Jacques Rancière: The Politics of Images
Wednesday, 7 January, 19h, Aula
Die Veranstaltungen findet in englischer Sprache statt.
“After the reign of the spectacle, the death of the image and an ethics of the non-representable have each been proclaimed, it seems timely to rethink the consistency of the image and the forms of its efficiency.”
Jacques Rancière
Jacques Rancière (born Algiers, 1940) is a French philosopher and Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at the University of Paris VIII (St. Denis) where he taught from 1969 to 2000. He came first to prominence when he co-authored "Reading Capital" (1968) with the Marxist philosopher and his mentor Louis Althusser, with whom he later split over the proper response to the student revolt of May 1968. Today, Rancière is most well known for his writings on emancipatory politics, aesthetics and the relationship between aesthetics and politics. He also writes extensively on cinema. His recent publications in german are Zehn Thesen zur Politik (diaphanes 2008) and Ist Kunst widerständig? (Merve 2008).

JUDITH HOPF / PHILIPPE RAHM
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
Judith Hopf: Doors - Count
Wednesday, 17 December, 19h, Aula
Die Veranstaltungen findet in englischer Sprache statt.
Judith Hopf takes the Portikus exhibition "Türen" (2007 in collaboration with Henrik Olesen) as an starting point of her lecture to exemplify further and recent projects and works.
Doors showed a collaborative project developed by Judith Hopf and Henrik Olesen. Doors offered passageways, entrances and exits, detours and cul-de-sacs, and repeatedly asked the viewer to come to a new decision. The different possibilities of action - opening doors, moving (backward) in space - engender new spatial constellations. They affect what is behind, what remains initially hidden from view, and necessitate unforeseen changes in direction and sidestepping gestures. This sculptural space, conceived as a model and designed in the manner of a stage setting, at once also presents an exaggerated delineation of social patterns, in which limitations, compulsions, contradictions and strictures, but also possibilities for decisions emerge into view. In a similar manner, Judith Hopf and Henrik Olesen also approached the subject of spatial and personal demarcation by means of film.
The new Film of Jdith Hopf, Zählen! (Count!) is about the unusual story of Wilhelm Von Osten, a Berlin high school mathematics teacher, phrenologist, showman and mystic. At the beginning of the twentieth century, working from Darwinian postulates, Von Osten successfully managed to train his horse Hans in elementary arithmetic. The horse quickly became a sensation, making the front cover of The New York Times and prompting the German board of eduction to convene a 13-man board of inquiry. The Hans Commission reported back in 1907. Analyzing the Hans’ arithmetical acumen in terms of what would henceforth be called the ‘Clever Hans effect’, the commission concluded that the horse’s true acuity lay in the realms of psychology. Zählen! is her most recent exhibition in the Gallery Croy Nielsen, Berlin, which ended last week.
Judith Hopf is professor for Fine Art at Städelschule.
The Architecture Class presents:
The Pavilion: Interim Passage and Polemics in Art & Architecture - Public Lecture Series Winter Semester 2008-9
- a series of public lectures that address the pavilion as typology and idea in relation to architecture and the arts.
Philippe Rahm: Meteorological Architecture
Thursday, 18 December, 19h, Aula
Alle Veranstaltungen der Architekturklasse finden in englischer Sprache statt.
Philippe Rahm´s lecture at the Städelschule investigates the concept of architecture as a physiological environment. Dealing with physiological and often invisible aspects of space the Paris-based architect raises the possibility that climate can replace the typology, function and form of what we use and define as architecture.
Philippe Rahm´s work has been shown in numerous exhibitions such as the Swiss Pavilion at the 8th Architecture Biennale in Venice and "Digestible Gulf Stream" at Architectural Venice Biennale 2008, San Francisco MoMA (2001), Museum of Modern Art in Paris (2001), Tirana Biennial 2001, "Form & function follow climate“ at CCA Kitakyushu (2004), Mori Art Museum (Tokyo, 2005), Centre Pompidou (2003-2007 and Manifesta 7. He has held academic positions at the Architectural Association in London, at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Beaux-Arts of Paris (2003), Mendrisio Academy of Architecture (2005/06) and at the ETH Lausanne (2006/07). He is a professor at the ECAL Lausanne and teaches at the School of Architecture of Paris-Malaquais in Paris. He has published „Physiological Architecture“ (Birkhäuser) and is currently working on several projects such as the „Winter House“ for Fabrice Hybert in France and the „Second summer“ in Austria.

Nikolaus Hirsch: Exquisite Corps
Thursday, 11 December, 19h, Aula
Alle Veranstaltungen der Architekturklasse finden in englischer Sprache statt.
In his lecture at the Städelschule Nikolaus Hirsch contributes to the discussion pavilions in light of some of his most recent projects. Referring to "Exquisite Corpse", a growing institutional model for the European Kunsthalle (Showroom London, 2008), and the "Cybermohalla Hub" at Manifesta 7 (Bolzano, 2008), he questions the relationship between stable and unstable spatial configurations
Nikolaus Hirsch is a Frankfurt-based architect and guest professor at Städelschule who has hold academic positions at the Architectural Association in London, at the Institute of Applied Theater Studies at Giessen University, and at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. His work includes the award-winning Dresden Synagogue, the Hinzert Document Center, and numerous exhibition architectures such as “Making Things Public” at the ZKM (curated by Bruno Latour and Peter Weibel), “Frequencies-Hz” at Schirn Kunsthalle and "Indian Highway" (Serpentine Gallery, 2008). Hirsch´s ongoing research in institutional models has resulted in projects such as the Bockenheimer Depot Theater (with William Forsythe), Unitednationsplaza in Berlin (with Anton Vidokle), European Kunsthalle, Cybermohalla Hub in Delhi and currently a studio structure for Rirkrit Tiravanija´s “The Land”.

Tobias Rehberger: Halbe, viertel und ganze Eier
Thursday, 4 December, 19h, Aula
Alle Veranstaltungen der Architekturklasse finden in englischer Sprache statt.
Tobias Rehberger, Städelschule graduate and art professor since 2001, produces work of great artistic complexity and intimacy with design. The production flirts with the contemporary status of objects, space, commodification and innovation. Yet, for all its extravagance, humor and disciplinary ambiguity, Rehberger's work reflects his own clear identification as an artist. As he has put it, the work emerges from a paradigm of art - that is, the thinking and production of an artist. When the work is at its most potent in terms of design and spatial implications (such as in Private Matters (Whitechapel, London, 2004), On Otto (Fondazione Prada, Milan, 2007) and The-Chicken-and-Egg-No-Problem Wall Painting, (Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, 2008)), Rehberger seems to insist on a resistance to the most immanent interpretation of his own work.
Hence, Rehberger's art is probably less about "chance connections" than it is about a carefully calculated play of contradictions, paradoxes and conflicts. It is probably less about "unexpected encounters" than it is about a spatial scenography revolving around disciplinary and productive tension.
To a discussion about architecture, art and the typology of the pavilion, Tobias Rehberger brings ideas and a portfolio of work that bespeaks the disciplinary and typological strictures, yet suspend the same relative to an urgency of production.

EYAL WEIZMAN / WILL BRADLEY / BEN VAN BERKEL
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
Eyal Weizman: Future Archeology
Sunday, 23 November 19h, Aula
Die Veranstaltung findet in englischer Sprache statt.
In his lecture at the Städelschule Eyal Weizman investigates the conflicts and contradictions within contemporary spatial practice. Referring to his book "Hollow Land" and his most recent project "The Lesser Evil" he discusses the notion of political agency as one of the key questions of the current cultural debate.
London-based Eyal Weizman is one of the most prolific figures in the ongoing renegotiation of cultural agency. As the founder and director of the Centre for Research Architecture at Goldsmiths College in London he has initiated a „Roundtable“ that involves a variety of curators, architects and artists. Before this role, Weizman was Professor of Architecture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. His books include „A Civilian Occupation“ (Verso Books, 2003) and „Hollow Land“ (Verso Books, 2007. Weizman is a regular contributor to many journals and magazines and is an editor at large for Cabinet Magazine (New York). Weizman is the recipient of the James Stirling Memorial Lecture Prize for 2006-2007. As a curator he has co-organized „Territories“ (KW Berlin, 2003, with Anselm Franke). Most recently his work has been shown at Manifesta 7 and Brussels Biennial.
Will Bradley: What Are You Doing Here?: Art in the Place of Politics at OSRAM China Lighting Ltd.
Tuesday, 25 November, 19h, Aula
Die Veranstaltung findet in englischer Sprache statt.
Will Bradley´s lecture discusses the relationship between art and politics centred on the project “What are you doing here?” (2006), produced by the Siemens Art Program, in which 'the artist Cao Fei works with employees from OSRAM China Lighting to turn their individual ideas, hopes and expectations into art.' The talk will examine how this process worked, and discuss its implications.
Will Bradley is an Oslo-based critic and curator who is currently a guest professor at the Städelschule. He is researching social and economic experiments in contemporary art and has co-founded “The Modern Institute” in Glasgow that produces artists' projects and represents artists. He has co-edited “Self Organisation / Counter-Economic Strategies” (Lukas & Sternberg, 2006) and "Art and Social Change" (Tate, 2007). As a curated he has organized the exhibition "Radical Software" (CCA Wattis Institute, San Francisco 2006) and „Forms of Resistance“ (Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, 2007). He is currently working (with curator Cristina Ricupero) on „Manufacturing Today“, a polemical survey of alternatives and oppositions to the neo-liberal instrumentalisation of art and art education.

