Theater of Immanence presents:
WAS IST KUNST? WAS IST ARCHITEKTUR?
Donnerstag, 13.Dezember, 16 Uhr, Portikus
Gäste: Tobias Rehberger, Ben van Berkel, Thomas Bayrle
Moderation: Daniel Birnbaum
Die Bildende Kunst der letzten Jahrzehnte hat sich immer wieder von anderen Disziplinen inspirieren lassen: Kino, Mode, Musik, Architektur…Gleichzeitig entwickeln sich in der Architektur Gestaltungsformen, die offensichtlich von der Kunst beeinflußt wurden. Wie zieht man heute die Grenze zwischen den Disziplinen? Ist eine Grenze überhaupt noch relevant?
Symposium:
Canvases and Careers Today
Saturday, 15 December, 3 p.m., Aula
Sunday, 16 December, 2 p.m., Portikus
Guests: Georg Baker, Melanie Gilligan, Branden W. Joseph, John Kelsey, Julia Voss, André Rottmann, Tom Holert, Merlin Carpenter
Die Veranstaltung findet in englischer Sprache statt.
This conference takes up the propositions of Harrison and Cynthia White’s seminal study, "Canvases and Careers" (1965). It deliberately avoids the usual pessimistic accounts that deplore criticism’s supposed powerlessness. Instead of mourning its obsolescence thereby adopting the perspective of a history of decay, we propose a different take on the situation. We want to assess the changes resulting from the current "market-imperialism" (Ulrich Bröckling) as structural and functional changes. As much as new competence profiles have emerged, criticism’s function seems to be renegotiated as well. It is the premise of this conference that criticism is faced with new constraints AND new spaces of possibility.
While it is certainly true that criticism has very little impact on the secondary market, it nevertheless represents a commodity that is highly in demand in other spheres since an economy based on knowledge production desperately wants to incorporate it.
Harrison and Cynthia White famously coined the term "dealer-critic-system". According to them, it replaced the academic system in late 19th century due to the special needs of the impressionist movement. We want to ask if it is still a "dealer-critic-system" that makes an artist’s career? Wouldn’t it be more precise to speak of a "dealer-collector-system"? There can be no doubt that we are currently faced with a high degree of mobility between the commercial and the institutional spheres. Presently clearly circumscribed competence profiles have become fluid. New types of critic-curators, collector-dealers or artist-gallerist-critics emerge everywhere. Is this a sign of an emancipatory end of a formerly rigid division of labor? Or does this enlargement of competence simply correspond to the postfordist call for flexibility and mobility?
We look forward to discussing these matters with you at our conference!
The Symposium is organized by the Institut für Kunstkritik, Städelschule.

THEATER OF IMMANENCE / EXHIBITION DESIGN / HENRY VIII´S WIVES / JUDITH HOPF
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
Theater of Immanence presents:
Florencia Colombo: ACT WITHOUT WORDS, 2007
Sonntag, 9. Dezember, 17 Uhr, Portikus
Act without Words ist Teil einer Serie von Arbeiten von Florencia Colombo, die sich mit der Thematik des Raums im Erzählkino befassen. In dieser Videoinstallation wird ein Film nacherzählt, aus dem jedoch die Schauspieler aus den einzelnen Sequenzen herausgenommen wurden. Dies führt zu einem scheinbar „entleerten” Film, aus dem die Schauspieler kurzzeitig entschwunden zu sein scheinen. Colombos Videoinstallation basiert auf dem Film Coffee and Cigarettes von Jim Jarmusch (2003), der auf einer Serie von 11 Dialogen basiert. Durch die Elimination der Schauspieler, wird der ursprüngliche Dialog allein von der Kamera durch leere Filmbilder wiederholt, ohne sich jedoch von der Struktur des Filmes gemäß den ursprünglichen Dialogen zu entfernen.
Präsentation:

Eröffnung: Montag, 10. Dezember, 18 Uhr, Parkdeck, Rhönstr. 121, Frankfurt am Main
Ein Workshop-Projekt der Klasse Willem de Rooij
Im Rahmen der Klasse von Willem de Rooij findet an der Städelschule vom 4. bis 10.12.2007 ein Workshop zum Thema Ausstellungsgestaltung statt. Roger Bundschuh, Wilfried Kühn und Benjamin Meyer-Krahmer, die mit unterschiedlichen Perspektiven und Herangehensweisen in diesem Bereich arbeiten, sind an der Städelschule zu Gast, um ausgewählte Projekte zu präsentieren und studentische Entwürfe zu diskutieren, die in dieser Zeit entstehen. Drei Gruppen von Studenten installieren an drei verschiedenen Orten Ihre Arbeiten - ein Atelierraum, ein Büroraum, ein Parkdeck - eine Gruppenausstellung.

