Hauser & Wirth staff taking down and putting back up a paining in Martin Creed’s exhibition Toast, 2019.

At regular intervals they would take the painting down, the lights would dim, and a video would play, then they’d wheel the paining back in and put it back up again, only to come back in to take it down again a few minutes later.

Stella Im Hultberg’s “Tiger Whiskers” at Thinkspace Projects.

Currently on view at Thinkspace Projects in Los Angeles, California in their project room is artist Stella Im Hultberg’s solo exhibtion, “Tiger Whiskers.”

Hultberg’s paintings are conceived in varying combinations of ink, watercolor, and oils on paper, wood and canvas. Her lyrical depictions of women combine decorative elements and graphic patterns, melding the figurative with the illustrative and a looser more painterly component. Ever present, this tension between the gestural and the controlled describe space in her dynamic compositions. Her palettes tend towards the monochromatic, moody and dark, but are punctuated by moments of contrast and vibrancy.

Her mannered figurative style, both elegant and selectively awkward, is at times reminiscent of early 20th century artists like Egon Schiele, Aubrey Beardsley or Gustav Klimt. Though beautiful, her figures are strangely displaced, subtly distorted, and at times melancholically encumbered with ornamentation, as seen in a recent series in which her nudes are laden with heavy blooms. Darkly beautiful, Hultberg’s feminine imaginary is an ambiguous terrain of melancholic desire.

The exhibition will be on view until November 30th, 2019.

"The rib" is my last solo exhibition inaugurated the past thursday 3rd of October in La Galeria, an exhibition space in Terrassa's Centre cultural. The proposal emerges thinking about new masculinities, I don't want to focus the message in a gender issue or queer message (but it exists), I want to find an item in common with everyone, so I decide to adopt the Genesis (the first Bible text) and transform a little. I understand the Bible is an occidental story which is a cornerstone in our culture, for this reason I chose it. Firs of all we need to understand the time as a circular non-lineal, what can happen if the human born when Good pull of the Adan's rib and grow up a man? This men has in his mind, in his DNA all the actually men, all the machismo, all the power rules of a patriarchy society, so he will grow up knowing all the injustices, and he will bring new men, fragile men, empathetic men, a sorority men that are opposed to a binary world, and let grow up a new society.  Exhibtion in Centre Cultural, Terrassa.

THE FIRST EDITION OF PAPERLUST PHOTOBOOKS FEST IS OVER!

IT COULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED WITHOUT OUR PARTNERS, GUESTS, ARTISTS, VOLUNTEERS AND GUESTS. THANK YOU ALL!

by Fresh From Poland & Paper Beats Rock, funded by International Visegrad Fund

24.05 – 14.06.2019, Kraków

Paperlust Photobook Fest is a new biennial on the map of photographic events in Europe, stemmed from love to paper. Fest focuses on regional collaboration and aims to present the local self-publishing scene to the wider audience. The motivation behind the festival is to allow discovery while encouraging artistic exchange and explore the power of self-publishing as an offline medium, co-existing in the era of the Internet. PAPERLUST programme is formed of exhibitions, talks, book signings, panel discussion, workshop, photobook fair, reading room (chill zone and library) and dummy review. We invite small publishers, makers and established artists to present their practices, ranging from self-made publications and zines to book objects, albums, and photobooks published by the established institutions. As a reoccurring event, the festival aspires to become a photobook hub in  Central and East Europe.

First edition – PAPERLUST Photobook Fest 2019. Art and self-publishing as a tool for social change is focused on the Visegrad region and has been created in close collaboration with the festival’s partners from Slovakia, Czech, and Hungary. It intends to gather local institutions, publishers, non-profit organizations and makers together to increase the visibility and exposure of the artists using photobooks to tell their stories, as well as strengthen, connect and empower the local art scene.

