Tatiana Bilbao: The way things go
Donnerstag, 6. Juni 2013, 19 Uhr, Aula
Over the last few years, Tatiana Bilbao has emerged as one of the new voices among South American architects. Based in Mexico City, where she graduated from Architecture and Urbanism at Universidad Iberoamericana in 1996, Bilbao began her career as an advisor for Urban Projects at the Urban Housing and Development Department of Mexico City in 1998-99. As advisor for the government, she was also a member of the urban council of the city. Bilbao founded her own offices in 2004 and has seen projects realised in China, Spain, France and Mexico. The same year, Bilbao co-founded an urban research centre, mxdf, together with the architects Derek Dellekamp, Arturo Ortiz and Michel Rojkind. The centre addresses the troubled urban space of Mexico City.
Since 2005, Bilbao has been a design professor at Universidad Iberoamericana, and she is currently a guest professor at the Peter Behrens School of Architecture in Düsseldorf. She has taught and lectured at many other universities around the world; in 2007 she was awarded the Design Vanguard for one of the top 10 emerging firms by Architecture Record; and in 2009 named as an Emerging Voice by the Architecture League of NY. The work of her offices include a music hall and sports centre for Irapuato, Mexico, the much published, Jinhua Architecture Park (2006), a house for the artist Gabriel Orozco in the pacific ocean, a gated community house in Ordos (China), a Botanical Garden in Culiacan, an Exhibition Room in Jinhua Architectural Park and the Mexican Pavilion for the Expo Zaragoza 2008.

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.

Claire Fontaine
Vortrag
Claire Fontaine
Mittwoch, 8. Mai 2013, 19 Uhr, Aula
Claire Fontaine is a Paris-based collective artist, 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." 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.

Vortrag
John Knight
Dienstag, 30. April 2013, 19 Uhr, Aula
Since the early 1970s Los Angeles-based artist John Knight has dedicated his practice to mapping the intersections of art, design, and institutional power through a series of spatial interventions and graphic maneuvers. Following closely on the architectural implications of Minimalism, Knight belongs to a generation of artists that has consistently addressed the ideological valences of constructed space.
John Knight will speak about a selection of his in-situ projects, his artistic methodology, and the politics and complications inherent in working context-specific.
Knight recently exhibited at EACC Espai d`Art Contemporani de Castelló, Castelló (Spain), Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam (Netherlands), Whitney Museum of American Art (USA) and IAC, Villeurbanne (France).

Julika Rudelius
Vortrag
Julika Rudelius: Intimate Public–Rituals of Capitalism
Mittwoch, 10. April 2013, 19 Uhr, Aula
Julika Rudelius' work explores themes of emotional dependency, politics, abuse, sexuality and power. Her most recent film was made in China. Thinking about intimacy as currency, Rudelius shot young androgynous men in the streets posing seductively amidst traffic - mimicking the commercialized eroticism ingested from advertising and entertainment imagery. Juxtaposed to those images, she also shot in the homes of soap opera stars and wealthy collectors - the dwellings of people that propel the marketing machine, creating the images that the public imitates. Continually exploring the exchange of the intimate for capital, in her film shot in Washington DC, young interns of politicians exchange youth and obedience for the next step up the career ladder; in another young Moroccans look for acceptance in society and the fashion world. As her subjects reveal how they trade-in their intimate lives in front of the camera, the power structures Rudelius explores are not just subject matter - they are imbedded in her filming methodology. During production, Rudelius combines intimate therapy-like sessions with her subjects, realistically built sets designed to estrange, and audio systems which allow her to remote control actors. These themes have led to a conversation with collaborators about how images function and are distributed under capitalism and how this influences image-making and perhaps heightens the importance of narrative over images.
Julika Rudelius' work has been exhibited at the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; ZKM, Karlsruhe; Brooklyn Museum, New York; Tate Modern, London; Centre Pompidou, Paris; and MOCA, North Miami among many others. Her most recent film "Rituals," was exhibited at Rudelius' recent solo show at Leo Koenig Inc., New York and had its European debut at the opening exhibition of the new Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, and was also exhibited at Y & C Contemporary in Taipei, Taiwan. She currently lives and works in New York and Amsterdam.

Lutz Bacher
Vortrag
Lutz Bacher
Dienstag, 5. Februar 2013, 19 Uhr, Aula
Lutz Bacher’s exhibition at Portikus is the first in a series of three solo shows this year, presenting Bacher’s work to a European audience in the most encompassing way to date (Portikus, ICA London, Kunsthalle Zürich). Lutz Bacher, who lives between Berkeley and New York City, occupies an important position in contemporary artistic practice. As an artist whose age and gender have been occluded for over four decades, her work becomes as much a refuge as a vehicle to respond liberally to the urgency of political and social conditions, especially in her native America. The imagery, objects and physical spaces Lutz Bacher creates are informed by studies of ignorant and oftentimes violent human conduct such as physical abuse, treason, and complacency.
Lutz Bacher's talk will be in the format of a video presentation. She will show a 12 minute video conversation between her and New York gallerist Alex Zachary and Peter Currie in which a number of older works are discussed, along with a slideshow of other works.

