Dietmar Dath: "The Blue British Police Box considered as a Work of Art"
Tuesday, 27 November, 19h, Aula
Der Vortrag findet in englischer Sprache statt.
"The further in you go, the bigger it gets." Most of us heard about this phenomenon through a long tradition in fiction, e.g. Alice in Wonderland. Dietmar Dath will introduce these topics and offer answers as well as questions about how it relates to contemporary art.
Dietmar Dath is publishing since 1999 journalistic and literary, satricial and essayistic articles in national/international newspapers and magazines, amongst others in SPEX, JUNGLE WORLD, DE:BUG, TEXT UND KUNST and FRIEZE (UK). He spans a wide spectrum of subjects ranging from political aspects of youth and pop culture (Heavy Metal, drug politics, cinema), science critique (nanotechnologies, computer sciences, bio- and reproduction technologies) to articles about significant, yet underrated figures of the humanities of the 20th century (e.g. the architect R. Buckminster Fuller, the logician and metamathematician Gotthard Günther, the composer George Antheil, the author Ayn Rand...). His recent book releases are "Heute keine Konferenz. Texte für die Zeitung" and "Waffenwetter" (Suhrkamp Verlag). Dietmar Dath works as an author and was quite recently editor of Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.
Claire Fontaine
Wednesday, 28 November, 19h Aula
Der Vortrag findet in englischer Sprache statt.
Claire Fontaine is a Paris-based collective, founded in 2004. After lifting her name from a popular brand of school notebooks, Claire Fontaine declared herself a “readymade artist” and began to elaborate a version of neo-conceptual art that often looks like other people’s work. Working in neon, video, sculpture, painting and text, her practice can be described as an ongoing interrogation of the political impotence and the crisis of singularity that seem to define contemporary art today. But if the artist herself is the subjective equivalent of a urinal or a Brillo box – as displaced, deprived of its use value, and exchangeable as the products she makes – there is always the possibility of what she calls the “human strike.” Only two years old, Claire Fontaine uses her freshness and youth to make herself a whatever-singularity and an existential terrorist in search of subjective emancipation. She grows up among the ruins of the notion of authorship, experimenting with collective protocols of production, détournements, and the production of various devices for the sharing of intellectual and private property. Last time in Frankfurt their work could be seen in ANONYM, In the Future no one will be famous, Schirn Kunsthalle in 2006 and recently at the Istanbul Biennial.
the Architecture Class presents:
Designed Materiality - Public Lecture Series Winter Semester 2007-8
a series of lectures addressing the contemporary status of architecture in relation to material and design technologies.
Axel Kilian: Design Explorations
Thursday, 29 November, 19h, Aula
Alle Veranstaltungen der Architekturklasse finden in englischer Sprache statt.
Axel Kilian is another of the leading, young figures in architecture exploring the limits and possibilities of computational design techniques. These techniques, which are partly based on an automatization of the design procedure through computerised processes, are paradoxically closely linked to material conditions.
Kilian studied architecture at the University of the Arts in Berlin and went on to the MIT in Boston on a Fulbright scholarship. At MIT he first received an MA with the thesis “Defining Digital Space through a Visual Language” before taking his Ph.D. with a thesis on “Design exploration using bidirectional constraints” (2006) and ending up in a Post Doctoral position.
His Ph.D. centered on design exploration in the context of architecture and design processes using computational processes, namely programming and parametric design in combination with fabrication. Recent projects range from architectural form finding applications, collaboration on concept car designs with the MIT Media Lab, to a number of full scale installations. Axel Kilian has taught and lectured in a number of schools worldwide. He has received numerous awards - also for his teaching, and is currently engaged at the TU Delft.
The Städelschule Architecture Class Lecture Series is supported by the Architekten- und Stadtplanerkammer Hessen.