PAPERLUST PHOTOBOOK FEST OPENING & PHOTOBOOK. ASSET EXHIBTION OPENING GALERIA I!, KRAKÓW, 24.05.2019

PHOTOBOOK. ASSET  EXHIBTION GALERIA I!, KRAKÓW, 24.05.2019

Exhibition Asset focuses on the economic and prestige aspects of art publications. An artistic book has become a tool for the emancipation of artist-maker. Having printed publication allows in an almost automatic way to get into the field of the world of art, or rather the history of art. It is often made with the purpose of creating a unique object, that might become a cultural asset.

Except for the context criterion, we do not have any other criteria for evaluation, what is a work of art and what is not. In any case, however, we need legitimacy – perhaps as time passes, distribution of power and who has the legitimacy to evaluate and give the status to a work of art will change. However, traditional, institutional bodies are still holding a strong position. Even though artists, as well as publishers,  say that books are overproduced, that there is no environment, not enough audiences or market, publishing an art book still seems to be amongst the best ways to build up one’s position in the art world.

The exhibition presents the selection of books made with a purpose to become an asset, a self-standing piece of art, to bring an income or to became a valuable, collectable object.

Artists: Petr Fabo, Ivars Gravlejs, Agata Grzybowska, Blanka Győri and Máté Labu, Hubert Humka, Dominika Jackuliakova, Libuse Jarcovjakova, Martin Kochan, Wawrzek Kolbusz, Peter Kollanyi, Martin Kollar, Wojtek Mazan, Peter Puklus, Łukasz Rusznica, Michał Siarek, Jakub Stanek, Krystyna Jędrzejewska-Szmek & Łukasz Gniadek, Beatrix Szörényi, Milan Tittel, Tereza Zelenkova

PHOTOBOOK. STORYTELLING  EXHIBTION

ZNACZY SIĘ, KRAKÓW, 24.05 – 14.06.19

The show is a part of the series that focuses on various aspects of the photobook. A carefully designed exhibition presents the most interesting samples of the photobooks from the Visegrad region, that have been made out of the need to convey, usually a personal, story. Most of the presented works are either self-published or published in small editions, including hand-made or low-cost printed zine publications.

A book, as depicted in the show, becomes the means for communicating one’s personal experience, a cultural experience and the same time becomes an instrument protecting such experience from oblivion. The leitmotiv of a narration underlines the role of the recipient as an active participant/interpreter of the work of art.

Low-cost self-publishing is here a starting point for a polemic about the nature of the medium. The dissemination using the most economic and least demanding means gives it the power of an independent statement. The questions asked by the authors are an attempt to reflect on the phenomena of this type of publications on the Central European market, their role, ways of production and presentation, as well as expectations of the recipient.

Artists: Tabori Andras, Ewa Behrens, Eva Benkova, Stanislav Briza, Radek Brousil, Jan Brykczynski, Magda Buczek, Kateřina Držková, Peter Fabo, Viola Fátyol, Lucia Gamanová, Aurélia Garová, Agnieszka Gotowała, Anna Hornik , Tomoya Imamura, Zuzana Ivašková, Tereza Kabůrková, Ines Karčáková, Joanna Margarethe Kischka, Deana Kolencikova, Jan Kolský, Viktor Kopasz, Paulina Korobkiewicz, Andrea Kurjakova, Katarzyna Ewa Legendź, Tomasz Liboska, Michał Loba, Alicja Łabądź, Maciej Moskwa, Boris Németh, Anna Orłowska, Krzysiek Orłowski, Ivana Paleckova, Igor Pisuk, Marcin Płonka, Piotr Pytel, Krzysztof Racoń, Kaja Rejczel Rata, Anka Sielska, Jakub Stanek, Juraj Starovecký, Dorota Stolarska, Eva Szombat, Budha Tamás, Jiri Thyn, Balázs Varju Tóth, Ondrej Urban, Imrich Veber, Dorotteya Veykony, Ján Viazanička, Lukasz Wierzbowski, Karolina Wojtas, Adrian Wykrota, Ficsór Zsolt, Kasia Zolich, KWAS (Karolina Wojtas, Agnieszka Sejud)

PHOTOBOOK. PROCESS EXHIBTION

NOŚNA GALLERY, KRAKÓW, 24.05 – 14.06.19

In this exhibition, we treat objects of art as a consequence and as an event. We explore the medium of a book as a work in progress submerged in group work, culture, and its own particularities. The exhibition investigates photobooks as a constantly evolving medium in relation to its potentiality. It includes drafts, dummies, sketches, and excerpts from different stages of the work that cannot be completed.

