Fassbinder: Berlin Alexanderplatz’ at KW Institute

August 24, 2010

for those people who’ve kept up with my eclectic postings know this i some of my all time fav films. it’s a long one for sure 16 hours. i first saw it on PBS when they were a public educational television station, now they are just a tape playing house showing safe nature films and raising money to line the executives pockets. i’ve been there done that. has anyone who’s seen the replacement of Bill Moyers and Now know

Press

Berlin– The monumental film Berlin Alexanderplatz that Rainer Werner Fassbinder made for television is based on Alfred Döblin’s 1929 novel. The film consists of thirteen episodes and an epilogue. It runs to fifteen hours and thirty-nine minutes. When it was first screened in Germany in 1980, it triggered heated debates and gained international recognition as one of the cinematic masterpieces of the past decades. A meticulously restored 35-mm version of Berlin Alexanderplatz Remastered  has been successfully presented to the public at the 57th Berlin International Film Festival in February.  On exhibition 18 March until 13 My, 2007.

Press

On March 17, 2007, KW Institute for Contemporary Art will open Fassbinder: Berlin Alexanderplatz – An Exhibition. The show will present this unusual and fascinating work in a way that enables visitors to choose their own mode of approach. In fourteen separate rooms, the episodes and the epilogue of Berlin Alexanderplatz will be screened in permanent loop. In addition, all the episodes will be shown in chronological order and full length on a central big screen. Visitors can thus decide how they approach Berlin Alexanderplatz: they can divide its unusual length up into pieces, watch episodes several times, or return to the exhibition whenever they like, as the entrance ticket entitles holders to repeated visits. The parallel screening of all the episodes in one place will highlight Fassbinder’s impressive visual idiom and his artistically challenging, free and innovative use of images.

The epilogue to Berlin Alexanderplatz marks a high point in Fassbinder’s creative work, combining visual and narrative planes in a complex collage that anticipates contemporary artistic positions. The exhibition also presents stills from the film’s 224 scenes. Moreover sketches from Fassbinders storyboard will be on view for the first time ever. A further, highly personal document are the tapes on which Fassbinder himself recorded his script for the film and which have never previously been made accessible to the public.

The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue (in German; approx. 600 pages), edited by Klaus Biesenbach, with essays by Susan Sontag and Rainer Werner Fassbinder. The catalogue includes extensive illustrations. Furthermore the publication contains the complete screenplay as well as the biography, blbliography and filmography. Curator: Klaus Biesenbach.

Press

KW Institute for Contemporary Art is regularly listed among Germany’s foremost modern art institutions and attracts international media coverage. KW has no collection of its own but instead views itself as a laboratory for communicating and advancing contemporary cultural developments in Germany and abroad by means of exhibitions, workshops and resident artists’ studios, as well as by collaborating with artists or other institutions and by commissioning works.

Founded in the early 1990s by Klaus Biesenbach and a group of young art enthusiasts, the institution is located on the site of a abandoned margarine factory in Berlin’s Mitte district. It symbolizes, perhaps more than any other institution, the city’s development into a center of contemporary art in the decade after the fall of the Wall.  As well as presenting the first solo shows or major new projects of outstanding international artists such as Doug Aitken, Dinos & Jake Chapman, Paul Pfeiffer, Santiago Sierra and Jane & Louise Wilson, KW also introduced emerging new artists from Berlin and elsewhere in Germany to a wider public.

Forbidden City, artistic opportunity, call for participation

July 13, 2010

Winkel & Balktick Present…

STRANDED III: The Forbidden City
Saturday, September 4, 2010

Open Meetings & Socials: 7/22, 8/5, 8/26

Stranded: The Forbidden City is a one-night foray into a magical metropolis of imagination, hidden inside an enormous warehouse in Brooklyn.  We are seeking installations, activities, performances, and games to entertain and delight the City’s tourists.  Projects that are all of those things at once are ideal.  Volunteers of all stripes are also welcome.

As the name suggests, the theme is an exploration of cities, past, present and future, real and imagined.  Of course, the title is a double-entendre, suggesting both Beijing’s dynasty-era grandeur, and also a libertine red light district.  Artists are free to explore either or both meanings, or simply run the laundromat of their dreams.

This is the third annual Stranded event.  It started on Labor Day weekend 2008 at the Brewery warehouse in Bushwick as a gathering for those unable to attend Burning Man.  Last year the event expanded to a 26,000 square foot warehouse palace in Sunset Park, and began attracting a wider variety of artists and attendees.  This year, we are going to continue the trend with more space, art and friends and raise the bar for creative revelry to skyscraper heights.

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

This should provide you more information than you need about how to participate in Stranded 2010.

