featured in public collections in the Guggenheim Museum in New York, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, among others

Doron Langberg was a student of Peter Halley's and it makes sense, but I never would have guessed.

Monster Chetwynd: A CAT IS NOT A DOG - Announcements

The Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt is presenting a location-specific installation by Monster Chetwynd (b. 1973) in its public Rotunda. The artist achieved fame with her exuberant and humorous performances using handmade costumes, props, and settings. Her works are often absurd and full of joie de vivre; they refer to popular culture or iconic works from art history. In […]