Referring directly to the activities related to the book in a political context, here also the core idea is an artistic prosumer activity, or more precisely its aspect pertaining to work with an art object, that is done by a particular group/ collective. The work created in this way is a result of the vision and ideas of all those involved in the creation process. We want to open a dialogue on the role of a photo editor in photographic publications. We want to define the route which the author- photo editor relation is going through and tension it generates through the choice of photographs, arrangement, strategy – a cycle of events related to the photographic book.

Process exhibition emphasizes a special presence and interactive lecture by Viktor Kopasz and his lifelong process of creating Diaries.

Kopasz’s works become a starting point to think about a book in terms of a multidimensional process. The process can be considered from the perspective of an artist, as a work that can be presented synchronously – from idea to implementation – or asynchronously, as a kind of spiral, which concentrically returns to the centre, and can be looked at from different positions. By disrupting the order of the beginning and the end, the book appears as a final product of the process, enters into a new cycle – that varies depending on the adapted presentation and distribution strategy.

It is a more specific kind of self-publishing, in the context of the previous examples, as it functions as a work of art on the border of the avant-garde, ready-made and niche, crafted publications. Kopasz consciously plays with the medium, its content, and formal potential.

VIKTOR KOPASZ. PROCESS. PROLONGED IDENTITY. OPEN STUDIO

APTEKA GALLERY, KRAKÓW, 25.05 – 27.05.19

Our ambition is to involve the artist in the process of creating. Therefore, for a limited time, we want to change the gallery’s window into an artist’s studio. Artist, being present, will allow the viewers to look at a photographic book as part of a broader phenomenon. The artist is working for 3 days in the window of the gallery. The temporary display changes every day. It might be a radical move or a subtle shift of meaning that we can follow alongside the process.

The presentation of the works and performative character of the exhibition by Viktor Kopasz allows placing the contemporary phenomenon of the book boom in a historical context while creating an experience of the process itself in real time.

TOMASZ ŁĄCZNY. PROCESS. C​18F​E​7N​18. OPEN STUDIO

APTEKA GALLERY, KRAKÓW, 01.05 – 02.06.19

Self-publishing practices in Hungary in the post-digital era/ Beata Istvánkó

The notion of artists’ publishing activities has changed over the past decades, in particular with

the expansion of the art market and the globalization of artistic practices, combined with the advent of the digital era and the introduction of new modes of production and circulation. Print and digital projects employ experimental formats and blur distinctions between art press, curatorial

experiments, and other publishing enterprises. The aim of the presentation is to summarize the history of independent art publishing in Hungary after 2000 through the activity of the Budapest based ISBN books+gallery.

The ISBN is a contemporary art bookstore and a gallery space established in 2017. The name of the gallery was obtained from the 13-digit identification number for publication, the ISBN-number (International Standard Book Number). The most important mission of the ISBN books+gallery is to map, collect, exhibit and distribute the domestic and regional, Hungarian and foreign language, new and second-hand contemporary art publications, exhibition catalogues, zines, art books, photobooks and theoretical publications.

Young scene of photobook makers in Slovakia/ Olja Triaška Stefanović

Five years ago students from the Department of Photography and New Media at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design, Bratislava, Slovakia showed great interest in making photobooks within their visual researches. Olja Triaška Stefanović, together with her colleague Juraj Blaško from Visual Communication department, realized that it is necessary to open new and interdisciplinary course, that will link two departments and prepare students to make more professional photobooks. They created and started together to teach, PHO BO – Creation of Photobook where the main part of the course is focused on teaching a wide range of technological processes together with visual dramaturgy and storytelling. The author will be focused on the presentation of youngest generations of authors from Slovakia, their production of photobook and how they can improve the self-publishing market in Slovakia. Triaška Stefanović will present their books, zines and introduce to the audience how they work within the PHO BO, what is the course methodology and how they prepare students for professional work after graduation.

