Elsewhere

 

Elsewhere (2010) is a multi-projection video art work which seeks to phenomenally transform the reinforced concrete landscape of the Malmö C underground station into a wide open space.
Through a projection device that evokes the perceptual experience from the train, the viewers will be invited to lose themselves in images during their wait. The projections acting as windows, the station itself becomes a train that loses its spatial and temporal rails, itinerant across the earth.
From the salt flats of Uyuni to the roads of Saigon, from the plains of Siberia to those of Patagonia, from the Honshu-Shikoku Bridge to the Orinoco River to central Montreal to the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro to Johannesburg’s Soweto to a Kensington street to Oaxaca market to Plaza Mayor to the Sicilian coast to Jalpur to Alexandria to Fortune Bay to Kualalampur to Ulan Bator to Den Haag to Reykjavik to Marienville to Tallinn to Corbridge to Buenaventura to Faisalabad to Muscat to Adana to Kinshasa to Xiangkhoang to Arrecife to Krakow to Pusan*… the Malmö C station will travel the world. elsewhere, like a lost river, flows continually into an underground passage. It is said that one never steps in the same river twice; comparably, the elsewhere installation is elaborated in such a way that it is unlikely that a viewer on a fixed schedule will see the same image time and again.
In terms of tempo, elsewhere is conceived as a release for the individual viewer. The recorded images are slowed down, in contrast with the speed of everyday urban life, in order to ease the experiential flow of time.
In symbolic terms, this artwork highlights the importance of the Central Station as a node; in its primary sense, as a crucial railway link, but also metaphorically as a connection between the city and the entire world.

Everyday Architecture..

 ..through the eye of Victor Enrich.

" after years of working for customers who -hounded by the pressure of deadlines- ended up being pleased with something that I found minimally acceptable, I felt that my skills were being misused, and I wasn´t reaching my potential. I was just one link in a chain in which almost no one was aiming for beauty.Then I moved to art."

Anothony Mccall’s Five Minutes Sculptures

winding grass carpet

Marseille-based artist Gaëlle Villedary developed ‘Tapis Rouge!’, a grass carpet installation for the french town Jaujac. The landscape piece is comprised of 168 rollers of greenery spanning approximately 1,400 feet with a weight of 3.5 tones, tracing pedestrian avenues into the city center.
The entirely bio-formed work was created with the intention to connect inhabitants of the village with the surrounding valley. The work was commissioned to help foster a celebratory mood for the 10th anniversary of the village’s arts and nature trail programs.

RAPPORT

Experimental Spatial Structures by J. MAYER H.

Press Conference: 15.09.2011, 11 am
Opening: 15.9.2011, 7 pm

The exhibition "RAPPORT. Experimental Spatial Structures" offers new insights into the interdisciplinary approach of the architectural office J. MAYER H. For the first time J. MAYER H. has developed a walk-in installation for the museum's 10-metre high entrance area. Walls and floor are clad in carpeting on which data security patterns are printed in black and grey. The work's space-consuming concept negates the strict geometry of the entrance hall. The considerably enlarged, repeating patterns produce a flickering impression and transform the white cube into a playful scenario of interpermeating forms and structures. Supplementary three-dimensional models translate the two-dimensional patterns into concrete forms.

The title "Rapport" is intended to be ambiguous. As a specialist German-language term from textile manufacturing, it refers to the serial pattern of the installation. On the other hand, in the military field the term "Rapport" means a "dispatch", while in psychology it describes a human relationship in which those involved convey something to the others. In this sense it also refers to the starting material of the installation: data security patterns, which are used, for example, on the inside of envelopes. In this case, they stand for confidential communication between two parties.

A catalogue will be appearing for the exhibition, including a list of selected exhibitions and works by the architect, as well as explanatory texts by Thomas Koehler, Ursula Mueller and Georg Vrachliotis, and a biography annotated by Philip Norten.

Opening: September 15th 2011, 7pm
Exhibiton: September 16th 2011 - April 9th 2012
Location: Berlinische Galerie, Berlin, Germany
Architects: J. MAYER H. Architects, Juergen Mayer H., Jesko Malkolm Johnsson-Zahn, Wilko Hoffmann
Photos by: Ludger Paffrath and Jesko Malkolm Johnsson-Zahn

The exhibition is being facilitated with generous support from the Berliner Stadtreinigung as part of the initiative Trenntstadt Berlin.
The installation will be realised by Vorwerk.
