An exhibition curated by: Alberto Martín

Auto. Sueño y Materia is organized by CA2M Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo and Laboral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial

Auto. Sueño y material, examines the influence of the car in contemporary art. With over one hundred works by sixty artists from Spain and further afield, the exhibition throws light on the relationship between car culture and art over recent decades. The vast majority of the works presented come from the last two decades but with a heavy accent on the current moment, a period in which the reading of the car from an art perspective took on such density and complexity as well as critical perspective and detached biting wit. The automobile has been, and indeed still is, one of the most effective media for the material embodiment of dreams. And now, artists are questioning the reality of those dreams.

On Oct. 3 the Museum launches its feature project - "Warszawa w budowie" - "Warsaw under construction", a trailer of a new festival focused on designing. The trigger for this event was the City of Warsaw's request to have a new design festival. The Museum proposed to debate it's formula - is bringing beautiful objects into an ugly city worth the effort. Shouldn't we discuss the quality of the urban space instead? During the forthcoming two months of exbibitions and talks the Museum is looking for answers, how to redesign the public space in Warsaw in order to make it better.

The EXHIBITION presented at the Museum’s temporary HQ and in the neighbouring locations (the pedestrian passage in front of it, the Honorary Tribune on the Defilad Sq. and inside the Palace of Culture) comprises of works by artists, who relate their practice to design and urban planning and who borrow from their languages. They offer no solutions, do not yield to the demand for functionality. Instead, they bring into focus the particularities of Central-European urban space. The key-words to that world are: temporariness, decay, non-durability, anarchy, the validity of urban utopias. Where complex solutions are bound to fail, makeshift replaces designing and becomes an alternative way of satisfying needs. Temporariness, remaining half-way characterizes Warsaw just as other metropolises of the dynamically developing regions – Asia, Middle East or Latin America.

203 Mehmet YILDIZs @ Pandora Kitabevi

Ahmet Öğüt

“203 Mehmet YILDIZs”

22, 09 – 30, 09 2009

Place: Pandora Kitabevi

MASA presents Ahmet Öğüt's "203 Mehmet YILDIZs"

Öğüt grounds his work on the fact that there are 203 licensed football players named 'Mehmet Yıldız' registered in Turkish Football Federation. Setting out from this information, the artist forms an imaginative team consisting of 203 different Mehmet Yıldız's. In his MASA exhibition, Öğüt is going to exhibit the voice record of the match between the two imaginary teams: “All Stars Team” and “All Stars Collective”

Exhibition can be visited everyday at Pandora Kitabevi between 22 and 30 September, from 12 to 6pm

The 28th Biennial of Graphic Arts is a multifaceted event with a long tradition; it consists of a number of exhibitions as well as other happenings. Once again, the Biennial's central exhibition, The Matrix: An Unstable Reality, on view for two months in Ljubljana galleries, will focus on contemporary graphic art in the broadest sense of the term.
At the invitation of the International Centre of Graphic Arts, which proposed the theme of the main show, this idea was further developed and shaped by Galerija Alkatraz, Galerija Ganes Pratt, Galerija Jakopič, Galerija Kapsula, and Galerija Škuc, which are also serving as venues for the Biennial. Alongside the central exhibition, the 28th Biennial of Graphic Arts includes as well the Artist's Book Salon, the traditional exhibition for the winner of the Grand Prize from the previous Biennial, and a number of accompanying exhibitions.

AUTO. SUEÑO Y MATERIA [AUTO. DREAM AND MATERIAL] is a multifaceted ambitious exhibition project featuring around one hundred works by over sixty artists. The exhibition mines the depth of influence of the automobile within contemporary art, or more precisely, the relationship between car culture and art creation in recent decades. The lead role assigned to the automobile as a mainstay of 20th century culture and as a symbol of our consumer society, encourages us to address the art-car binomial from more than a strictly aesthetic realm, instead expanding our perspective to embrace social, political and anthropological considerations. Precisely at a moment like the present, when we can already detect a feeling of closure to the era of material culture that ruled throughout the 20th century, it becomes more pressing that ever to cast a gaze backwards on that icon that transformed habits, territory and industry.

At the location where Wies Smals initiated de Appel in 1974, thirty artists are reflecting within the context of the auction upon the relationship between the economic and the symbolic value of art. The three curators, members of de Appel’s staff, have invited the artists to make a new work on A4, in which the changed value system within the art world in these times of financial crisis, is being brought up for discussion. After being exhibited, the conceptual works, texts, drawings, promises, understatements, ideas, visions and performances will be part of the “Two in One” auction taking place at Christie’s on 20 May. The project is an empathetic critique from within, in which de Appel and the artists assume the simultaneous role of contemporary collaborator and critical inquirer.

Events:

2 May (Opening), 2009, 6 pm: “Tu Aimes, Tu Achètes - You Like, You Buy”

For “Younger Than Jesus,” the first edition of “The Generational,” the New Museum’s new signature triennial, fifty artists from twenty-five countries will be presented. The only exhibition of its kind in the United States, “The Generational: Younger Than Jesus” will offer a rich, intricate, multidisciplinary exploration of the work being produced by a new generation of artists born after 1976. Known to demographers, marketers, sociologists, and pundits variously as the Millennials, Generation Y, iGeneration, and Generation Me, this age group has yet to be described in any way beyond their habits of consumption. “Younger Than Jesus” will begin to examine the visual culture this generation has created to date.
The exhibition is organized by Lauren Cornell, Director of Rhizome and New Museum Adjunct Curator; Massimiliano Gioni, Director of Special Exhibitions; and Laura Hoptman, Kraus Family Senior Curator.
