PITTORESK -
NEUE PERSPECKTIVEN AUF DAS LANDSCHAFTSBILD
Museum Marta Herford, Germany
Opening: October 2 2009, 7.30pm
October 3 2009 - January 10 2010
Developed in cooperation with the S.M.A.K. in Ghent, this exhibition explores the term picturesque that emerged in the 18th century. Since this time landscape as a specific cultural format has defined how we perceive nature. Today, artists are confronted by mixed agricultural land use where it is no longer possible to draw a clear line between the center and periphery, city and surroundings or nature and culture. The exhibition attempts to ascertain whether and how art can still (or once again) express the concept of ’picturesque’ with a view to examining current questions on the concept and perception of landscape.

The Kitchen
512 West 19th Street
New York, NY
Through October 31, 2009
The New York-based artists in this group exhibition create performance-based videos, photographs, and sculptural installations that experiment with various approaches to presenting and documenting durational actions or live events. Some of the artists structure their work around carefully choreographed, task-based activities relating to self-imposed constraints, while others develop more intricate, narrative scenarios responding to a given environment. In both cases, the artists alternatively explore a range of issues relating to labor and stamina, risk and vulnerability, as well as questions of identity that together form of a larger investigation into the physical and mental conditions of contemporary life.
Curated by Debra Singer, Matthew Lyons, and Miriam Katz