BEN VAN BERKEL & THE THEATER OF IMMANENCE
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
Ausstellung:
BEN VAN BERKEL & THE THEATER OF IMMANENCE
25. Nov 2007 - 13. Jan 2008
Eröffnung: 24. Nov 2007
15 Uhr Gesprächsrunde mit Ben van Berkel, Sanford Kwinter, Daniel Birnbaum & Peter Hagdahl
17 Uhr Vortrag von Sanford Kwinter
20 Uhr Eröffnung mit einer Live-Performance von Dani Gal & Achim Lengerer
PORTIKUS, Alte Brücke 2 Maininsel, 60594 Frankfurt am Main
Die Vorträge finden in englischer Sprache statt.
Es stehen nur begrenzt Sitzplätze zur Verfügung.
Ben van Berkel & the Theatre of Immanence ist eine Ausstellung, die sowohl künstlerische als auch architektonische Anteile aufweist und dabei das Ziel verfolgt, die unterschiedlichsten Medien in einer Gesamtinstallation zu vereinen. Kraft ihrer unterschiedlichen Elemente kann die Ausstellung sowohl als Bühne fungieren oder auch als ein Raum für Kommunikation: dies kann die Kommunikation zwischen den Besucher/innen und den ausgestellten Arbeiten betreffen, oder einfach die Kommunikation zwischen dem Virtuellen und dem Realen an sich. Während ihrer gesamten Ausstellungsdauer wird sie zum Austragungsort für verschiedene Veranstaltungen: Dies sind Vorträge, künstlerische Performances, Gesprächsrunden und Soundperformances.
Die architektonische Installation mit dem Titel The Thing wurde von Ben van Berkel, Professor an der Städelschule, gemeinsam mit Professor Johan Bettum und Luis Etchegorry entworfen. Die Frankfurter Designtechnologie-Gruppen MESO Web Scapes und MESO Digital Interiors haben hierzu eine ausgefeilte Lichtprojektion entwickelt, die sich auf der Oberfläche der Installation ausbreitet, sie mit bewegten Bildern dynamisiert und somit die Oberfläche der Installation aktiviert. Die Lichtprojektion mit dem Titel On Things Off Things On ist eine Fallstudie im Bereich der „erweiterten Architektur“. Es ist der Versuch, eine reaktive Oberfläche von außergewöhnlicher räumlicher Komplexität zu kreieren.
Die Installation The Thing besteht aus einer unteren und einer oberen Ebene. Die obere dient als eine Art Theaterforum, die untere als ein eher traditioneller Ausstellungsraum. Beide Ebenen werden durch eine räumliche, mit Öffnungen durchsetzte Oberfläche getrennt. Durch diese Öffnungen werden die beiden Bereiche visuell und akustisch miteinander verbunden. Innerhalb der Installation sind einige Werke von Künstler/innen und Architekt/innen zu sehen, die an dem einjährigen experimentellen Projekt der Architekturklasse der Städelschule (SAC) mit dem Titel the Space of Communication beteiligt waren. Dieses Projekt wurde auf großzügige Weise von der Deutschen Telekom unterstützt.
Die ausstellenden Teilnehmer/innen sind die Architekt/innen Asterios Agkathidis, Brennan Buck & Igor Kebel, Holger Hoffmann, Jonas Runberger, Gabi Schillig, sowie die Künstler/innen Florencia Colombo und Dani Gal.
Die Synthese der architektonischen Installation und der Lichtprojektionen wird im Internet mittels einer interaktiven Live-Übertragung unter http://journal03.staedelschule-onlinegroup.org zugänglich gemacht. Das Journal 3 ist das letzte von drei Internet-Journalen, die von der Projektgruppe hinter the Space of Communication veröffentlicht werden. Journal 3 wurde von MESO Web Scapes entwickelt.
Weitere Einzelheiten zum bisherigen Verlauf des Projekts the Space of Communication finden Sie unter: http://www.staedelschule-onlinegroup.org/
Das weitere Veranstaltungsprogramm finden Sie unter http://www.staedelschule-onlinegroup.org/
Die Ausstellung und das vorangegangene Projekt the Space of Communication wurden großzügig durch die Deutsche Telekom unterstützt.
Wir danken außerdem Vitra, der Botschaft des Königsreichs der Niederlande und der Heinz und Gisela Friederichs Stiftung für ihre großzügige Unterstützung.

