Performance
Nora Schultz
Freitag, 13. Juli 2012, 19 Uhr, Portikus
Nora Schultz’s show is the first solo exhibition to occupy the lower as well as the temporary upper floor at Portikus. She uses the duality within the space to develop parallel production cycles composed of sculptural sound works and printing installations that repeatedly intersect over the course of the show. Schultz’s work examines the genesis of pictorial representation and production as an artistic dynamic. She is less interested in the finished work than in how images and objects come into being and in the physical traces that process leaves behind. The actualities of production accordingly play a central role in her prints, printing machines, installations, and performances; process always remains legible.
For the second time since the opening of the exhibition, Nora Schultz will present a performance. She activates the "Portikus Printing Plant" in order to produce additional prints to be displayed in a new exhibition layout. The exhibition continues to change and evolve during its course, which further underlines the artist's interest in visualizing production processes.
Nora Schultz (1975) was born in Frankfurt and lives in Berlin. From 1998 to 2005, she was studying at the Städelschule with Christa Näher and then in the class of Mark Leckey. 2011 she was awarded the scholarship Villa Romana in Florence. Some exhibitions: Ecstatic Alphabets/Heaps of Language, MoMA; Flaca/Tom Humphreys, Portikus (2011); Non-Solo Show, Non-group Show, Kunsthalle Zürich; Nora Schultz, Reena Spaulings (2008); The Metal Magazine, Galerie Meerrettich (2006).

Alejandro Zaera-Polo
Dean´s Honorary Lecture
Städelschule Architecture Class (SAC)
Alejandro Zaera-Polo: Envelopes
Donnerstag, 12. Juli 2012, 19 Uhr, Deutsches Architekturmuseum
The Dean's Honorary Lecture 2012 is given by Alejandro Zaera-Polo, Professor and Dean of Princeton University School of Architecture. Zaera-Polo came to international prominence in 2002 with the completion of the Yokohama Ferry Port Terminal. Since, while being at Foreign Office Architects, and, of recently, since founding Alejandro Zaera-Polo Architecture (AZPA), his work includes projects, such as, Birmingham New Street Redevelopment, Birmingham UK (2007-), BioPol Science Centre in Barcelona, Spain (2011-), Ravensbourne college on the Greenwich Peninsula, London (2005-) and many more. Zaera-Polo has had a prolific theoretical output. Experience with practice has turned his theoretical interest from a materialist critique of architecture to more practical concerns, such as a various forms of production that affects the practice of architecture. This includes looking to globalisation, information technology and organisational structures as well as iconography and representation in the cultural and political role of architecture. His theoretical work has been widely published and includes the book, Phylogenesis: foa’s ark, Actar, Barcelona (2003). The practical and theoretical speculations and experience have been exercised in teaching at schools, such as, Yale University School of Architecture, Princeton University School of Architecture, the AA in London - where he was unit master for eight years, and the Berlage Institute in Rotterdam - where he was the dean from 2002-5. This spring, he was elected Dean of Princeton University School of Architecture.

Karl Holmqvist
Vortrag
Karl Holmqvist: Word Text Vortex
Dienstag, 10. Juli 2012, 19 Uhr, Aula
In his upcoming lecture at the Staedelschule, Karl Holmqvist will read excerpts from his new artist's book 'K which has just been recently published, while further attempting to establish possible links between writing and contemporary art. With a view of spoken word as performance, and a type of 'invisible visual arts' where the images are made up inside the listeners' minds, Karl Holmqvist will use techniques such as quotations of more or less familiar sources, repetition and ambiguity of meaning in order to point to the wide range of language's reach. All art can be said to be an act of communication–and of communion, tracing it back to its semi-ritualistic roots.
Karl Holmqvist has lectured, performed and exhibited since the early nineties, most recently with Kunsthalle Zurich and Bergen Kunsthall who are the joint publishers of his artist's book 'K together with JRP-Ringier. Last year Karl Holmqvist´s work was shown at the IllumiNations section of the 54th Venice Biennial (curated by Bice Curiger). This spring he was included in the Ecstatic Alphabets-Heaps Of Language exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and in a oneperson exhibition Words Are People at Alex Zachary Peter Currie also in New York.

Renzo Martens
Vortrag
Renzo Martens: On the Institute for Human Activities
Mittwoch, 4. Juli 2012, 19 Uhr Aula
In the transfer of critical art from a zone of intervention to a zone of reception, a gap seems to arise. This gap seems to be very similar to the division between labor and profit in other globalized industries. Art may expose the need for change in Nigeria or Peru, but in the end it brings opportunity, beauty, and real estate value to Berlin-Mitte, or Chelsea and the Lower East Side in New York.
Eight hundred kilometers upstream from Kinshasa, on the river Congo, the Institute for Human Activities mobilizes the modalities of art production and launches a five-year Gentrification Program.
Renzo Martens is an artist who lives in Brussels. His work was shown at Tate Modern, The Berlin Biennial, Stedelijk Museum, Van Abbemuseum, as well as on TV.

