Re: [Nettime-ro] Timeout. Art and Sustainability


Ce patetic ca am ajuns in fine asa de vechementi.Erau exemple subtile de a lungul timpului despre grija fata de natura.....in arta vizuala....adica nu nu mai de 40 de ani incoce ,dar urechile erau surde ochii erau orbi ,dorinta de glamur era infinita ...Si iata ca am ajuns sa fim programati....Traiasca Al GORE,SI opozantul lui caci altfel parabola orbilor ca in pictura lui Brueghel ne paste.Ne trebuie cioban ,ne trebuiesc oi, nu conteaza,totul la timpul oportun.Traiasca conducatorii.Artistii grupati?numai ei.Supermanii de azi vor salva lumea cu cite o manifestare,vor da exemple....Oare aceste concepte se vor face si in alte locuri mai comune ??Desigur de se vor da bani ptr. asa ceva....Altfel cui dracu ii pasa de natura.....Numai taranului prost si incult .....dar s-a desteptat si el ....VREA SA FIE PLATIT.....altfel se muta la oras si lasa natura pe seama Lichtenshteinului........Alias Popescu

Timeout. Art and Sustainability

Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein
May 25 ? September 2, 2007
Curator: Friedemann Malsch

>From May 25 to September 2 the Kunstmuseum
Liechtenstein will focus on a current theme with the
exhibition "Time Out. Art and Sustainability", which
examines how artists have engaged with this topic over
the past 40 years. Of central importance is man's
relationship to history, nature and ecology, and to
the acceleration of the rhythm of human life.

Since the dawn of industrialization in the 18th
century the pace of life in Western societies has
continued to accelerate, both in societies as a whole
and for individuals. At the same time, the last two
decades have also seen the emergence of world views
and movements warning against this growing
acceleration in all walks of life and offering
alternative models. Slow food, slow city, slow
medicine, slow sex and the like are enjoying increased
popularity in all areas of culture throughout the
world. Moreover, trade and industry and politics have
recently recognized the necessity of a sustainable
approach.

Since the late 1960s it has become apparent that a
number of artists have held increasingly sceptical
views concerning the acceleration in Western
societies. Exponents of Arte Povera, Concept Art and
other groups have focused increasingly on the losses
that have accompanied this continual acceleration in
the pace of life. They have been questioning our
notion of history, the effects our civilization has
had on the environment, social cohesion ? indeed, even
the basis of our relationship with the world, for
example, our sense of time. 

The young generation of artists builds on the basics
devised in the 1970s and, since around 1990, has been
continuing to develop them on a rather pragmatic level
somewhere between the poles of political commitment
and withdrawals to the private and intimate sphere. 

This exhibition "Timeout. Art and Sustainability"
illustrates the various ways in which art handles
deceleration and sustainability. As part of an open
narrative various topics and strategies are presented
and confronted with one another. Here, works by
artists from the whole world come together, including
Lida Abdul, Giovanni Anselmo, Thom Barth, Michael
Buthe, Thomas Feuerstein, Gloria Friedmann, Piero
Gilardi, Henrik Håkansson, Laura Horelli, Jan
Jedlicka, Kerstin Kartscher, On Kawara, Kimsooja, Matt
Mullican, Lia Perjovschi, Dan Peterman and Clemens von
Wedemeyer.

The exhibition is produced by the Kunstmuseum
Liechtenstein. A catalogue published on the occasion
of the exhibition contains text contributions by
Freddy P. Grunert, Jochen Gerz, Friedemann Malsch,
Christiane Meyer-Stoll and Kristin Schmidt as well as
a rich visual material, including installation shots
from the exhibition.