Ben van Berkel: Switching On & Off
Thursday, 27 November, 19h, Aula
Alle Veranstaltungen der Architekturklasse finden in englischer Sprache statt.
Ben van Berkel and UNStudio designed and developed over the years a series of pavilions with which they have explored specific themes in architecture. These themes have ranged from the problem of formal and geometric continuity, via circulation and time, to informed surface conditions.
According to Ben van Berkel small and temporary projects are often a great way to test new ideas, to advance themes that form part of longer-lasting preoccupations. ‘What we like to do is work in series. To us, each project is like a still from a film.’
For the Architecture Biennale 2008 in Venice, UNStudio produced the pavilion ‘The Changing Room’. The pavilion explores inside-outside relationships with a geometric organization that twists and folds into itself. As the continuous surfaces peel back and expose the interior, the visitors are confronted with a choreography that summons the intimacy of the changing room and weaves the public and private domains to one another.
Ben van Berkel is Dean of the Städelschule Architecture Class.

FRANCES STARK / TOMAS SARACENO
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
Frances Stark: The New Vision
Tuesday, 18 November, 19h, Aula
Bitte beachten Sie, dass diese Veranstaltung um einen Tag vorverlegt wurde.
Please note this lecture is rescheduled for one day earlier.
Die Veranstaltung findet in englischer Sprache statt.
Frances Stark’s (b. 1967, lives and works in Los Angeles) works arise mainly out of a complex system of references comprising texts and images. Thus the metaphorical significance and composition of the written word on the canvas or the paper form the starting point from which her collages and texts draw their creative sustenance. Equally important for her method of working are visual templates from the world of art; they can be derived from classical art, but can also be taken from textual and pictorial material from a more contemporary or sub-cultural genre. She creates networks made up of different found and discovered symbols, cuttings and graphic elements, quotations from literature and autobiographical references in the delicate ornament of her collages. Equally characteristic for the contextual composition of the works is the illumination of and engagement with her own personal creative process as well as with the diverse roles and attitudes she adopts as an artist and author. Stark’s approach is accordingly characterized by a repeated self-referentiality within her own work. Motifs and textual fragments, but also complete thematic threads can weave their path through several cycles of work. Frances Stark’s two publications Frances Stark: Collected Writing, 1993-2003 (2003, Bookworks, London) and Frances Stark: Collected Works (2007, Verlag der Buchhandlung Walter König, Cologne) trace this development most beautifully. Frances Stark’s works are informed for the most part with a fine sense of humour; it manifests itself both in the special choice of motif and in the minimal composition of the respective elements when engaging with the dynamic tension inherent in »public and private« or »gravity and irony, i.e. posing«.

in Conversation with Klaus Bollinger, Johan Bettum and Nikolaus Hirsch
Thursday, 20 November, 19h, Aula
Alle Veranstaltungen der Architekturklasse finden in englischer Sprache statt.
Meeting with Klaus Bollinger, Nikolaus Hirsch and Johan Bettum, Städelschule alumnus Tomas Saraceno will discuss aspects of his work with respect to issues in art and architecture. The panel will investigate Saraceno’s visionary approach to architecture, engineering, and physics, while addressing spatial and conceptual questions related to art.
Tomas Saraceno was trained as an architect in Argentina before commencing his post-graduate training in art and architecture in Argentina, Germany and Italy. Already during his studies at the Städelschule (2001-2003), Saraceno had begun exhibiting his work, and upon graduation he soon established a career as an artist. He has had numerous prestigious solo exhibitions and participated in group exhibitions all over the world, including “Infinitive Actives” at Portikus (2006), Venice Biennial (2003) and his project on the world's largest salt lake, Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia. His permanent installations are “On Clouds (Air port city)” at Towada Arts Center in Japan, and “Flying Garden” in Munich. Currently he holds a residency at Walker Art Center in Minneapolis where he is preparing a major solo exhibition in 2009.

ANTON VIDOKLE / JOCHEN VOLZ
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
Anton Vidokle: Everything You Always Wanted To Know About __ But Were Too Afraid To Ask.
Tuesday, 11 November, 19h, Aula
Die Veranstaltung findet in englischer Sprache statt.
Anton Vidokle is an artist based in New York and Berlin. His work has been exhibited in shows such as the Venice Biennale, Lyon Biennial, Dakar Biennale and at Tate Modern, London; Moderna Galerija, Ljubljana; Musee d'art Modern de la Ville de Paris; Museo Carrillo Gil, Mexico City; UCLA Hammer, LA; ICA, Boston; Haus Der Kunst, Munich; P.S.1, New York; among others.

As founder of e-flux, he has produced projects such as Next Documenta Should Be Curated By An Artist, Do it, Utopia Station poster project, and organized An Image Bank for Everyday Revolutionary Life and Martha Rosler Library. Vidokle initiated research into education as site for artistic practice as co-curator for Manifesta 6, which was canceled. In response to the cancellation, Vidokle set up an independent project in Berlin alled Unitednationsplaza - a twelve-month exhibition-as-school involving more than a hundred artists, writers, theorists, and diverse audiences. Located behind a supermarket in East Berlin, UNP's program featured numerous seminars, lectures, screenings, book presentations. Unitednationsplaza recently traveled to Mexico City and a parallel project called the Night School will continue at the New Museum through January 2009.

Jochen Volz: Unfolding an Institution: Finding Inhotim
Thursday, 13 November, 19h, Aula
Alle Veranstaltungen der Architekturklasse finden in englischer Sprache statt.
Jochen Volz is the artistic director of Inhotim Centro de Arte Contemporânea, a large museum complex which was founded in 2005, situated in Brumadinho, 60 km from the capital of Minas Gerais in Brazil. The museum is unique for its combination of a botanical garden with the collection of important Brazilian and international art. In addition to a collection that includes important Brazilian and international art from the 1960s and on, Inhotim numbers a sequence of pavilions in the midst of a botanical garden. The botanical garden has been partly developed along guidelines formulated by famed landscape artist, Roberto Burle Marx. The enormous variety of plants at Inhotim makes it one of the largest botanical collections in the world, with rare tropical species and a forest reserve which is part of the Atlantic Forest biome. The pavilions and botanical garden form the core of the museum complex and, together with the art collection, support the institution’s ongoing development of research, scientific innovation and education.
In 2006 Jochen Volz guest curated the 27th São Paulo Biennial: How to Live Together, with a special exhibition project in homage to Marcel Broodthaers with Juan Araujo, Mabe Bethônico, Marcel Broodthaers, Marilá Dardot, Tacita Dean, Meschac Gaba, Goshka Macuga, Rirkrit Tiravanija, Haegue Yang. Between 2001 and 2004, he was curator of Portikus, Frankfurt am Main. As a critic he is writing for magazines and catalogues. Together with Daniel Birnbaum, he will be organizing the international section of the 53rd International Art Exhibition, Venice Biennial 2009. Jochen Volz currently holds the Heinz und Giesela Friederichs Stiftung professorship for Art and Architecture 2008-09 at Städelschule.

JÜRGEN MAYER H / ALUMNI ARCHITEKTUR
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
the Architecture Class presents:
The Pavilion: Interim Passage and Polemics in Art & Architecture - Public Lecture Series Winter Semester 2008-9
- a series of public lectures that address the pavilion as typology and idea in relation to architecture and the arts.
Jürgen Mayer H: re:activators
Thursday, 6 November, 19h, Aula
Alle Veranstaltungen der Architekturklasse finden in englischer Sprache statt.
Jürgen Mayer H, one of Germany's leading, young architects, returns to Städelschule to lecture on his work that frequently touches on issues related to art and design at large.
Since establishing his office in 1995, Jürgen Mayer H has produced a wide range of objects and buildings, from interior panels, furniture and sculpture, to exhibition installations and large private and public buildings. In the work, Mayer H focuses on the intersection of architecture, communication and new technology. "From urban planning schemes and buildings to installation work and objects with new materials," Mayer H says, "the relationship between the human body, technology and nature form the background for a new production of space."
This focus has led to remarkable results, frequently praised by critics and cherished on the international architecture scene. Mayer H's Stadthaus Scharnhauser Park
und Marktplatz (1998-2002) is an extraordinary early design and won international interest and acclaim; models and drawings of the project have been collected by the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Recent projects include the Town Hall in Ostfildern, Germany, a student center at Karlsruhe University and the redevelopment of the Plaza de la Encarnacion in Sevilla, Spain.
Jürgen Mayer H. studied at Stuttgart University, The Cooper Union and at Princeton Universtiy. His work has been published and exhibited worldwide and is part of international collections like the MoMA New York and SF MoMA. Among the prizes and awards won are the Mies-van-der-Rohe-Award 2003 Emerging Architect and Winner Holcim Awards 2005 Bronze Europe for Metropol Parasol. Jürgen Mayer H. has taught at Princeton University, University of the Arts Berlin, Harvard University, Kunsthochschule Berlin, the Architectural Association in London and is currently teaching at Columbia University in New York.