Helmut Krausser
Vortrag
Helmut Krausser: Für kurze Zeit unsterblich - Aufstieg und Fall des Alberto Franchetti
Dienstag, 3. Juli 2012, 19 Uhr Aula
Wie konnte es geschehen, daß der einstige größte Rivale Puccinis, der immerhin drei Welterfolge verbuchen konnte, so beinahe komplett aus dem Gedächtnis der Menschheit gelöscht war, bevor die Deutsche Oper Berlin im Jahr 2006 die "Germania" des Komponisten Franchetti auf die Bühne brachte. Wie konnte es geschehen, daß diese großartige Musik von vielen Kritikern mit Hohn und Spott bedacht wurde, als müsse man dem Juden Franchetti zum zweiten Mal Aufführungsverbot erteilen? Und auf welche Schwierigkeiten stößt man, wenn man es sich in den Kopf gesetzt hat, zusammen mit ein paar wenigen Mitstreitern, dieses Unrecht zu revidieren? Um diese Fragen dreht sich mein Vortrag, der in der Sache auch für jene interessant werden dürfte, die mit klassischer Musik nicht viel am Hut haben.
Helmut Krausser, Jahrgang 1964, lebt in Potsdam und Rom. Bekannt wurde er als Romancier, Lyriker und Dramatiker. Mit über fünfzig Büchern gilt er als produktivster Autor seiner Generation. Zwei seiner Romane wurden verfilmt. Er engagiert sich stark für die Wiederentdeckung des von den Faschisten verfemten Komponisten Alberto Franchetti.
Die Veranstaltung findet in deutscher Sprache statt.

Lecture series of the Hessischen Theaterakademie in the realm of Festival der jungen Talente!
Thursday, July 5, 2012, 7 pm, Simon Denny, Information Design Attempts, (in English)
Location: Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst, room A 208
D-60322 Frankfurt am Main
http://www.hessische-theaterakademie.de/
In his installations Simon Denny has worked with the relics and ruins of past media formats - for example, the development from box-shaped monitors to the contemporary LCD monitors and the aesthetics and forms which arose out of the use of these instruments - some of which have long since become obsolete. In his publication „Envisaging Vocational Rehabilitation” published this spring he underlined the effects and sometimes inflationary and function-negating use of design-tools may have. In his lecture at Hessische Theaterakademie he will present his way of working which could be seen to be based on a quasi-archeological approach to the objects, instruments and reality of media, which seem to always be directed towards the future.
Simon Denny is a visual artist and lives in Berlin. In addition to group exhibitions at Kunsthaus Bregenz, Kunstwerke Berlin (both 2011), Malmö Konsthall, Witte de With, Rotterdam (both 2010) and at Sydney Biennale 2008, he presented group exhibitions at Aspen Art Museum (2012), at Aachener Kunstverein (2011) and Halle für Kunst Lüneburg (2010). Beyond that he developed the settings for overview exhibitions at ICA London (2012) and Kölnischer Kunstverein (2010). Simon Denny is being represented by Michael Lett, Auckland, Galerie Daniel Buchholz, Köln and Berlin, and Friedrich Petzel Gallery, New York.

Ringvorlesung der Hessischen Theaterakademie zum Festival der jungen Talente!
Donnerstag, 5.7.2012, 19 Uhr, Simon Denny, Information Design Attempts, (Vortrag in englischer Sprache)
Ort: Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst, Raum A 208

http://www.hessische-theaterakademie.de/
Simon Denny beschäftigt sich in seinen Installationen mit den Relikten und Ruinen vergangener Medienutopien, beispielsweise mit der Entwicklung vom Kasten- zum Flachbildmonitor und Ästhetik und Formen, die aus dem Gebrauch dieser Apparate hervorgegangen, von denen einige aber längst obsolet geworden sind. In seiner im Frühjahr veröffentlichten Publikation „Envisaging Vocational Rehabilitation” demonstriert er, welche Blüten der inflationäre und Funktionalität negierende Gebrauch von Designtools treiben kann. In der Ringvorlesung der Hessischen Theaterakademie stellt er seine Arbeitsweise vor, von der man meinen könnte, sie beruhe auf einer nahezu archäologischen Annäherung an eine mediale, scheinbar stets auf eine Zukunft ausgerichtete Wirklichkeit, ihre Apparaturen und Objekte.

Neben Gruppenausstellungen im Kunsthaus Bregenz, in den Kunstwerken Berlin (beide 2011), in der Malmö Konsthall, bei Witte de With in Rotterdam (beide 2010) und bei der Sydney Biennale 2008, präsentierte er Einzelausstellungen im Aspen Art Museum (2012) im Aachener Kunstverein (2011) und in der Halle für Kunst Lüneburg (2010).