Judith Hopf: The beautiful world of things and the search of adhesive forms of communication.
Tuesday, 11 December, 19h, Aula
Die Veranstaltung findet in englischer Sprache statt.
To address the question „what are we doing, while we do something?“ we dare to answer with the philosopher Helene Arendt. In her book “Vita Activa” Arendt differentiates three kinds of doing: to work, to produce and to act. Whereas the work is needed and the production is consumed, the action is the mode that is essential to political interaction. The action is comprehended in a broader sense: it might be also – unlike production that is spent or unlike the product that is needed – “the right word at the right time”.
The lecture queries what relevance these differentiations have for the aesthetic and artistic examination. I will discuss the modes of action and where it manifests itself on the basis of some of my works. The lecture concerns also the observation in relation to the reverse: Does the possibility to act include a substantional deal of (awareness of) „stupidity“ and are you able continue to act with that?
Henry VIII's Wives
Wednesday, 12 December, 19h Aula
Henry VIII's Wives is a collaborative art group formed in 1997 by six graduates from the Environmental Art program at Glasgow School of Art.
Since its formation the group has worked continuously on projects and exhibitions throughout Europe and the U.S. Their work – which includes drawing, painting, film and sculpture – often incorporates the expertise and cooperation of people, and defined groups of people, outside the art world. For instance: stock brokers in Berlin, Police in Vilnius, members of the Association for the Blind, New York, religious believers and clergy of various denominations, Oslo, and elderly at a Glasgow senior centre – where the two men and three women were asked to reenact iconic press photographs of the 20th century.
Reenactment, reconstruction and recontextualisation have been pursued throughout the projects of the group. At times their work is a playful self-service set in the common grounds of contemporary memorabilia. It has reached back to 3000 B.C. and it reaches out to an aged future by incorporating utopian ideas: In Belgrade the artists have constructed the first full-scale piece of Vladimir Tatlin's Tower to the Third International.
Rachel Dagnall, Per Sander and Sirko Knüpfer will introduce some of the main themes of Henry VIII's Wives' collective practice and look into notions of shared authorship and context specific work along examples of their projects.

Jason Dodge
Wednesday, 5 December, 19h, Daimlerstrasse 32
Der Vortrag findet in englischer Sprache statt.
Die Daimlerstrasse erreichen Sie u.a. mit der Straßenbahnlinie 11.
The works of Jason Dodge reference events that lie in the past or at an unreachable distance, events that occurred in discrete privacy or were so transient that they could not be captured. And yet they are precisely described by the objects left behind after their completion and by Dodge’s clearly-formulated titles. Dodge’s installations give rise to a feeling of longing; when viewing them, one must always consider what they lack. In no time at all, the viewer’s thoughts will lead to a distant place – a sunrise in Helsinki, for example, or Kerkenstraat in Merkelbeek or a Polish holiday home. As relics, the objects of his installations seem to yearn for the completion that only the viewer can accomplish in his own thoughts.
Jason Dodge lives and works in Berlin and New York. Recently he had an solo exhibition at Yvon Lambert Paris, last time in Frankfurt he was a participant of the group exhibition “Parallel Life” in Frankfurter Kunstverein.
the Architecture Class presents:
Designed Materiality - Public Lecture Series Winter Semester 2007-8
a series of lectures addressing the contemporary status of architecture in relation to material and design technologies.
Fabio Gramazio & Matthias Kohler: Digital Materiality
Thursday, 6 December, 19h, Portikus, Alte Brücke 2 / Maininsel
Alle Veranstaltungen der Architekturklasse finden in englischer Sprache statt.
Architects Fabio Gramazio and Matthias Kohler are based in Zürich where they run their practice and teach at the ETH. Their principal interest lies in ‘digital fabrication,’ which includes using computerised processes to inform the making and transformation of materials for architectural ends. At the ETH, this comprises their having developed robotic manufacturing processes which have been employed in a number of recent projects.
For instance, of perforation, Gramazio and Kohler write: "Perforation is the name given to the multiple puncturing of flat surfaces or hollow bodies. The decisive factors are the arrangement, form, size and quantity of the holes. If the perforation is drilled crookedly rather than vertically into the material, it acquires a spatial effect."
Recent projects of the practice are Weingut Gantenbein, Fläsch (2006) and the Pavillon Seroussi, Paris (competition entry, 2007).
The Städelschule Architecture Class Lecture Series is supported by the Architekten- und Stadtplanerkammer Hessen.

DIETMAR DATH / CLAIRE FONTAINE / AXEL KILIAN
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
Dietmar Dath: "The Blue British Police Box considered as a Work of Art"
Tuesday, 27 November, 19h, Aula
Der Vortrag findet in englischer Sprache statt.
"The further in you go, the bigger it gets." Most of us heard about this phenomenon through a long tradition in fiction, e.g. Alice in Wonderland. Dietmar Dath will introduce these topics and offer answers as well as questions about how it relates to contemporary art.
Dietmar Dath is publishing since 1999 journalistic and literary, satricial and essayistic articles in national/international newspapers and magazines, amongst others in SPEX, JUNGLE WORLD, DE:BUG, TEXT UND KUNST and FRIEZE (UK). He spans a wide spectrum of subjects ranging from political aspects of youth and pop culture (Heavy Metal, drug politics, cinema), science critique (nanotechnologies, computer sciences, bio- and reproduction technologies) to articles about significant, yet underrated figures of the humanities of the 20th century (e.g. the architect R. Buckminster Fuller, the logician and metamathematician Gotthard Günther, the composer George Antheil, the author Ayn Rand...). His recent book releases are "Heute keine Konferenz. Texte für die Zeitung" and "Waffenwetter" (Suhrkamp Verlag). Dietmar Dath works as an author and was quite recently editor of Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.
Claire Fontaine
Wednesday, 28 November, 19h Aula
Der Vortrag findet in englischer Sprache statt.
Claire Fontaine is a Paris-based collective, founded in 2004. After lifting her name from a popular brand of school notebooks, Claire Fontaine declared herself a “readymade artist” and began to elaborate a version of neo-conceptual art that often looks like other people’s work. Working in neon, video, sculpture, painting and text, her practice can be described as an ongoing interrogation of the political impotence and the crisis of singularity that seem to define contemporary art today. But if the artist herself is the subjective equivalent of a urinal or a Brillo box – as displaced, deprived of its use value, and exchangeable as the products she makes – there is always the possibility of what she calls the “human strike.” Only two years old, Claire Fontaine uses her freshness and youth to make herself a whatever-singularity and an existential terrorist in search of subjective emancipation. She grows up among the ruins of the notion of authorship, experimenting with collective protocols of production, détournements, and the production of various devices for the sharing of intellectual and private property. Last time in Frankfurt their work could be seen in ANONYM, In the Future no one will be famous, Schirn Kunsthalle in 2006 and recently at the Istanbul Biennial.