If your project requires a stipend, please apply no later than August 6.  The final deadline is August 20.  The submission process is detailed below, after the answers to all of the questions you have. Please understand that we may not be able to accommodate all submissions.

If you want to participate, but aren’t sure how, please fill out a volunteer form using the link below.

Quick submission form: http://wandbnyc.com/forbiddenart
Quick volunteer form: http://wandbnyc.com/civilservants
Art questions: evalansberry@gmail.com
Volunteer questions: pneumaticdevotion@gmail.com
General inquiries: info@wandbnyc.com

OPEN MEETINGS & WALKTHROUGHS

We will be holding open meetings and venue walkthroughs on Thursday, July 22, Thursday, August 5 and Thursday, August 26 from 7:30pm-10pm.  These are a great place to meet people, throw around and ideas, and have a good time.  Food and drink will be served.  The meeting location is in Dumbo.

RSVP to info@wandbnyc.com with the date of the meeting you with to attend.

URBAN RENEWAL

Artists are invited to construct an interactive establishment that one might find in The Forbidden City.  Projects that have an activity, performance other social interaction are strongly encouraged.

Take a familiar city institution or feature, and give it a creative twist.  Examples of potential establishments include post offices, jails, bus stops, libraries, banks, train stations, DMVs, parks, laundromats, stores and boutiques, theaters and entertainment venues, voter polling station, restaurants and cafes, courthouses, spas, galleries and of course, offices.

Standalone or roving sculpture and installation is also welcome, but priority may be given to establishments as described above.

THE CITY IS A STAGE

We will have a performance venue at the party.  If you have a stage act– musical, theatrical, comical or unclassifiable, please apply and include photos, audio or other samples of your work.  There is a limited amount of stage time, so please understand that we may not be able to accommodate all performances, or feature length works.

Note that we do not accept solicitations for DJs, but if you send us mixes, we will listen to them.

THE LAW OF THE LAND

A strong D.I.Y. ethic is important. We can provide the space for your project, a crowd to enjoy it, transportation assistance and a modest stipend, but it’s ultimately up to you to get it together, make it happen and clean it up afterwards.

Establishments may be anywhere from 100 square feet to 2,000 square feet.  While we welcome sound installations, we already have a live music and dance music venue and are not seeking others.  Your project should not be likely to combust, injure or kill anyone.  In general, we do not allow projects to charge money or solicit donations.

THE FORBIDDEN CITY BANK

We can pay for the cost of approved projects. These are guaranteed to be reimbursed, even if the event is not profitable. If the event is profitable, we tip out on top of this. Consider $0 – $500 the effective range for requests. We can also provide transportation assistance.  If you need a stipend, please apply ASAP.

Each project is a unique little snowflake, and we evaluate stipends on a case-by-case basis. Small budgets are easier to accommodate than large ones. On the other hand, if you have the greatest idea we’ve ever seen and a solid track record, we may be OK with splurging.

Note that in order to qualify for reimbursements for materials, you must keep your receipts and submit them to us in a timely manner.

ENOUGH TEASING! HOW DO I JOIN YOU?

If you have questions, contact the W&B creative director Eva at evalansberry@gmail.com.

Please fill out this form:
http://wandbnyc.com/forbiddenart

To make a submission, you will need to know the following information:

* Your name, and the names of other artists involved
* Your phone number
* A description of your project
* A detailed, itemized budget for materials and costs
* Setup duration

* Will it require rigging from the ceiling or a wall?

You will hear from us within three business days with questions, suggestions, etc. Sometimes we need to know more, have suggestions, or just need time to decide among many worthy proposals.

It may take up to ten business days to approve or decline your submission. If this wait is a problem, please let us know up front.

WHO ARE THE MAYORS OF THIS CITY?

Mark Winkel & Kevin Balktick are a pair of Brooklyn-based event producers. They met in 2005 when they became neighbors in a block-sized live/work warehouse in Dumbo. Over the course of five years, they have produced 12 feature events. In that time, their vision and following has grown from a single loft to cavernous warehouses.

Along with a dedicated community of artists, crew and volunteers, they transform mundane urban spaces into immersive fantasy environments. Their tools are larger-than-life installation art, extravagant costumes, decadent themes, surreal performances and action-packed dancefloors.

