Frieze – Group exhibition at Kunsthalle m3

“Frieze” in architecture refers to a long band of carved, modelled or painted decoration, usually adorning buildings just under the roof or ceiling. This form of architectural ornamentation had its origins in Antiquity and was particularly widespread in Ancient Greece, Egypt and Rome.

The frieze is the chosen format for the fourth annual exhibition of the Berlin-based artists’ group, InFormat. The members of this international collective are Paul Barnett (NZ), Nicole Heinzel (UK/GER), Michelle Lloyd (IRL), Ivan Lacaze (FRA), Karla Marchesi (AUS), Enda O’Donoghue (IRL), Cameron Rudd (UK) and Alex Tennigkeit (GER).

Contrary to narrative friezes in art history such as the Athenian life scenes in the Parthenon Frieze or Gustav Klimt’s homage to the composer in his Beethoven Frieze, InFormat did not set themselves a designated “theme”. A common height of 80cm and each individual’s interpretation of “frieze”, were the project’s only stipulations. This optical common denominator and the hanging itself will determine the dialogue between the artists’ panels and the space of the hall – an on-site story unfurls.

While conceptions of Irish diaspora for many years have been intertwined with ideas of forced emigration, in recent times emigration does not necessarily have to be associated with the immense sadness of separation and final farewells which led to the creation of rituals such as The American Wake.

‘Faraway Longings’ looks at the positive impacts of the Irish artistic diaspora in Germany and by its very nature in gathering a selection of Berlin-based practitioners will touch on the themes of emigration, travel, cultural dispersal and cross-pollination.

The initial exhibition concept draws upon two terms used in the German language: Wanderlust which specifically describes a state of being where one has a strong desire or is impelled to wander and rove, and similarly Fernweh, the longing for travel far from home where grass may seem greener. These journeys can be physical, spiritual or metaphorical as can be the concept of distance. In part, the exhibition investigates dichotomies and attempts at reconciliation in cultures where travelers may find themselves, perhaps in an intermediate state, existing wholly in neither place, but on certain levels operating consciously in both. 

While the participating artists in this exhibition are bound together by their geographic location, a broad spectrum of media highlights the diversity of their practices. The selection of works incorporates painting, photography, film and sculpture, which deal with themes relating to personal and collective memories, methods of representation and complex concepts of alienation in a globalized and post-colonial world.

 

Sightings – solo exhibition at the Pantocrator Gallery, Shanghai – opening 24th Oct

Opens 24th October 7pm till 9pm
Exhibition runs from 24th October until 7th November
 
This exhibition is the first solo show in China by Berlin based Irish artist Enda O’Donoghue. He will be presenting a series of new paintings created specifically for this exhibition based on found photographs of UFO sightings ​in 1973 ​from ​various places ​around the world. According to many sources 1973 was a bumper year for UFO sightings, it has been called “The Great UFO Wave”. Hundreds of sightings were reported throughout the United States and in many other countries across the globe. Some of these reports included tales of abductions, some with elaborate descriptions of humanoid like beings and some included photographs purporting to show the alien crafts or “flying saucers”. In O’Donoghue’s paintings all traces of these mysterious crafts have been removed.
 
Born in 1973 in Limerick, Ireland, O’Donoghue has been living and working in Berlin since 2002. His work has previously been shown in China in a number of group exhibitions, such as at the Irish pavilion for the Expo in Shanghai in 2010. He has taken part in numerous international group exhibitions, including shows at CHB, Berlin (2014), Meter Room, Coventry (2012), The Moscow Museum of Modern Art (2011), Universal Cube, Leipzig (2008), Four Gallery, Dublin (2006), The Institute for Contemporary Art, Copenhagen (2006) and a number of solo shows in Berlin, Ireland and in 2009 a solo exhibition in New York. In 2012 his work was presented in a major solo exhibition at the Limerick City Gallery of Art, Ireland and in 2014 he was awarded a residency at the Golden Foundation for the Arts in New York state. He has also curated a number of group exhibitions, most recently an exhibition presenting a selection of Berlin based Irish artists at Grimmmuseum in Berlin which toured to the Galway Arts Centre, Ireland in 2013.

