Dincolo de linii - 10 artisti printre descoperiri| #jesuisciprian

Expozitia “ Dincolo de linii ” – 10 artisti printre descoperiri

Artisti: Ben Greber, Codruta Cernea, Victoria Zidaru, Ion Barladeanu, Hubert Hasler, Franziska Jyrch, Kristin Wenzel, Gili Mocanu ,Tanja Kodlin, Peter Hoiß.

Din luna iulie pana in septembrie 2016, Kristin Wenzel este artist in rezidenta la Palatul Mogosoaia. Ea face parte din programul de schimburi de rezidente Mogodorf, o colaborare care deja a implinit 10 ani, intre Kulturamt Düsseldorf si Centrul Cultural Palatul Mogosoaia. Precum altii dintre colegii sai rezidenti din acest program, Kristin Wenzel nu a facut doar arta pe cont propriu la Bucuresti, ci a si deschis largi posibilitati de colaborare pentru prietenii sai artisti din Europa. O retea de artisti colaboratori a aparut astfel din legaturile pur individuale dinauntrul tesutului viu al productiei artistice actuale. Institutiile implicate au functionat mai mult ca o rampa de lansare pentru intreprinderi artistice personalizate, impulsionate de experienta ireductibila a unui artist ce descopera un oras, valorile sale culturale evidente sau ascunse.

ARCUB, cea mai importanta platforma culturala de inserare pe scena artistica bucuresteana, s-a raliat prompt propunerilor artistei germane. Dincolo de linii – 10 artisti printre descoperiri este rezultatul legaturilor stabilite de catre Kristin Wenzel si galeristul Dan Popescu cu artisti germani, romani si austrieci. Nu este vorba despre emergenta unei grupari artistice. Ei nu impartasesc o anumita ideologie artistica si nici macar tehnici artistice anume sau un ideal estetic similar. In pofida specificului lor cultural local, a varstei si a fundalului antropologic distinct, ceea ce izbeste in cazul lor este o preocupare comuna, profunda, pentru liniile deviante sau pentru deviatiile de la linie. Un concept trans-cultural, pastrarea liniei si nevoia imperioasa de a scapa de aceasta este dezvaluita intr-o expozitie ce prezinta instalatii, pictura, obiecte, dar si performance. In lucrarile semnate de Franziska Jyrch, severitatea suspendata a liniilor indica concomitent interdictie si incalcare, in timp ce in lucrarile Victoriei Zidaru linia insinueaza o verticalitate moale, iar obiectele lui Peter Hoiß folosesc imaginea conductei ca un fel de semn de circulatie semantica. Kristin Wenzel este absorbita de capacitatea iesita din comun a unei simple linii de a configura modele, ce se decupeaza automat dupa o inofensiva taietura. Dimpotriva, Tanja Kodlin este fascinata de liniile procesate, de linia dreapta turtita in spirale vizuale. Serpentina interioara (inaparenta dar infinita) a formelor geometrice riguros aliniate de catre Gili Mocanu este contrabalansata de liniile oneste si de incredere pe care se bazeaza lucrarile lui Ben Greber si Codruta Cernea, care dezvolta un limbaj vizual construit literalmente pe linie. In ceea ce ii priveste, Ion Barladeanu si Hubert Hasler vin cu o perspectiva proaspata si opusa asupra liniei, prin completa ignorare a acesteia. In timp ce ceilalti artisti urmeaza calm si rational linia chiar si in criticarea acesteia, ei se elibereaza total, iesind din rand, scapand catre nodul si amestecul visceral al dorintelor subconstiente.

Dincolo de linii – 10 artisti printre descoperiri

_______________________________________________

Beyond the lines – ten artists in-between discoveries ( Dincolo de linii – 10 artiști printre descoperiri )

From July until September 2016, Kristin Wenzel is artist in residence at Mogosoaia Palace. She is part of the Mogodorf residency exchange program, an already 10 years-long collaboration scheme between Kulturamt Düsseldorf and The Cultural Center Mogosoaia Palace, Bucharest. Like some of the other, previously participating artists in the same exchange program, Kristin Wenzel was not only doing art on her own in Bucharest, but also opened the way to wider exchanges for artists friends accross Europe. A network of collaborating artists thus sprung off from the purely individual connections inside the vivid web of young art production. The institutions themselves function as a springboard for enlarging the scope of the personalized artistic endeavor, propelled by the irreducible experience of an artist discovering a city and its hidden or conspicuous cultural assets.

ARCUB, the main platform for cultural insertion onto the Bucharest art scene, promptly rallied to the proposals of the German artist. Beyond the lines – ten artists in-between discoveries is the result of the links established by Kristin Wenzel and gallerist Dan Popescu with German, Romanian and Austrian artists. It is not about an emerging art group. No shared ideology, not even common artistic techniques or aesthetic ideals make them to stick together. Notwithstanding their geographic and cultural particularities, their age and backgrounds, what is striking in their case is a common, deeper preoccupation with what one could call deviant lines or lines of deviation. A trans-cultural concept, the sticking-to-the line, and the subsequent need of slipping aside or coming accross it is unwrapped in the exhibition by means of paintings, installations, objects, and performances. The broken severity of the lines indicate either indictment or infringement in the works of Franziska Jyrch, or insinuates soft verticality in the works of Victoria Zidaru, while in the Peter Hoiß makes use of pipeline-codes as if semantic traffic signs. Kristin Wenzel herself is absorbed by the outstanding pattern-making capacity of the mere trace of a line, that leaves a shape from one single cut. Contrariwise, Tanja Kodlin is fascinated by the processed lines, straight lines wrinkled-out by stretching and crushing into visual spirals. The inner, inconspicuous but unending, irrational serpentine of the rigorously lined-up geometric shapes is at the core of the paintings of Gili Mocanu, whereas Ben Greber and Codruta Cernea use the lines as trustful, basic means of developing visual-writting idioms. In their turn, Ion Barladeanu and Hubert Hasler come with a fresh approach to the line, by thoroughly ignoring it. While all the other artists keep calm and rationally stick to the line, in a more or less critical manner, they simply break the stick down – they free from line away, fleeing to the ever messy bowels of abruptly displayed, subconscious desires.