Their 2010 New Year’s Eve production, Transmutation , was held in a 30,000 square foot warehouse and was attended by 2,500 people. In February 2010, they were featured in a New York Times article about creative Brooklyn nightlife.

pathetic ny photo awards announcement

July 7, 2010

i am really disappointed with the nyphotoawards whom just posted the entire winners of the award on 7/6/2010 of a festival held on 5/12-16/2010 with awards given out on 5/14/2010 via their unsigned newsletter.

were these guys drunk and in jail or in rehab? i know they weren’t off fighting a war unless it was with themselves. can you image the incompetence of a photo festival in not showing the pictures of the winning image? or announcing the winners two months after the awards were given out

these guys are the most inept festival organizers well i am being nice even to think they were organized which this just proves.

i’ve given my time and energy, to say nothing of entry fees money, volunteering for this festival and i’ll never do it again.

i questioned the choice of exhibits and  artist but i gave them the artistic latitude which didn’t fit my aesthetic judgment but then again who am i?

it seems i am more on the ball than this group of bimbos. a fool is one who is fooled twice and i will not be one anymore. too many of these festivals and  photograph contest are all about making money for the organizations. it seems this is one of them.

boo who for the loss of a fine opportunity. the fools are amongst us, least they not be us.

maybe they will go away before suckering more young photographers only if we ignore them.

Guggenheim Foundation and YouTube Seek Budding Video Artists

June 16, 2010

ever want to push the limits of your creativity, even though or maybe because you own one of canon’s video dslr, i just found out to my disappointment than my 5D MII doesn’t shoot 60 fps while the newer cameras do, it’s just they aren’t full frame. nobody wants to talk about the 5D MIII coming out with this capability or any other thing they might have forgotten.sometimes i just want to switch to nikon but the thought of changing all those lenses and stuff is rather intimidating.

but this isn’t what this post is about my disappointment nor canon’s  latest opps factor. this is about an opportunity for you

bill viola video artist

bill viola

Bill Viola pioneered the video art form nearly 30 years ago, when hardly anybody was experimenting with it. He likes to combine Buddhism and Zen concepts in his videography. This image is taken from his 1996 video “The Crossing,” a super-slow-moving video of a man walking. He’s just walking, on a life-sized projector, through fire and rain. It’s mesmerizing.

New York, New York – For artists, being included in a museum exhibition generally means first having to penetrate the well-guarded gates of a prestigious art gallery. But now the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation and YouTube are aiming to short-circuit that exclusionary art-world system, at least briefly, in much the same way that other hierarchical systems have been blown apart in the Internet age. Beginning Monday anyone with access to a video camera and a computer will have an opportunity to catch the eye of a Guggenheim curator and vie for a place in a video-art exhibition in October at all of the foundation’s museums: the Solomon R. Guggenheim in New York, the Deutsche Guggenheim in Berlin, the Guggenheim Bilbao in Spain and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice.

The project, called YouTube Play and conceived as a biennial event, is intended to discover innovative work from unexpected sources. It is open even to entrants who don’t consider themselves artists, and actively encourages the participation of people with little or no experience in video. “People who may not have access to the art world will have a chance to have their work recognized,” said Nancy Spector, deputy director and chief curator of the Guggenheim Foundation. “We’re looking for things we haven’t seen before.”

For YouTube the project is one in a series of experiments in tradition busting. In late 2008 it created the YouTube Symphony Orchestra, which allowed any musician to audition for a concert at Carnegie Hall conducted by Michael Tilson Thomas; the previous year it helped create the CNN/YouTube debates, giving everyone with a Web cam a chance to ask a question of a presidential candidate.

“What we’re doing is removing the middle man,” said Hunter Walk, director of product management for YouTube. “Whether it be Carnegie Hall or the Guggenheim, we’re giving people a way to see the aspirational light on the hill. And not just online but in the physical world too.”

While the company does not publicly discuss it, some of its officials say it is also hoping that collaborations with august institutions like Carnegie Hall and the Guggenheim Foundation will attract high-end advertisers.

Applicants will be able to submit their videos (only one entry per person) starting Monday, uploading them on a channel created for the initiative, also called YouTube Play (youtube.com/play). The works must have been created within the past two years and cannot be longer than 10 minutes, made for commercial use or excerpted from longer videos. The deadline for submissions is July 31.

A team of Guggenheim curators will look at all the submissions — the foundation is expecting many thousands, Ms. Spector said — and narrow them down to 200, which will be seen by a jury of nine professionals in disciplines like the visual arts, filmmaking and animation, graphic design and music. (Ms. Spector, who will be a juror herself, is putting the group together.) Although the jurors will know the names of entrants, Ms. Spector said, the makeup of the jury should be diverse enough to prevent art-world or other biases from infecting the process.

con leche

Then, in October, the jurors’ final selection of 20 videos will be on simultaneous view at all the Guggenheim museums. And the 200 that made it through the first round will be available on the YouTube Play channel.

There will be no first prizes or runners-up among the 20, Ms. Spector said, “because this is not about finding the best, but making a selection that represents the most captivating and surprising work.”

