Ausstellungseröffnung
Jana Euler, Anne Imhof, Cosima von Bonin, Lucie Stahl: Restlessness in the Barn
Samstag, 29. Juni 2013, 17 Uhr, Kunstverein Wiesbaden, mit einem Konzert von Anne Imhof um 19 Uhr
Ausstellungsdauer: 30. Juni bis 14. Juli 2013
Kuratiert von Oona-Léa von Maydell
Die Werke der vier an der Ausstellung beteiligten Künstlerinnen unterschiedlicher Generationen umfassen ein weites Spektrum. Die Grenze zwischen dem, was innerhalb und außerhalb des Bildrahmens passiert, gestaltet sich bei den in der Ausstellung präsentierten Werken fließend. Die Ausstellung umfasst Film, Video und Fotografie sowie Musik und Performance, verschiedene Definitionen von Malerei, Posterdruck und skulpturaler Praxis die diametral gegenübergestellt wird. Verschiedene Aspekte des permanenten Verwandlungsprozesses des Künstlertypen sollen auf diese Weise beleuchtet werden.
Cosima von Bonin entwirft seit 1990 die Plakate zu ihren Ausstellungen selbst. Zum ersten Mal wird hier die vollständige Plakatsammlung ihrer Einzelausstellungen gezeigt. Somit wird dieses Konvolut vollständig präsentiert und ermöglicht einen erweiterten Einblick in ihre Arbeit.
Mit der Portraitreihe von Jana Euler gewinnt die Ausstellung zusätzlich viele Gesichter: Dietrich Ceccaldi, Ruth Suckale, Wolfgang Koschmieder, Daniel Gnom, Harald Waechtler und Werner Denny heißen die Protagonisten. Ein zentrales Moment in ihrer gegenständlichen Malerei ist die Erschaffung von Identität.
Über Lucie Stahl schreibt Chris Kraus in dem Künstlerbuch Plakate Posters (Berlin, 2011): „Ich habe Lucie noch nie getroffen, aber wir leben in derselben Welt: Oellecks, Palmwedel, Schlüsselringe, Sportgetränke. So wie ich, ist sie eine selbst ernannte Reporterin. Stahls Poster beginnen mit ihrem seltsamen Hang dazu, zufällig aufgeschnappte Gesprächsfetzen, Hintergrundgedanken und flüchtige Beklemmungen aufzuschreiben.“
Am Abend der Eröffnung wird Anne Imhof ein Konzert spielen. Zudem werden von ihr zwei Videoarbeiten und eine Malerei vorgestellt und eine Malerei die eine Komposition zeigt. In ihrer Arbeit lotet sie die Grenzen zwischen Tanz und Performance aus. Viel mehr versteht sie ihre Arbeit als eine konzipierte Komposition.
Die Ausstellung ist das Abschlussprojekt von Oona-Léa von Maydell im Masterstudiengang Curatorial and Critical Studies der Goethe Universität und der Städelschule Frankfurt am Main. Selbst Künstlerin und Kuratorin ist es nicht in Maydells Interesse als Ausstellungsmacherin präkonzipierte Lösungen zu formulieren, sondern mit den eingeladenen Künstlerinnen und ihren Werken den Versuch einer gemeinsamen Findung zu beschreiben.

Jürgen Mayer H.: Could Should Would
Donnerstag, 20. Juni 2013, 19 Uhr, Aula
After having studied architecture at Stuttgart University, the Cooper Union in New York and Princeton University, Jürgen Mayer H. founded his architectural firm in Berlin in 1996. About their work, the office states that it is situated ‘...at the intersection of architecture, communication and new technology. From urban planning schemes and buildings to installation work and objects with new materials, the relationship between the human body, technology and nature form the background for a new production of space.’ This has a resulted in a distinct style with a subtle emphasis on the profile of the buildings and a frequent, continuous flow across and through the surface envelopes.
Among Jürgen Mayer H.’s recent and much published buildings are the Metropol Parasol in Sevilla, Spain, and the New Airport Building in Mestia, Georgia. Both MoMA New York and SF MoMA have collected work by the office, and it is the recipient of numerous prizes, including: the Mies van der Rohe Award Emerging Architect (Special Mention, 2003), Holcim Award Bronze (2005) and Audi Urban Future Award (2010).