I shout „That’s Me!” Stories of Czech fanzines from the ’80s till now // Miloš Hroch & Pavel Turek // presentation of the book

The book ‘I shout “That‘s me!” Stories of Czech fanzines from the 80s till now’, published by PageFive, for the first time takes its readers through uncharted waters of the Czech fanzine scene, that is of unofficial amateur magazines. It brings to light stories of those who fell for computer games or wrote sci-fi stories, who obsessively compiled their own metal music charts, who were driven to street demonstrations by hardcore punk music or who wanted to change the standing of women in society. And about those who then wrote about it freely in their magazines. „This type of publication has the advantage that you can wave it around and shout ‚That’s me!’” – a photographer, a protagonist of the youngest fanzine trend of photozines, explains the essence of fanzines in one of the chapters of the book. And while there is the talk of the decline of printed media, the microcosm of independent printing is constantly expanding.

LET’S TALK ABOUT SELF-PUBLISHING – PANEL DISCUSSION

MOCAK, KRAKÓW, 31.05.19

The debate is focusing on the current situation of self-publishing the Eastern and Central Europe, its role and potential. Guests will discuss the phenomenon in the current socio-political context, its recent trends and how the role of self-publishing evolved in the era of the Internet.

The discussion at MOCAK Musem will be moderated by Michał Sita (Pix.House), and the speakers are Olja Triaška Stefanovič (Academy of Fine Arts and Design, Bratislava), Stanislav Briza (Bflmpsvz publishing) and Beáta Istvánkó (ISBN books+gallery, Budapest).

桜 Exhibition 019 本会期 https://sakuraexhibition.com/post/183862056481/tokyosakuraex2019

Gallery CORSO：https://www.lithmatic.net/lithApCorso/ 2019年4月5日(金) ～4月14日(日) 11:00～19:00 (初日16:00〜、最終日〜18:00)

東京本会期終了致しました！ たくさんの御来場ありがとうございました!! 引き続き受賞作品展、巡回展と続いて参ります！ よろしくお願い致します 本会期 GalleryCORSO (九段下) の様子をレポートいたします。

初日。 夕方からのオープンで、待ち構えてやってきてくださったファンの方、出展作家の方が在廊されていました。

出展作品は、6色高精細の印刷でヴァンヌーボという高級なアート紙にハーフマットな質���で再現されており、複製原画さながらに美しく刷り上がって展示されていました。 主催のPICOがアート印刷も扱う印刷屋さんならでは！です。

すべての作品は、展示しているのと同じ仕様でポスターとして販売しており、大変好評でした。 通常、このクラスの高品質のリプリントをポスター価格で提供するのは難しいので、購入されたお客さんもそうですが、普段アーティストグッズを制作している作家さんたちからも「個人ではとてもできないようなポスターでうれしい」と感動の声をいただきました。 PICO、本気です。

以前から桜Exhibitionをご存知いただいていたアートファンの方は「アート作品のポスターはなかなか手に入らないのでうれしい」と気に入った作品のポスターをまとめ買いされる場面もありました。

全作品の！ポスターが！刷られてる！ こんな風に用意されてると感動しますよね。 例年は受注販売だったので、その場で好きな作品を連れて帰れるようになったのは、ホントに印刷のPICO の太っ腹の賜物です！！

ご協賛企業のCanon @Canon_mj さまの隆起印刷の実物が見れるコーナーです。 2014年と2015年のメインビジュアルでサンプルを作成していただきました。 ロゴ部分が盛り上がる印刷でみなさん触ってみて興味津々でした。

賞品の一部が飾ってありるコーナーもありました。

この紙見本 (平和紙業賞@heiwa_paper)が来場された作家さんにとっても好評で、「見ていいですか？」「賞品なんです、すみません」というやりとりが多すぎて、最終的にはサランラップをかけました。