Axel Kilian: Design Explorations
Thursday, 29 November, 19h, Aula
Alle Veranstaltungen der Architekturklasse finden in englischer Sprache statt.
Axel Kilian is another of the leading, young figures in architecture exploring the limits and possibilities of computational design techniques. These techniques, which are partly based on an automatization of the design procedure through computerised processes, are paradoxically closely linked to material conditions.
Kilian studied architecture at the University of the Arts in Berlin and went on to the MIT in Boston on a Fulbright scholarship. At MIT he first received an MA with the thesis “Defining Digital Space through a Visual Language” before taking his Ph.D. with a thesis on “Design exploration using bidirectional constraints” (2006) and ending up in a Post Doctoral position.
His Ph.D. centered on design exploration in the context of architecture and design processes using computational processes, namely programming and parametric design in combination with fabrication. Recent projects range from architectural form finding applications, collaboration on concept car designs with the MIT Media Lab, to a number of full scale installations. Axel Kilian has taught and lectured in a number of schools worldwide. He has received numerous awards - also for his teaching, and is currently engaged at the TU Delft.

BEN VAN BERKEL & THE THEATER OF IMMANENCE
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
Ausstellung:
BEN VAN BERKEL & THE THEATER OF IMMANENCE
25. Nov 2007 - 13. Jan 2008
Eröffnung: 24. Nov 2007
15 Uhr Gesprächsrunde mit Ben van Berkel, Sanford Kwinter, Daniel Birnbaum & Peter Hagdahl
17 Uhr Vortrag von Sanford Kwinter
20 Uhr Eröffnung mit einer Live-Performance von Dani Gal & Achim Lengerer
PORTIKUS, Alte Brücke 2 Maininsel, 60594 Frankfurt am Main
Die Vorträge finden in englischer Sprache statt.
Es stehen nur begrenzt Sitzplätze zur Verfügung.
Ben van Berkel & the Theatre of Immanence ist eine Ausstellung, die sowohl künstlerische als auch architektonische Anteile aufweist und dabei das Ziel verfolgt, die unterschiedlichsten Medien in einer Gesamtinstallation zu vereinen. Kraft ihrer unterschiedlichen Elemente kann die Ausstellung sowohl als Bühne fungieren oder auch als ein Raum für Kommunikation: dies kann die Kommunikation zwischen den Besucher/innen und den ausgestellten Arbeiten betreffen, oder einfach die Kommunikation zwischen dem Virtuellen und dem Realen an sich. Während ihrer gesamten Ausstellungsdauer wird sie zum Austragungsort für verschiedene Veranstaltungen: Dies sind Vorträge, künstlerische Performances, Gesprächsrunden und Soundperformances.
Die architektonische Installation mit dem Titel The Thing wurde von Ben van Berkel, Professor an der Städelschule, gemeinsam mit Professor Johan Bettum und Luis Etchegorry entworfen. Die Frankfurter Designtechnologie-Gruppen MESO Web Scapes und MESO Digital Interiors haben hierzu eine ausgefeilte Lichtprojektion entwickelt, die sich auf der Oberfläche der Installation ausbreitet, sie mit bewegten Bildern dynamisiert und somit die Oberfläche der Installation aktiviert. Die Lichtprojektion mit dem Titel On Things Off Things On ist eine Fallstudie im Bereich der „erweiterten Architektur“. Es ist der Versuch, eine reaktive Oberfläche von außergewöhnlicher räumlicher Komplexität zu kreieren.
Die Installation The Thing besteht aus einer unteren und einer oberen Ebene. Die obere dient als eine Art Theaterforum, die untere als ein eher traditioneller Ausstellungsraum. Beide Ebenen werden durch eine räumliche, mit Öffnungen durchsetzte Oberfläche getrennt. Durch diese Öffnungen werden die beiden Bereiche visuell und akustisch miteinander verbunden. Innerhalb der Installation sind einige Werke von Künstler/innen und Architekt/innen zu sehen, die an dem einjährigen experimentellen Projekt der Architekturklasse der Städelschule (SAC) mit dem Titel the Space of Communication beteiligt waren. Dieses Projekt wurde auf großzügige Weise von der Deutschen Telekom unterstützt.
Die ausstellenden Teilnehmer/innen sind die Architekt/innen Asterios Agkathidis, Brennan Buck & Igor Kebel, Holger Hoffmann, Jonas Runberger, Gabi Schillig, sowie die Künstler/innen Florencia Colombo und Dani Gal.
Die Synthese der architektonischen Installation und der Lichtprojektionen wird im Internet mittels einer interaktiven Live-Übertragung unter http://journal03.staedelschule-onlinegroup.org zugänglich gemacht. Das Journal 3 ist das letzte von drei Internet-Journalen, die von der Projektgruppe hinter the Space of Communication veröffentlicht werden. Journal 3 wurde von MESO Web Scapes entwickelt.
Weitere Einzelheiten zum bisherigen Verlauf des Projekts the Space of Communication finden Sie unter: http://www.staedelschule-onlinegroup.org/
Das weitere Veranstaltungsprogramm finden Sie unter http://www.staedelschule-onlinegroup.org/

