Vortrag
Douglas Gordon (& special guests): DOLCE AND GABBANA OR…
Mittwoch, 27. November 2013, 19 Uhr, Aula
Douglas Gordon, born 1966 in Glasgow, Scotland, is one of the most influential contemporary video artists. Performances, sculptural installations and conceptual texts also number among his modes of expression. With his analyses and reconstructions of images drawn from collective memory and everyday culture, he lays bare fundamental patterns of perception. His oeuvre is dominated by polarities such as life and death, good and evil, guilt and innocence, as well as temptation and fear. Gordon won the Turner Prize in 1996 among many other art prizes and the following year he participated in the Venice Biennale.
He is Professor of Film at the Städelschule since 2010.

Vortrag
Kerstin Skrobanek: It started with a postcard: 1960s event scores between material production and conceptual art
Dienstag, 26. November 2013, 19 Uhr, Aula
In the 1960s a new category of artistic production emerged: the so called "event score", invented by Fluxus artists such as Yoko Ono, George Brecht and Benjamin Patterson. These little paper cards were not only scores for Fluxus performances but complex works which melt together the visual arts, music, poetry and theatre. These cheaply made cards refuse being precious artworks on one hand, but on the other they are not just a note on a piece of paper: Artists precisely composed their appearance and their content and created a multilayered piece of art which is not necessarily linked to a live performance. The presentation will give a survey of different kinds of event scores, will show some of their roots and will think about their role in art history after 1960.
Dr. Kerstin Skrobanek studied Art History, Applied Theatre Sciences, Archeology and the Classics in Giessen, Marburg and Thessaloniki. After a master thesis about Eva Hesse she again concentrated on the 1960s and 70s with her doctoral thesis about Mary Bauermeister and she received her PhD from Prof. Dr. Regine Prange at Goethe-University Frankfurt in 2010. Since then she worked as a museum curator at the Wilhelm-Hack-Museum in Ludwigshafen and succeeded her interest in art of the 60s and 70s with shows about Mary Bauermeister or a recently finished research project about the phenomenon of the Multiple. During the past years she published many books and articles e.g. about Yoko Ono (Schirn Kunsthalle), prints of the 1960s and 70s (Museum der Bildenden Künste Leipzig) or contemporary French art (Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe).
Kerstin Skrobanek lives and works as an independent curator and publisher in Mannheim.

Chris Kraus
Vortrag
Chris Kraus: Jason Rhoades, American Artist
Mittwoch, 6. November 2013, 19 Uhr, Aula
Recently, the ICA Philadelphia showed four installations by Jason Rhoades to be navigated by four interpretive paths or roads: Jason Rhoades, American Artist; Jason the Mason, (a biographical thread named for a childhood nickname); systems (language, scale, indexing, economies), and taboo. The exhibition aims to open up for investigation Rhoades's spectacular, overloaded installations. Immediately accessible and eye-catching, these works are at the same time deeply systematic, detailed, and rewarding of careful engagement. Using neon, plastic buckets, power tools, snaking wires, figurines, sound, and a vast range of other materials, including a V-8 engine, Rhoades's work brings the viewer in with humor, vibrancy, and the provocative audacity of his vision. Rhoades' prodigious work has always been intensely physical, gleefully vulgar, "offensive," but at the same time as affect-less as the demeanor of an idiot savant or made-for-TV serial killer.
Chris Kraus is presenting a lecture on the artist Jason Rhoades. It was originally given at the ICA. She is a writer, filmmaker, and professor of film at Eupean Graduate School in Saas-Fee. She is well known for her role as an influential film and video maker in the New York Downtown scene of the mid eighties. Kraus’ firm attention to specifically women writers is responsible for Semiotext(e), Native Agents Imprint to be a platform for groundbreaking avant-garde work. Writer and filmmaker, Chris Kraus has explored a variety of different subjects ranging from feminism, gender politics, sex workers, philosophy and love.

Vortrag
Susanne Gaensheimer: Der Deutsche Pavillon in Venedig: Ai Weiwei, Romuald Karmakar, Santu Mofokeng und Dayanita Singh
Dienstag, 5. November 2013, 18 Uhr, Campus Bockenheim, Jügelhaus HB
Masterstudiengang Kuratieren und Kritik
Susanne Gaensheimer setzt in dem Konzept für den diesjährigen Deutschen Pavillon auf der 55. Internationalen Kunstausstellung – La Biennale di Venezia 2013 die kritische Beschäftigung mit der Bedeutung der traditionellen Form nationaler Repräsentation in den Länderpavillons fort, die sie bereits in der Zusammenarbeit mit Christoph Schlingensief für den Deutschen Pavillon 2011 begonnen hatte. Die Kuratorin schlägt vor, das Format des Länderpavillons als ein offenes Konzept und Deutschland nicht als hermetische nationale Einheit, sondern als aktiven Teil eines komplexen, weltweiten Netzwerkes zu verstehen. Aus diesem Grund hat Susanne Gaensheimer vier internationale KünstlerInnen aus unterschiedlichen Ländern eingeladen: Ai Weiwei, Romuald Karmakar, Santu Mofokeng und Dayanita Singh.
Susanne Gaensheimer ist Kunsthistorikerin und Direktorin des MMK Museum für Moderne Kunst in Frankfurt am Main. Sie ist (zum zweiten Mal nach 2011) Kuratorin für den Deutschen Pavillon auf der 55. Biennale in Venedig 2013.