コピック賞 @COPIC_Official、ATC賞、背景倉庫賞も作家にはうれしい賞ですね！

桜Exhibtionでは初の落書きコーナーもありました。

会期を通してたくさんの方が描いてくれました。 とっても豪華なコラボレーション✨

スタッフ席からギャラリー内を撮影。 奥の右手にもスペースがあり、落書きコーナーなどはそちらです。 配置は厳密ではありませんが、良い場所からご入稿の順番という感じで展示されているとのこと。

TAKE FREEの名刺コーナーには、出展作家さんの名刺が並びました。

正面桜の木のメッセージボードには、メッセージカードの桜が咲いていきました。

作家様・作品への思いで、CORSOの桜の木もこんなに華やかに！ メッセージも満開です🌸

Twitterでもお知らせをたくさんしてます。 以下のハッシュダグもぜひチェックしてみてください。

会場の様子や作家さんの様子がリアルタイムでわかり、ワクワクします。

Vaisakhi Mela 2019

Vaisakhi is the biggest celebration in the Sikh calendar, it is an historical and religious Sikh festival. It is always celebrated on 13 or 14thApril every year. It commemorates the year in 1699 when Guru Gobind Singh a sikh leader and warrior formed a religious group called the khalsa.

The Sikhs believed that Guru Gobind Singh gathered all sikh to the Indian city called the Anandpur Sahib, Punjab. Guru Gobind Singh asked the crowd “who is prepared to die for their faith” Five men out of the crowd stepped forward and were taken into a tent separetly. The Guru re-appeared with a blooded sword in his hand and the five men were beside the guru. Guru Gobind singh were so proud of them and he decided to call the five men “ Panj Pyare” which mean five loved ones, and this was the birth of khalsa.

The event took place in Birmingham Handsworth park where two procession also known as the Nagar Kirtan took place- one from hockley, the other from smethick heading towards handsworth park. The procession is led by the “panj pyare” who are followed by the guru granth sahib, the holy sikh scripture which is placed on a float that is decorated with flowers. There were also elderly women singing sikh hyms to celebrate the joyful day and they were accommodated on a open truck.

Atleast 100,000 people attended the event from different race, there was also a funfair for children, exhibtions, charity stand and food stalls. The food was also prepared by the sikh gudwaras across the black country called the langar. There was also a marquee tent in the middle of the part event for all the Sikhs to worship called the Darbar, that was open to all communities to visit and understand the Sikh faith. The marquee was decorated in night blue and white drapes, ahead was achient swords that were used by sikh warriors in the 1600s- one of them were Guru Gobind Singh Swords.

On the other half of the Darbar Hal,  there were three men were singing hyms which is called the Sangat. There accompanied with three religious instrument, one is called the vaja which is a wind instrument and the second instrument is called the tabla which is similar to drums however they play the instrument by hands. Thousand of people donated money at the Sangat for charity which would go towards Homeless Shelters and the Elderly homes in the Midlands.

The student exhibt to the Black Model exhibt was so awesome and full of talented artworks. I was annoyed with howbout of the way, hidden, and far away from the big exhibit. I felt like it should have been closer to it since it was a reaction/reflection of the pieces from the main exhibit.

The Terrain Biennial is an international exhibition of site-specific art made for front yards, balconies, and porches. Centered in the historic village of Oak Park, IL, the 2019 Biennial will open on October 1st and run until November 17th, 2019. Sabina Ott, founder of Terrain Exhibitions, passed away in the summer of 2018, leaving behind an ambitious and innovative legacy spanning three editions of the Terrain Biennial and countless artist projects at her home in Oak Park, IL.

Artists or groups of artists have produced public art installations, performances, interventions, sculptures, video and many more forms for the Terrain Biennial. We are seeking high quality imaginative projects that will be exhibited for the duration of the Biennial. Projects need to withstand the elements and be safely installed.