JOSEPHINE PRYDE / ACHIM MENGES
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
Josephine Pryde: Just What is Aura Anyway?
Wednesday, 21 November, 19h, Aula
Die Veranstaltung findet in englischer Sprache statt
"Her works are photographs; she is not a photographer but an artist who uses photography" Laura Mulvey on Cindy Sherman, 1991
Josephine Pryde lives and works in London and one of her first longer stays in Germany were half a year at Hochschule der Künste, Berlin during her studies. She makes exhibitions that attempt to display the conditions of their production. Her photographs and sculptures reactivate techniques and concepts from a variety of sources, e.g. the photographs are altered often by darkroom manipulations. Recent exhibitions were Various Small Fires at the Royal College of Art Galleries, London and Hollow Inside, Galerie Neu in Berlin.
She is Guest Professor for Art and Photography at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste, Wien and also teaches at Hochschule der Bildenden Künste, Braunschweig.
the Architecture Class presents:
Designed Materiality - Public Lecture Series Winter Semester 2007-8
a series of lectures addressing the contemporary status of architecture in relation to material and design technologies.
Achim Menges: Computational Form and Material Gestalt
Thursday, 22 November, 19h, Aula
Alle Veranstaltungen der Architekturklasse finden in englischer Sprache statt.
Since graduating from the Architectural Association in 2002, Achim Menges has emerged as one of the leading protagonists on the international architectural scene with respect to computerised form generation and material systems. He engages with research on ‘the development of integral design processes at the intersection of evolutionary computation, parametric design, biomimetic engineering and computer aided manufacturing that enable a highly articulated, performative built environment.’ This means that Menges works with semi-automated, computer-based design processes that to a high degree rely on the dynamics of material and natural systems to generate architectural form.
His publications include “Morpho-Ecologies” ( AA Publications, London, 2006) and the three AD Wiley Academy issues “Emergence - Morphogenetic Design Strategies” (London, 2004), “Techniques and Technologies in Morphogenetic Design” (London, 2006) and “Versatility and Vicissitude: Performance in Morpho-Ecological Design” (to be published 2008).
Menges is currently a professor at HfG Offenbach and teaches at the Architectural Association in London in the ‘Emergent Technologies’ programme. He is partner in OCEAN NORTH and ‘the Emergence and Design Group.’

CHRISTA NÄHER / WOLFGANG WINKLER / KUNST LEHREN / FRANK SIDEBOTTOM
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
Christa Näher: zu Pasolini II
Montag, 12 November, 19 Uhr, Aula
Im Sommersemester 2007 fand bereits ein gleichnamiger Vortrag statt. Dem damaligen Publikum war es ein Anliegen, das Thema nochmalig zu vertiefen. Diesem Wunsch kommt Prof. Christa Näher nun mit dem zweiten Teil nach.
Pier Paolo Pasolini (Autor, Filmemacher)
Nach einer sehr schwierigen Jugend, einem nur mäßig erfolgreichen politischen Engagement und der Beschäftigung als Pädagoge beginnt Pasolini 1961 sein filmisches Schaffen mit dem Film "Accatone". 1963 gelingt ihm mit „La Ricotta“ ein Durchbruch, der aber lange Prozesse und schließlich ein Verurteilung Pasolinis nach sich zieht. 1975 wird Pasolinis verstümmelte Leiche in der Nähe der italienischen Hafenstadt Ostia gefunden. Die wahren Umstände der Tat sind bis heute ungeklärt.
Der Zerstörung der Kultur des Einzelnen durch die Konsumgesellschaft gilt das Interesse des Vortrags.
Wolfgang Winkler: Die Kunst im Zeitalter ihrer Globalisierung
Dienstag, 13. November, 19 Uhr, Aula
War der idealistische Anspruch der Künste auf Universalität durch die Avantgarde-Bewegungen des 20. Jahrhunderts in Luft aufgelöst worden, so scheint er nun im Zuge eines umfassenden Globalisierungsprozesses als Gespenst wiederzukehren.
1. Gibt es Interessen von global-gesellschaftlichen Kräften, kulturelle ‚Begeisterung’ für längst verwehte Gerüchte zu erwecken?
2. Falls die Rede von der „sich globalisierenden Kunst“ nicht bloße Propaganda für Globalisierung ist, so stellt sich die Frage: Auf welchen kleinsten gemeinsamen Nenner muß die Kunst reduziert werden, damit sie global - d.h. in jedem kulturellen Kontext - als Kunst anerkannt wird?
Wolfgang Winkler studierte Ethnologie und Philosophie. Er lebt und arbeitet in Berlin als Kunsttheoretiker und selbstständiger Psychotherapeut.
Buchpräsentation
Kunst Lehren – Teaching Art
Mittwoch, 14. November, 18:30 Uhr,
Buchhandlung Walther König
Domstr. 6, 60311 Frankfurt am Main
Gemeinsam mit dem Verlag Walther König veranstaltet die Städelschule eine kleine Präsentation der neuen Städelschul-Publikation Kunst lehren, zu der zahlreiche an der Publikation beteiligte Künstler und Kunsttheoretiker wie Thomas Bayrle , Wolfgang Tillmans, Tobias Rehberger und Isabelle Graw zu einem zwanglosen Gespräch geladen sind.
Frank Sidebottom
Thursday, 15th November, 19 h, Aula
Die Veranstaltung findet in englische Sprache statt.
Frank Sidebottom - the Bard of Timperley - is centre of his world. His adventures take him from the outskirts to Manchester to outer space, though his mind never ventures far from the parochial concerns of the quality of freebies that arrive with his junk mail or how many coppers he can diddle his mum out of in her weekly shop.
Sidebottom combines fine art and comedy. As a comedian he finds humour in everyday details, honing in on the sometimes lonely lives of a few made up individuals who befriend, depend on, use, and irritate one another. He is also a prolific animator and visual artist. Frank is well known to the british audience on the one hand through his TV-shows and broadcasts e.g. on BBC Radio, on the other for his performances and screenings lately at the Tate Britain and an exhibition in Chelsea Art Gallery, London.

