Yael Bartana ...and Europe will be Stunned


www.SEAfoundation.EU We already held the Israeli artist Yael Bartana in close focus, then we saw this trilogy in the Polish pavilion on the Venice Biennale54 only last summer. We were stunned! Now the Vanabbemuseum has added the masterpiece which this trilogy is, luckily to its collection. It only happens few times in a lifetime, when an artist creates an artwork which matches as well the contemporary in arts, in society as in politics. At the same time, reflecting the pathology of our nowadays society as clear as Bartana masters in this triptych. This artwork is a sign of our time, in which all falls together and in which the artwork surpasses its momentum of creation and becomes the new arch typology of the actual problems our society faces. When history reflects (a possible) future, then we should be extra aware. Very impressive!

Mary Koszmary (Nightmares)


Mary Koszmary (Nightmare) is the first film in the trilogy and explores a complicated set of social and political relationships among Jews, Poles and other Europeans in the age of globalisation. A young activist, played here by Sławomir Sierakowski (founder and chief editor of Krytyka Polityczna magazine), delivers a speech in the abandoned National Stadium in Warsaw. He urges three million Jews to come back to Poland. Using the structure and sensibility of a World War II propaganda film, Mary Koszmary addresses contemporary anti-Semitism and xenophobia in Poland, the longing for the Jewish past among liberal Polish intellectuals and the Zionist dream of return to Israel. As Yael Bartana says: 'This is a very universal story; as in previous works, I have treated Israel as a sort of a social laboratory, always looking at it from the outside. These are mechanisms and situations which can be observed anywhere in the world. My recent works are not just stories about two nations — Poles and Jews. This is a universal presentation of the impossibility of living together.'

Zamach (Assassination)


In the film Zamach (Assassination), the final part of the trilogy, which has its premiere at the 54th International Art Exhibition in Venice and will be shown in parallel at the Zachęta National Gallery of Art in Warsaw — Bartana brings the dream about multinational community and the brand new Polish society to the ultimate test. The plot of the film takes place in not too distant a future, during the funeral ceremony of the leader of the Jewish Renaissance Movement, who had been killed by an unidentified assassin. It is by means of this symbolic death that the myth of the new political movement is unified — a movement which can become a concrete project to be implemented in Poland, Europe, or the Middle East in the days to come.

Yael Bartana Finissage


Den 22 april-19 september 2010 visades Yael Bartanas utställning "och Europa kommer att häpna" i Turbinhallen på Moderna Museet Malmö. Vid finissagen för utställningen, den 10 september, framfördes en nyproducerad performance: "Återkomsten från månen". Det var en experimentell performance som intervenerade och förde dialog med filmerna i utställningen. Between 22 May and 19 September 2010, Yael Bartana's exhibition "and Europe will be stunned" was shown in the Turbine hall at Moderna Museet Malmö. At the finissage of the exhibition, on 10 September, Yael Bartana's new performance developed especially for the finissage, "The Return from the Moon", was presented. It was an experimental performance, an intervention and dialogue with the films presented in the exhibition.

Mur i wieża (Wall and Tower)


The second film in the trilogy Mur i wieża (Wall and Tower) was made in the Warsaw district of Muranów, where a new kibbutz was erected at actual scale and in the architectural style of the 1930's. This kibbutz, constructed in the centre of Warsaw, was an utterly 'exotic' structure, even despite its perverse reflection of the history of the location, which had been the Jewish residential area before the war, and then a part of Warsaw Ghetto. The film invokes previous heroic images of strong and beautiful men and women who mythically established Israel. They were depicted as determined pioneers who, despite the most unfavorable conditions, kept building houses, cultivating land, studying, bringing up children collectively, sharing their assets and constantly training to fight off potential enemy attacks. This is the world that the artist proposes to resurrect in the 21st century, in an entirely different political and geographical configuration. Bartana again: 'I quote the past, the time of Socialist utopia, youthfulness and optimism — when there was a project of constructing a modernist idea of a new world.'

Ahlam Shibli - Yael Bartana - Omer Fast - Rabih Mroué


Des artistes qui ont en commun un sentiment d'implication personnelle face aux questions liées à la guerre au Moyen-Orient. Ils sont représentatifs d'une génération de jeunes artistes capables de traduire l'oppression du conflit à l'aide d'un langage alternatif, en analysant ses causes et ses origines, dans une réflexion sur les méthodes de sa représentation. Ahlam Shibli (née en 1970) présente une série de photographies récentes prises dans le village d'Al-Shibli. Capturant tous les détails topographiques, les vestiges historiques et les détails caractéristiques du quotidien de son village natal, Shibli tente de reconstituer l'impact de l'histoire sur notre présent. La plupart des habitants se sont enfuis durant la guerre de 1948, ils ont tout quitté pour une vie d'insécurité, incertains de leur nouveau rôle et de leur futur. Les photographies d'Ahlam Shibli n'évoquent pas tant la violence que la faiblesse et la complexité des relations humaines. Yael Bartana (née en 1970) montre une pièce de 2004, Low Relief : une quadruple projection vidéo en longueur formant un bas-relief d'images mobiles. Ces images trafiquées digitalement donnent l'impression que les personnages appartiennent à une formation militaire. Le spectateur est invité à observer cette démonstration militaire mais on ne peut dire s'il s'agit d'un discours pour la paix, pour l'environnement ou pour autre chose encore. Cette oeuvre peut être interprétée comme une métaphore de la vie en Israël où il est <b>...</b>

Weizman Rally


In the "Weizmann Rally" the square is activated by eight works of art appearing one after the other and together forming a choreography and chronology specially adapted to Weizmann Square. The works, some new and some displayed in the past in other contexts, were adapted to the square to create a unique experience of a historic public space. This is a space we are not accustomed to experience at an age in which the public space has become the space of corporate advertizing. An age in which it is less customary to publicly express a dispute of political and social criticism. An age in which meetings between people take place in the virtual sphere, and opinions are exchanged in the hyper-media environment.