目击 SIGHTINGS
恩达奥 ∙ 多诺休 上海个展
Pantocrator画廊 ∙ 上海M50创意园
开幕仪式:10月24日 7-9PM
展览开放:10月24日-11月7日

本次展览是来自柏林的爱尔兰艺术家恩达 ∙ 奥多诺休在中国首次个展。他将展示一系列专门为本次展览创作的画作。这些画作以1973年世界各地的UFO目击事件照片为灵感来源。1973年是UFO目击事件的爆发年,这一时期也被称为“UFO大浪潮”。数以百计的目击报告涌现于美国各地和许多其他国家。有些报告包含绑架经历,有的详细描述了类人形生物,而一些图像报告意在呈现外星产物或“飞碟”。在奥多诺休的作品中,这些神秘元素已被剔除。

1973年生于爱尔兰利默里克市,奥多诺休自2002年以来一直工作并生活在柏林。在中国,奥多诺休的画作曾在多个群展被展出,包括在2010年举办的上海世博会的爱尔兰展馆。奥多诺休也曾参加过许多国际联展,包括柏林CHB(2014),考文垂 ”电表房”(2012),莫斯科博物馆现代艺术展(2011),莱比锡“万能魔方”(2008),都柏林“四廊”(2006),哥本哈根当代艺术研究所(2006),以及若干个在柏林,爱尔兰的展览和2009年在纽约的个展。 2012年,爱尔兰的利默里克市美术馆举行了大型奥多诺休个人作品展;2014年,他被邀请参加了金艺术基金会在纽约州的艺术家体验创作项目。奥多诺休近期策划并参与了许多群展。最近一次展览在2013年,包含了多位在柏林的爱尔兰艺术家的作品,由柏林格林兄弟博物馆首发,巡回展览最后到达爱尔兰高威艺术中心。

PANORAMA

In the present day, with huge crystal clear high definition widescreen televisions and mobile phone apps which can stitch photos together to create seamless 360 degrees views, the power of the panorama has been somewhat diluted. However not so long ago it was difficult not to conjure up ideas of cinema, or what could be described as the cinematic view, when confronted by panoramic images. One of the chief reasons that cinema adopted the widescreen formats, such as the classic CinemaScope format, was to compete with the rising popularity of television in the 1950’s and these new formats became quickly favoured for epic movies often of a religious or historic flavour.

In previous centuries painting adopted the panoramic format and similarly used it to depict major historical events and heroic battle scenes. In fact the word “panorama” has its origins in painting, it was coined in the late 18th Century by the Anglo-Irish painter Robert Barker to describe his own 360 degree cityscape paintings of Edinburgh and London which were presented on a cylindrical surface. These proved to be hugely popular with the public and soon a trend in panoramic painting spread across Europe. The poet William Wordsworth famously took an extreme dislike to the format, describing it as a charade which inhibited people’s ability to imagine things for themselves. Despite this the panoramic format continued to proliferate and with the invention of photography the format was quickly adopted by assembling multiple images to create single wide views. This eventually evolved into the moving panorama which was a precursor to the motion picture and cinema itself.

This exhibition presents individual works by eight different painters which are all in the same scaled panoramic format, a 2:1 format but each tackling very different ideas, themes and images. This is the third exhibition in an ongoing series once again bringing together the work of these eight international Berlin-based artists. Like the two previous exhibitions, 6 Squared (2013) and Triptych (2014), each artist has created one new work specifically for this show which responds to the constraints and challenges but also the insights and discoveries from working within a particular pre-defined format.

Landscape – Metropolis exhibition photos

Landscape – Metropolis

This large-scale exhibition of Finnish Environmental Art in collaboration with Irish curator John Power of G11, and a myriad of Irish/Finnish/Berlin-based artists takes place for the first time in Berlin’s Metropolis, creating a unique platform for the exchange of ideas.

The show encompasses an impressive variety of media and scale including large sculptural installations, pho- tography, painting and video works. Concerns for the ecological and the poetic are knitted together in the apt setting of this former power station in Berlin-Schönweide, literally translated to ‘pretty pasture’. Sadly all rem- nants of these green meadows have long since vanished following Berlin’s industrialization. However, like the remote Finnish forests, or even barren Irish landscapes, Berlin’s industrial wasteland has become the perfect playground for artists, with space and freedom for experimentation, as one can see in this dynamic exhibition.

