Six Doors
Online Ausstellung: 26. February 2019 — 30. July 2020
The 5th floor / Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève
Sophia Al-Maria, Cheryl Donegan, Sabrina Röthlisberger, Johanna Bruckner, Hyunjin Bek, Shadi Habib Allah
The Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève is proud to open the doors to its Fifth Floor—a new phase, or more precisely, a new layer of the institution dedicated to presenting art online. But what should the doors of such a space look like? Should they be gates, portals, altarpieces, or something else entirely? The curatorial duo Francesco Urbano Ragazzi has commissioned six artists, who have elaborated on the materiality of moving images throughout their practice, to find an answer to this question.

Gravitatorische Behauptungen. Yves Netzhammer / Gramazio Kohler Research
Ausstellung: 06. January — 15. March 2020
ETH Zürich, Graphische Sammlung, Rämistrasse 101, E 52, 8092 Zürich
mit vielfältigem Veranstaltungsprogramm
Die Graphische Sammlung ETH Zürich realisiert immer wieder Ausstellungsprojekte an der Schnittstelle zu ETH-Disziplinen. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist auch die Kooperation zwischen dem bekannten Schweizer Künstler Yves Netzhammer (*1970) und der international renommierten Professur für Architektur und Digitale Fabrikation, Gramazio Kohler Research, am Departement Architektur entstanden. Netzhammers Werke haben ihren Ursprung im digitalen Raum, der für ihn eng verwandt mit dem Raum der eigenen Imagination ist. Im initiierten Austausch hat sich rasch gezeigt, dass der Faden eine zentrale Rolle im gemeinsamen Projekt spielen soll. Einerseits kommt das Material wiederholt in den Bildwelten des Künstlers vor, andererseits greifen auch die Architekten Fabio Gramazio und Matthias Kohler bei ihrer Forschung auf Geflechte aus Schnur, Garn oder Faser zurück. Entstanden ist eine raumgreifende Installation mit Robotern, die für die digitale Fabrikation in der Architektur an der ETH entwickelt worden sind.

Stefan Karrer. Solo Position.
Ausstellung: 24. January — 19. April 2020
Kunsthaus Baselland, St. Jakob-Strasse 170, CH-4132 Muttenz/Basel
Eröffnung: Donnerstag, 23.1.2020, 18:30 Uhr
Weary looking drops of water, forum discussions about the pronunciation and meaning of the photographic term “bokeh,” and two Maltese caves competing for a Homeric myth make up the starting points for the new video installation by Stefan Karrer (b. 1981 in Basel) presented in the Kunsthaus. Central to the work of this Vienna-based artist are internet platforms and the digital material accumulated on them, which he thoroughly examines in terms of the relationship between humans and technology. The exhibition will be accompanied by an artist’s book published by Mark Pezinger Books and a sound performance. “Solo Position” is a competition format that targets regional artists and offers them the possibility of their first institutional exhibition. On the initiative of kulturelles.bl, the competition was publicly announced for the sixth time in spring 2019. Members of the jury included the expert commission for art from the Canton of Basel-Landschaft and the director of Kunsthaus Baselland.

Jeannette Ehlers: Listening to the Echoes of the South Atlantic
Exhibition: 06. February — 05. April 2020
Oslo Kunstforening, Rådhusgaten 19, 0158 Oslo, Norway
Listening to the Echoes of the South Atlantic is a multidisciplinary exhibition that features the work of Cássio Bomfim, Jeannette Ehlers, Anita Ekman, Satch Hoyt, William Kentridge & Neo Muyanga, Camille Norment, Dawit L. Petros and Nyugen E. Smith. The exhibition includes a combination of sound-based sculptures, videos, installations, and performances that convey the importance of sonic politics in relation to the entangled histories of the South Atlantic. Taking a transcultural, transatlantic approach as a starting point, Listening to the Echoes of the South Atlantic explores the political, social, and cultural implications of music in contemporary art, highlighting the significance of music as a mediator of cultural experience and history. The deep interconnectivity between music and history, and the idea that music functions as a response to history, is the underlying narrative of the exhibition.
