Of this Tale, I Cannot Guarantee a Single Word
Accompanying catalogue for 'Of this Tale, I cannot guarantee a single word', an exhibition curated by graduating students from the Curating Contemporary Art Department. Exploring the way in which stories are told, 'Of this Tale, I cannot guarantee a single word' looked to literature, comic books, cinema, documentary and oral traditions. Equally the writing in this catalogue not only explores the artists in the show, but also the different genres and media through which we come to learn the stories that form our shared history.
Antes que todo
La muestra se propone penetrar en el presente del arte español. A través de la participación de 56 artistas, no pretende arrojar una mirada totalizadora sobre el aquí y ahora, sino dar mayor visibilidad a formas de trabajo que se han desarrollado en los últimos 20 años. A modo de marco conceptual, el proyecto se ha articulado en torno a la idea de "expectativa", entendida como una bisagra mediadora entre pasado, presente y futuro.
Hay cosas encerradas dentro de los muros que, si salieran de pronto a la calle y gritaran, llenarían el mundo

Mes nuits sont plus belles que vos jours
In a supportive article covering the 4th Berlin Biennial, critic Steven Henry Madoff took a moment to question what many have termed "Biennial Fever," writing, "Are [biennials] here to capture trends or to advance artists' voices in a larger social dialogue? Do they promote international understanding or local interests? Are they bully pulpits for curators turned ideologues, or are they simply there to tap the art market's stopwatch till the next survey of hot new things draws the attention of an ever expanding universe of collectors?" For the 2008 edition of this always-provocative international fair, Curators Adam Szymczyk and Elena Filipovic brought together primarily newly commissioned work by 50 emerging and established international artists for a round-the-clock exhibition that included 63 nightly events. This expansive volume documents it all, and contains contributions by writers, critics and artists including Beatriz Colomina, Bettina Viesmann, Cameron Jamie, Gabriel Kuri, Babette Mangolte, Ahmet Ögüt and Katerina Seda.
Mixed Use, Manhattan
When recession-plagued New York City abandoned its industrial base in the 1970s, performance artists, photographers, and filmmakers found their own mixed uses for the city's run-down lofts, abandoned piers, vacant lots, and deserted streets. Gordon Matta-Clark turned a sanitation pier into the celebrated work Day's End and Betsy Sussler filmed its making; the photographic team Shunk-Kender shot a vast series of images of Willoughby Sharp's Projects: Pier 18 (which included work by Vito Acconci, Mel Bochner, Dan Graham, Matta-Clark, and William Wegman, among others); and Cindy Sherman staged some of her Untitled Film Stills on the streets of Lower Manhattan. Mixed Use, Manhattan documents and...
Desde lo curatorial
Desde lo curatorial reflexiona sobre la curaduría en el Estado español, rozando levemente el contexto latinoamericano. Desde una posición cercana a los modos de hacer, la escritura aquí se aleja de verdades establecidas y estructuras cerradas. No se pretende hacer un repaso histórico ni establecer una taxonomía fija, sino sugerir posibilidades, estrategias, tácticas y prácticas para el incierto terreno de lo contemporáneo, manteniendo una visión orgánica y porosa del comisariado. Los curadores Ángel Calvo Ulloa y Juan Canela conversan con otros profesionales sobre arte y cuestiones político-sociales que atraviesan su trabajo: condiciones laborales, conciliación familiar, relaci...
