Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
Performance Lecture
"A BOHEMIAN LOBOTOMY“
Mittwoch, 27 Juni, 19 Uhr, Halle
Video und Performance von und mit "K2 Aufbau Organisation".
KünstlerInnen der Klasse Stephan Dillemuth
Zum Rahmenprogramm der letzten Frieze Kunstmesse (2006) hat der Filmkurator Ian White ein Programm zusammengestellt, das sich mit experimentellem Kino und „expanded cinema“ auseinandersetzt. K2 Aufbau Organisation, ein loser Zusammenschluss Münchener Künstlerinnen und Künstler, hat für diese Einladung verschiedene Formate, Interviewsequenzen, Dokumentarmaterial und Dokumente eigener Inszenierungen mit Live-Performance-Einlagen kombiniert und unter dem Titel Bohemian Lobotomy zur Aufführung gebracht. Damit ist K2 Aufbau Organisation nun auf Tour, mit einem Zwischenhalt in der Galerie für Landschaftskunst.
Bohemian Lobotomy untersucht „the impact of lifestyle as the new ideology of self-fulfilment“ vor dem Hintergrund der Münchener Boheme am Anfang des 20. Jahrhundert, die uns nicht nur mit „Fin de siecle“ und Blauer Reiter beglückte, sondern auch friedlich eine Räterepublik durchsetzte.

ART AND COMMUNISM: K. STAKEMEIER, K. DIEFENBACH & CHTO DELAT?
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
A student organized discussion event on terms and prospects of artistic practice based on investigations on the past and presence of art and communism.
Art and Communism
Monday, 18 June, 19 h, Aula
Die Veranstaltung findet in englischer Sprache statt.
Kerstin Stakemeier:
"Revolution out of Art - Productivism and Polytechnics"
Kerstin Stakemeier is an author, teacher and curator. Together with Nina Köller she currently curates the exhibition-project “Space of Actualisation Hamburg”. She teaches at Bauhaus University in Weimar.
She will focus on productivist art, in order to investigate on the figure of the polytechnic producer in the context of the Russian revolution of the 1920s as well as in the presence.
Katja Diefenbach:
"Politics of Bohemia - On the Difference between distinguished
Subjectivity and Whatever Singularity"
Katja Diefenbach is an author, teacher and cofounder of the bookstore-collective B_Books Berlin. Currently she teaches at the Jan van Eyck Academy in Maastricht.
She will give a short historical genealogy to depict the conceptions of a politics of bohemia and creative activity in order to formulate a critique of both, the unification of art and life and the idea of a sensual fulfillment of the human being by aesthetic activity. Point of departure is the reemergence of the notion of bohemia in the 1990s political art scene in Germany.
Dimitry Vilensky ('Chto delat?'):
"Temporary Art Soviet"
Founded in early 2003 in Petersburg, the platform Chto delat? / What is to be done? is a space between theory, art, and political activism. The platform's work is coordinated by a workgroup of the same name: members include artists, critics, philosophers, and writers from Petersburg, Moscow, and Nizhny Novgorod.
'Chto delat?' hopes to spark a dialogue of different positions about the politicization of knowledge production and about the place of art and poetics in this process, triggering collaborative initiatives in the form of "temporary art soviets" which are involved in the making of different cultural projects.