David Adjaye: Art and Architecture
Thursday, 30 Oktober, 19h, Aula
Alle Veranstaltungen der Architekturklasse finden in englischer Sprache statt.
David Adjaye´s work reflects the critical relationship between art and architecture in all its facets. The reciprocal configurations of this relationship range from a public museum (Denver Museum of Modern Art) to the intimacy of a collaborative production (such as the British Pavilion at the Venice Biennial with Chris Ofili an his collaboration with Olafur Eliasson for Your Black Horizon), from a temporary structure for an art fair (Frieze Art Fair) to artists studios and homes (among others for Jake Chapman, Chris Ofili, Tim Noble, Sue Webster), from private galleries (such as Contemporary Fine Arts in Berlin) to his own objects Monoform.
Dar-Es-Salaam-born and London-based architect David Adjaye is recognized as one of the leading architects of his generation. He has held academic positions at Harvard University, University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, Princeton University and the Architectural Association. His work has been shown in numerous exhibitions, including David Adjaye: Making Public Buildings (Whitechapel Gallery in London and Studio Museum in Harlem, New York), Manifesta 7 in Bolzano and African Cities (Harvard’s Graduate School of Design). His publications include Houses - Recycling, Reconfiguring, Rebuilding (2005) and Making Public Buildings (2006).

ISABELLE GRAW: WHEN LIFE GOES TO WORK: ANDY WARHOL
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
Vorlesung
Isabelle Graw:
When life goes to work: Andy Warhol
Dienstag, 21. Oktober, 19 Uhr, Aula
In dieser Vorlesung wird der Künstler Andy Warhol als Theoretiker und Praktiker der "Celebrity Kultur" vorgestellt, von der behauptet wird, dass sie die vielbeschworene Spektakelkultur ablöste. Es sind speziell Warhols Portraits, an denen sich dieser Umschlag des Starsystems in das Celebritywesen ablesen lässt. Doch so wie er auch seine eigenen Undergroundstars produzierte, setzte er dem biopolitischen Interesse am "Leben" sein Produkt entgegen. Man könnte sagen, dass in Warhols Factory das Leben zur Arbeit geht und, dass sich die Kunst hier einmal mehr als Lebenslieferant erweist. Auch im Hinblick auf Markterfordernisse zeichnet sich seine Praxis durch einen Doppelcharakter aus - sie wird als marktkonformistisch und zugleich marktresistent bezeichnet.

WADE GUYTON
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
Lecture:
Wade Guyton
Wednesday, 24th September, 19 h, Aula
Der Vortrag findet in englischer Sprache statt.
The works of New York-based artist Wade Guyton engage the formal repertory of modernism, from Bauhaus and constructivism to Minimal, Conceptual, and Appropriation art. Since 2005, Guyton has worked primarily on canvas; his tool, however, is not the brush but an Epson Stylus inkjet printer, a machine used for large-format prints. Using a computer, Guyton produces abstract paintings: he designs the motifs on the computer and then puts them on canvas using the printer; sources of error such as using a carrier material other than the one for which the machine is conceived, manipulating the color supplies, and deliberately jolting and pulling the material while the printer is working are an intentional part of this process, creating smudges, drippings, or distortions and displacements that turn a model designed for serial reproduction into a series of original objects.

END OF YEAR / GREG LYNN / MARTHA ROSLER
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
END-OF-YEAR EVENTS
10th - 11th July 2008
Alle Veranstaltungen der Architekturklasse finden in englischer Sprache statt.
The End-of-Year Events of the Architecture Class include once more a series of exciting occasions for visiting the Städelschule and enjoying vibrant discussions and talks about architecture. For the series of events, SAC is proud to host numerous world-class theorists and architects, including: Beatriz Colomina (Princeton University), Nikolaus Hirsch, Sanford Kwinter (Rice University and Harvard University), Greg Lynn (Angewandte (Wien) and UCLA), Achim Menges (Stuttgart University), Peter Schmal (German Architectural Museum) and Mark Wigley (Columbia University). These guests join the SAC faculty that counts its dean, Ben van Berkel, Johan Bettum, Sigurdur Gunnarsson and Harald Kloft.
Review of the Research and Experiments by the First Year Group
Thursday, 10th July, 14h, Aula
The work comprises studies of select material-structural phenomena - in particular some that relate to fibrous and textile geometric conditions, analyses of select fashion designers' work and an in-depth study of Kurt Schwitters' Merzbau. The research and experiments have resulted in a series of model propositions that will be further developed for full architectural resolution during the students' second and final Diploma year.
Dean's Honorary Lecture: Greg Lynn
& The Günter Bock Prize: First Year Prize for Excellent Work
Thursday 10th July, 18:30h, Aula
The American architect, Greg Lynn, is, arguably, the inventor of advanced, time-based digital modeling in architecture. In the early 1990s, after having worked for Peter Eisenman, Greg Lynn established himself as one of the most important theorists and practitioners of complexity in architecture. Till this day, his work espouses originality and radical invention as he continues to be one of the central figures on the international, academic scene.
For the second time, the Günter Bock Prize is given out to the First Year Student(s) who has produced the best work in terms of research and experiments with respect to architecture. The prize has been made possible through the generous support of the Lions Club Frankfurt Flughafen, and, like last year, the prize is handed out by the Dean Honorary Lecturer.
Diploma Thesis Review
Friday, 11th July, 10h, Aula
The Diploma Thesis Proposals is for high-rise buildings in Frankfurt and positions hybrid or composite programming with institutional programs as the catalyst for transforming the high-rise building typology. The review sees a panel of excellent critics, including Beatriz Colomina, Sanford Kwinter, Greg Lynn, Achim Menges, Peter Schmal and Mark Wigley in addition to SAC faculty members.
Martha Rosler: location, location, location
Vortrag: 11. Juli , 18.30 Uhr
Eröffnung: 11. Juli, 20 Uhr
Ausstellungsdauer: 12. Juli – 14. September
Der Vortrag findet in englischer Sprache statt.
Seit Ende der sechziger Jahre nimmt Martha Rosler in beißend-kritischen, aber auch humorvollen Arbeiten zu aktuellen und gesellschaftlich relevanten Themen Stellung. Mit ihrem Blick auf die alltäglichen Dinge des Lebens und gesellschaftlichen Konventionen dekonstruiert Rosler Schicht für Schicht die „Mythen des Alltags“. Martha Rosler hat einflussreiche Arbeiten in den Bereichen Fotografie, Installation, Performance, Video, Textarbeiten sowie als Autorin kritischer und theoretischer Ausätze geschaffen. Sie ist keinem speziellen Medium verhaftet und arbeitet mit den Methoden und Strategien, die ihr für die jeweilige Thematik adäquat erscheinen. Ein weiterer wesentlicher Aspekt im Werk von Martha Rosler ist die kritische Auseinandersetzung mit den urbanen Strukturen, in denen wir leben, als den Orten unserer täglichen Erfahrung, sowie ihrer sozialen Implikation.
Wie schon für die documenta 12 und die letztjährigen Skulpturen Projekte Münster hat Martha Rosler für ihre Ausstellung im Portikus eine ortspezifisch motivierte Ausstellungssituation entworfen. Dem Prinzip der Montage folgend untersucht sie verschiedene Aspekte, die aus historischer sowie aus gegenwärtiger Sicht das Image der Stadt Frankfurt als Handelsstadt ausmachen. Martha Rosler geht dabei der Frage nach, aus welchen Teilen sich das „City-Branding“ in einer Stadt wie Frankfurt zusammensetzt.
Die Ausstellung wurde großzügig unterstützt von der Dresdner Bank. Vielen Dank für die Kooperation an: Deutsche Börse Group, Historisches Museum Frankfurt, Jüdisches Museum Frankfurt

REALISM - J. RAETHER, K. STAKEMEIER, H. STEYERL
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
Realism – Conversation with Johannes Raether, Kerstin Stakemeier and Hito Steyerl
Sunday, 6th July, 16:30 h, Frankfurter Kunstverein
Der Vortrag findet in englischer Sprache statt.
The topic of this discussion event is artistic Realism – not as a term that defines a technique of copying reality but as a method of critical intervention into the production of that reality. Taking into consideration its complex history, present definitions of realism will be discussed in the context of their political development. What does it mean to define realism as a critical stance toward artistic production today? Which methods might enable the construction of realist views on the changeability of our present?
This round table discussion is organized as part of the project “Trompe-l’œil Polizei” by the Realism Working Group // Free Class Frankfurt/M. The group produced a bi-lingual newspaper (German/English) that is dedicated to the topic of realism, as well as the significance of collaborative strategies. It comprises interviews with “Chto delat?” and Claire Fontaine, an article by Johannes Raether and Kerstin Stakemeier as well as texts and images by the members of the Realism Working Group. This newspaper is available in the “10 Reasons to be a Member” space at the Frankfurter Kunstverein for free distribution and online at: http://realismworkinggroup.wordpress.com.
Furthermore, the project includes a film program at Frankfurter Kunstverein and a series of workshops at HfBK Städelschule.
For further information on this and other projects of the Free Class Frankfurt/M visit: http://freeclassfrankfurt.wordpress.com
This talk is a cooperation between Frankfurter Kunstverein and Städelschule.