JOSEPHINE PRYDE / ACHIM MENGES
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
Josephine Pryde: Just What is Aura Anyway?
Wednesday, 21 November, 19h, Aula
Die Veranstaltung findet in englischer Sprache statt
"Her works are photographs; she is not a photographer but an artist who uses photography" Laura Mulvey on Cindy Sherman, 1991
Josephine Pryde lives and works in London and one of her first longer stays in Germany were half a year at Hochschule der Künste, Berlin during her studies. She makes exhibitions that attempt to display the conditions of their production. Her photographs and sculptures reactivate techniques and concepts from a variety of sources, e.g. the photographs are altered often by darkroom manipulations. Recent exhibitions were Various Small Fires at the Royal College of Art Galleries, London and Hollow Inside, Galerie Neu in Berlin.
She is Guest Professor for Art and Photography at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste, Wien and also teaches at Hochschule der Bildenden Künste, Braunschweig.
the Architecture Class presents:
Designed Materiality - Public Lecture Series Winter Semester 2007-8
a series of lectures addressing the contemporary status of architecture in relation to material and design technologies.
Achim Menges: Computational Form and Material Gestalt
Thursday, 22 November, 19h, Aula
Alle Veranstaltungen der Architekturklasse finden in englischer Sprache statt.
Since graduating from the Architectural Association in 2002, Achim Menges has emerged as one of the leading protagonists on the international architectural scene with respect to computerised form generation and material systems. He engages with research on ‘the development of integral design processes at the intersection of evolutionary computation, parametric design, biomimetic engineering and computer aided manufacturing that enable a highly articulated, performative built environment.’ This means that Menges works with semi-automated, computer-based design processes that to a high degree rely on the dynamics of material and natural systems to generate architectural form.
His publications include “Morpho-Ecologies” ( AA Publications, London, 2006) and the three AD Wiley Academy issues “Emergence - Morphogenetic Design Strategies” (London, 2004), “Techniques and Technologies in Morphogenetic Design” (London, 2006) and “Versatility and Vicissitude: Performance in Morpho-Ecological Design” (to be published 2008).
Menges is currently a professor at HfG Offenbach and teaches at the Architectural Association in London in the ‘Emergent Technologies’ programme. He is partner in OCEAN NORTH and ‘the Emergence and Design Group.’