MAX BECKMANN PROFESSOR 2007: LUC TUYMANS
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
Luc Tuymans: „I don’t get it“
Sonntag, 3. Juni, 12.00 Uhr: „Arbeit und Praxis“
Montag, 4. Juni, 19.00 Uhr: „Kunstkritik und Institution“
Dienstag, 5. Juni, 19.00 Uhr: „Kunstmarkt und Event“
Städel Museum, Metzler-Saal
Vorträge in deutscher Sprache
Luc Tuymans hat der figurativen Malerei in den letzten Jahren entscheidende Impulse verliehen. In seinen Bildern setzt er sich mit historischen, politischen und religiösen Themen auseinander. Auftritte bei der Biennale in Venedig 2001, der Documenta IX und XI so wie Werkschauen in London und Düsseldorf trugen zur großen Öffentlichkeit bei. In einem kritischen Gespräch möchte Luc Tuymans über die Erfahrungen berichten. Durchaus skeptisch will er die Rolle der Kunstkritik beleuchten, Kultursubventionen und Ausstellungspolitik und die Einflussnahme der Kuratoren aus seinem Blickwinkel darstellen.
Der Maler Luc Tuymans (*1958 Mortsel, Belgien) wird in diesem Jahr zum Stiftungsprofessor des Städel Museums und der Städelschule berufen und tritt damit die Nachfolge des südafrikanischen Künstlers William Kentridge an, an den die Professur erstmals vergeben wurde. Die Stiftung des Städelschen Kunstinstituts ist durch den Stiftungsbrief des Gründers Johann Friedrich Städel von 1815 der Idee verpflichtet, eine öffentlich zugängliche Kunstsammlung mit einer Ausbildungsstätte für junge Künstler zu verbinden. Die 2005 ins Leben gerufene Max Beckmann-Stiftungsprofessur soll diese ursprüngliche Gemeinsamkeit von Sammlung und Lehre, die im Laufe der Zeit durch die Trennung von Museum und Schule in den Hintergrund gerückt ist, neu beleben und neue Synergien zwischen den beiden Institutionen schaffen.
Die Max Beckmann-Stiftungsprofessur wird durch die Unterstützung der ALTANA AG ermöglicht.

Thomas Hirschhorn
Wednesday, 30 May, 19 h, Aula
Die Veranstaltung findet in englischer Sprache statt.
Thomas Hirschhorn plugs himself into the communicative potential of thought discontent with the enforced definitions and limitations of a hyper- capitalist, multinational rhetoric of globalization. Neglecting material worth, his work encompasses diverse sculptural models in an impoverished taste for the product wrappings of consumer industry – aluminum foil, plastic, cardboard and plywood – suspending capitalist desires in a state of constant creative anarchy. In Portikus he exhibited "Ein Kunstwerk, ein Problem" in 1998. With this work, Hirschhorn wanted to give new topicality to a phrase by Robert Walser: "Questions of life are questions of art, and questions of art are questions of life". At the moment his work can be seen in the solo exhibition Stand-alone in Berlin, and Swiss made in Wolfsburg.

Alle Veranstaltungen der Architekturklasse finden in englischer Sprache statt.
Nowadays designing a museum requires the realization that all, mission, structure, audience and environment of this cultural institution have dramatically changed over the last decades. The museum is not only catering to a multitude of interest groups that are completely diverse in their expectations but it is also an institution on an educational mission that goes way beyond its own four walls. Only with an idea of the status quo as well as the direction towards which museums are navigating one can properly tackle the task of developing an adequate solution for the architectural design of this institution.

Bonnie Camplin & Paulina Olowska
Wednesday, 23 May, 19 h, Aula
Die Veranstaltung findet in englischer Sprache statt.
Although Camplin and Olowska work in different mediums and come from different cultural backgrounds, they both continually drawn attention to neglected female protagonists in their drawings, paintings, collages, performances, installations and videos. What is less noted, however, is that their attention to the fantasy of the modern woman reworks as many tenets of feminist critique as it upholds. The presentation will focus on individual selected works of each artist.
Paulina Olowska will discuss projects such as Sie musste die Idee eines Hauses als Metapher verwerfen (She had to reject the idea of a house as a metaphor, 2004) were she produced a series of portraits of formidable figures like Virginia Woolf, Vanessa Bell, Charlotte Perriand and Nina Hamnett, and Hello to you too 2006, a show devoted to the figure of a British pop artist Pauline Boty. Bonnie Camplin will present Colonial Fanny and Get me a Mirror- her recent videos.
There will also screen A like Akarova a new collaborative film that will be premiered In Brussels, and discuss there upcoming joint project in Porticus Salty Water and what of Salty Water which opens on Friday, 25 May 2007.

