HUNTING IN THE DARK

    Max Sudhues / Neben Sonnen / Koffer Berlin | Nieuws

    In een ‘parcours’ van installaties, diverse projecties, videoloops en een grote verscheidenheid aan gecombineerde materialen exploreert Max Sudhues de grensgebieden tussen het analoge en het digitale, tussen licht en schaduw. Hierbij verwijzend naar het ogenschijnlijk statische karakter van alledaagse zaken die in wezen voortdurend onderhevig zijn aan verandering. Elk object blijft ook op zichzelf functioneren binnen de installatie, maar verbindt zich telkens met een bizarre, narratieve en complexe fantasiewereld. Op die manier ontstaan diverse visuele lagen. Max Sudhues zoekt achter de vertrouwde voorgrond in het alledaagse naar momenten van verwarring en vervreemding, naar verschijningen die de gewone perceptie kunnen openbreken.

  • Nihilism

    What is the Nihilism in which we have seen the root of the Revolution of the modern age? The answer, at first thought, does not seem difficult; several obvious examples of it spring immediately to mind. There is Hitler’s fantastic program of destruction, the Bolshevik Revolution, the Dadaist attack on art; there is the background from which these movements sprang, most notably represented by several “possessed” individuals of the late nineteenth century–poets like Rimbaud and Baudelaire, revolutionaries like Bakunin and Nechayev, “prophets” like Nietzsche; there is, on a humbler level among our contemporaries, the vague unrest that leads some to flock to magicians like Hitler, and others to find escape in drugs or false religions, or to perpetrate those “senseless” crimes that become ever more characteristic of these times. But these represent no more than the spectacular surface of the problem of Nihilism. To account even for these, once one probes beneath the surface, is by no means an easy task; but the task we have set for ourselves in this chapter is broader: to understand the nature of the whole movement of which these phenomena are but extreme examples.

  • Invisible exhibition @ Southbank Centre 2012

    Invisible Art brings together works from the past half century that explore ideas related to the invisible and the hidden. The exhibition includes work by some of the most important artists of our time as well as younger artists who have expanded on their legacy.

    From the amusing to the philosophical, there are works you can observe and others you can take part in, such as Jeppe Hein’s Invisible Labyrinth. From Yves Klein’s utopian plans for an ‘architecture of air’ to Robert Barry’s Energy Field (AM 130 KHz) from 1968 – which encourages a heightened awareness of the physical context of the gallery- this exhibition span diverse aesthetic practices and concerns.

    Many of the works in Invisible seek to direct our attention towards the unwritten rules and conventions that shape our understanding of art. Other works invoke invisibility to underscore the limits of our perceptual capacities or to emphasize the role of our imagination in responding to works of art. Some use invisibility as a metaphor that relates to the suppression of information or the political disappearance and marginalization of social groups.

    Artists in the exhibition include Art & Language, Robert Barry, Chris Burden, James Lee Byars, Maurizio Cattelan, Jay Chung, Song Dong, Tom Friedman, Carsten Höller, Tehching Hsieh, Bruno Jakob, Yves Klein, Lai Chih-Sheng, Glenn Ligon, Teresa Margolles, Gianni Motti, Roman Ondák, Yoko Ono and Andy Warhol.