MICHAEL BEUTLER
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
Lecture:
Michael Beutler: Portikus Castle
Tuesday, 23rd October, 19 h, Aula
Die Veranstaltung findet in englische Sprache statt.
For the Portikus Michael Beutler has developed one of his largest and most ambitious works to date. Beutler's approach is determinedly experimental. He appropriates the formability and potential uses of different materials and then links them with the given or chosen spatial settings. He is interested in serial production and the functional aspect of building materials, but he usually goes against their original purpose, working out alternative uses for them and developing unintended processing methods. To this end, he devises and constructs his own apparatus and machinery, which he then uses to work on the material as if in an industrial production process. In technical terms, however, Beutler prefers not to get too complex, always sticking to simple mechanical methods so that the formal processing of the material remains easy to identify.
The exhibition in Portikus can be visited till 4th November.

"A BOHEMIAN LOBOTOMY“
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
Performance Lecture
"A BOHEMIAN LOBOTOMY“
Mittwoch, 27 Juni, 19 Uhr, Halle
Video und Performance von und mit "K2 Aufbau Organisation".
KünstlerInnen der Klasse Stephan Dillemuth
Zum Rahmenprogramm der letzten Frieze Kunstmesse (2006) hat der Filmkurator Ian White ein Programm zusammengestellt, das sich mit experimentellem Kino und „expanded cinema“ auseinandersetzt. K2 Aufbau Organisation, ein loser Zusammenschluss Münchener Künstlerinnen und Künstler, hat für diese Einladung verschiedene Formate, Interviewsequenzen, Dokumentarmaterial und Dokumente eigener Inszenierungen mit Live-Performance-Einlagen kombiniert und unter dem Titel Bohemian Lobotomy zur Aufführung gebracht. Damit ist K2 Aufbau Organisation nun auf Tour, mit einem Zwischenhalt in der Galerie für Landschaftskunst.
Bohemian Lobotomy untersucht „the impact of lifestyle as the new ideology of self-fulfilment“ vor dem Hintergrund der Münchener Boheme am Anfang des 20. Jahrhundert, die uns nicht nur mit „Fin de siecle“ und Blauer Reiter beglückte, sondern auch friedlich eine Räterepublik durchsetzte.

ART AND COMMUNISM: K. STAKEMEIER, K. DIEFENBACH & CHTO DELAT?
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
A student organized discussion event on terms and prospects of artistic practice based on investigations on the past and presence of art and communism.
Art and Communism
Monday, 18 June, 19 h, Aula
Die Veranstaltung findet in englischer Sprache statt.
Kerstin Stakemeier:
"Revolution out of Art - Productivism and Polytechnics"
Kerstin Stakemeier is an author, teacher and curator. Together with Nina Köller she currently curates the exhibition-project “Space of Actualisation Hamburg”. She teaches at Bauhaus University in Weimar.
She will focus on productivist art, in order to investigate on the figure of the polytechnic producer in the context of the Russian revolution of the 1920s as well as in the presence.
Katja Diefenbach:
"Politics of Bohemia - On the Difference between distinguished
Subjectivity and Whatever Singularity"
Katja Diefenbach is an author, teacher and cofounder of the bookstore-collective B_Books Berlin. Currently she teaches at the Jan van Eyck Academy in Maastricht.
She will give a short historical genealogy to depict the conceptions of a politics of bohemia and creative activity in order to formulate a critique of both, the unification of art and life and the idea of a sensual fulfillment of the human being by aesthetic activity. Point of departure is the reemergence of the notion of bohemia in the 1990s political art scene in Germany.
Dimitry Vilensky ('Chto delat?'):
"Temporary Art Soviet"
Founded in early 2003 in Petersburg, the platform Chto delat? / What is to be done? is a space between theory, art, and political activism. The platform's work is coordinated by a workgroup of the same name: members include artists, critics, philosophers, and writers from Petersburg, Moscow, and Nizhny Novgorod.
'Chto delat?' hopes to spark a dialogue of different positions about the politicization of knowledge production and about the place of art and poetics in this process, triggering collaborative initiatives in the form of "temporary art soviets" which are involved in the making of different cultural projects.

MAX BECKMANN PROFESSOR 2007: LUC TUYMANS
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
Luc Tuymans: „I don’t get it“
Sonntag, 3. Juni, 12.00 Uhr: „Arbeit und Praxis“
Montag, 4. Juni, 19.00 Uhr: „Kunstkritik und Institution“
Dienstag, 5. Juni, 19.00 Uhr: „Kunstmarkt und Event“
Städel Museum, Metzler-Saal
Vorträge in deutscher Sprache
Luc Tuymans hat der figurativen Malerei in den letzten Jahren entscheidende Impulse verliehen. In seinen Bildern setzt er sich mit historischen, politischen und religiösen Themen auseinander. Auftritte bei der Biennale in Venedig 2001, der Documenta IX und XI so wie Werkschauen in London und Düsseldorf trugen zur großen Öffentlichkeit bei. In einem kritischen Gespräch möchte Luc Tuymans über die Erfahrungen berichten. Durchaus skeptisch will er die Rolle der Kunstkritik beleuchten, Kultursubventionen und Ausstellungspolitik und die Einflussnahme der Kuratoren aus seinem Blickwinkel darstellen.
Der Maler Luc Tuymans (*1958 Mortsel, Belgien) wird in diesem Jahr zum Stiftungsprofessor des Städel Museums und der Städelschule berufen und tritt damit die Nachfolge des südafrikanischen Künstlers William Kentridge an, an den die Professur erstmals vergeben wurde. Die Stiftung des Städelschen Kunstinstituts ist durch den Stiftungsbrief des Gründers Johann Friedrich Städel von 1815 der Idee verpflichtet, eine öffentlich zugängliche Kunstsammlung mit einer Ausbildungsstätte für junge Künstler zu verbinden. Die 2005 ins Leben gerufene Max Beckmann-Stiftungsprofessur soll diese ursprüngliche Gemeinsamkeit von Sammlung und Lehre, die im Laufe der Zeit durch die Trennung von Museum und Schule in den Hintergrund gerückt ist, neu beleben und neue Synergien zwischen den beiden Institutionen schaffen.
Die Max Beckmann-Stiftungsprofessur wird durch die Unterstützung der ALTANA AG ermöglicht.