SYMPOSIUM:
THE NEW ‘MUSEUM’?
Thursday, 24 May, 17 h, Hall
Alle Veranstaltungen der Architekturklasse finden in englischer Sprache statt.
With the steadily increasing pressure of information flow and capital, the status and role of the contemporary museum within the arts as well as other fields are continuously challenged. In the arts, fairs are emerging as ubiquitous events to inject market interest and social flair. The Guggenheim and the Louvre have become export items. Museums at large are prompted to devise new, specific strategies for the dissemination to and entertainment of visitors via the Internet.
Does the museum as an institution, as it emerged over the last couple of centuries, still hold relevance, or should the arts and other fields look elsewhere to formulate a vital form to present previous periods’ collectibles and tomorrow’s cultural gems? And for this ‘elsewhere,’ is the emerging and ever more popular art fair a good model, its current architectural typology as inspiring as your average sitcom?
These and other questions are what will be addressed in the symposium, The New ‘Museum’?, which the Städelschule hosts in order to address one of the more difficult and interesting set of questions that our culture is facing.
Lecturers are:
Emily King, Frieze Magazine
Ben van Berkel, UNStudio / Städelschule
Nicolas V. Iljine, Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation
HG Merz, architect
Volker Rattemeyer, Director Museum Wiesbaden

DR. NEIL MULHOLLAND
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
Dr. Neil Mulholland: 'Parallel Lines'
Wednesday, 16 May, 19 h Aula
Die Veranstaltung findet in englischer Sprache statt.
David Carrier's term 'artwriting' has re-entered Anglophone art criticism in recent years in a way that signals a conservative backlash against his observations. 'Artwriting' is often, inexplicably, used in the derogatory sense, as a means of registering the chagrin of many critics who perceive a 'crisis' in what they regard to be their 'discipline'. Rather than address this alleged crisis on these exhausted terms, I plan to discuss aspects of my own writing and related works as practices that aspire to transgress genres such as 'criticism', 'theory', 'curating' and art practice. I will examine the concept of the 'parallel text' and suggest how art-related writing might go beyond its normative tropes of advocacy, representation and critique by revisiting theories of mise en scene and metafiction.
Dr Neil Mulholland is a writer and Director of the Centre for Visual & Cultural Studies, Edinburgh College of Art.

Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
the Architecture Class presents:
The New Museum?
a series of lectures and events addressing the contemporary status of the museum as a cultural institution and architectural type.
Peter Cachola Schmal, Director Deutsches Architekturmuseum: What Good Are Architecture Museum For?
Thursday, 10 May, 19h, Aula
Alle Veranstaltungen der Architekturklasse finden in englischer Sprache statt.
In the Summer Semester 2007, The Architecture Class invites to a series of lectures and events focusing on the role of the contemporary museum in our culture. The lectures and events accompany ongoing work in the Architectural Class for a series of museum proposals for the Rhein-Main region in Germany.
With the steadily increasing pressure of information flow and capital, the status and role of the contemporary museum within the arts as well as other fields are continuously challenged. In the arts, fairs - whose current architectural typology is as inspiring as your average sitcom - are emerging as ubiquitous events that inject market interest and social flair into the field. The Guggenheim and the Louvre have become export items. Museums at large are prompted to devise new, specific strategies for the dissemination to and entertainment of visitors via the Internet. With these changes, is the museum as an institution for archival purposes and the mere reification of existing culture passé?
What role and whose interests will the museum of tomorrow serve? Does the very institution of the museum, as it emerged over the last couple of centuries, still hold relevance, or should the arts and other fields look elsewhere to formulate a vital form to present previous periods’ collectibles and tomorrow’s cultural gems?
The architecture of the museum is part of this condition. In form and organisation, does the architecture of the museum also need to renewal?
The Städelschule Architecture Class Lecture Series is supported by the Architekten- und Stadtplanerkammer Hessen.

a series of lectures and events addressing the contemporary status of the museum as a cultural institution and architectural type.
Peter Cachola Schmal, Director Deutsches Architekturmuseum: What Good Are Architecture Museum For?
Thursday, 10 May, 19h, Aula
Alle Veranstaltungen der Architekturklasse finden in englischer Sprache statt.
In the Summer Semester 2007, The Architecture Class invites to a series of lectures and events focusing on the role of the contemporary museum in our culture. The lectures and events accompany ongoing work in the Architectural Class for a series of museum proposals for the Rhein-Main region in Germany.
With the steadily increasing pressure of information flow and capital, the status and role of the contemporary museum within the arts as well as other fields are continuously challenged. In the arts, fairs - whose current architectural typology is as inspiring as your average sitcom - are emerging as ubiquitous events that inject market interest and social flair into the field. The Guggenheim and the Louvre have become export items. Museums at large are prompted to devise new, specific strategies for the dissemination to and entertainment of visitors via the Internet. With these changes, is the museum as an institution for archival purposes and the mere reification of existing culture passé?
What role and whose interests will the museum of tomorrow serve? Does the very institution of the museum, as it emerged over the last couple of centuries, still hold relevance, or should the arts and other fields look elsewhere to formulate a vital form to present previous periods’ collectibles and tomorrow’s cultural gems?
The architecture of the museum is part of this condition. In form and organisation, does the architecture of the museum also need to renewal?
The Städelschule Architecture Class Lecture Series is supported by the Architekten- und Stadtplanerkammer Hessen.