Donnerstag, 31. Januar 2013, 19 Uhr, MMK Museum für Moderne Kunst, Domstrasse 10
Das Werk des in Schweden lebenden Künstlers Carsten Höller zählt mit seinen Installationen, Skulpturen, Videos, Zeichnungen und Fotografien zu den bedeutendsten Positionen der Gegenwart. In Höller’s Arbeiten fließen immer wieder wissenschaftliche Ansätze ein, die unter anderem auf sein Studium in Agrarwissenschaften und seine Habilitation in Phytopathologie (Lehre der Pflanzenkrankheiten) zurückzuführen sind. In seinen Ausstellungen ließ Höller beispielsweise das Museum Hamburger Bahnhof mit Rentieren beleben, brachte gigantische Rutschbahnen an der Tate Modern in London an und verwandelte in 2011 die drei Etagen des New Yorker New Museum in Forscherlabore zu seinen Arbeiten aus den vergangenen 18 Jahren. In der Sammlung des MMK ist Carsten Höller mit den Werken „220 Volt“ (1992) sowie „Lichtwand“ (2002) vertreten.
Daniel Birnbaum, in Stockholm geboren, studierte an der Universität Stockholm, der Freien Universität Berlin und der Columbia University New York Kunstgeschichte, Literaturwissenschaft und Philosophie. Neben Beiträgen in internationalen Kunstzeitschriften wie „Artforum“ und „Frieze“ verfasste er zahlreiche wissenschaftliche Arbeiten. Von 2000 bis 2010 war er Rektor der Städelschule Frankfurt. Neben seiner kuratorischen Mitwirkung an zahlreichen Biennalen leitete er 2009 zusammen mit dem Co-Direktor Jochen Volz die 53. Biennale von Venedig. Seit 2011 ist er Direktor des Moderna Museet in Stockholm.
Carsten Höller und Daniel Birnbaum – beide wohnhaft in Stockholm – die sich beruflich wie privat schon seit vielen Jahren kennen, treffen im Rahmen der MMK Talks erstmals in einem öffentlichen Gespräch aufeinander.

Juan A. Gaitán
Vortrag
Juan A. Gaitán: A System of Reports
Mittwoch, 23. Januar 2013, 19 Uhr, Aula
Juan A. Gaitán, the curator of the coming Berlin Biennale will begin his lecture-presentation by contextualizing the recent history of the Berlin Biennale, its international relevance and comprehensive impact on the cultural life of Berlin. Further, elaborating on its 8th edition to be held in Spring 2014, he will introduce the beginnings of his curatorial research as well as the artistic team he has invited. In his edition, Gaitán seeks to treat Berlin as a subjective microcosm, tracing its globality and mercantile linkages in the late 19th – early 20th centuries as well as its journey from empire to nation-state. The circulating figures within the formation of Modernity will be interrogated through the contributions of individuals such as Alexander von Humboldt and his scientific explorations across the Americas.
Gaitán (Canada/Colombia), born 1973, is an independent writer and curator, currently based in Mexico City and Berlin. He is trained as an artist and art historian at University of British Columbia and Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design in Vancouver (Canada). Between January 2009 and December 2011, he was curator at Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art in Rotterdam (The Netherlands), and between September 2011 and June 2012 adjunct professor in the Curatorial Practice Program at the California College of the Arts in San Francisco (USA). During the 2006 – 2008 period, he was on the Board of Directors of the Western Front Society, and worked as external curator at the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery in Vancouver. He presently is curator of the 8th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art, 2014
His writings have been published in several journals, including Afterall, The Exhibitionist, Fillip, and Mousse. His most recent exhibition, Material Information, spans three venues in Bergen (Norway), and looks for a renewed critical approach to the contemporary global distribution of labor from the perspective of arts and crafts. He is presently member of the acquisitions committee at FRAC Nord-Pas de Calais in Dunquerke (France).