ERIC D. CLARK
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
Eric D. Clark:
Self Marketing in the private art sectors, or "Basic Schmoozing"
How to maximize your potential in the field of the arts you deem your own strength
Tuesday, 24th June, 19 h, Aula
Der Vortrag findet in englischer Sprache statt.
Born beautiful and talented, Eric mastered piano by 10, at the same age was recruited to play for God at the Allen Chappell A.M.E. Church, leading his own choir of 5-12 year olds ’the Angel Choir‘ in all Sunday processions.

Born beautiful and talented, Eric mastered piano by 10, at the same age was recruited to play for God at the Allen Chappell A.M.E. Church, leading his own choir of 5-12 year olds ’the Angel Choir‘ in all Sunday processions.

HELMUT DRAXLER
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
Hinweis:
Aufgrund einer Erkrankung von Prof. Näher muss der Vortrag "Rebellen" am Freitag, 13.6.2008 leider entfallen und wird im Wintersemester nachgeholt.
Note: Due to illness of Prof. Näher the lecture "Rebels" on Friday, 13th June has to be postponed to the winter term.
Helmut Draxler: Substance vs Shandy
Wednesday, 18th June, 19 h, Aula
Der Vortrag findet in englischer Sprache statt.
‚Substance’ is not only a category for a deeper understanding of an artwork, but an aesthetic category of its own. In a certain sense it is the aesthetic category since the late 18th century, functioning as a sort of back ground metaphor for all the other aesthetic categories. Therefore, idealistic and anti-idealistic positions in art criticism and art practice can be understood as a struggling for the better understanding of what ‘substance’ is about. That is why, especially anti-idealistic positions are easily trapped in their own preliminary idealistic decisions. For a more subtle way to negotiate ‘substance’ I suggest the ‘shandean’ tradition, based on Lawrence Sterne’s famous novel Tristram Shandy.
A presentation of of three books by Helmut Draxler
- Gefährliche Substanzen. Zum Verhältnis von Kritik und Kunst, Berlin 2007
- Die Gewalt des Zusammenhangs. Raum, Referenz und Repräsentation bei Fareed Armaly, Berlin 2007 (Coercing Constellations. Space, Reference, and Representation in Fareed Armaly)
- Shandyismus. Autorschaft als Genre, Stuttgart 2007 (Shandyism. Authorship as Genre)

THOMAS WAGNER / LE CORBUSIER / CHRISTA NÄHER
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
Thomas Wagner:
Das Werk verflüchtigt sich wie ein Duft. Marcel Duchamp´s Ästhetik des Atmosphärischen
1. Teil: Dienstag, 10. Juni, 19 Uhr, Aula
2. Teil: Mittwoch, 11. Juni, 19 Uhr, Aula
Werk und Person Marcel Duchamps (1887 bis 1968) kommen innerhalb der Kunst und der Kunstgeschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts eine zentrale Rolle zu. Wie kein anderer hat er unsere Vorstellungen vom Kunstwerk, seinem Produzenten und seinem Rezipienten verändert und eine neue Möglichkeit der künstlerischen Haltung vorgelebt.
Dabei hat der Meta-Ironiker gern gespielt, oft falsche Köder ausgelegt, gegen die Netzhautkunst polemisiert und Widerstand gegen all das geleistet, was mit Geschmack zu tun hat. Lieber lauschte er dem ästhetischen Echo und ließ die grauen Zellen arbeiten. Auf welche Weise aber verweist in seinen „Werken“ das Sichtbare auf das Unsichtbare? Welche Rolle spielt das Atmosphärische innerhalb seiner Arbeiten? Und verbirgt sich in seinem Konzept des „infra-mince“ gar so etwas wie eine späte Ästhetik?
the Architecture Class presents:
Art & Architecture - Public Lecture Series Summer Semester 2008
Le Corbusier – Film & Television for Architecture
Thursday, 12 June, 14h, Aula
Alle Veranstaltungen der Architekturklasse finden in englischer Sprache statt.
Due to scheduling conflicts, the originally planned conference on ‘Le Corbusier, Art and Architecture’ is deferred to autumn.
In place of the planned event, the Architecture Class hosts an event on Le Corbusier & film and television as part of an extended program on the architect’s engagement with the arts and media.
At the time when the French architect, Le Corbusier, engaged with the arts in conjunction with producing his many influential works, he also embraced the new media of film and, shortly thereafter, television. According to Beatriz Colomina, professor at Princeton University, ‘modern architecture only becomes modern with its engagement with the media.’ Architecture thus becomes constructed as an immaterial series of images in the public imagination, and Le Corbusier actively engaged with the new media to convey his architectural visions as much as to promote himself in the public realm. In consequence, the building, as the ultimate artifact of architecture, was displaced through reproduction and a specific narrative. The inquiry into the subject matter holds continued relevance at a time when various forms of media have taken on increased importance in conveying architecture within the field as well as to an international, public audience at large.
The program includes lectures by Beatriz Colomina and Véronique Boone. A series of films, film- and television clips will be screened. The talks and the viewings will be followed by an open discussion that includes the participation of Sanford Kwinter as well as Daniel Birnbaum, Ben van Berkel and Johan Bettum.
Beatriz Colomina is an architectural theorist and associate professor in the School of Architecture and guest professor for Architecture History at Städelschule.
She has written extensively on questions of architecture and the modern institutions of representation, particularly the printed media, photography, advertising, film and TV.
Veronique Boone studied architecture at the University of Ghent and holds a Master Histoire de l'architecture from the Sorbonne in Paris. Her research is focused on the representation of architecture in film and photography. Her book, Le Corbusier et le film, la promotion d'une oeuvre, will be issued by the French publisher Picard this year.
The Städelschule Architecture Class Lecture Series is supported by the Architekten- und Stadtplanerkammer Hessen.

Rebellen. Gilles Deleuze, Glenn Gould und Yeshayahu Leibovitz
Freitag, 13. Juni, Daimlerstr. 32
Der Vortag wurde inspiriert durch folgende provokante Aussage P.P. Pasolini´s: am meisten liebe er die Menschen, welche gerade mal das vierte Schuljahr erreicht hätten, oder aber die “Hochgebildeten”, dazwischen läge die Bourgeoise, gebildet Mittel- und Oberschicht, welch zu den infamsten Grausamkeiten in der Lage seien.
Gilles Deleuze, Yeshayahu Leibovitz und Glenn Gould sind ohne Zweifel hochgebildete, außergewöhnliche Begabungen. Auffallend ist, dass sie alle auf eine unerschütterliche, überaus leicht verständliche und schöne Weise menschlich sind.