!!!
Die kleine Vortragsreihe am kommenden Samstag zur Portikusausstellung "Türen" von Judith Hopf und Henrik Olesen muss leider entfallen.
Sie wird jedoch im Wintersemester, dann auch zusammen mit dem Erscheinen des Katalogs, nachgeholt.

CHRISTA NÄHER
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
Christa Näher: zu Pasolini
Mittwoch, 9. Mai, 19 Uhr, Aula
„Die neue Form der Macht ist die Herrschaft von Konsum und Verschleiß; diesem letzten Ruin, diesem Ruin aller Ruine“ P. P. Pasolini
Pier Paolo Pasolini (Autor, Filmemacher)
* 1922 in Bologna, + 1975 Ostia
Vater Berufsoffizier, die Mutter Volksschullehrerin. Die Ehe der Eltern ist unglücklich und bindet Pasolini schicksalhaft an seine Mutter. 1942 erscheint sein erster Gedichtband in friaulischen Dialekt, zwei Jahre später gründet er die Akademie der friaulischen Sprache. Sein Bruder, der mit Partisanen kämpft, wird von Titos Anhängern 1945 umgebracht. Pasolini betreibt eine Privatschule mit seiner Mutter und tritt 1947 in die Kommunistische Partei ein, aus der er zwei Jahre später schon wieder ausgeschlossen wird. 1961 beginnt sein filmisches Schaffen mit dem Film "Accatone", er bereist ausgiebig die Dritte Welt. 1963 gelingt ihm mit „La Ricotta“ ein Durchbruch, der aber lange Prozesse und schließlich ein Verurteilung P. s nach sich zieht. 1975 wird Pasolinis verstümmelte Leiche in der Nähe der italienischen Hafenstadt Ostia gefunden. Die wahren Umstände der Tat sind bis heute ungeklärt.
Der Zerstörung der Kultur des Einzelnen durch die Konsumgesellschaft gilt das Interesse des Vortrags.

JAN VERWOERT / DANIEL BIRNBAUM / HASWELL & HECKER
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
Jan Verwoert: Ways to Inaugurate the Pleasurdome
Wednesday, 2nd May, 19 h, Aula
Die Veranstaltung findet in englischer Sprache statt.
Social bonds are forged through techniques of keeping and sharing secrets, coded ways and intricate choreographies of shaking hands, exchanging words and looks, learning to dress and speak in certain ways and not others, to perform rituals that summon certain spiritis, not others. These techniques are a matter of practice as much as they involve the imagination. So images do play their role in the constitutive moment when a society is inaugurated.
Does the inauguration of and initiation into a community always imply a moment of violence and the affirmation of a hierarchial power structure? Or can there be practices and images that renounce this violence and thus generate powerless structures of communal conviviality? How could a community be imagined that is not a sect defined through the exclusion of a constitutive other or a fraternity based on the codex of male bonding?
Jan Verwoert is freelancer and art critique, lives in Berlin, contributing editor for frieze magazine and writes among others for Metropolis M, Afterall and Piktogram. He is teaching fine art in Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam. His recent book is "Bas Jan Ader: In Search of the Miraculous", 2006.

UPIC Diffusion Session # 7
Saturday, 5th May, 20 - 22 h, Hall
On the occasion of the release of the LP-Collection STÄDEL METAL CASE 2003-2007 by Carl Michael von Hausswolff the sound artists group Haswell & Hecker performs a live multi channel electro-acoustic diffusion concert. The LPs are a result of C.M. v. Hausswolff workshops with students of Städelschule incl. contributions by Felix Kubin, J.G. Thirlwell and Mika Vainio. The artist will be present.
Russell Haswell (UK) and Florian Hecker (DE) first met in the suburbs of Vienna in 1996. Their first collaboration was in performance together in Frankfurt as support to Autechre in 2001. Since then they have performed together numerous times and have also conducted remix projects for such historical and pioneering music groups as Voice Crack (CH) and Popol Vuh (DE). In 2003 they began a research project together centering around the use of Iannis Xenakis' UPIC 'graphic input' computer music composing system during a residency at CCMIX Paris.

