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.