Environmental Art is a term often used in Finland, broadly encompassing but not limited to: ephemeral, site-specific, outdoor installations, city interventions, works often rejecting the white cube, engaging with natu- ral or recycled materials, with a focus on the ecological, ethical and the socio-political themes.

In this exhibition the viewer will experience the visceral and the tactile, in an eclectic mix of delicate materials and surreal experiences, such as Heli Hietala’s eerie use of carefully collected goose feathers in her hanging sculpture Birdies, or Jonne Pitkänen’s strange kinetic installations hiding in the cellar.

While Kevin Ryan’s House works are a playful response to the ever-growing urban environment of contempo- rary life, Alma Heikkilä’s painting, 10€ ( Money refers to it self) is a palpable comment on our current economic crisis and echoes the themes of Elva Mulchrone’s painting Economic Landscape V11, informed by the cyclical nature of repeat patterns and the consequences of macroeconomic policy through the process of painting.

Freezing moments of our high-speed digital reality of throwaway imagery, Enda O’Donoghue offers a moment’s respite in his slow, fastidious, almost mathematical painting, The Wet Collections. Similarly, dealing with our digital realities, Saara-Maria Kariranta’s approach embraces the possibilities of 3D printing, merging traditional sculptural techniques with contemporary technology.

An unassuming allure characterizes many of the artworks in this show, such as Sirpa Jokinen’s birdcage instal- lation, Chalk Scattered on a Birdcage, Dust Covering a Portrait. Kaisu Koivisto’s work from the series Land- scapes of Longing (Wünsdorf) poetically highlights our climate of uncertainties with natural scenery blemished with signs of exploitation in redundant military sites. While a strong presence is felt in the more contemplative paintings of Tapani Hyypiä, this contrasts again with the more chaotic, unabashedly defiant and vibrant works of artist duo Moseke & Pelda.

This is just a small flavour of some of the artworks to be experienced in this ambitious exhibition. Landscape-Metropolis hints at the motif of nature in its various guises, with a plea to preserve these sacred spaces in the face of economic pressures, yet acknowledges the constant flux in our environment, our ever expanding cities, and the impossibility of a clear didacticism as they inevitably mesh. Despite uncertain times these artists, each in their own way, show their persistence to grapple with our changing environments.

This exhibition celebrates LARU ART Association, Finland’s 10th anniversary. LARU ART Association is a Hel- sinki-based non-profit whose purpose is to promote environmental awareness, art creation and artists collabo- ration.

MUU is an artist run, Finnish interdisciplinary artist association, founded in 1987 to represent and promote new and experimental forms of art. It is the largest one of its’ kind in Finland. PERFORMANCE VOYAGE 5 show- cases video performances by 13 artists and collectives. The PV5 compilation theme is “Domestic”, implying such concepts as national, home and even homelessness, as well as family, native, national, political point of view, and immigration.

Landscape – Metropolis

Diese umfangreiche Ausstellung umweltbezogener Kunst von einer Vielzahl irischer, finnischer und Berliner Künstler in Zusammenarbeit mit dem irischen Kuratoren John Power von G11 Berlin findet erstmalig in Berlin statt und schafft eine einzigartige Plattform für den Austausch von Ideen.

Die Ausstellung umfasst verschiedene Medien, darunter skulpturale Installationen, Fotografie, Malerei und Videoarbeiten. Unter dem Dach des ehemaligen Kraftwerks in Berlin-Schöneweide werden Bezüge zwischen Ökologie und Poesie hergestellt. Die ‚schönen Weiden’ sind seit langem der Industrialisierung gewichen. Nun- mehr sind die heutigen Berliner Industriebrachen, ebenso wie die versteckten finnischen Wälder oder auch die kargen irischen Landschaften, für Künstler zur perfekten Aktionsfläche mit viel Freiraum zum Experimentieren geworden. Dies ist in dieser dynamischen deutlich Ausstellung zu erkennen.