ARMIN LINKE / GARRY NEILL KENNEDY / TROMPE-L´OEIL POLIZEI
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
Armin Linke:
phenotypes and other works
Wednesday, 4th June, 19 h, Aula
Die Veranstaltung findet in englischer Sprache statt.
Armin Linke’s installation Phenotypes/Limited Forms, which is shown in ZKM, analyzes the public utility of his online-photographic archive. Linke’s online archive contains photographs of locations in Nigeria, China, Cyprus, of the G8-Summit in Genoa, a NASA-base in California, the documenta etc. As an interactive internet project Book on Demand, the photographic archive had already been presented as part of the Utopia Station at the Venice Biennale, 2003. Armin Linke will present phenotypes and other recent projects.
Armin Linke lives in Milan and Berlin.
As a photographer and filmmaker he is working on an ongoing archive about human activity and the most varied natural and man-made landscapes.
He tries to document scenes where the boundary between fiction and non-fiction blurs or becomes invisible.
Garry Neill Kennedy:
The Colours of Citizen Arar and other works
Thursday, 5th June, 19 h, Aula
Die Veranstaltung findet in englischer Sprache statt.
Maher Arar, a Canadian Citizen, was apprehended by US officials while in transit at New York's JFK airport when returning home in 2002 from a family vacation. He was subsequently sent from the US to Syria where he endured a year of imprisonment and torture. Upon his return to Canada he was completely vindicated of any wrongdoing (2006). Kennedy's large wall painting and booklet, The Colours of Citizen Arar attempts as an artwork to bring forward the tragic experiences of Maher Arar.
Garry Neill Kennedy is a Canadian artist who lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia. In addition to an active career as an artist he has been teaching at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (NSCAD University) for over forty years where he also served as president. He was visiting professor at California Institute of the Arts (Cal Arts) and Ecole des Beaux Arts, Paris (ensba). His most recent solo museum exhibitions were held at the National Gallery of Canada, The Art Gallery of Nova Scotia and Portikus (Frankfurt am Main). He is currently editing a book/catalogue for MIT Press with working title, NSCAD: The Conceptual Art Years.
Free Class Frankfurt/M: Trompe-l'œil Polizei (10 Reasons To Be A Member #16)
Eröffnung: Freitag, 6. Juni, 20 Uhr, Frankfurter Kunstverein
Ausstellung: 07. Juni - 07. September 2008
Die „Realism Working Group“ der Free Class Frankfurt/M. widmet sich in ihrem Beitrag für den 10 Reasons to be a Member - Raum des Frankfurter Kunstvereins dem Verhältnis von Kunst und Wirklichkeitsproduktion. Aktuelle gesellschaftliche Realitäten basieren nicht auf Naturgewalten, sondern auf einer diffusen polizeilichen Ordnung konstruierter 'Sachzwänge'. Ausgehend von dieser Prämisse sucht die Gruppe nach künstlerisch-kollaborativen Methoden, welche die Veränderlichkeit unserer Gegenwart in den Vordergrund stellen. Neben der Gestaltung einer Ausstellung produziert die Gruppe eine Zeitung die sich der Aktualität des Begriffs 'Realismus' widmet und dabei zugleich die Bedeutung kollaborativer Strategien diskutiert. Begleitend gibt es ein Film- und Diskussionsprogramm.
Die Free Class Frankfurt/M. ist ein loser Zusammenhang von KünstlerInnen die eine gemeinsame Diskussion über Kunst und Politik verbindet. Innerhalb der Free Class werden dabei verschiedene Arbeitsgruppen und experimentelle Initiativen zu unterschiedlichen Themen entwickelt. Mitglieder der “Realism Working Group” sind: Rebecca Ann Tess, Michael Eddy, Jonas Jensen, Martin Kirchner, Flo Maak, Siw Umsonst und Jeronimo Voss.
Ursprung und momentane Heimat der Free Class ist die Städelschule.
Dieses Projekt für den 10 reasons to be a Member - Raum wurde initiiert von Tobi Maier (Kurator, Frankfurter Kunstverein).

EINEN ROLAND FÜR EINEN OLIVER / SCHLITTSCHUHLAUFEN AUF CANAL GRANDE / I AM A MAN
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
Klasse Tobias Rehberger: Einen Roland für einen Oliver
Eröffnung: Freitag, 30. Mai, 20 Uhr, Kunstverein Wilhelmshöhe Ettlingen e. V.
Ausstellung: 31. Mai – 20. Juni 2008
Klasse Tobias Rehberger: Florencia Colombo, Zachary Dempster, Pedro Miguel de Faria Lagoa, Othmar Farre, Martin Flemming, Jorma Foth, Philip Götze, Sandra Havlicek, Hanna Hildebrand, Janus Hochgesand, Yngve Holen, Ilja Karilampi, Sean Kennedy, Yasuaki Kitagawa, Laura Kuch, Sascha Langer, Shane Munroe, Pasquale Pennacchio & Marisa Argentato, Att Poomtangon, Laura Schawelka, Marcel Schiele, Christian Tonner, Jeronimo Voss, Naneci Yurdagül, Hendrik Zimmer
Eines steht fest: In der Klasse gibt es weder einen Roland noch einen Oliver. Das ist gut so, denn sonst würde der Ausstellungstitel (die Übersetzung einer englischen Redewendung, die soviel bedeutet wie „Schlag auf Schlag“ oder „wie du mir so ich dir“) im Widerspruch zur geplanten „Versuchsanordnung“ stehen. Ausgangspunkt der Ausstellung der Klasse Tobias Rehberger im Kunstverein Ettlingen ist ein egalitäres Prinzip: 26 Studenten und Studentinnen zählt die Klasse. Alle werden in Ettlingen ausstellen. So wenig wie eine Auswahl innerhalb der Klasse getroffen wurde, so wenig wurde an einem „gemeinsamen“ Projekt gearbeitet. Im Gegenteil ist jede/jeder Teilnehmende aufgefordert ihre/seine neue Arbeit nicht nur eigenständig zu entwickeln, sondern sie auch nicht mit den MitstudentInnen abzusprechen. „Kunst machen“ bedeutet Entscheidungen zu fällen, ohne sich auf bewährte Erfahrungswerte berufen zu können. Je weniger Vorgaben desto mehr Entscheidungen.
Zur Ausstellung entsteht ein kleiner Katalog, der das Prinzip der Ausstellung im anderen Medium fortsetzen wird.
Öffnungszeiten im Kunstverein Wilhelmshöhe Ettlingen sind: Mi-Sa 15-18 Uhr, So 11-18 Uhr.

"Venedig, sagt man, habe die Form eines Fisches. Und wie ein Meerestier bewegt es sich auch in der Lagune, sinkt unter die Wasseroberfläche, aber taucht zum Luftholen wieder auf, neugierig und gespannt betrachtet es die Touristen, die, bewaffnet mit Masken und Fotokameras, durch die Stadt vorrücken, immer bereit, sich wie ein Einsiedlerkrebs in sein Haus zurückzuziehen." (Paola Cantu, 2008:1)
Klischees versperren den Blick auf Venedig. Etwas Wahres an Venedig zu entdecken, ist kaum möglich. Dass Venedig zudem eine Allegorie ist, erschwert die Annäherung, denn auf Venedig trifft Schlegels Aussage, "alle Schönheit ist Allegorie", noch zu. Durch die Schönheit bezog sich die Allegorie in der Romantik auf das Unaussprechliche, als sich die ästhetische Autonomie noch in der Einheit von Bild und Sinn rechtfertigte, die sie in der Allegorie zu deuten versuchte. Die Klasse Näher, die zusammen im Dezember 2007 nach Venedig gereist ist, widmet sich mit dieser Ausstellung dieser unvergleichlichen Stadt.
Ein Katalog zur Ausstellung ist in Vorbereitung.

RICHARD SENNETT / SCHNEIDER+SCHUMACHER
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
Talk:
Art and Craft.
Panel with Richard Sennett, Johan Bettum and Thomas Bayrle
Tuesday, 27th May, 19 h, Liebieghaus
Lecture:
Richard Sennett: Obsession and Handcraft
Wednesday, 28th May, 19h, Liebieghaus
Richard Sennett’s book „The Craftsman“ was published in January 2008 and has been discussed intensively in the newspapers. When Sennett talks about handcraft or craftsmanship, he isn’t talking about technical practice. He is describing a fundamental human impulse, namely the attempt to go for something for its own sake in the best manner possible. Sennett sheds light on the extreig of philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein to design and construct his sister’s house on Kundmanngasse in Vienna.
Sociologist Richard Sennett, born in 1943, is one of the most popular theorists and critics of capitalism. He teaches at the London School of Economics and New York University.

Richard Sennett: Obsession and Handcraft
Wednesday, 28th May, 19h, Liebieghaus
Richard Sennett’s book „The Craftsman“ was published in January 2008 and has been discussed intensively in the newspapers. When Sennett talks about handcraft or craftsmanship, he isn’t talking about technical practice. He is describing a fundamental human impulse, namely the attempt to go for something for its own sake in the best manner possible. Sennett sheds light on the extreig of philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein to design and construct his sister’s house on Kundmanngasse in Vienna.

NIKOLAUS HIRSCH
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!

Art & Architecture - Public Lecture Series Summer Semester 2008
Nikolaus Hirsch: 'On Boundaries'
Thursday 22 May, 19 h, Architecture Building, Dürerstr. 24
Spend the Corpus Christi holiday (Fronleichnam) evening in Städelschule and hear Nikolaus Hirsch on the critical relationship between art and architecture.
Alle Veranstaltungen der Architekturklasse finden in englischer Sprache statt.
Nikolaus Hirsch belongs to Germany's younger generation of architects who have won international critical acclaim. Hirsch's work, writing and teaching explore the boundaries of contemporary architecture first and foremost in a social, political and cultural context. This engagement with architecture has frequently led him to the borders of his own discipline in specific collaborations with visual and performative artists, resulting in projects such as Bockenheimer Depot Theater (with choreographer William Forsythe), Autobahn Tower (with Thomas Bayrle), Node House (with Raqs Media Collective), and Unitednationsplaza (with Anton Vidokle).
His most renowned buildings are the acclaimed Dresden Synagogue (2001) and the Hinzert Document Center (2006), for which he received the German Architectural Museum's 2007-prize for Best German Architecture. Current work include the European Kunsthalle, Unitednationsplaza and a cultural laboratory in Delhi.
Hirsch has held academic positions at German universities such as the Institute for Applied Theater Studies in Giessen and, while based in Frankfurt, he has also taught at a number of renowned schools worldwide, including the AA in London and University of Pennsylvania in America. He has curated "ErsatzStadt: Representations of the Urban" at Volksbühne Berlin (2006) and is a member of the "Curating Architecture" program at Goldsmiths College in London.
In 2007, Hirsch published his book, 'On Boundaries', with Lukas & Sternberg. His Fronleichnam lecture extrapolates from this book. In the lecture he will continue the inquiry in relation to the boundaries of architecture - boundary " as a conflict between collaboration and authorship, as well as a physical limitation that negotiates between stable and unstable conditions."
Nikolaus Hirsch has won numerous awards, including the BDA-Prize Berlin 1998, the Art Prize of 1822-Foundation, German Critics Award 2001, World Architecture Award 2002, and the German Architectural Museum's prize for best German building in 2007. His work has been featured in exhibitions, such as “Neue Welt” (Frankfurter Kunstverein, 2001), “New German Architecture” (Martin-Gropius-Bau Berlin, Milano, 2003), “Utopia Station“ at the Venice Biennal 2003, “Can Buildings Curate” (Architectural Association London / Storefront Gallery, New York, 2005), Thomas Bayrle´s "40 Years Chinese Rock 'n Roll " (MMK Frankfurt, 2006) and the Biennale Sao Paulo, 2007.