That work could come, the foundation and YouTube say, from any quarter. “Within the last few years you can get a camera and for a few hundred dollars get the tools to create Hollywood magic,” Mr. Walk said. And Hewlett-Packard, which is collaborating on the project, is not only providing hardware to all the Guggenheim museums for displaying the videos, it is also offering online tutorials on YouTube Play to teach skills like editing, animation and lighting to the video-naïve.

While Ms. Spector and YouTube say they created the project as a way of breaking down traditional art-world boundaries, some in that world question how meaningful it really is.

“Hit-and-run, no-fault encounters between curators and artists, works and the public, will never give useful shape to the art of the present nor define the viewpoint of institutions,” said Robert Storr, dean of the Yale University School of Art, the organizer of the 2007 Venice Biennale and a former senior curator at the Museum of Modern Art, in an e-mail message from Europe.

“It’s time to stop kidding ourselves,” Mr. Storr added. “The museum as revolving door for new talent is the enemy of art and of talent, not their friend — and the enemy of the public as well, since it refuses to actually serve that public but serves up art as if it was quick-to-spoil produce from a Fresh Direct warehouse.”

But those involved in the project, naturally, see it differently. “If this is all the Guggenheim did, it would be a problem,” Ms. Spector said. “There are many layers to our programming. And we can’t say at this point that this won’t spawn ongoing relationships with people we discover through this process. One can only hope that it will.”

New York Photo 2010 Festival, impressions

May 21, 2010

once again i volunteered for the new york photo festival which allows me free access to the exhibits, well free if you don’t count my time doing not much but standing around looking or checking peoples day passes.

every year it’s different but held in the same dumbo area of brooklyn just different spaces. i’ve always liked the photographers presentations in st. ann’s theater but i didn’t see many of them this year and the couple i did see i wasn’t that impressed with. but hey that’s me i am from new york and a tough audience.

there is a nice article in pdn about apeture foundation’s two part seminar on strategies for emerging photographers here. another article in pdn is a quick preview of the festival.

as curator erik kessel wrote in his galley at smack mellon catalog ‘what is photography?’ as his selections were artist not using photography in the conventional way but using it as a tool to create something totally different than one would think.

a lager portion of the festival was european influenced. one can see some interviews with curators and artist here but i am quite disappointed that not all the winners work is displayed on new york photo festival web site. see winners & honorable mentions for names but no links to work. the question arises in my mind is this a photographic festival or what?

last year everyone who entered images to the festival had their 15 seconds of fame via a slide show in powerhouse book store but the only projected images were from the leica camera photo contest. while last years slide show wasn’t perfect, not even a sign announcing what these images were at least they were photographs.

daniel power does have selections of interim awards videos with comments as does frank evers interm #2 and doug rickard  shows interm #3. i thought it strange that most of the power winners examples had the subject centered, what happened to the ‘thirds rule’? am i being too academic here? i know rules are to be broken but this ‘center subject’ seemed a consistent in powers picks. oh well

there is a nice interview & video of Marc Granger who received a lifetime achievement award.

the link to coverage nyph 10 in 3D directed by martin lenclos showing interviews to exhibitors and visitors got me dizzy watching it. seems they need to have movement just because they could with the cameras view point constantly changing with mouse movement, oh 3D i forgot maybe i am too old but where is the photography? isn’t this a photography festival?

but on to the photography award ceremony that was delayed an 1 1/2 hour for technical difficulties. wonder how many audience members they lost? when they finally decided to go ahead with the presentations they went on without pictures of winning images. i would suggest the festival hire someone with more expertise next time or hey what about a tech rehearsal before hand like they do in other shows.

with all  the technical savvy people here in new york wouldn’t you think someone would have planned this better? why do something half baked? is that better than doing nothing?

winning pictures still aren’t up on the web site.what i found really strange were the winners at least in the student category had to buy tickets to the awards ceremony. ten buck is ten bucks ,especially for students. the question arise did marc have to buy a ticket?

the coolest thing at the festival was leica gave out the M9 cameras to use for the day ands ran a daily photo contest. great marketing  idea, who hasn’t always wanted to carry around a leica. woohoo. great feel to the camera, it really feels like a camera. but for me to see the focus rectangle in the view finder i’d need a cornia replacement. i’ll stick with my canon better or worst.

brooklyn bridge

graffiti

someone not too interested, guess who

no contest winner for me as the theme was nature. but to cap off the day mary and i walked across the crowded brooklyn  bridge to manhattan which we’ve never done before.

but i did meet some interesting people and the hope is to expand who i know and what work i see because it’s all good.

just my opinion
