Horde — The Netherlands Media Art Institute

Speaking Out Loud
15-11-2008 until 17-01-2009
Opening 14 November 5:00 p.m

The Dutch version of Horde will be part of the “Speaking Out Loud” exhibition.

Netherlands Media Art Institute
Keizersgracht 264
1016 EV Amsterdam
T 020 6237101
F 020 6244423

Speaking Out Loud centers on the processes of both “thinking out loud” and “speaking out.” Thinking out loud describes the associative, dynamic and rather uncontrolled process of simultaneously thinking and speaking about a particular topic. We think out loud to make a suggestion, to put forward an idea or a thought rather than to make a claim. Speaking Out Loud advocates this free and creative process of thinking out loud through artworks that enable a playful and surprising experience of language. This happens in the form of what could be summarised as experimental language exercises or canny transformations and alternations of language.

Meanwhile the act of speaking out demonstrates resistance and the existence of alternative concepts and views. As a democratic act it constitutes a cornerstone of democratic society. In that sense, the exhibition promotes the idea of controversy, dissent and debate as a relevant society shaping strategy. In the light of representative democracies, low voter participation and increasingly levelled concepts of life, Speaking Out Loud attempts to call for taking an active role in the debate. Moreover it explores the subversive power of spoken or written text but also unmasks the inflationary and culturally connoted use of words and phrases.

The artworks in the exhibition deal with the act of speaking, reading and writing. They particularly reflect on and emphasise the performative qualities of language and thus reveal the strong and inseparable connection between words’ meaning and their performance / performer. Renowned novelist Paul Auster captured the act of speaking as “When words come out, fly into the air, live for a moment, and die. Strange, is it not?” It is this fluidity and dynamics of language and its meaning that the exhibition centers on, observes and reflects.

In this fluid state, words fly and dance, thus enabling a mental dialogue between the artwork and its viewer/listener, and opening up to continuous interpretation. The exhibition mainly presents works of Dutch and English language. Thereby it also reflects on a world in which vast distances are bridged with relative facility but where language remains a system of cultural “multivalence”.

Telephone: 415.357.4000
Fax: 415.357.4037

On view at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) from November 8, 2008, through February 8, 2009, The Art of Participation: 1950 to Now presents an overview of the rich and varied history of participatory art practice during the past six decades, exploring strategies and situations in which the public has taken a collaborative role in the art-making process.

1st Public White Cube (2001/2008), by Joachim Blank, Gerrit Gohlke and Karl Heinz Jeron, takes place both online and on-site in a series of eBay auctions. Participants will bid not for ownership of the works on display (created by guest artists selected by Joachim Blank, Gerrit Gohlke and Karl Heinz Jeron), but for the right to alter and reinstall them according to their own proposal.

That was lucky! — NGBK

Opening: 1 November 2008, 15 – 17h

Amongst others my proposal “Sie haben Glück gehabt! Dieses Plakat macht Ihnen nichts vor.” has been chosen at the competition: ‘That was lucky!’ – Art in the underground hosted by NGBK

“‘That was lucky!’ Such a statement of relief is not always free of contradiction and ambiguity. This phrase can be applied to everyday and indeed global events from which we escape more or less consciously, or indeed simply by accident. The phrase also applies to the situation of art in Berlin’s underground which will now be continued at different venues.
We are looking for artistic concepts that reflect these contextual links from a wide range of perspectives. One concept for one area behind the rails can be submitted. The projects, selected by a jury, will be hung and pre-sented in a parallel fashion at three venues for several months, until about June/July 2009.”
(Quote from open call for proposals)

The results of the open artistic competition, in which 198 international artists took part, will be shown from November 2008 to mid-2009 at three underground stations in parallel:

U8: Voltastraße, Bernauer Straße and Weinmeisterstraße.

Artists:
Julia Baier, Martina Becker, BEWEGUNG NURR and Florian Göpfert, Roland Boden, Heike Bollig, Susanne Britz, Dante Busquets, Martin Conrads/Anna Mándoki, Ilse Deberle, Jean-Ulrick Désert, Manfred Eichhorn, Moritz Frei, Rolf Giegold, Alexandra Gneissl, Adrian Göllner, Sebastian Gräfe, Massoud Graf-Hachempour, Caroline von Grone, Irène Hug, Karen Irmer, Karl Heinz Jeron, Lilo Cornelia Karsten, Katja Klein, Kirsten Klöckner, Carsten Kummer, Victor López, Eva-Christina Meier, Connie Mendoza, Claudia Mucha, Barbara Müller, Leo de Munk, Piotr Nathan, Hester Oerlemans, Felix Pestemer, Heiko Pfreundt, Nik Pitton, Ingrid Schütz, Christian Sievers , Hein Spellmann, Bernd Trasberger, URBAN PLANT RESEARCH, Sylvia Winkler/Stephan Köperl, Gloria Zein
