jerry peña, “stranger at my door”: art exhibit, from jul 29th @ general projects, los angeles

Stranger At My Door
Jerry Peña
General Projects
July 29 – September 24, 2023

Opening 7-10pm, Saturday, July 29, 2023

Insert Press is pleased to announce Stranger at My Door, a highly anticipated solo exhibition featuring new works by Jerry Peña. This exhibition marks Peña’s debut solo show with Insert Press and coincides with the release of a new print edition titled Say Your Prayers, Hammer Down, created by Peña. Additionally, an artist book project is scheduled for release this coming fall. The exhibition will run from July 29th to September 24th, 2023, with an opening reception on Saturday, July 29th, 2023, from 7 pm to 10 pm.

Jerry Peña, a first-generation Mexican American artist, delves into the Mexican-American experience, with a particular focus on the vibrant backdrop of Los Angeles. His artwork incorporates found objects and materials that intimately connect to his working-class background, offering a compelling glimpse into his unique experience in Southern California.

Peña’s compositions capture the raw grit of the city, shedding light on often overlooked elements of everyday life, tackling themes like gentrification, socioeconomic issues, and cultural identity. Influenced by the minimalist aesthetics of Southern California’s car culture, Peña infuses his work with a distinctive style following in a long tradition of artists working with ready-made objects. He also draws inspiration from the DIY ethos of Rasquachismo, Kustom Kulture, and practical problem-solving, while grounding his art in delicate symbols or memory objects, bridging the gap between street aesthetics and studio practices.

“the consultant”: nam june paik’s papers 1968-1979

Sandro Ricaldone

THE CONSULTANT
Paik’s Papers 1968–1979
Curator: Kim Yoonseo
Nam June Paik Art Center
10 Paiknamjune-ro, Giheung-gu, Yongin-si
Gyeonggi-do
October 13, 2022–March 26, 2023

Nam June Paik left behind various documents in different languages, including letters, scores, essays, proposals, and reports. One of these, a 1974 report somewhat grandly titled “MEDIA PLANNING FOR THE POST INDUSTRIAL AGE: Only 26 years left until the 21st Century,” seems more like a policy research document than an artist’s note. Instead of simply sharing bold ambitions, the report contains detailed and concrete plans for implementation. The text shares a vision akin to what has been realized today with the internet, stressing the urgency of being able to transmit ideas in real time through “electronic super highway,” just as the building of highways in the 1930s had enabled the movement of goods and the achievement of an economic revival. Emphasizing that “Mind pollution is as bad as air pollution,” Paik also urges caution in ensuring that media communications are not monopolized by technology experts or some “mysterious power complex.”

Paik actually did carry the title of “consultant.” While he was based in New York, he carried out his work with Rockefeller Foundation Art Grants in “Television/Video/Film” and for a roughly 20-year period beginning in the mid-1960s, he served in official and unofficial advisory roles, playing a leading part in emphasizing the importance of supporting medial field and proposing directions for its development. During this time, his video art and the video community were broadcast on television channels, discussed in scholarly contexts, and exhibited, collected, and proliferated by art institutions. His proposal expressed his bold ambitions of solving social problems through the medium of art, with immediate implementation plans laid out in considerable detail: digitalization to record and preserve human cultural history, video exchanges as a tool for learning and resolving our lack of understanding toward different cultures, the creation of electronic superhighways as communication systems connecting the world, and the continued pursuit of diverse representation in public broadcasting content.

As its title suggests, The Consultant: Paik’s Papers 1968–1979, a special exhibition commemorating the 90th anniversary of Paik’s birth, takes the artist’s reports as its starting point. Rather than emphasizing his individual achievements and the aesthetic context for his video art, it considers Paik as a “policymaker” based on reports that he wrote in English between 1968 and 1979: “EXPANDED EDUCATION FOR THE PAPERLESS SOCIETY” (1968), “MEDIA PLANNING FOR THE POST INDUSTRIAL AGE” (1974), and “HOW TO KEEP EXPERIMENTAL VIDEO ON PBS NATIONAL PROGRAMMING” (1979). Compared with his achievements focusing for a lifetime on the medium of video art, relatively little is known of how Paik investigated the raisons d’e^tre for social infrastructure and art and suggested new avenues for them. As it examines his work through the lens of Paik’s papers, the exhibition urges the viewer to see Paik in a new light, while showing how the realization of his artistic vision was underpinned not only by institutional support from the government, but also by collaboration with and support from private foundations, patronage funds, public schools, laboratories, broadcasters and art institutions.

The exhibition’s aims lie in taking a detour from the historic highway of regarding Paik as the “father of video art” and seeing him in a different light on a different sort of path.leaving behind the crossroads of preexisting knowledge and experience to find new opportunities for liberation. Exploring Nam June Paik as an analyst, a media consultant, and an agent of change for social infrastructure and technology during the social transitional period of the 1960s is a way of uncovering new tasks that have heretofore received little attention in studies of the artist, while also creating new points of contact with his works of electronic art. As we stand amid a different kind of digital shift and social change today, Paik’s media consulting is a work that is still in progress.

collage, todi: inaugurazione di “dark is a color”

Sabato 10 settembre dalle ore 11:00 alle ore 19:00 si inaugura a Todi negli spazi di CollAge la mostra DARK IS A COLOR.

