Paul Elliman: Body Alive with Signals
Dienstag, 1. Juli 2014, 19 Uhr, Aula
Paul Elliman *1961 lives and works in London. He will give an informal talk about recent and current work, and his interests in forms of processed language following the human voice, for example, through many of its social and technological guises, often imitating other languages and sounds of the city. As a commissioned artist for the New York biennial Performa 09 his project Sirens Taken for Wonders involved a series of siren-walks through the city on the hunt for emergency vehicle alerts. In 2012 a selection from his typographical archive of discarded letter-like machine parts and found objects was included in the exhibition ‘Ecstatic Alphabets/Heaps of Language’ curated by Laura Hoptman at New York's Museum of Modern Art. In 2013 he published Untitled (September Magazine), a 600 page glossy magazine using found images to explore connections between language and gesture.
Paul Elliman has exhibited internationally, including the XII Baltic Triennial, CAC, Vilnius, LT (2014); KUMU Kunstimuuseum, Tallinn, ES (2013); castillo/coralles, Paris, FR (2013); Henry Art Gallery, Seattle, US (2012-13); Museum of Modern Art, New York, US (2012); Glasgow Centre for Contemporary Art, Glasgow (2011); Marres Centre for Contemporary Art, Maastricht, NL (2010); and Performa, New York, US (2009). He currently has a solo exhibition at Objectif in Antwerp and is taking part in Journal at the ICA in London, curated by Matt Williams.
Die Veranstaltung findet in englischer Sprache statt.

Peter Fischli & Hans-Ulrich Obrist: Why Airports?
Gespräch
Peter Fischli und Hans-Ulrich Obrist: Why airports?
Samstag, 28. Juni 2014, 16 Uhr, Aula
In Zusammenarbeit mit SAC – Städelschule Architecture Class.
Mit freundlicher Unterstützung durch Pro Helvetia, Schweizer Kulturstiftung.
Peter Fischli and Hans-Ulrich Obrist will talk about the exhibition Lucius Burckhardt and Cedric Price – A stroll through a fun palace at the Swiss Pavilion, curated by Obrist in frame of the 14th International Architecture Exhibition – la Biennale di Venezia 2014.
In a digital time of unlimited access to information, where everyone can be an architect, a curator, an intellectual thinker, Obrist revisits the recent past of architecture through retrospectives of Lucius Burckhardt (1925–2003) and Cedric Price (1934–2003), reflecting on its future in the 21st century. Lucius Burckhardt was a Swiss political economist, sociologist, art historian and planning theorist, known as founding father of ‘strollology’ – his science of the walk. He pioneered an interdisciplinary analysis of man-made environments, discussing both the visible and invisible aspects of our cities, landscapes, political processes and social relations, as well as the long-term effects of design and planning decisions. Cedric Price was guided by a fundamental belief that architecture must ‘enable people to think the unthinkable’. His project Fun Palace (1960–61), conceived as a ‘laboratory of fun’ and ‘university of the streets’, though never realised, established him as one of the UK’s most innovative and thought-provoking architects.
Hans Ulrich Obrist *1968 in Zurich, Switzerland, is co-director of the Serpentine Galleries, London. Prior to this, he was the Curator of the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris. Since his first show ‘World Soup’ (The Kitchen Show) in 1991 he has curated more than 250 exhibitions. Obrist’s recent publications include A Brief History of Curating, Project Japan: Metabolism Talks with Rem Koolhaas, Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Curating But Were Afraid to Ask, Do It: The Compendium, Think Like Clouds, Ai Weiwei Speaks, Sharp Tongues – Loose Lips – Open Eyes – Ears to the Ground, along with new volumes of his Conversation Series.
Peter Fischli *1952 in Switzerland is an artist based in Zurich and Professor for Fine Art at the Städelschule since 2013.

Richard Mosse: The Enclave
Vortrag und Filmvorführung
Richard Mosse
Dienstag, 24. Juni, 19 Uhr, Aula
In his presentation Richard Mosse will go through his forty minute video installation, The Enclave, scene by scene, discussing context, background, and intent.
The Enclave is the culmination of Mosse’s four year project working in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. The Enclave comprises six monumental double-sided screens installed in a large darkened chamber creating a physically immersive experience. This disorienting and kaleidoscopic installation is intended to formally parallel eastern Congo’s multifaceted conflict, confounding expectations and forcing the viewer to interact spatially from an array of differing viewpoints. Its haunting, visceral soundscape is layered spatially by twelve-point surround sound, composed by Ben Frost from recordings gathered in North and South Kivu. It is a looping, non-linear narrative which documents civilians fleeing massacre, Mai Mai militia preparing for battle, as well as M23 rebels moving on, fighting for, and finally taking the city of Goma. This humanitarian disaster unfolds in a landscape of extraordinary beauty, on the shores of Lake Kivu, which Mosse records using a discontinued military film technology originally designed in WWII to reveal camouflaged enemy installations. This film registers an invisible spectrum of infrared light, rendering the green landscape in vivid hues of lavender, crimson, and pink. Mosse employed this film to document a humanitarian disaster in which 5.4 million people have died since 1998, yet which is largely overlooked by the mass media. Frequent massacres, human rights violations, and widespread sexual violence remain unaccounted for. In a kind of advocacy of seeing, Mosse attempts to cast this forgotten tragedy in a new spectrum of light.
Mosse was born in 1980 in Ireland. He earned an MFA in Photography from Yale School of Art in 2008 and a PG Dip from Goldsmiths in 2005. Mosse represented Ireland at the 2013 Venice Biennale with The Enclave, for which he won the Deutsche Börse Photography Prize. Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting co-published his first monograph, Infra. His second monograph, The Enclave, was published by Aperture Foundation. Mosse is a recipient of Yale’s Poynter Fellowship in Journalism (2014), the B3 Award at the Frankfurt Biennale (2013), an ECAS Commission (2013), the Guggenheim Fellowship (2011), and a Leonore Annenberg Fellowship (2008-2010). Foreign Policy Magazine listed Mosse as a Leading Global Thinker of 2013.