Pamela Lee: Pattern Recognition circa 1947
Mittwoch, 19. Juni 2013, 19 Uhr, Aula
Pamela M. Lee is Professor of Modern and Contemporary Art in the Department of Art and Art History at Stanford University, Stanford, California. She is the author of *Object to Be Destroyed: The Work of Gordon Matta-Clark* (The MIT Press,2001); *Chronophobia: On Time in the Art of the1 1960s* (The MIT Press, 2004); *Forgetting the Art World* (The MIT Press, 2012); and most recently, *New Games: Postmodernism after Contemporary Art* (Routledge, 2012). Professor Lee is an art historian and critic whose work variously considers the relationship between art and technology, politics and aesthetics. She is a frequent contributor to magazines and journals such as Artforum, Texte zur Kunst, OCTOBER and Grey Room. Her current research concerns the aesthetic interests of the cold-war think tank as a reactionary model for interdisciplinary thinking and visual culture studies, and its implications for the art and the academy today.
"Pattern Recognition circa 1947" throws new light on an episode in the recent history of art: namely, the relationship between abstract expressionism, the cold war and mid-century anthropology. While a considerable literature on New York School painting describes anthropology's investment in such work in terms of terms of its primitivist sensibilities, Lee offers a radically new approach to the topic, considering the ways in which a Jackson Pollock might license approaches to the visual image formulated in the cold-war think tank. In particular she considers the work of Ruth Benedict, Margaret Mead and their colleagues at the RAND Corporation to unpack the novel new techniques and methods deployed by social scientists to test the range of contemporary visual culture from "high" art to popular culture.

André Rottmann
Vortrag
André Rottmann: Spectacle and Speculation. The Tactics of John Knight.
Montag, 10. Juni 2013, 19 Uhr, Aula
On the occasion of John Knight’s current exhibition at Portikus, the lecture discusses two earlier, closely interrelated projects by the Los Angeles-based artist, both of which are based on the appropriation of media images. These works, each in its own way, address the history of US politics in the Cold War period: Worldebt (1994-2008) consists of slightly oversized credit cards issued tose the nation states in debt to the IWF and displaying images from the respective country; the work chronicles the development of the global economic system established at Bretton Woods in 1944 and by the same token, it would seem, defines the art work itself as an object of financial speculation; the installation Coldcuts (2008) conflates information on covet military interventions executed by the CIA after World War II with cookbook recipes from these "areas of operation" in a spectacular exhibition design. In tracing the shared genealogy of these two works (as well as in view of other topical projects by the artist), the talk will make the attempt to gain further insights into Knight's radical redefinition of the categories of site, image, medium and object in contemporary art and the concomitant dialectic of spectacle and speculation.
André Rottmann is an art historian and critic based in Berlin; he is a research fellow at the Institute of Advanced Study “BildEvidenz. Geschichte und Ästhetik” and a lecturer at the Department for Art History at the Freie Universität Berlin; currently, he is working on a comprehensive monograph on the work of John Knight and is the editor a collection of essays devoted to the artist (forthcoming in the OCTOBER Files series, MIT Press); his essays and reviews regularly appear in journals such as Texte zur Kunst and Artforum as well as in anthologies and exhibition catalogues (most recently on Nairy Baghramian, Florian Pumhösl, and Gabriel Orozco).

Simon Critchley
Vortrag
Simon Critchley: Die Hamletlehre - knowing too much, doing nothing
Donnerstag, 6. Juni 2013, 16 Uhr, Aula
Simon Critchley is the Hans Jonas Professor of Philosophy at the New School for Social Research. He also teaches at Tilburg University and the European Graduate School. His many books include Very Little...Almost Nothing, Infinitely Demanding, The Faith of the Faithless, and The Book of Dead Philosophers, which made The New York Times bestseller list. He is series moderator of “The Stone,” a philosophy column in The New York Times, to which he is a frequent contributor.
In their book 'Stay Illusion! The Hamlet Doctrine' Simon Critchley and Jamieson Webster go in search of a particularly modern drama that is as much about ourselves as it is a product of Shakespeare’s imagination. They also offer a startling interpretation of the action onstage: it is structured around “nothing” — or, in the enigmatic words of the player queen, “it nothing must.”. Avoiding the customary clichés about the timelessness of the Bard, Critchley and Webster show the timely power of Hamlet to cast light on the intractable dilemmas of human existence in a world that is rotten and out of joint.