Thomas Hirschhorn
Wednesday, 30 May, 19 h, Aula
Die Veranstaltung findet in englischer Sprache statt.
Thomas Hirschhorn plugs himself into the communicative potential of thought discontent with the enforced definitions and limitations of a hyper- capitalist, multinational rhetoric of globalization. Neglecting material worth, his work encompasses diverse sculptural models in an impoverished taste for the product wrappings of consumer industry – aluminum foil, plastic, cardboard and plywood – suspending capitalist desires in a state of constant creative anarchy. In Portikus he exhibited "Ein Kunstwerk, ein Problem" in 1998. With this work, Hirschhorn wanted to give new topicality to a phrase by Robert Walser: "Questions of life are questions of art, and questions of art are questions of life". At the moment his work can be seen in the solo exhibition Stand-alone in Berlin, and Swiss made in Wolfsburg.

Thursday, 31 May, 19h, Aula
Alle Veranstaltungen der Architekturklasse finden in englischer Sprache statt.
Nowadays designing a museum requires the realization that all, mission, structure, audience and environment of this cultural institution have dramatically changed over the last decades. The museum is not only catering to a multitude of interest groups that are completely diverse in their expectations but it is also an institution on an educational mission that goes way beyond its own four walls. Only with an idea of the status quo as well as the direction towards which museums are navigating one can properly tackle the task of developing an adequate solution for the architectural design of this institution.

The lecture by Thomas Hirschhorn had to be postponed to Wednesday, 30 May.

Bonnie Camplin & Paulina Olowska
Wednesday, 23 May, 19 h, Aula
Die Veranstaltung findet in englischer Sprache statt.
Although Camplin and Olowska work in different mediums and come from different cultural backgrounds, they both continually drawn attention to neglected female protagonists in their drawings, paintings, collages, performances, installations and videos. What is less noted, however, is that their attention to the fantasy of the modern woman reworks as many tenets of feminist critique as it upholds. The presentation will focus on individual selected works of each artist.
Paulina Olowska will discuss projects such as Sie musste die Idee eines Hauses als Metapher verwerfen (She had to reject the idea of a house as a metaphor, 2004) were she produced a series of portraits of formidable figures like Virginia Woolf, Vanessa Bell, Charlotte Perriand and Nina Hamnett, and Hello to you too 2006, a show devoted to the figure of a British pop artist Pauline Boty. Bonnie Camplin will present Colonial Fanny and Get me a Mirror- her recent videos.
There will also screen A like Akarova a new collaborative film that will be premiered In Brussels, and discuss there upcoming joint project in Porticus Salty Water and what of Salty Water which opens on Friday, 25 May 2007.
the Architecture Class and Städelschule Fine Arts presents:
SYMPOSIUM:
THE NEW ‘MUSEUM’?
Thursday, 24 May, 17 h, Hall
Alle Veranstaltungen der Architekturklasse finden in englischer Sprache statt.
With the steadily increasing pressure of information flow and capital, the status and role of the contemporary museum within the arts as well as other fields are continuously challenged. In the arts, fairs are emerging as ubiquitous events to inject market interest and social flair. The Guggenheim and the Louvre have become export items. Museums at large are prompted to devise new, specific strategies for the dissemination to and entertainment of visitors via the Internet.
Does the museum as an institution, as it emerged over the last couple of centuries, still hold relevance, or should the arts and other fields look elsewhere to formulate a vital form to present previous periods’ collectibles and tomorrow’s cultural gems? And for this ‘elsewhere,’ is the emerging and ever more popular art fair a good model, its current architectural typology as inspiring as your average sitcom?
These and other questions are what will be addressed in the symposium, The New ‘Museum’?, which the Städelschule hosts in order to address one of the more difficult and interesting set of questions that our culture is facing.
Lecturers are:
Emily King, Frieze Magazine
Ben van Berkel, UNStudio / Städelschule
Nicolas V. Iljine, Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation
HG Merz, architect
Volker Rattemeyer, Director Museum Wiesbaden
Peter Cachola Schmal, Director German Architecture Museum DAM

DR. NEIL MULHOLLAND
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
Dr. Neil Mulholland: 'Parallel Lines'
Wednesday, 16 May, 19 h Aula
Die Veranstaltung findet in englischer Sprache statt.
David Carrier's term 'artwriting' has re-entered Anglophone art criticism in recent years in a way that signals a conservative backlash against his observations. 'Artwriting' is often, inexplicably, used in the derogatory sense, as a means of registering the chagrin of many critics who perceive a 'crisis' in what they regard to be their 'discipline'. Rather than address this alleged crisis on these exhausted terms, I plan to discuss aspects of my own writing and related works as practices that aspire to transgress genres such as 'criticism', 'theory', 'curating' and art practice. I will examine the concept of the 'parallel text' and suggest how art-related writing might go beyond its normative tropes of advocacy, representation and critique by revisiting theories of mise en scene and metafiction.
Dr Neil Mulholland is a writer and Director of the Centre for Visual & Cultural Studies, Edinburgh College of Art.