RESEARCH PROJECTS
REYKJAVIK CAMPUS 2006/07
Opening: 21. March 2007, 16.00 h
20 March – 20 April 2007: Exhibition at the Ajman University of Science and Technology,
Dubai, UAE
The Architecture Class of the Städelschule in Frankfurt (Staatliche Hochschule für Bildende Künste) is a Post-Graduate Master of Arts Programme in Advanced Architectural Design. The Architecture Class offers one of the most advanced international training programmes in the field. Led by its dean, Ben van Berkel, and Johan Bettum, the Architectural Class provides a focused setting for research and experiments in contemporary issues in architectural design.
Based on the artistic platform supplied by the Städelschule and the rigorous methodology structuring contemporary architectural design, the programme is formulated as a new and innovative approach to the practice of architecture. Research and design are conducted through the fusion of academic and experimental investigations with professional concerns for efficiency, including forms of material, technological and economic optimisation. The programme probes the status of architectural design as a body of specific intelligence and seeks to imbed this within a larger, contemporary socio-economic and cultural context through the frontier of academic and professional concerns.

LUC BOLTANSKI / STEPHAN DIETRICH
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
Symposium
Unter Druck – Under pressure
3rd Part: The New Spirit of Capitalism
Lecture: Luc Boltanski: „The New Spirit of Capitalism"
Response: Isabelle Graw and Sighard Neckel
Tuesday, 6th February, 18 h, Aula
Die Veranstaltung findet in englischer Sprache statt.
This conference started from the premise, that cultural producers are currently more immediately exposed to external pressures. In a situation that has been acutely described as the spectacular phase of capitalism, retreat seems hardly an option. In their book "The New Spirit of Capitalism" Ève Chiapello and Luc Boltanski proposed their notion of a "project-based Polis" which is characterised by unpredictable futures, short-term engagements and a lack of security. This leads to a situation - well known in the art world - in which flexibility, contacts and information are absolute must-haves. Boltanski and Chiapello put the emphasis on what they define as "artist critique" and we will discuss it´s potential. As a possible scenario faced with this "New Spirit of Capitalism" they have proposed the insistance on "status" and "long term engagements". These options will be debated during the third section of our conference "under Pressure" following Boltanski ´s lecture on "The present left and the longing for revolution.
Luc Boltanski is the leading figure in the new "pragmatics" school of French sociology. He is a professor at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, Paris and is the founder of the Centre de Sociologie Politique et Morale.
A conference in three parts, organized by the ‘Institut für Kunstkritik’ (Institute for Art Criticism in co-operation with the ‘Institut für Sozialforschung’ (Institute for Social Research).

PROF. IGNACE VERPOEST
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
the Architecture Class presents:
Prof. Ignace Verpoest, MTM, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven: [ Composite Materials - A Change in Paradigm ]
Thursday, 1st February, 19h, Aula
Alle Veranstaltungen der Architekturklasse finden in englischer Sprache statt.
Prof. Ignace Verpoest is head of the Department of Metallurgy and Materials Engineering at the Katholieke Universiteit in Leuven, Belgium. Their research in polymer matrix composites started in 1982. During the first, exploratory years, many different research topics were covered, but gradually, the attention has been focused on certain main areas. In all of these areas, development of predictive models has become crucial. Skilled technicians develop and optimise sophisticated processing and testing equipment. The department´s interest focusses on textile based composites and textiles and their analysis of internal geometry and resulting properties, furthermore on the development of simulation software for processing and property optimization. Other fields of interest are related to innovate processing methods for thermoplastic composites and further improvement of the "green" nature of composites: the use of natural fibres, life cycle analysis and recycling.
The Städelschule Architecture Class Lecture Series is supported by the Architekten- und Stadtplanerkammer Hessen.
Hinweis: Der für den 7.2.2007 vorgesehene Vortrag "Zu Pasolini" von Prof. Christa Näher kann leider nicht stattfinden, wird jedoch im Sommersemester nachgeholt.

