1:1
PAUL NEAGU : VALIE EXPORT
Friday 29 January 7pm
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Identifying themes, strategies, conceptual
and performative directions in contemporary art, 1:1 program puts
up for the audience an encounter with the seminal work of some
Romanian and international artists. Being designed as a series
of screening evenings, held every month at Centre for Visual Introspection,
1:1 highlights referential artistic practices as regard to the
way the relation between art, public sphere and individual condition
is negotiated. The program aims to share with the audience, through
the specificity of the works selected, aspects related to "the
dematerialization of the object," the autonomy of art, the
concern for the body, for processual or to the art critical engagement
with concrete institutional, social and political realities. At
the same time, by its format, 1:1 sketches subjectively a map
of modern and contemporary art, where certain theoretical and
visual components meet or, conversely, split up, expanding the
understanding of the work of these artists.
PAUL NEAGU (1938-2004) is a central personality
of Neo avant-garde. He was invited to Demarco Gallery, Edinburgh
to exhibit in 1969, alongside Peter Iacobi, Ritzi Iacobi and Ion
Bitzan. In 1970, after the communist authorities annulled his
award for "artistic research," he moved to London. Neagu’s
work ranged from performance, body art and installation, to sculpture,
drawing, painting and printmaking. At the heart of his art are
two elements: the “anthropocosmic” belief and the
engagement with the material and the senses. His practice influenced
a whole generation of British artists such as Anish Kapoor, Antony
Gormley and Tony Cragg. His work is included in the collections
at the Tate, the National Museum of Art Bucharest and the Museum
of Contemporary Art Tokyo.
VALIE EXPORT (1940, Linz) is a provocative
and influential personality of contemporary art, having a practice
in experiemental film, performance, video installation and photography.
Her main topic investigated in her films is the relationship between
power and body and between body and identity inherent in the media.
She took part in documenta 12, 2007 and documenta 6, 1977 in Kassel,
Germany. Between 2003 and 2005 a comprehensive solo exhibition,
was shown in the National Photographic Centre in Paris, the CAAC
Seville, the MAMCO in Geneva, the Camden Arts Center in London
and the Essl Collection in Vienna. Since 1995/1996 she teaches
at the Kunsthochschule für Medien in Cologne, Germany.

Ars Telefonica 2008

The publication Ars Telefonica 2008 accompanies
the homonym project, organized by Centre for Visual Introspection
during September 23rd -27th 2008 in Bucharest. The book gathers
a series of critical texts by a diverse group of art and architectural
theorists, philosophers, critically engaged in debating the current
conditions of social and cultural practice in Romanian public
sphere. The body of texts introduces a glossary of themes, sub-themes
and concepts which relate to the questions launched by the project
and opens, as well, multiple directions of interpretation regarding
the passive/ active relationship between cultural producer and
audience. The publication contains images, short descriptions
of the artistic projects and of the lectures taken place within
the event's framework, as well as an audio CD which documents
the works of studioBASAR, Carl Michael von Hausswolff, Jiri Skala,
Iratxe Jaio & Klass van Gorkum, Bernhard Schreiner.