The Guggenheim and the Louvre have become export items. Museums at large are prompted to devise new, specific strategies for the dissemination to and entertainment of visitors via the Internet. With these changes, is the museum as an institution for archival purposes and the mere reification of existing culture passé?
What role and whose interests will the museum of tomorrow serve? Does the very institution of the museum, as it emerged over the last couple of centuries, still hold relevance, or should the arts and other fields look elsewhere to formulate a vital form to present previous periods’ collectibles and tomorrow’s cultural gems?
The architecture of the museum is part of this condition. In form and organisation, does the architecture of the museum also need to renewal?

CHRISTA NÄHER
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
Christa Näher: zu Pasolini
Mittwoch, 9. Mai, 19 Uhr, Aula
„Die neue Form der Macht ist die Herrschaft von Konsum und Verschleiß; diesem letzten Ruin, diesem Ruin aller Ruine“ P. P. Pasolini
Pier Paolo Pasolini (Autor, Filmemacher)
* 1922 in Bologna, + 1975 Ostia
Vater Berufsoffizier, die Mutter Volksschullehrerin. Die Ehe der Eltern ist unglücklich und bindet Pasolini schicksalhaft an seine Mutter. 1942 erscheint sein erster Gedichtband in friaulischen Dialekt, zwei Jahre später gründet er die Akademie der friaulischen Sprache. Sein Bruder, der mit Partisanen kämpft, wird von Titos Anhängern 1945 umgebracht. Pasolini betreibt eine Privatschule mit seiner Mutter und tritt 1947 in die Kommunistische Partei ein, aus der er zwei Jahre später schon wieder ausgeschlossen wird. 1961 beginnt sein filmisches Schaffen mit dem Film "Accatone", er bereist ausgiebig die Dritte Welt. 1963 gelingt ihm mit „La Ricotta“ ein Durchbruch, der aber lange Prozesse und schließlich ein Verurteilung P. s nach sich zieht. 1975 wird Pasolinis verstümmelte Leiche in der Nähe der italienischen Hafenstadt Ostia gefunden. Die wahren Umstände der Tat sind bis heute ungeklärt.
Der Zerstörung der Kultur des Einzelnen durch die Konsumgesellschaft gilt das Interesse des Vortrags.

JAN VERWOERT / DANIEL BIRNBAUM / HASWELL & HECKER
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
Jan Verwoert: Ways to Inaugurate the Pleasurdome
Wednesday, 2nd May, 19 h, Aula
Die Veranstaltung findet in englischer Sprache statt.
Social bonds are forged through techniques of keeping and sharing secrets, coded ways and intricate choreographies of shaking hands, exchanging words and looks, learning to dress and speak in certain ways and not others, to perform rituals that summon certain spiritis, not others. These techniques are a matter of practice as much as they involve the imagination. So images do play their role in the constitutive moment when a society is inaugurated.
Does the inauguration of and initiation into a community always imply a moment of violence and the affirmation of a hierarchial power structure? Or can there be practices and images that renounce this violence and thus generate powerless structures of communal conviviality? How could a community be imagined that is not a sect defined through the exclusion of a constitutive other or a fraternity based on the codex of male bonding?
Jan Verwoert is freelancer and art critique, lives in Berlin, contributing editor for frieze magazine and writes among others for Metropolis M, Afterall and Piktogram. He is teaching fine art in Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam. His recent book is "Bas Jan Ader: In Search of the Miraculous", 2006.
the Architecture Class presents:
The New Museum?
a series of lectures and events addressing the contemporary status of the museum as a cultural institution and architectural type.
Prof.Dr. Daniel Birnbaum, Rector of Städelschule: Installing Time. The Museum in the age of moving images.
Thursday, 3rd May, 19 h, Aula
Alle Veranstaltungen der Architekturklasse finden in englischer Sprache statt.
In the Summer Semester 2007, The Architecture Class invites to a series of lectures and events focusing on the role of the contemporary museum in our culture. The lectures and events accompany ongoing work in the Architectural Class for a series of museum proposals for the Rhein-Main region in Germany.
With the steadily increasing pressure of information flow and capital, the status and role of the contemporary museum within the arts as well as other fields are continuously challenged. In the arts, fairs - whose current architectural typology is as inspiring as your average sitcom - are emerging as ubiquitous events that inject market interest and social flair into the field. The Guggenheim and the Louvre have become export items. Museums at large are prompted to devise new, specific strategies for the dissemination to and entertainment of visitors via the Internet. With these changes, is the museum as an institution for archival purposes and the mere reification of existing culture passé?
What role and whose interests will the museum of tomorrow serve? Does the very institution of the museum, as it emerged over the last couple of centuries, still hold relevance, or should the arts and other fields look elsewhere to formulate a vital form to present previous periods’ collectibles and tomorrow’s cultural gems?
The architecture of the museum is part of this condition. In form and organization, does the architecture of the museum also need to renewal?
The Städelschule Architecture Class Lecture Series is supported by the Architekten- und Stadtplanerkammer Hessen.