Una selezione di opere di autori e anni diversi, da Alberto Burri e Mimmo Rotella degli anni ’50 alla giovane Elisa Garrafa del 2022, passando per Paolo Canevari, Bruno Ceccobelli, Giacinto Cerone, Gianni Dessì, Alberto Di Fabio, Marino Ficola, Giosetta Fioroni, Andrea Fogli, Giuseppe Gallo, Eliseo Mattiacci, Maurizio Mochetti, Elisa Montessori, Nunzio, Laura Palmieri, Alice Paltrinieri, Claudia Peill, Leonardo Petrucci, Angela Piga, Cristiano Pintaldi e Piero Pizzi Cannella.

I lavori di questi artisti, per quanto eterogenei e ben caratterizzati nelle proprie identità formali, sono accomunati da un approccio dal sapore minimale in grado di restituire in forma visiva un’atmosfera rarefatta, intimista e con sfumature di natura concettuale.

La mostra sarà visibile fino a sabato 26 novembre compreso.

“asemic sound cycles” by félix-antoine morin [& other/older performances]

Asemic Sound Cycles at Galeri Salihara
April 10, 2022 – April 24, 2022

Asemic Sound Cycles (2022), by Félix-Antoine Morin, is an exhibition specially developed for the Salihara Arts Center (Jakarta, Indonesia). This exhibition consists of a series of graphic scores on polyester film as well as a sound installation in the center of the exhibition space.

Asemic Sound Cycles consists of a series of graphic scores on polyester film as well as a sound installation in the center of the Salihara Gallery.

Félix-Antoine Morin’s graphic scores represent existing musical forms whose basic structures are drawn from his repertoire of compositions. By this process, Morin maps out the metamorphosis of sound phenomena through a rhythmic and poetic graphic expression. He encourages the ambiguity between musical notation and pure pictorial symbolism.

The kinetic sound installation arranged in the center of the space is inspired by the “locked groove” technique, an expression invented by Pierre Schaeffer in the mid 20th century to describe this phenomenon in which the needle of a record player falls indefinitely in the same record groove. In the same way, this sound installation follows a unique circular route. This consists of a microphone that reacts like the needle of a record player on materials and textures arranged throughout the floor.

Asemic Sound Cycles is an exhibition specially developed for the Salihara Arts Center.

Félix-Antoine Morin’s graphic scores represent existing musical forms whose basic structures are drawn from his repertoire of compositions. Through a syncopated visual construction, by which he instinctively creates new connections between signs, he shifts the initial writing toward material abstraction. Preserving traces of the sound origin, the accumulation of elements gradually transforms each composition into an autonomous language that no longer references music.
By this process, Morin maps out the … [click to read more]

First solo exhibition of Félix-Antoin Morin in Turkey: Asemic Sound Mappings (Feb 19th – Mar 12th, 2022):

[…] The graphic language of the artist does not tend to have a fixed meaning, leaving the interpretation of the works free to the viewer, encouraging the ambiguity between musical notation and pure pictorial poetry. The artworks at the “Asemic Sound Mappings” exhibition display layered elements moving in the void, carrying rhythm to the surface by simultaneously expressing Morin’s musical and pictorial sensibilities […]

Da OGGI, 3 marzo, e fino al 22 maggio 2022 l’Accademia di Francia a Roma – Villa Medici presenta in anteprima la mostra-evento Gribouillage / Scarabocchio. Da Leonardo da Vinci a Cy Twombly concepita dalle due curatrici Francesca Alberti (Villa Medici) e Diane Bodart (Columbia University), con la collaborazione di Philippe-Alain Michaud, in qualità di curatore associato (Centre Pompidou).

Gribouillage / Scarabocchio. Da Leonardo da Vinci a Cy Twombly, conta notevoli prestiti concessi da prestigiose istituzioni italiane ed europee, tra cui: Galleria degli Uffizi, Firenze; Gallerie dell’Accademia, Venezia; Museo e Real Bosco di Capodimonte, Napoli; Biblioteca Reale, Torino; Opera Primaziale Pisana, Pisa; Musée du Louvre, Parigi; Staatliche Museen, Berlino; Museu Nacional Soares dos Reis, Porto; Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève, Parigi; Casa Buonarroti, Firenze; Archivio Nazionale di Stato, Roma; Musée du Petit Palais, Parigi.

Affrontando le molteplici sfaccettature dello scarabocchiare in ambito artistico, dagli schizzi imbrattati sul retro dei dipinti agli scarabocchi che diventano vera e propria opera, l’esposizione mostra come queste pratiche grafiche sperimentali, trasgressive, regressive e liberatorie, che sembrano non obbedire a nessuna regola, hanno da sempre scandito la storia della creazione artistica.
