6th Biennial of Painting – On Landscapes from Museum Dhondt-Dhaenens on Vimeo.

In 2018, the Biennial of Painting is at its sixth edition. The three regional museums of the Lys region are once more working together to exhibit paintings from the last 150 years. This time the Biennial will focus on the landscape, a genre with a longstanding tradition in history, and which is still today a hot topic for many contemporary artists in relation to, among other things, ecology, politics and globalization. On Landscapes

Art, modernity and the Lys region have been interconnected for more than a century and a half - from the 19th century landscape painters, the Flemish expressionists and the New Vision to contemporary creations. In MDD, the landscapes of Constant Permeke and Valerius De Saedeleer, two artists from the museum’s own collection, will serve as a starting point to link the past to the present.

Besides painting, the landscape represented through the moving image will also be covered by means of a number of contemporary films selected by curator Cis Bierinckx. The 7 selected filmworks by Doug Aitken, James Benning, Sebastián Díaz Morales, Lukas Marxt, Enrique Ramírez, Meggy Rustamova and Beatriz Santiago Muñozfor the exhibition engage with the landscape both cinematographically and thematically from a personal perspective, and with much narrative freedom.

7 December 2017 7:00-9:00 PM EXTRA TIME No. 888 Changde Road, Jing’an District, Shanghai Organizer: Chronus Art Center, Supported by the Austrian Consulate-General Shanghai

31 May 2018, 7:30-9:00 PM Depo Lüleci Hendek Caddesi No:12 34433 Tophane, Istanbul, Turkey With the support of Österreichisches Kulturforum Istanbul / Avusturya Kültür Ofisi

This event consists of a lecture by the artist Katharina Swoboda and a film program co-curated by Marlies Pöschl and Katharina Swoboda, part of Golden Pixel Cooperative, a nomadic platform situated at the intersection between art and moving image.

Empty Frames Lecture by Katharina Swoboda

The zoological garden and the cinema are both modern inventions that work with “living images.” This talk focuses on architecture in zoos and its representation in film. Zoo architecture, in my opinion, structures the way we view the animals, thereby establishing cultural ideas about them. Comparable to cinematic approaches like shot sizes and montage, which can be used to construct an image and therefore a specific view of an animal, zoo architecture directs the visitor’s gaze and therefore creates certain ideas about species. Artworks to be discussed include contemporary video artist Anri Sala’s work about an empty zoo in his home town Tirana, and Laszlo Moholy-Nagy’s 1934 film about the modern architecture of the “Tecton Group.”

Staging Mimicry Film Program + Q&A with Marlies Poeschl (Golden Pixel Cooperative) In his work on mimicry, Roger Caillois (1931-78) shows that, contrary to popular belief, an insect’s ability to camouflage itself has no survival value. Moreover, it is “excessive” to survival; it is a surplus of life. By mimicking itself, the insect also creates a second identity for itself. “The mimicking insect lives its camouflaged existence as not quite itself, [but] as another,” writes cultural theorist Eliszabeth Grosz. “The capacity to imitate one’s habitat or surroundings, far from performing an adaptive function, witnesses the captivation of a creature by its representations of and as space, its displacement from the center, from a ‘consciousness’ of its place (in its body, located in space) to the perspective of another.” According to Caillois, there is a rupture in the subjective identity of the insect – the mimicking insect feels as if what is happening inside its body actually comes from outside. Extending the term mimicry to the field of architecture and art, in this discussion we will explore the artistic surplus of mimicry. Which aesthetic realms do artists create through strategies of mimicry, camouflage, and mimesis?

Research Response #4

The Austrian artist Lukas Marxt uses video art to explore the interactions of humans and the landscape and our increasing influence on the geology of our planet. In this simple but thought-provoking excerpt from “Reign of Silence,” a person on a motorboat (directed by the artist) makes a swirling pattern with the boat’s wake. Here, the materials are the boat and the Arctic Sea itself, showing how humanity uses the resources around it. Marxt’s other works explore these themes as well; he is interested in portraying the “deep-time” of geological processes as it interacts with the “real time” of humans. I enjoyed this work and thought it related quite a bit to the idea of “embodied space” we are exploring in our next project; the empty spaces explored in this artist’s work become embodied through the presence of humans (and the by-products of their activities).

“ A static shot shows part of a landscape, a serene body of water in front of a mountain. A motorboat enters the picture from the right, obeying the directions sent by radio and forming a spiral in the water´s surface. The boat then turns to the left and leaves the scene; solely its wake is visible for a time. “

[arcadiacy-blog]

“How do you come up with these “twists” and methods to reveal your presence in the space?

It’s a dance with nature. I ask for a dance and am led by my surroundings. (...) I made three films in the Arctic and all three were exploring how to perceive the surroundings on a motorboat. I used the boat as a brush in the landscape and made time visual just for a moment.“