CHRISTA NÄHER / WOLFGANG WINKLER / KUNST LEHREN / FRANK SIDEBOTTOM
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
Christa Näher: zu Pasolini II
Montag, 12 November, 19 Uhr, Aula
Im Sommersemester 2007 fand bereits ein gleichnamiger Vortrag statt. Dem damaligen Publikum war es ein Anliegen, das Thema nochmalig zu vertiefen. Diesem Wunsch kommt Prof. Christa Näher nun mit dem zweiten Teil nach.
Pier Paolo Pasolini (Autor, Filmemacher)
Nach einer sehr schwierigen Jugend, einem nur mäßig erfolgreichen politischen Engagement und der Beschäftigung als Pädagoge beginnt Pasolini 1961 sein filmisches Schaffen mit dem Film "Accatone". 1963 gelingt ihm mit „La Ricotta“ ein Durchbruch, der aber lange Prozesse und schließlich ein Verurteilung Pasolinis 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.
Wolfgang Winkler: Die Kunst im Zeitalter ihrer Globalisierung
Dienstag, 13. November, 19 Uhr, Aula
War der idealistische Anspruch der Künste auf Universalität durch die Avantgarde-Bewegungen des 20. Jahrhunderts in Luft aufgelöst worden, so scheint er nun im Zuge eines umfassenden Globalisierungsprozesses als Gespenst wiederzukehren.
1. Gibt es Interessen von global-gesellschaftlichen Kräften, kulturelle ‚Begeisterung’ für längst verwehte Gerüchte zu erwecken?
2. Falls die Rede von der „sich globalisierenden Kunst“ nicht bloße Propaganda für Globalisierung ist, so stellt sich die Frage: Auf welchen kleinsten gemeinsamen Nenner muß die Kunst reduziert werden, damit sie global - d.h. in jedem kulturellen Kontext - als Kunst anerkannt wird?
Wolfgang Winkler studierte Ethnologie und Philosophie. Er lebt und arbeitet in Berlin als Kunsttheoretiker und selbstständiger Psychotherapeut.
Buchpräsentation
Kunst Lehren – Teaching Art
Mittwoch, 14. November, 18:30 Uhr,
Buchhandlung Walther König
Domstr. 6, 60311 Frankfurt am Main
Gemeinsam mit dem Verlag Walther König veranstaltet die Städelschule eine kleine Präsentation der neuen Städelschul-Publikation Kunst lehren, zu der zahlreiche an der Publikation beteiligte Künstler und Kunsttheoretiker wie Thomas Bayrle , Wolfgang Tillmans, Tobias Rehberger und Isabelle Graw zu einem zwanglosen Gespräch geladen sind.
Frank Sidebottom
Thursday, 15th November, 19 h, Aula
Die Veranstaltung findet in englische Sprache statt.
Frank Sidebottom - the Bard of Timperley - is centre of his world. His adventures take him from the outskirts to Manchester to outer space, though his mind never ventures far from the parochial concerns of the quality of freebies that arrive with his junk mail or how many coppers he can diddle his mum out of in her weekly shop.
Sidebottom combines fine art and comedy. As a comedian he finds humour in everyday details, honing in on the sometimes lonely lives of a few made up individuals who befriend, depend on, use, and irritate one another. He is also a prolific animator and visual artist. Frank is well known to the british audience on the one hand through his TV-shows and broadcasts e.g. on BBC Radio, on the other for his performances and screenings lately at the Tate Britain and an exhibition in Chelsea Art Gallery, London.

MICHAEL BEUTLER
Herzliche Einladung zu den Veranstaltungen der Städelschule!
Lecture:
Michael Beutler: Portikus Castle
Tuesday, 23rd October, 19 h, Aula
Die Veranstaltung findet in englische Sprache statt.
For the Portikus Michael Beutler has developed one of his largest and most ambitious works to date. Beutler's approach is determinedly experimental. He appropriates the formability and potential uses of different materials and then links them with the given or chosen spatial settings. He is interested in serial production and the functional aspect of building materials, but he usually goes against their original purpose, working out alternative uses for them and developing unintended processing methods. To this end, he devises and constructs his own apparatus and machinery, which he then uses to work on the material as if in an industrial production process. In technical terms, however, Beutler prefers not to get too complex, always sticking to simple mechanical methods so that the formal processing of the material remains easy to identify.
The exhibition in Portikus can be visited till 4th November.

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.

The lecture by Thomas Hirschhorn had to be postponed to Wednesday, 30 May.
!!!
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.
the Architecture Class and Städelschule Fine Arts presents:
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
Peter Cachola Schmal, Director German Architecture Museum DAM

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
Peter Cachola Schmal, Director German Architecture Museum DAM
The Städelschule Architecture Class Lecture Series is supported by the Architekten- und Stadtplanerkammer Hessen.

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.

PETER CACHOLA SCHMAL / STUPIDITY
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.

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.
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.
Prof.Dr. Daniel Birnbaum, Rector of Städelschule: Installing Time. The Museum in the age of moving images.

HASWELL & HECKER:
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.