In the early days of public museums, opening hours were a highly debated issue. This was not just because questions such as whether or not museums should be open on Sundays pointed to the extent to which the museum realized its ideal of unlimited public accessibility. This debate also occured because the invention of a cultural ritual based on an open temporal frame with no fixed beginning or end marked the museum as a liberal ritual; a ritual that, unlike the fixed time format of theatre, allowed individualized and flexibilised forms of usage. Although the museum can host thousands of people a day, it – contrary to theatre or film – still constitutes a flexible ritual par excellence. In that sense, it is a distinctively modern ritual that corresponds to a modern, individualized sensitivity.
The lecture will reflect on the aesthetic and cultural significance of these phenomena in light of the history and current social function of art museums. By relating them to sociological approaches such as the theory of weak ties, it will throw a particular light on the respective economies of attention that are at stake in exhibitions today
Dorothea von Hantelmann, born 1969 in Hamburg, lives in Berlin. She teaches Art History at the Freie Universität Berlin and works at the Collaborative Research Centre on “Aesthetic Experience and the Dissolution of Artistic Limits.” Among her recent publications are How to Do Things with Art: The Meaning of Art’s Performativity (2010) and Die Ausstellung. Politik eines Rituals (ed. with C. Meister, 2010).

Amy Sillman
Vortrag
Amy Sillman
Dienstag, 15. Januar 2013, 19 Uhr, Aula
Amy Sillman *1956 is an American painter living and working in New York. Sillman foregrounds the materiality of painting and its formal, psychological, and conceptual dimensions. She constructs her work in a physical way — through gesture, color, and drawing-based procedures — imbuing it with questions of feminism, performativity, and humor. Her work is an ongoing negotiation between the improvisatory and the structural aspects of thinking itself, with painting posited as a language in which to express thinking in a formal and affective method.
Sillman‘s bibliography includes Amy Sillman: Works on Paper (Gregory R. Miller, 2006), a monograph of her drawings with text by Wayne Koestenbaum, and Between Artists: Gregg Bordowitz and Amy Sillman (ART Press, NY, 2009). Sillman earned her BFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York and her MFA from Bard College in 1995. She has received numerous awards and grants, including a Guggenheim Fellowship, the Louise Comfort Tiffany Foundation Award, the Guna S. Mundheim Fellowship at the American Academy in Berlin in 2009. Her work has been widely exhibited and collected in public and private collections, including The Museum of Modern Art in New York, The Art Institute of Chicago, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. A survey of her work will be exhibited in 2013 at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston.

ANDREAS SLOMINSKI & MARIO KRAMER
Vortrag
Andreas Slominski im Gespräch mit Mario Kramer
Montag, 10. Dezember 2012, 19 Uhr, MMK Museum für Moderne Kunst, Domstrasse 10
Andreas Slomisnskis Werke entstammen häufig der Alltagswelt, wie beispielsweise ein mit zahlreichen Tüten behängtes Herrenfahrrad eines Obdachlosen, das Slominski auf den Straßen Frankfurts sah und das ihn zu einer eigenen Arbeit inspirierte. Der Künstler hatte bereits zahlreiche internationale Ausstellungen wie 1997 auf der Venedig Biennale oder 2005 in der Serpentine Gallery in London. Slominski lebt und arbeitet in Hamburg und in Werder bei Berlin.
Mario Kramer ist seit Anbeginn des MMK der Sammlungsleiter des Hauses. Als Slominski 1987 seine erste Einzelausstellung in der Produzentengalerie in Hamburg hatte, war Kramer in einem angegliederten Ausstellungsraum tätig und verfolgt seitdem das künstlerische Schaffen Slominskis. Einen vorläufigen Höhepunkt fand ihre Zusammenarbeit in der umfassenden Werkschau Andreas Slominskis „Roter Sand und ein gefundenes Glück“, die 2006 im MMK zu sehen war.
Die Veranstaltungsreihe MMK Talks wird gefördert durch die Deutsche Bank Stiftung.
Eine Kooperation von Städelschule und MMK Museum für Moderne Kunst.