LUC BOLTANSKI / STEPHAN DIETRICH
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
Symposium
Unter Druck – Under pressure
3rd Part: The New Spirit of Capitalism
Lecture: Luc Boltanski: „The New Spirit of Capitalism"
Response: Isabelle Graw and Sighard Neckel
Tuesday, 6th February, 18 h, Aula
Die Veranstaltung findet in englischer Sprache statt.
This conference started from the premise, that cultural producers are currently more immediately exposed to external pressures. In a situation that has been acutely described as the spectacular phase of capitalism, retreat seems hardly an option. In their book "The New Spirit of Capitalism" Ève Chiapello and Luc Boltanski proposed their notion of a "project-based Polis" which is characterised by unpredictable futures, short-term engagements and a lack of security. This leads to a situation - well known in the art world - in which flexibility, contacts and information are absolute must-haves. Boltanski and Chiapello put the emphasis on what they define as "artist critique" and we will discuss it´s potential. As a possible scenario faced with this "New Spirit of Capitalism" they have proposed the insistance on "status" and "long term engagements". These options will be debated during the third section of our conference "under Pressure" following Boltanski ´s lecture on "The present left and the longing for revolution.
Luc Boltanski is the leading figure in the new "pragmatics" school of French sociology. He is a professor at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, Paris and is the founder of the Centre de Sociologie Politique et Morale.
A conference in three parts, organized by the ‘Institut für Kunstkritik’ (Institute for Art Criticism in co-operation with the ‘Institut für Sozialforschung’ (Institute for Social Research).
the Architecture Class presents:

PROF. IGNACE VERPOEST
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
the Architecture Class presents:
Prof. Ignace Verpoest, MTM, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven: [ Composite Materials - A Change in Paradigm ]
Thursday, 1st February, 19h, Aula
Alle Veranstaltungen der Architekturklasse finden in englischer Sprache statt.
Prof. Ignace Verpoest is head of the Department of Metallurgy and Materials Engineering at the Katholieke Universiteit in Leuven, Belgium. Their research in polymer matrix composites started in 1982. During the first, exploratory years, many different research topics were covered, but gradually, the attention has been focused on certain main areas. In all of these areas, development of predictive models has become crucial. Skilled technicians develop and optimise sophisticated processing and testing equipment. The department´s interest focusses on textile based composites and textiles and their analysis of internal geometry and resulting properties, furthermore on the development of simulation software for processing and property optimization. Other fields of interest are related to innovate processing methods for thermoplastic composites and further improvement of the "green" nature of composites: the use of natural fibres, life cycle analysis and recycling.
The Städelschule Architecture Class Lecture Series is supported by the Architekten- und Stadtplanerkammer Hessen.
Hinweis: Der für den 7.2.2007 vorgesehene Vortrag "Zu Pasolini" von Prof. Christa Näher kann leider nicht stattfinden, wird jedoch im Sommersemester nachgeholt.

MIKE NELSON / ADRIAAN BEUKERS
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
Mike Nelson
Wednesday, 24th January, 19h, Aula
Die Veranstaltung findet in englischer Sprache statt.
Mike Nelson creates large-scale architectural installations, transforming existing spaces with meticulous constructions made from found objects. He fuses an encyclopedic range of references into three-dimensional narratives. By littering his works with pertinent objects, he aims to provoke viewers into questioning their individual standpoints; he relies on the viewer's involvement to continue or complete the scene. Only the fully mental and physical involvement with the installation offers all perspectives to the audience - an sculptural all-over-experience.
Mike Nelson lives and works in London and Edinburgh. In 2001 he was shortlisted for the Turner Prize 2001, for the 'haunting resonance of his architectural installations,' as seen in his contributions to the British Art Show and Another Place, a National Touring Exhibition. He is amongst others research fellow at the College of Art Edinburgh and Lecturer at the CCA and RCA in London.
the Architecture Class presents:
Prof. Adriaan Beukers, Faculty Aerospace Engineering, TU Delft: [ The Spirit Of Lightness ]
Thursday, 25th January, 19h, Aula
Alle Veranstaltungen der Architekturklasse finden in englischer Sprache statt.
Professor Adriaan Beukers is responsible for the research and development of lightweight structures at TU Delft's Aerospace Engineering Faculty. Beukers' passion for innovation inspired him to co-author two books with Ed van Hinte on the subject of composite materials. This is a specialist area in which Beukers truly excels, having been a consultant to both designers and architects. Both of Beukers' books, 'Lightness', and his most recent book, 'Flying Lightness', explore the possibilities of how composite materials can help reduce our impact on the environment.
Beukers is focused on fighting to change the way the Western world uses energy, materials and cheap labour, without considering the consequences. "Lightness," he exclaims, "can help us in achieving more energy efficiency. We currently have an unbalanced ratio, and we're heading for climate change and other dire implications. If not altered, we'll end with the depletion of fossils fuel, and then we'll either have to change our transportation systems, stop them completely or change our mindset, as transport can be drastically improved." Beukers also works closely with his aerospace engineering students to find new solutions, such as a new and safer Liquified Petroleum Gas canister for automobiles, or a small composite pillow bag that when inflated with air can raise a weight of up to 131 tons. This solution is widely used in emergencies, such as after an earthquake or a terrorist attack that collapses buildings.

PETRA BLAISSE
the Architecture Class presents:
Petra Blaisse, Designer (Inside Outside, Amsterdam): [ Shifting Positions ]
Thursday, 18th January, 19h, Aula
Alle Veranstaltungen der Architekturklasse finden in englischer Sprache statt.
Dutch designer Petra Blaisse works in a multitude of creative areas, including textile, landscape and exhibition design. She founded Inside Outside in Amsterdam in 1991. Inside Outside specializes in the rare combination of both interior and exterior design, interweaving architecture and landscape. Blaisse first gained international acclaim for her innovative exhibition-installations in the eighties and nineties, her golden theatre curtain for the Nederlands Dans Theater, her vast curtains and poured floors for Lille Grand Palais in France and her spiralling 'sound curtain' for the Kunsthal in Rotterdam.
In the landscape field appreciation grew between 1990 and 2000 when Blaisse worked on the Museumpark in Rotterdam ('92) with French landscape architect Yves Brunier, designed a 'Connective Landscape' for an area in the city of Seoul ('97) (with architects Jean Nouvel, Mario Botta, Terry Farrel and OMA), the Universal Headquarters gardens in Los Angeles (OMA).
