Until the 3rd of August, we will be showing the current art project “Interface” by Markus Hanakam and Roswitha Schuller in Dusseldorf. At yesterday’s opening reception Prof. Dr. Ferdinand Ullrich, director of the Kunsthalle Recklinghausen, conducted a conversation with the Vienna-based artist couple. Aside from that the artists gave an introduction into their work by use of a beamer projection. In spite of the oppressive heat it was a very illuminating talk, and the visitors stuck to it until the end.
From the 25th of July to the 3rd of August, we will show the current art project “Interface” by Markus Hanakam and Roswitha Schuller in Dusseldorf. The opening on the 25th of July 2013 includes a discussion with Hanakam & Schuller lead by Prof. Dr. Ferdinand Ullrich, as well as a short presentation by the Viennese artist couple.
Markus Hanakam and Roswitha Schuller’s current work “Interface” (2013) represents an object based on drawing in a series of graphic works, which were created as set-elements of their short films. Comparable to other art works by the couple “Interface” again allows its audience to explore the connection between an apparatus and the graphical interface and operate or move individual elements. The art work consists of a ten meter long drawing trail on a roll, a wall construction and a table segment, which enables the participant to create via “scanning” a cutout version of the drawing. Comparable to other works by Hanakam & Schuller, they incorporate again in the case of “interface” small-scale plastic objects, which serve as placeholders or game tokens for the viewer as well as for future performers.
CATALOGUE 7/9/2012 -22/9/2012 shows KOKOMO, series of scanned objects, arranged together in an island-like setting. KOKOMO entitled a 1988 song by the Beach Boys, in which they describe Kokomo as an utopian island paradise located in the Bahamas. The artists play with this narrative structure of an imaginary geographic spot and turn it into -on a first sight abstract – images, that showcase various details of the scanning process of original three-dimensional objects at a closer look.
In the focus of the second part of the exhibition series CATALOGUE by Markus Hanakam and Roswitha Schüller is the short film INVASION, which lately was awarded as “Jury Selection Work” at Japan Media Arts Festival 2012. Here is the trailer:
There is a whole body of theoretical reflection about apparatus in cinema theory that could also be passed on photography. INVASION focusses on this wondrous and magical, but also ideological machine that produces a narration about reality as well as it is narration itself.
The film will show an partly absurd, partly reconstructed equipment, whose design is following descriptions and woodcuts of the compendium “The History and Practice of the Art of Photography; or the Production of Pictures through the Agency of Light” (1849).
The scene shows various movements and settings in handling the apparatus. A male Voice Over accompanies the scene. The atmosphere is similar to the genre of Science Fiction, where the machine becomes a crucial part of the story; it turns into a character among others.
Yesterday was the opening reception of the first part of the exhibition CATALOGUE by Markus Hanakam and Roswitha Schuller. Main work of this exhibition is the installation “White Cube with Sprinkles”, more than the half of the gallery floor is covered with sugar sprinkles. In addition to it two video works, one large-size drawing and two sculptures are to be seen, which all belong to the theme “TOPPINGS”. The Tartes by Hanakam & Schuller result from the artist couple’s ongoing occupation with dessert structures and toppings which they employ and explore as sculptural devices, translating the ranges of forms and color of these toppings into video animation, computer applications, objects, and occasional furniture.
Starting on 24 August the Vienna based artist couple Hanakam & Schuller show a spectrum of their work in our gallery, titled CATALOGUE. This will not only be one, but three exhibitions, which will occur one after another, week by week. Each part introduces another work category and group of themes: Accordingly the gallery appears on three opening receptions in different shape.