THOMAS SCHEIBITZ & BEATE SÖNTGEN
MMK Talk
Thomas Scheibitz im Gespräch mit Beate Söntgen
Dienstag, 4. Dezember 2012, 19 Uhr, MMK Museum für Moderne Kunst, Domstrasse 10
In der dritten Ausgabe der gemeinsam von der Städelschule und dem Museum für Moderne Kunst konzipierten Veranstaltungsreihe MMK Talks dreht sich alles um das Thema "The Artists". Herausragende Künstler aus der MMK Sammlung diskutieren mit jeweils einem Gesprächspartner ihrer Wahl.
Thomas Scheibitz *1968 in Radeberg bei Dresden, erforscht in seinen Gemälden und Skulpturen die Grenze zwischen Figürlichkeit und Abstraktion, indem er vertraute Erscheinungen aufgreift und in einem mehrstufigen Abstraktionsprozess in eine persönliche Bildsprache übersetzt. Ausgangpunkt für seine Themen und Motive sind Vorlagen aus der Alltags- und Populärkultur wie Film, Literatur, Musik und Werbung sowie Architektur, aber auch kunsthistorische Bildvorlagen aus dem Mittelalter oder der Renaissance. Aus zahllosen, archivierten Eindrücken übersetzt Scheibitz Gesehenes in eine neue Bildsprache und gewinnt so die Formen und Strukturen seiner Gemälde und Skulpturen.
Zusammen mit Tino Sehgal gestaltete er 2005 den deutschen Pavillon bei der 51. Biennale in Venedig und noch bis Januar 2013 ist seine Ausstellung One-Time Pad im MMK zu sehen.
Beate Söntgen *1963 in Stolberg ist Professorin für Kunstgeschichte an der Leuphana Universität Lüneburg.
Sie studierte Kunstgeschichte, Philosophie und Neuere deutsche Literatur in Marburg und Berlin; 1991 Magister Artium, Freie Universität Berlin, mit einer Arbeit über die Selbstdarstellung Lovis Corinths. 1996 promovierte sie über den deutschen Realismus an der Freien Universität Berlin. 1996-1998 war sie Postdoc-Stipendiatin am Graduiertenkolleg «Rhetorik-Repräsentation-Wissen», Europa-Universität Viadrina Frankfurt/Oder.
Ihre Arbeitsschwerpunkte sind zeitgenössische Kunst, Kunst des 19. Jahrhunderts, Niederländische Kunst des 17. Jahrhunderts, Kunsttheorie und Ästhetik, Theorie der Wahrnehmung, Geschichte der Kunstgeschichte und Geschlechterforschung.

Katharina Fritsch im Gespräch mit Julian Heynen
Freitag, 30. November 2012, 19 Uhr, MMK Museum für Moderne Kunst, Domstrasse 10
In der dritten Ausgabe der gemeinsam von der Städelschule und dem Museum für Moderne Kunst konzipierten Veranstaltungsreihe MMK Talks dreht sich alles um das Thema "The Artists". Herausragende Künstler aus der MMK Sammlung diskutieren mit jeweils einem Gesprächspartner ihrer Wahl.
Katharina Fritsch wird 1956 in Essen geboren. Sie ergreift zunächst das Studium Geschichte und Kunstgeschichte in Münster, wechselt jedoch 1977 die Fächer und geht an die Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, an der sie bei Fritz Schwegler bis 1984 studiert. 2001 erhält Fritsch eine Professur für Bildhauerei an der Kunstakademie Münster und seit 2010 lehrt sie an der Kunstakademie Düsseldorf.
Ihre Skulpturen, Objekte, Bilder und Installationen spielen mit der Spannung von Realität und Irrealem, von Surrealem und Unheimlichem, von Sein und Schein. In ihrer plakativen Zeichenhaftigkeit, ihrer Einprägsamkeit weisen die in veränderten medialen Zusammenhängen gezeigten Objekte durchaus Parallelen zur populären Bildwelt, zu computergenerierten Icons und Bildkürzeln oder comichaften Figuren auf.
Fritschs Objekte basieren auf einem die künstlerische »Vision« rekonstruierenden, aber zugleich auch an den industriell gefertigten figürlichen Alltagserzeugnissen ausgerichteten skulpturalen Entwicklungsprozess. Die Künstlerin bedient sich dabei aktueller Fabrikationstechniken, produziert Prototypen aus Polyester, Plastik, Plexiglas. Werke wie ihre bekannte Tischgesellschaft (1988), eine Installation männlicher Figuren an zwei Seiten eines langen, ornamental bedeckten Tisches, zeigen dies in ihrer formalisierten Figürlichkeit und der deckenden schwarz-weißen Farbigkeit der seriellen Gestalten, die dem gesamten Ensemble eine ebenso unpersönliche wie irreale Dimension verleihen. Zugleich erscheinen solche Arbeiten auch wie skulpturale Fassungen medial vermittelter Bilder, wie manifest gewordene Klischees.
Julian Heynen studierte Kunst- und Literaturgeschichte und promovierte über den amerikanischen Maler Barnett Newman. Seit den achtziger Jahren Kurator und Autor für zeitgenössische Kunst. Assistent am Wilhelm-Lehmbruck-Museum, Duisburg, Ausstellungsleiter und stellv. Direktor der Krefelder Kunstmuseen (Museum Haus Lange, Museum Haus Esters, Kaiser Wilhelm Museum). Danach Künstlerischer Leiter von K21 Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen. Seit 2009 Künstlerischer Leiter für besondere Aufgaben bei der Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen. 2003 und 2005 Kommissar des deutschen Pavillons auf der Biennale von Venedig, 2007 Ko-Kurator der Shanghai Biennale. 2007 bis 2010 Teilnehmer der Fernsehsendung „Bilderstreit“ (3SAT).
