“So athletic” is a two-person collaboration and a night of events and musical performances. It is a show about team participation—the dorkdom, the graphics, the groupings, the coaching, the herd mentality, and expansive mass-market advertisements. The personal goals of the athlete relate to that of the artist in a number of ways: the singular focus and internal needs, the ritual of training vs. going to the studio, the drive to create, personal victories, rallying, pride, gear, and the outward trappings of an active lifestyle—and how advertisements sell it all to a fat guy in a track suit. There is the notion that we all dream about athletic prowess. There is the artistic stereotype vs. the athletic stereotype—the misconception that artists aren’t tough enough for sports, and that jocks have no artistic vision—yet the impetus is the same. Band geeks are up against the clumsiest kids on the team. Violin prodigy vs. sports bar denizen. Every child is taught to be an artist, then discouraged as an adult. Every adult is sold the idea of an athletic lifestyle, as if anybody can run a marathon. My kid could do that. I can do that. I’ll do it tomorrow. Great play.

ICI's PROJECT 35

SCREENING: 
ICI's PROJECT 35 presented by 
Berlin Art Link and ICI at Node Center 
as part of transmediale & CTM's pre-festival weekend Vorspiel 2012

Saturday, January 28, 2012: 4:00pm VIDEO 1 | 6:00pm VIDEO 2
Sunday, January 29, 2012: 4:00pm VIDEO 3 | 6:30pm VIDEO 4

Berlin Art Link and Independent Curators International (ICI) proudly invite you to a screening of Project 35, a 4-part series of video artworks curated by 35 international curators, each invited to select one artist’s video that they think vital for contemporary art audiences across the globe. The resulting compilation, arranged by such renowned curators as Hans Ulrich Obrist, Lars Bang Larsen, and Chus Martinez, will be screened in a four-part series. The screenings will be hosted at Node Curatorial Residency Center on January 28 & 29, 2012 and will feature video works from Manon de Boer, Andrea Buttner, Stephen Sutcliffe, Kota Ezawa and Phu Nam Thuc Ha.

The 25 year anniversary of the transmediale and CTM's Vorspiel reminds us of why it was founded: to be a platform for experimental media and video art. Since then, video art has evolved into a substantial part of contemporary art. While the works sometimes lack accessibility, the position of video art is again in discussion with the dynamics of off- and online DIY culture. Showcasing a new exhibition concept for ICI, this eclectic compilation of works reveals the global reach that video has achieved as a contemporary art medium today.

transmediale and CTM's Vorspiel is a pre-festival programme where over 20 partner venues will present a series of exhibition openings, performances, artist talks and special events outside the main venues of either festival. Vorspiel will take place on the weekend prior to both festivals, from Thursday 26 – Sunday 29 January 2012, at independent organisations, galleries, project spaces and other venues across Berlin.

Project 35 is a traveling exhibition produced by Independent Curators International (ICI), New York. The exhibition is made possible, in part, by grants from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, The Cowles Charitable Trust, Foundation for Contemporary Art, The Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation, and the Robert Sterling Clark Foundation; the ICI Board of Trustees; and donors to ICI's Access Fund.

Lynne Marsh - The Philharmonie Project

Lynne Marsh
The Philharmonie Project (Nielsen: Symphony No. 5)
architecture by June14 Meyer-Grohbrügge & Chermayeff
October 27 – December 17, 2011

installation shots by Trevor Good

Comprised of two movements, rather than the traditional three, Carl Nielsen’s Symphony No. 5 is a touchstone of contrast, variance and opposition in the 20th century symphonic canon. Composed in 1921, the piece, its performance and subsequent filming serve as organizing frameworks for Lynne Marsh’s Philharmonie Project (Nielsen: Symphony No. 5). In January of 2011, Marsh filmed the video production team at the Hans Scharoun designed Berlin Philharmonie as they film a live performance of the Nielsen symphony. For each of the Berlin Philharmonic’s concert, the team coordinates the movement of each camera, choreographing it to the musical score. Presented at PROGRAM are two videos, one showing the team as they conduct the cameras’ movements back stage, the other of the empty stage, recorded as a dry-run before the concert, as determined by the shots designed for Nielsen’s symphony. In close collaboration with Marsh, architects Johanna Meyer-Grohbrügge and Sam Chermayeff of June14 have designed a structure that serves as seating while dramatically separating the space in two contrasting parts. Ultimately, the Philharmonie Project is a study on the staging of power systems, the cultural expression of mass consumption and the support structures that enable it to happen.

N.B.K. - Video Of The Month

„In 2010, the series The Video Of The Month, curated by Kathrin Becker, presented international artists from outside the collection. In 2011, selected works of the n.b.k. collection can be seen online here. The emphasis is placed on young video art from Berlin that reflects the international art scene, and thematically underscores the emphases of the collection. Parallel to the presentation on the website, The Video Of The Month will also be screened in the space of Video-Forum." Neuer Berliner Kunstverein.

THE IBB-VIDEOLOUNGE IN THE BERLINISCHE GALERIE

Sven Johne TEARS OF EYEWITNESS

"Over the course of one year, the IBB video lounge will present 12 artists who have drawn attention to themselves with innovative use of the media film and video in recent years. Documentary approaches will appear alongside strategies which reflect on and question the medium itself. Visual aesthetic experiments are also crucial to the works of those artists invited to participate.
The intention is to convey the diversity of the medium in the new programme format. That is why the selected artists are not only young talents who have scarcely made their mark on Berlin’s active art scene but also established representatives of contemporary video art, who will show both early and current work. A new, changing programme of different works will be compiled each month." Berlinische Galerie Landesmuseum für Moderne Kunst, Fotografie und Architektur.