HAEGUE YANG / ACCESS TO ISRAEL I
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
Haegue Yang: Siblings and Twins
Lecture: Wednesday, 14th May, 19h, Aula
Opening: Friday, 16th May, 2008, 20h, Portikus
Exhibition: 17th May – 29th June, 2008
Haegue Yang is showing a new installation at the Portikus entitled Siblings and Twins. The work is composed of two parts that are connected by substantial metaphorical parallels yet formally distinct. Yang’s current works are based on subjectively selected aspects from the lives of a variety of historical characters. In the case of Siblings and Twins these are the fighter for Korea’s freedom Kim San and the French author Marguerite Duras. The specific interest is here primarily in the transfer of subjectively felt intensities that underlie the public perception of these characters and the circumstances of their lives into an abstract form.
Haegue Yang’s artistic approach is marked by a particular interest in the language of abstraction, and in particular in how the rhetoric of formal abstraction might make it possible to relate abstractly conceived complex facts about the world in a self-supporting language. Using everyday materials and objects such as blinds, metal structures, light bulbs, perforated metal sheets, and spotlights as formal means, Yang creates an exhibition situation in which the visitor is called upon to face—both physically and intellectually—the plurality of possible interpretations.
Haegue Yang studied in Frankfurt in the class of Prof. Georg Herold. Her work was exhibited recently in Lethal Love, Cubitt Gallery, London and on 55th Carnegie International, Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh.
Talk:
ACCESS TO ISRAEL I: Israeli Contemporary Art
with Amy Simon and Nahum Tevet
Thursday, 15th May, 20.30h Aula
Moderation: Georg-Christof Bertsch
Opening: Thursday, 15th May, 19h, Jüdisches Museum Frankfurt am Main, Untermainkai 14-15, 60311 Frankfurt am Main
ACCESS TO ISRAEL I marks the start of a series of exhibitions and events in the Jewish Museum Frankfurt aimed at providing intellectual access to Israel. This first exhibition seeks to bring together as broad a spectrum as possible of artistic media. For example, photo works, video installations, painting and sculpture. ACCESS TO ISRAEL I deliberately deals with topics that crop up in almost every discussion or report on Israel, i.e., the political conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, the presence of military and its importance within Israeli society, and attitudes to Jewish identity and history. The artists examine them from an individual perspective.
In cooperation with the Jewish Museum Frankfurt am Main the Städelschule has invited Amy Simon (ARTFORUM) and Nahum Tevet (Dean MFA, Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, Jerusalem) to have a discussion on contemporary art, conditions of teaching and practicing art in Frankfurt and Jerusalem and what importance theses roots have for artists today. Since many years the Städelschule has a student exchange program with the Bezalel Academy, founded in 1906. Upon the 100th anniversary in 2006 graduates from Städelschule were invited to show their work within the exhibition by Bezalel.

MUTSURO SASAKI
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
the Architecture Class presents:
Art & Architecture - Public Lecture Series Summer Semester 2008
Mutsuro Sasaki: Morphogenesis of Flux Structure
Tuesday 6 May, 19 h, Deutsches Architekturmuseum, Schaumainkai 43
followed by
Plenum with Mutsuro Sasaki, Sanford Kwinter, Peter Schmal, Achim Menges, Harald Kloft and Johan Bettum.
Alle Veranstaltungen der Architekturklasse finden in englischer Sprache statt.
Of recently, Mutsuro Sasaki has emerged one of the leading engineers in the world, being a protagonist for a new type of structural design. Projects that he has completed include Toyo Ito's Sendai Mediatheque, the Greenhouse Facility in Gringrin, Fukuoka, and several collaborations with Arata Isozaki as well as Sanaa.
Sasaki argues that new developments in architecture require entirely new methodological approaches. In this respect, he has developed specific methods that enable a finely honed approach to complex formal problems. His work is in part based on his research on Riemannian, N-dimensioned space and a theory of generalized continuum mechanics.
The lecture is followed by a plenum discussion that includes among others the Heinz und Gisela Friedrichs Stiftung Guest Professor in Städelschule, Sanford Kwinter. Kwinter is one of the leading theorists in architecture with respect to a new materialism as the conceptual and factual basis for creative design.
The lecture and plenum discussion are organized by the Städelschule Architecture Class in collaboration with the Deutsches Architekturmuseum and are part of the SAC Summer Semester Lecture Series, Art and Architecture.

SIMON STARLING
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
the Architecture Class presents:
Art & Architecture - Public Lecture Series Summer Semester 2008
Simon Starling: Three Birds, Seven Stories, Interpolations and Bifurcations
Thursday, 24 April, 19h, Aula, Städelschule
Alle Veranstaltungen der Architekturklasse finden in englischer Sprache statt.
Städelschule art professor and Turner Prize winner Simon Starling opens the SAC Summer Semester Lecture Series, entitled Art and Architecture. Starling lectures with the title, Three Birds, Seven Stories, Interpolations and Bifurcations, which is also the name of a recently opened exhibition in Galleria Franco Nero in Torino.
Starling's work maintains a playful relation to architecture and design. His projects do not only explore the formal side and status of objects and processes of making, they also tinker with the duality of space and time by way of often engaging with elaborate and funny odysseys as part of the artistic production process. These processes meander between traditional craft and modern, industrial making and render the status of the object(s) that Starling produce floating between the reified and the uncertain. Moreover, many of his installations also engender spaces that are as architectural as they are artistic in that they transpose and encapsulate the visitor in a total space-time condition on scales that are architectural before anything else.
The British-born Starling is currently based in Copenhagen and is professor in fine art in the Städelschule.

I AM A MAN - ARTO LINDSAY UND STUDIERENDE DER STÄDELSCHULE
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
I AM A MAN
Parade von Arto Lindsay und Studierenden der Städelschule
Samstag, 19. April 2008, 15 Uhr, Portikus
(vom Portikus über die Alte Brücke, durch die Fahrgasse zum MMK; Straßenfest ab 18 Uhr vor dem MMK)
Der Titel der Parade stammte von Schildern, die während einer von Dr. Martin Luther King angeführten Demonstration getragen wurden. Anlaß war damals in den 60ern ein Streik der Müllabfuhr von Memphis. Die Parade wird aus verschiedenen Gruppen bestehen, die sich, -mehr oder weniger abstrakt-, auf den Begriff des Körpers beziehen, der gleichzeitig befreit von und im Konflikt ist mit den Neuerungen, die ihn heimsuchen.
Die Marschierenden setzen sich unter anderem aus einem Spielmannszug, einer lokalen Parade-Band und einer Meute von Roboterhunden mit Lautsprechern (die erst neulich eingestellten Sony Aibos) zusammen. Unter den weiteren Gruppen wird es eine kleine Ansammlung von Philosophen geben, die eine Debatte zu Thema der sprachlichen Spezifik in der Philosophie weiterführen, die durch die bekannte Bemerkung Heideggers initiiert wurde, dass unter allen modernen Sprachen nur die deutsche Sprache angemessen wäre für die Philosophie. Einige Bonsais und Cheerleader tragen zur allgemeinen Heterogenität bei.
Die Parade präsentiert auch den zeitgenössichen Tänzer Richard Siegal, bis vor kurzem Ensemblemitglied der Forsythe Company, Marivaldo Paim, Meisterpercussionist von der Ilê Aiyê in Bahia und Nico Vascellari, ein junger italienischer Hard-Core-Punk-Musiker und Künstler.
Arto Lindsay ist ein amerikanischer Musiker und Künstler, der in Salvador, Brasilen lebt und arbeitet. Beginn seiner Performancetätigkeit war in den späten 70ern in New York mit seiner Band DNA. Lindsay arbeitete bereits zuvor mit Bildenden Künstlern zusammen, wie zum Beispiel Vito Acconci, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster und, auf einem Karnevalsumzug in Bahia, mit Matthew Barney.