Umweltbezogene Kunst ist in Finnland ein oft verwendeter Begriff, der weitgehend seinen Fokus auf ökolo- gische, ethische und sozio-politische Themen legt, in Bezug auf die Ausführung jedoch keine Grenzen setzt. So können u.a. Freiland-Installationen, Stadt Interventionen oder die Auseinandersetzung mit natürlichen oder wiederverwertbaren Materialien thematisiert werden.

In dieser Ausstellung erleben die Besucher das Wesentliche und Spürbare in einer eklektischen Mischung aus empfindlichen Materialien und surrealen Erfahrungen. Heli Hietala verwendet sorgfältig gesammelte Gänsefed- ern in ihrer hängende Skulptur Birdies und Jonne Pitkänen’s seltsame kinetischen Installationen erstrahlen versteckt im Keller des Gebäudes.

Während Kevin Ryan’s Häuser eine spielerische Antwort auf die ständig wachsende städtische Umwelt des modernen Lebens sind, kommentiert Alma Heikkilä’s große Malerei 10€ (Money refers to is self) die aktuelle wirtschaftliche Krise. Dies spiegelt auch das Thema von Elva Mulchrone’s Gemälde Economic Landscape V11, welches durch die zyklische Natur sich wiederholender Muster und die Auswirkungen makroökonomischer Politik durch den Prozess der Malerei gekennzeichnet ist.

Eingefrorenen Momente unserer high-speed Digital Reality von Wegwerfbildern. Enda O’Donoghue bietet eine kurze Ruhepause in seinem langsamen, anspruchsvollen, fast mathematischen Gemälde The Wet Col- lections. Der Umgang mit unseren digitalen Realitäten ist ebenfalls Saara-Maria Kariranta’s Thema. Sie nutzt die Möglichkeiten des 3D-Drucks um traditionelle bildhauerische Techniken mit moderner Technologie zusam- menzuführen.

Für viele Kunstwerke dieser Ausstellung ist ein besonderer Reiz kennzeichnend, wie Sirpa Jokinen’s Instal- lation eines Vogelkäfigs Chalk Scattered on a Birdcage, Dust Covering a Portrait. Kaisu Koivisto’s Arbeiten aus der Serie Landscapes of Longing (Wünsdorf) unterstreichen poetisch unser Klima der Unsicherheit, ausgedrückt in Fotografien von natürlichen Landschaften, die mit Anzeichen von Ausbeutung in redundanten militärischen Standorten verunreinigt sind. Die kontemplativen Gemälde von Tapani Hyypiä zeigen Präsenz und stehen in Kontrast zu den chaotischen und lebendigen Werken des Künstlerduos Moseke & Pelda.

Dies ist nur ein kleiner Einblick in einige der Kunstwerke die in dieser ambitionierten Ausstellung zu sehen sind. Landscape-Metropolis weist auf das Motiv der Natur in ihren unterschiedlichen Erscheinungsformen, mit einem starken Plädoyer für den Erhalt dieser heilige Räume angesichts wirtschaftlichen Drucks. Dennoch finden die konstanten Veränderungen in unserer Umwelt und in unseren ständig wachsenden Städten ihre Anerkennung. Aufgrund der Unmöglichkeit einer klaren Didaktik verwickeln sie sich zwangsläufig ineinander. Trotz unsicherer Zeiten zeigen diese Künstler, ein jeder auf seine Weise, ihre Position zu unseren sich verän- dernden Umgebungen.

Die Ausstellung feiert den 10. Jahrestag des Bestehens von LARU Art Association Finnland. LARU Art Associ- ation ist ein in Helsinki ansässiger gemeinnütziger Verein zum Zweck der Förderung von Umweltbewusstsein, Kunst und der Zusammenarbeit von Künstlern.

MUU ist ein finnischer interdisziplinärer Künstlerverband, 1987 gegründet um neue experimentelle Formen der Kunst zu fördern und zu vertreten. Er ist der größte seiner Art in Finnland. PERFORMANCE VOYAGE 5 zeigt Video Performances von 13 Künstlern und Gruppen. Das PV5 Thema ist “Domestic”, was Begriffe wie Heimat, Obdachlosigkeit sowie Familie, Politik und Einwanderung umfasst.
