Look closely, very closely, in macro mode and that what is known, what is close, what is next takes on a strange dimension. Reality as it is presented to us becomes inadequate, impertinent. Suddenly arrogant. Sometimes knowing what each element of our environment is made up of, in its final parts, in its DNA composition, inverts the formula. And from so close everything becomes distant. There is a play with materiality in its pure form and in the process of transformation. Not only is the result, but also the procedure because it allows the decomposition to be graphed. No matter the language, nor the practice, nor the support, again and again like the ouroboros that chases its tail, it decomposes to build, it builds to decompose.

Luciano Benetton Collection

 

An extraordinary collection where some of the most significant personalities of the contemporary art scene sit alongside a representative cross section of a young and very young generation of art creators. A visionary selection of over 200 works that together show a bold and compelling prolificacy, capable of leading German art away from the beaten track. As the curator Peter Noever writes in his introduction, “the artists, architects, and designers who are brought together here make it clear to see: art, like love, does not remain a merely archival matter, but much rather provides a fertile soil for the present and the future.” Narrative, condemnation, provocation, the grotesque, rupture and recomposition, references to images and legends that have changed history: a romantic, cynical, complex, restless, imaginative idea of the future, ‘made in Germany’.

IRONY – Subversive Interventions

 

22.04.2015 – 22.05.2015

 

 

IRONY – Subversive Interventions

 

 

 

 

Addressing topics with irony, satire and humour is an artistic strategy frequently applied in the media arts, the spectrum of which is practically as broad as that of the fine arts. Irony doesn’t only serve to provide tongue-in-cheek entertainment, but also as a means of analysis and criticism. Playfully walking a line between sculpture, action and performance, artists use irony to express social criticism which places emphasis on economic and social circumstances.
To this end, they “seize on” material from the media, which they rearrange and subvert for their own purposes. With titbits taken from everyday life and consumer culture, the artists comment on the balance of power and the distribution of wealth in society. And now that new media has established itself firmly in the art world, this approach has increasingly become an artistic strategy. In their works, artists rely on the effectiveness of irony to illuminate the impact of media technologies on social interaction and personal identity. In this way, they frequently overstep boundaries, question values and break taboos.
The exhibition “Irony in Media Art” presented some 25 works by internationally renowned (media) artists such as Istvan Kantor and Paolo Cirio ─ accompanied by performances, talks, films, workshops and educational programmes. The exhibition was integrated into the programme of the European Media Art Festival in Osnabrück, one of the most important forums of international media art today.