YONA FRIEDMAN
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
Ausstellung:
Yona Friedman
Eröffnung: 20. März 2008, 20 Uhr, Portikus
Ausstellungsdauer: 21. März – 4. Mai 2008
Eröffnungsfeier mit Freitagsküche: 20. März, 21 Uhr, Atelierschiff der Stadt Frankfurt
Bootsshuttle um 21 und 22 Uhr ab Portikus / Mainkai
Rückfahrten ab Ruderdorf um 23 und 24 Uhr
Yona Friedman ist einer der interessantesten und wichtigsten Architekturtheoretiker und –utopisten unserer Zeit. 1923 in Budapest geboren, lebt er seit vielen Jahren in Paris. Friedmans Arbeiten umfassen städteplanerische Modelle, theoretische Texte und Animationsfilm. Bedeutende Ausstellungen hatte er bei mehreren Kunstbiennalen (u.a. Shanghai, Venedig) und der documenta 11 in Kassel. Während der letzten Dekaden seines Schaffens sind unzählige Zeichnungen, Modelle und Strukturuntersuchungen seiner visionären Ideen entstanden. Friedman arbeitete mit den einfachsten Mitteln; Papier, Draht, Verpackungsmaterialien sind dabei Struktur gebende Ausgangsmaterialien für seine Collagen und Modelle. Einfache Handhabung und kreative Anwendung seiner Ideen sind oberstes Prinzip. Für den Portikus erarbeitet Friedman gemeinsam mit StudentInnen und AbsolventInnnen der Städelschule eine mehrteilige Rauminstallation, die sich auf frühere Strukturmodelle seiner Arbeit bezieht. Zusätzlich zur Ausstellung werden in einem Screening eine Serie von 13 Animationsfilmen von 1960 gezeigt, die auf afrikanischen Märchen basieren und seit kurzem wieder in einer neu restaurierten Fassung vorliegen.
Der Portikus zeigt in Kooperation mit dem Kulturamt der Stadt Frankfurt eine zusätzliche Installation von Yona Friedman auf dem neuen städtischen Atelierschiff. Sein Anlegeplatz befindet sich am Mainufer (in Höhe Oberrad) direkt am Ruderdorf und stellt eine reizvolle Ergänzung als Kunststandort dar. Bespielt wird das Schiff in diesem Sommer abwechselnd von der Städelschule, dem Frankfurter Kunstverein und dem Museum für Moderne Kunst. Ab 2009 steht das Schiff internationalen Gastkünstlern des Kulturamtes als Atelier und Wohnung zu Verfügung.
Zur Eröffnung der Ausstellung Yona Friedman und des Atelierschiffs sind die Ausstellungsgäste herzlich zu einer Party an Bord eingeladen. Vom Portikus zum Atelierschiff gibt es einen Shuttle über den Main. Für Kulinarisches konnte die Freitagsküche gewonnen werden, DJs sind an diesem Abend Dennis Loesch (Berlin), Michael Riedel (Berlin/Frankfurt) und Guy the Guy (Wien). Der Eintritt ist frei.

Ausstellung: 12. bis 20. März 2008
KUNST-WERKE BERLIN e.V.
Auguststraße 69
10117 Berlin
Das Ehepaar Helga und Hartmut Rausch beehren als zweite Gäste die Suite des Hotel Marienbad im Vorderhaus der KW Institute for Contemporary Art. Diesem Haus liegt ihr Wohlbefinden besonders am Herzen und so ist es eine Selbstverständlichkeit, dem Ehepaar Rausch ein Residieren inmitten ihrer lieb gewonnenen Kunst zu ermöglichen. Schätze aus der renommierten Sammlung Rausch werden in den Räumen der Suite liebevoll von ihnen arrangiert. Rauschende Gäste der Städelschule Frankfurt machen ihren Aufenthalt zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis.
Mitbringen werden Helga und Hartmut Rausch Bilder und Objekte aus ihrer inzwischen 400 Werke umfassenden Sammlung. In den vielen Jahren ihrer Hausmeistertätigkeit haben ihnen immer wieder Studierende und Professoren Zeichnungen, Gemälde oder Objekte geschenkt. Das Ehepaar Rausch begann so, Kunst zu sammeln und hat eine ganz besondere Beziehung zu seinen Schätzen. Im Hotel Marienbad, wo sie auch übernachten, zeigen Helga und Hartmut Rausch eine ganz persönliche Auswahl dieser im Jahr 2007 im Portikus erstmals präsentierten Sammlung. Zusammen mit ihnen reisen StudentInnen der Städelschule an und stellen ein Programm aus Gesprächen, Präsentationen, Konzerten und Filmen zusammen: Dazu gehören Live-Musik von Country über Pop bis Punk, Künstlerfilme von Studierenden und Absolventen oder ein Gespräch zwischen Thomas Bayrle, Daniel Birnbaum, Isabelle Graw, Simon Starling, Wolfgang Tillmans und Studierenden über das Thema „Kunst lehren“. Die Suite des Hotels Marienbad wird so gleichsam zum Ausstellungsort wie zum Laboratorium junger KunststudentInnen. Hartmut Rausch wird außerdem zusammen mit Städelschülern seine legendäre Golden Rausch-Bar im Innenhof der KW einrichten.

Das Ehepaar Helga und Hartmut Rausch beehren als zweite Gäste die Suite des Hotel Marienbad im Vorderhaus der KW Institute for Contemporary Art. Diesem Haus liegt ihr Wohlbefinden besonders am Herzen und so ist es eine Selbstverständlichkeit, dem Ehepaar Rausch ein Residieren inmitten ihrer lieb gewonnenen Kunst zu ermöglichen. Schätze aus der renommierten Sammlung Rausch werden in den Räumen der Suite liebevoll von ihnen arrangiert. Rauschende Gäste der Städelschule Frankfurt machen ihren Aufenthalt zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis.
Mitbringen werden Helga und Hartmut Rausch Bilder und Objekte aus ihrer inzwischen 400 Werke umfassenden Sammlung. In den vielen Jahren ihrer Hausmeistertätigkeit haben ihnen immer wieder Studierende und Professoren Zeichnungen, Gemälde oder Objekte geschenkt. Das Ehepaar Rausch begann so, Kunst zu sammeln und hat eine ganz besondere Beziehung zu seinen Schätzen. Im Hotel Marienbad, wo sie auch übernachten, zeigen Helga und Hartmut Rausch eine ganz persönliche Auswahl dieser im Jahr 2007 im Portikus erstmals präsentierten Sammlung. Zusammen mit ihnen reisen StudentInnen der Städelschule an und stellen ein Programm aus Gesprächen, Präsentationen, Konzerten und Filmen zusammen: Dazu gehören Live-Musik von Country über Pop bis Punk, Künstlerfilme von Studierenden und Absolventen oder ein Gespräch zwischen Thomas Bayrle, Daniel Birnbaum, Isabelle Graw, Simon Starling, Wolfgang Tillmans und Studierenden über das Thema „Kunst lehren“. Die Suite des Hotels Marienbad wird so gleichsam zum Ausstellungsort wie zum Laboratorium junger KunststudentInnen. Hartmut Rausch wird außerdem zusammen mit Städelschülern seine legendäre Golden Rausch-Bar im Innenhof der KW einrichten.

MARTA MALÉ ALEMANY & JOSÉ PEDRO SOUSA
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
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.
ReD: Marta Malé Alemany + José Pedro Sousa: Computation and Materiality
Thursday, 14 February, 19h, Aula, Städelschule
Alle Veranstaltungen der Architekturklasse finden in englischer Sprache statt.
As the last lecture in the series, Designed Materiality, the Architecture Class presents Marta Malé-Alemany and José Pedro Sousa.
Their practice, Research + Design, is an award winning architecture and digital fabrication studio that operates internationally from Barcelona and Porto, merging design and research both in practice and academia. The lecture “Computation and Materiality” is a short overview on the studio’s creative approach using digital technologies for the production of architecture.
The starting point of this presentation frames the studio’s particular agenda among current digital architecture trends. For ReD, technology is not considered as an end in itself, but as a powerful media to dramatically expand the designer’s universe of conceptual and material opportunities. Taking some examples from academic experiences, ReD will illustrate its interest in exploring interactive and recursive relations between digital design and fabrication technologies, since the early phases of the architectural project. In practice, the studio’s works reflect an interest in generating and controlling complex geometries, component differentiation and non-standard production, as well in rethinking and finding new applications for conventional materials in architecture. To illustrate these ideas ReD will present the projects XURRET System, MORSlide and the awarded MCity exhibition in the Kunsthaus Graz.

