Jette Gejl, Michelle Atherton<\/a> & TC McCormack<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thursday June 28 2018, 7.30PM<\/p>\n

KunstRaum<\/a> Goethestrasse xtd, Linz, Austria<\/p>\n

Exhibition on between 29 June – 31 July 2018<\/p>\n

LIVE AT KUNSTRAUM: 12PM, 29 June – a thirteen-hour programme with invited speakers, artists and\u00a0screenings.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We live in\u00a0unstable times; the social order shows its disorder, the traditional categories of knowledge and concepts of history are no longer liable. In search of new beginnings, we looked to the promise of new models of union, social arrangements that appeal to our ideals, aspirations, and worldviews.<\/p>\n

This exhibition is conceived as an excavation site, a staging to revalue public and private collections in whatever form – whether animal, mineral, technological, mythological or not.<\/p>\n

Jette Gejl (DK) will present an exploration that maps the entirety of the colour beige and furthers it on site. The methods include various elements such as testimonial, text and material analysis as well as a cooking school and performative talks.Through the search for\u00a0Ultimate Beige\u00a0<\/em>Gejl seeks, through democratic processes, a more refined and original nuance of beige than the international definition: RAL 1001 (RAL is a the most famous and widely used European color matching system that defines colors for paint, coatings and plastics).<\/p>\n

Michelle Atherton (GB)\u00a0swivels attention towards the irrational, exploring those actions, thinking and behaviours that could appear more illogical in comparison to other more rational alternatives. In RIGs, the\u00a0Repository of Irrational Gestures\u00a0<\/em>in Power Point form, she brings together a sequence of irrational gestures from myths, insect noises, film stills, neo-feudal structures, Avant Garde references, occult motion, song lyrics and more global outpourings. This irrational inventory is a collective endeavour including contributors from artists, academics and an entomologist. So begins the irrational collection. With thanks to Jessica Harrington, Wendy Leeks and Lucy Lound.<\/p>\n

TC McCormack (GB)\u00a0considers how our man-made structures exist in and out of time, and how the course of history continually reappraises our concept of value and indeed collections.\u00a0In his time-based installation\u00a0sequential phrasing enables different scenes to move between and across a screen based assemblage and a large projection, which in turn sets up a dialogue with a large print and an accompanying text piece.\u00a0These works offer unfolding acts of dislocation, in resisting any temporal trajectory, they appear to move\u00a0in and out of time.<\/em><\/p>\n

Michelle Atherton<\/a>\u00a0is Senior Lecturer in Sheffield Institute of Arts (SIA<\/a>)\u00a0and a member of the\u00a0Art & Design Research Centre (ADRC<\/a>) within C3RI. Michelle\u2019s research explores the resistance of space through the encounter with the image, often using\u00a0cultural phenomena as a starting point to discuss structures and systems. Michelle\u2019s work has been widely exhibited in a range of galleries and art museums across Europe.<\/p>\n

TC McCormack<\/a>\u00a0is also Senior Lecturer in Fine Art at Sheffield Institute of Arts (SIA<\/a>) and in C3RI\u2019s Art & Design Research Centre (ADRC<\/a>). TC\u2019s practice-led research takes a multi-disciplinary approach using\u00a0video, photography, collage, text and curatorial practice. His\u00a0research incorporates subjects as diverse as the contradictions of modernist heritage; aesthetics of cultural memory and the possibility of language to delineate the relational affinities of forms.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0In\u00a01887 the sociologist\u00a0Ferdinand Tonnies identified two distinct forms of opposing social organisations,\u00a0Gemeinschaft\u00a0(more modern, atomised, individualistic) and Gesellschaft\u00a0(of lost innocence, organic, mutual).\u00a0These historical frames are a fated transition and a generative measure.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