MIKE NELSON / ADRIAAN BEUKERS
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
Mike Nelson
Wednesday, 24th January, 19h, Aula
Die Veranstaltung findet in englischer Sprache statt.
Mike Nelson creates large-scale architectural installations, transforming existing spaces with meticulous constructions made from found objects. He fuses an encyclopedic range of references into three-dimensional narratives. By littering his works with pertinent objects, he aims to provoke viewers into questioning their individual standpoints; he relies on the viewer's involvement to continue or complete the scene. Only the fully mental and physical involvement with the installation offers all perspectives to the audience - an sculptural all-over-experience.
Mike Nelson lives and works in London and Edinburgh. In 2001 he was shortlisted for the Turner Prize 2001, for the 'haunting resonance of his architectural installations,' as seen in his contributions to the British Art Show and Another Place, a National Touring Exhibition. He is amongst others research fellow at the College of Art Edinburgh and Lecturer at the CCA and RCA in London.
the Architecture Class presents:
Prof. Adriaan Beukers, Faculty Aerospace Engineering, TU Delft: [ The Spirit Of Lightness ]
Thursday, 25th January, 19h, Aula
Alle Veranstaltungen der Architekturklasse finden in englischer Sprache statt.
Professor Adriaan Beukers is responsible for the research and development of lightweight structures at TU Delft's Aerospace Engineering Faculty. Beukers' passion for innovation inspired him to co-author two books with Ed van Hinte on the subject of composite materials. This is a specialist area in which Beukers truly excels, having been a consultant to both designers and architects. Both of Beukers' books, 'Lightness', and his most recent book, 'Flying Lightness', explore the possibilities of how composite materials can help reduce our impact on the environment.
Beukers is focused on fighting to change the way the Western world uses energy, materials and cheap labour, without considering the consequences. "Lightness," he exclaims, "can help us in achieving more energy efficiency. We currently have an unbalanced ratio, and we're heading for climate change and other dire implications. If not altered, we'll end with the depletion of fossils fuel, and then we'll either have to change our transportation systems, stop them completely or change our mindset, as transport can be drastically improved." Beukers also works closely with his aerospace engineering students to find new solutions, such as a new and safer Liquified Petroleum Gas canister for automobiles, or a small composite pillow bag that when inflated with air can raise a weight of up to 131 tons. This solution is widely used in emergencies, such as after an earthquake or a terrorist attack that collapses buildings.

the Architecture Class presents:
Prof. Adriaan Beukers, Faculty Aerospace Engineering, TU Delft: [ The Spirit Of Lightness ]
Thursday, 25th January, 19h, Aula
Alle Veranstaltungen der Architekturklasse finden in englischer Sprache statt.
Professor Adriaan Beukers is responsible for the research and development of lightweight structures at TU Delft's Aerospace Engineering Faculty. Beukers' passion for innovation inspired him to co-author two books with Ed van Hinte on the subject of composite materials. This is a specialist area in which Beukers truly excels, having been a consultant to both designers and architects. Both of Beukers' books, 'Lightness', and his most recent book, 'Flying Lightness', explore the possibilities of how composite materials can help reduce our impact on the environment.
Beukers is focused on fighting to change the way the Western world uses energy, materials and cheap labour, without considering the consequences. "Lightness," he exclaims, "can help us in achieving more energy efficiency. We currently have an unbalanced ratio, and we're heading for climate change and other dire implications. If not altered, we'll end with the depletion of fossils fuel, and then we'll either have to change our transportation systems, stop them completely or change our mindset, as transport can be drastically improved." Beukers also works closely with his aerospace engineering students to find new solutions, such as a new and safer Liquified Petroleum Gas canister for automobiles, or a small composite pillow bag that when inflated with air can raise a weight of up to 131 tons. This solution is widely used in emergencies, such as after an earthquake or a terrorist attack that collapses buildings.