WOLFGANG TILLMANS / PAOLA PIVI / ELKE GENZEL & PAMELA VOIGT
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
!!
Der Vortrag von Thomas Wagner wird Krankheitsbedingt auf das kommende Sommersemester verschoben.
Due to illness the lecture by Thomas Wagner has to be postponed to the summer term.
!!
Wolfgang Tillmans
Wednesday, 23rd January, 19h, Aula
Der Vortrag findet in englischer Sprache statt.
In this lecture Wolfgang Tillmans will present his recent works 'Lighter', 'truth study centre' , 'Memorial for the Victims of Organised Religions' and 'paper drop'. He will also talk about museum exhibitions he did in the US in 2006/07 among others in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Washington.
Paola Pivi: It’s a Cocktail Party
Thursday, 24th January, 19h, Studios Daimlerstrasse 32-36
Der Vortrag findet in englischer Sprache statt.
Die Daimlerstrasse erreichen Sie u.a. mit der Straßenbahnlinie 11.
Pivi has a reputation for realizing large-scale projects that highlight absurd aspects of our everyday world, confronting the viewer with unanticipated and spectacular situations. Her works place well-known objects in unusual contexts, imparting to them a modified meaning and function, thus exhibiting cultural and social conventions. Paola Pivi realizes conceptions and ideas of structures the viewer would not ordinarily get to see. The spectacular is here balanced with a certain Romantic notion of an inversion of all things. During the past few years, Pivi has been represented at important international group shows such as the 1999 and 2003 Venice biennials. In early 2007, Paola Pivi first presented her work in the German-speaking world with a major solo exhibition at Kunsthalle Basel.
The exhibition in Portikus opens Friday, 25 January, 8 p.m..
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.
Elke Genzel / Pamela Voigt: Plastic Buildings
Thursday, 24th January, 19h, Aula
Alle Veranstaltungen der Architekturklasse finden in englischer Sprache statt.
The literature on the history of plastic buildings - or buildings made of fiber-reinforced polymer composite - is scarce. The book, Kunststoffbauten: Teil 1: Die Pioniere, is a precious contribution to this literature, and on Thursday 24.01., the authors, Elke Genzel and Pamela Voigt, present the book in a double-bill lecture.
Particularly the first historical phase, lasting from about the mid-1950s to the international oil-crisis in 1973, is important and interesting. The period included the first ever buildings with these materials and comprised aesthetic and cultural dimensions reflecting the groundbreaking advances that underlie phenomena such as "the Space Age." It is precisely this period that Genzel and Voigt address, and they examine the architectural results in a dual fashion with parallel chapters on, respectively, the architecture and the engineering of select buildings.
The lectures of Genzel and Voigt present accompanying material to the current lecture series that attempts to unfold the contemporary status of material, geometry and design. In fact, the subject of Genzel and Voigt, is a fundamental pivot point in recent architectural history. The history of fiber-reinforced polymer composites, despite the renaissance of these materials and material culture at large in architecture, remain a hidden treasure for a new and alternative approach to architectural production.

LAST WORD ... / MICHAELA MELIAN / GEORGE JERONIMIDIS
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
Discussion
Last Word on Ben van Berkel and The Theatre of Immanence
Saturday, 12 January, 17h, Portikus, Alte Brücke 2 / Maininsel
with Peter Schmal (Director DAM), Prof. Nikolaus Hirsch, Prof. Achim Menges, and Prof. Harald Kloft.
Moderated by Luis Etchegorry and Johan Bettum.
Alle Veranstaltungen der Architekturklasse finden in englischer Sprache statt.
The “Theatre of Immanence", was developed as an interface for various forms of communication and exchange. The sum total of this layered and complex space is first and foremost driven and enabled by technology. From the design process to the merging of dynamic image flows and the physical construction, from the virtual domain of the Internet to the reality of the gallery space, the many spatial modes of "the Theatre" are the result of a current, massive technological pressure on all forms of design, making and living.
The two main questions are:
- In light of the contemporary technological pressure on architectural production, is "the Theatre of Immanence" a relevant model for contemporary and future architecture?
- What relevance does a material, structural and technological preoccupation hold for architecture with respect to other issues, first and foremost, the social and cultural dimensions of an architecture that seems increasingly driven by technological concerns?
The exhibition and the project is supported by Deutsche Telekom. Thanks also to Vitra, Royal Netherlands Embassy and Heinz und Gisela Friederichs Stiftung.
Michaela Melian: Schleifen und Spiralen
Dienstag, 15 Januar, 19 Uhr, Aula
Das Dingbar-Machen von flüchtigen Geschichten, das Einschreiben von scheinbar zufälligen Ereignissen, die sich aufgrund ungünstiger Machtverhältnisse und Hierarchien in Luft aufgelöst haben und nie Teil des kulturellen Gedächtnisses wurden, ist ein wichtiger Motor für Melián. "Wie kann man eine andere Form von Denkmalstruktur schaffen, die nichts Didaktisches hat oder konkret irgendjemandem dient - das sind die Fragen, die ich mir stelle", so die Künstlerin. Z.B. in ihrer Installation zu Hedy Lamarr, der aus Nazi-Österreich geflohenen Hollywood-Schönheit, die mit ihrem Patent zum Frequency Hopping für den Funkverkehr amerikanischer Kriegs-U-Boote einen wichtigen Beitrag zur heutigen Mobilfunktechnologie leistete, wurde einer dieser vergessenen Kulturbeiträge wieder ans Licht geholt.
Michaela Melián ist Künstlerin und Musikerin, sie lebt und arbeitet in Deutschland. Seit 27 Jahren ist Michaela Melián Bassistin und Sängerin der Avantgarde Band F.S.K. (Freiwillige Selbstkontrolle), 2004 veröffentlichte sie Ihr erstes Solo-Album "Baden-Baden", dem jetzt "Los Angeles" folgte. Zur Zeit lehrt sie als Gastprofessorin an der Hochschule für Bildende Künste in Hamburg.

George Jeronimidis, University of Reading, Centre for Biomimetics: Structural Fibrous Architectures in Biology
Thursday, 17 January, 19h, Aula
Alle Veranstaltungen der Architekturklasse finden in englischer Sprache statt.
George Jeronimidis is professor of composite material engineering and director of the Centre for Biomimetics, - which 1992 he set up with Professor J.F.V. Vincent.-, and a leading international authority in this field. Biomimetics (or bionics, biognosis, or biomimicry) is the application of biological methods and systems found in nature to the study and design of engineering systems. The field emerged and got its name during the 1950s and has of recently become an important influence on various forms of design outside engineering, including architecture.
Since biomimetics is concerned with the mechanical response of living organisms to internal and external forces, the lessons that can be had from it may be of great use in an approach to architecture that embraces complexity and engages with advanced material systems. Fibre-reinforced, composite material systems are central in this context, and Jeronimidis will address these types of material systems as they exist in nature. His past and current research interests cover biomimetics, plant and animal biomechanics, smart materials and structures, bio-inspired sensing systems, renewable materials from plants, mechanics and design aspects of composites. The common thread between these superficially unrelated research areas is the added functionality which can be incorporated into man-made designs exploiting fibrous architectures.
During the last few years, he has been involved in teaching at the Architectural Association in London, specifically in the Emergent Technologies program.

GREGOR ZIMMERMANN
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
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.
Gregor Zimmermann, GTecz: Two Case Studies: Materiality - Geometry
Thursday, 10 January, 19h, Portikus, Alte Brücke 2 / Maininsel
Alle Veranstaltungen der Architekturklasse finden in englischer Sprache statt.
On this coming Thursday, Gregor Zimmermann, engineer and partner in G.tecz based in Kassel, gives a lecture in the Theatre of Immanence in Portikus on topics related to materials and geometry.
After studying civil engineering in Karlsruhe and working for the firm, Ingenieurplanung Leichtbau, Zimmermann recently completed his Ph.D. at Kassel University on the topic of membrane concrete grid shells. With partner, Thomas Teichmann, he set up the firm, G.tecz (German technologies and engineering concepts) in 2007, specialising in material and construction know-how related to these specific concrete structures.
Previous projects by Zimmermann includes the engineering design for the football stadium in Mönchengladbach for Ingenieurplanung Leichtbau and D-Tower for Bollinger & Grohmann, the latter with architectural design by Lars Spuybroek/NOX and the artist Q.S. Serafijn.
Zimmermann’s lecture spans between the fixed geometric premise set by the architecture of the D-Tower and new types of design environment wherein material systems allows for new forms of geometry and construction to emerge. In the case of the D-Tower, the engineering design must optimise a given, fixed geometry through a clever engagement of materials. The ten metre high D-Tower in Doetinchem (NL) was realised with pre-fabricated composite panels with a sectional thickness varying from 3 to 9 mm. The composite panels were made from glass-fibre and epoxy.
The other, more radical approach is to let select material systems influence and guide the architectural design process. In these cases, engineering and architectural design are confluent without collapsing into one another, and the project geometry is an emergent property given by the material properties and design intentions, not an a priori result of isolated design intentions.
Zimmermann’s lecture includes examples of both strategies and sets out one of the fundamental challenges to contemporary architecture and construction practices.

The ten metre high D-Tower in Doetinchem (NL) was realised with pre-fabricated composite panels with a sectional thickness varying from 3 to 9 mm. The composite panels were made from glass-fibre and epoxy.
The other, more radical approach is to let select material systems influence and guide the architectural design process. In these cases, engineering and architectural design are confluent without collapsing into one another, and the project geometry is an emergent property given by the material properties and design intentions, not an a priori result of isolated design intentions.
Zimmermann’s lecture includes examples of both strategies and sets out one of the fundamental challenges to contemporary architecture and construction practices.
