Abstract

The period of the baroque meets contemporary art forms. This juxtaposition has the aim of highlighting the similarities between two apparently distant periods which, on closer inspection, prove to have many things in common.English edition.Concurrent with the great Baroque season which opens at the Capodimonte Museum in Naples in October 2009, the MADRE (Donna Regina Contemporary Art Museum in Naples) is organizing an exhibition with the aim of comparing the 17th century, the period when Baroque painting was at its height, with our own time. On the one hand, both historical periods have a background of revolutionary scientific discoveries which have transformed our way of living and thinking and, on the other, have experienced deep-rooted religious fanaticism. By examining the work of contemporary artists who are sensitive to this kind of subject, this is an attempt to analyze the spirit of the time. A scientific committee, comprising historians, critics and experts of international renown, will give a horizontal slant to the exhibition and, at the same time, ensure expert curatorship.

Abstract

This book represents a first attempt at offering an overview of Thomas Bayrle's multifaceted practice, from his first kinetic machines to the recent engine installations. Amply illustrated, the catalogue highlights not only the serigraphies and super-images Bayrle is perhaps best known for, but also his sculptures, his early work as a graphic designer and publisher (included is an illustrated bibliography of all of Bayrle's artist books), his videos, as well as samples from his own texts (excerpts from his 'San Francisco Diary' of 1981, reprinted here for the first time) and from his dabblings in concrete poetry. Holding together this expansive approach are the concerns that have always animated his work: consumerism and consumer society, political propaganda, weaves and patterns, movement, sexuality, religion. Exhibition: WIELS, Contemporary Art Centre, Brussels, Belgium (09.02.-12.05.2013).

Abstract

American artist Bruce Nauman (born 1941) is regarded as one of the most important artists working today. His pioneering explorations of sculpture, performance, sound, video and environments have influenced artists internationally for over three decades. Focusing upon the artist’s investigation into the human condition, Bruce Nauman: Make Me Think Me brings together a comprehensive selection of works from 1966-2005.

The first half of the exhibition looks at the artist’s use of language through sculpture, sound, drawing, video and works in neon. Using multiple forms of wordplay – puns, palindromes, anagrams and repetition - Nauman questions the success and failure of one of the fundamental means of human interaction. Language is also used as a tool to control – we are invited to follow a series of instructions that direct our behaviour in the gallery.

The works in the second half of the exhibition look at the body and physical behaviour, starting with a series of films the artist made of himself performing mundane, yet demanding, actions in his studio, and continuing with several environments, entered by the audience, that dictate our movement and reactions. In Corridor Installation (Nick Wilder Installation), the audience navigates a series of corridors in which our movement is controlled and recorded on CCTV cameras, often with perplexing results.

The exhibition culminates with a selection of Nauman’s animal and head casts, including two large scale hanging sculptures made from taxidermists’ moulds. Also included is the recent Three Heads Fountain (Andrew, Juliet, Rinde) 2005 – a water fountain made from resin heads. These works represent some of Nauman’s most powerful assessments of human nature to date.