Where to?


Where to? is a project for promoting new artwork, the product of collaborations between artists and academics and researchers from other fields, in the form of action proposals and new lines of thought concerning Jewish existence at the present time. This move will be realized by reassessing ideological currents and practical options developed within and ultimately rejected by the modern Jewish revolution, particularly in the Zionist movement. Where to? is composed of three stages, and will be held between April 2011 and June 2012. The first stage, from April 2 to June 11, will see the creation of a visual historical archive and various launching activities and events. The archive, which will be the centerpiece of this stage and the basis for the entire project, will include historical literature, studies, visuals and artworks. The archive materials will be collected first in preparation to the project and later classified and expanded as it progresses. The archive will constitute a dynamic and fluctuating basis for imagining alternatives and creatively reexamining both past and present.

Forgotten Relations: Feminist Artists and Relational Aesthetics - Introduction


Forgotten Relations: Feminist Artists and Relational Aesthetics With Guest Speaker: Ms. Helena Reckitt Sponsored by the Institute for the Humanities, the School of Contemporary Arts and the Department of English at Simon Fraser University. Date: Tuesday, November 16, 2010 This Public Lecture was held in Vancouver, BC at the World Art Theatre, SFU @ Woodward's. Over the past five decades, feminist artists have created powerful art that both engages in and critiques social relations. Yet this rich body of work is barely acknowledged in recent accounts of relational aesthetics. Helena Reckitt asks why such foundational projects have been largely dismissed. How might the humanist basis of relational aesthetics - in which the unmarked artist is biased towards the male - fuel this critical and curatorial neglect? Helena Reckitt was Senior Curator of Programs at The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery in Toronto. Her previous positions include Senior Director of Exhibitions and Education at the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center, GA, Head of Talks at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London, and Associate Commissioning Editor at Routledge publishers. She has curated solo exhibitions with artists including Yael Bartana, Prema Murthy, Paul P, Hew Locke (with Julie Joyce), and Paul Shambroom (with Diane Mullin and Chris Scoates). Her group exhibitions for The Power Plant include Not Quite How I Remember It, on forms of re-enactment and reconstruction, The Power Plant, June <b>...</b>

Under The Skin: Video From Poland by Kamil Malinowski


Kamil Malinowski - prepared this interesting presentation a while ago in the New Museum in Lower East Side, Manhattan. Under The Skin: New Video From Poland ("as per the press release from New Musem") The Declassified series presented a program of recent videos curated by Kamil Malinowski, including work by Yael Bartana, Bogna Burska, Krzysztof Franaszek, Anna-Maria Karczmarska, Anna Konik, Tomasz Kozak, Katarzyna Kozyra, Anna Molska, Krystyna Piotrowska, Aleksandra Polisiewicz, Karol Radziszewski, Piotr Wysocki and Artur Żmijewski. All of the works selected had been created within the past three years and have not yet been screened in New York City. Malinowski introduced the screening and, in a post-screening discussion, elaborated upon three related themes addressed in the works: the continued negotiation of problems emerging from Polish history (including Polish-Jewish relations, World War II, and the Holocaust); education and its ambiguous correlation with patriotism/nationalism; and imaginary or fictional history with significant emphasis on gender as a defining category. Kamil Malinowski is an emerging curator based in Warsaw, Poland. Malinowski attended the University of Warsaw and has worked as co-curator in the Supermarket of Art Foundation on the exhibitions "(Im)mortal love - VI Biennale of Young Artists" (2007) and "Welcome to the Media" (2006). Malinowski is a contributor to Sekcja art magazine and president of the recently established 93 Foundation. Devoted <b>...</b>

Beijing Holiday by Edgar Honetschlaeger


BEIJING HOLIDAY is a fairy tale. An ironic adaption of William Wyler's "Roman Holiday" featuring Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck. Beijing Holiday is a romance between the former first Lady of China, Soong May-Ling and the filmmaker Edgar Honetschl?ger. He, the Westerner, guides the sophisticated Lady Chang Kai-Shek through a thriving Beijing, showing her, what the very communists that won out against her, are doing at present. Nonetheless BEIJING HOLIDAY isn't a cute puppet show. The film, by means of symbolism and metaphors, utters harsh criticism on how "naive" the West is dealing with mainland China. For the filmmaker is not in favor of Soong Mei-Ling (even though he has to admit that he fell for her as a man), the Kumintang or the ruling party of Taiwan. Beijing Holiday deals with the "fetish politics". The film clearly states: Art needs not be political, but it is a sign of a "sane" society, if the arts can be. 13 min, miniDV / edition 5+1 vienna / tokyo / taipei / beijing 2007 actors: soong mei ling / edgar honetschläger camera: sylvie guérard / thomas woschitz editor: thomas woschitz sculptor: ouyang liqi assistant director: houxiu nagaoka director: edgar honetschläger producer: com institute tokyo / edoko institute Vienna premiere at "discovering the other" curated by gertjan zuilhof for the National Palace Museeum Taipei, with YAEL BARTANA, APICHATPONG WEERASETHAKUL DEBORAH STRATMAN ELLA RAIDEL HONGJOHN LIN MERILYN FAIRSKYE TSAI MING-LIANG