PETRA BLAISSE
the Architecture Class presents:
Petra Blaisse, Designer (Inside Outside, Amsterdam): [ Shifting Positions ]
Thursday, 18th January, 19h, Aula
Alle Veranstaltungen der Architekturklasse finden in englischer Sprache statt.
Dutch designer Petra Blaisse works in a multitude of creative areas, including textile, landscape and exhibition design. She founded Inside Outside in Amsterdam in 1991. Inside Outside specializes in the rare combination of both interior and exterior design, interweaving architecture and landscape. Blaisse first gained international acclaim for her innovative exhibition-installations in the eighties and nineties, her golden theatre curtain for the Nederlands Dans Theater, her vast curtains and poured floors for Lille Grand Palais in France and her spiralling 'sound curtain' for the Kunsthal in Rotterdam.
In the landscape field appreciation grew between 1990 and 2000 when Blaisse worked on the Museumpark in Rotterdam ('92) with French landscape architect Yves Brunier, designed a 'Connective Landscape' for an area in the city of Seoul ('97) (with architects Jean Nouvel, Mario Botta, Terry Farrel and OMA), the Universal Headquarters gardens in Los Angeles (OMA).

Wednesday, 13 December, 2006, 19 h, Aula
Die Veranstaltung findet in englischer Sprache statt.
A bridge, an ellipsis, a sudden trailing off, the title of this exhibition, etc, the ... might also be the blub blub blub of an underwater clam drawn by Jack Smith (“Ploduction Ploblems”), or a sort of mussel-talk taking over. In Réné Daumal’s unfinished novel Mount Analogue, which narrates the search for an invisible mountain (the largest on earth), there is a description of the money used in this place: smooth, pearl-like orbs dug out of the invisible mountain’s soil and very difficult to find. So on Mount Analogue, the ... would also be a price, a sum, exact amount of invisible cash. (Excerpt from the index of the accompanying book, published by Buchhandlung Walther König, Cologne)
the Architecture Class presents:
Prof.Sanford Kwinter, Architectural Theorist, New York : [ Rhythmised Materials ]
Thursday, 14 December, 19h, Aula

Symposium
Unter Druck – Under pressure
2nd Part: Social individuals and their possibilities of actions
Lecture: Paolo Virno: „Grammar of the Multitude“
Response: Martin Saar and Daniel Birnbaum
Friday, 15 December, 18 h, Aula
Die Veranstaltung findet in englischer Sprache statt.
With „Grammar of the Multitude“ (2005) Italian philosopher Paolo Virno made one of the most important contributions to the discourse on bio-politics and post-fordian labour relations. As a thinker who belongs to the radical Italian left wing and who was politically active in the environment of the operaistic movement, he has developed a brilliant analysis of the contemporary way of living. His book systematically explores how the recently much-invoked „Post-Fordism“ in an essential way affects our existence, our conception of the subject and our labour relations. If it is the case that nowadays „virtuosity“ is in demand and that language and communication have become the decisive powers of productivity, then this has to have consequences also for the production of art. In the framework of the symposiums „Under pressure“ we shall discuss the new necessities described by Virno from the perspective of the artists. We will explore the options for action and will follow up the implications of the models he recommends, e.g. „exit“ and „disobedience“.
„Unter Druck – Under pressure. About subject-shaped pictures, social individuals and the new spirit of capitalism“ is a conference in three parts, organized by the ‘Institut für Kunstkritik’ (Institute for Art Criticism in co-operation with the ‘Institut für Sozialforschung’ (Institute for Social Research) Frankfurt.

JEREMY MILLAR
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
Lecture:
Jeremy Millar: Zugzwang (almost complete)
Tuesday, 5 December, 19 h, Aula
Die Veranstaltung findet in englischer Sprache statt.
The term ‘Zugzwang’ is taken from German, meaning ‘compulsion to move’, and is used in chess to describe a situation in which a player is put at a disadvantage because he has to make the next move, and makes his situation worse in doing so. Jeremy Millar’s recent project is ambitious, large-scale, in a number of different media, and was inspired by Marcel Duchamp’s only two visits to the South East region of the UK. Zugzwang (almost complete) is about a Frenchman in England, about The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even, about The Green Glass and chess.
Jeremy Millar is an artist and curator living in Whitstable. He was curator among others at The Photographers’ Gallery, London and also inaugural director of the Brighton Photo Biennial (2003). As an artist he has exhibited widely and is also a prolific writer; beside his severals books he contributes to Art Monthly, Blueprint, frieze and Parkett.
