Die Welt, ein Dorf ? Noch nicht ganz, aber die Distanzen schrumpfen merklich. Das zeigt die Ausstellung „Small World“ , zu der wir herzlich einladen.

Zwei Jahre lang waren wir unterwegs um neue, junge Künstler und erfrischende Positionen kennenzulernen – von Brüssel nach Amsterdam, von Bonn nach Berlin, von Los Angeles bis Taipeh. „Es gibt keine klaren Trennungen, sondern überall junge und kreative Ideen. Es liegt alles sehr eng beieinander, Kunst verbindet eben!“

Einen besonderen Schwerpunkt bildet die Gegenüberstellung von künstlerischen Position aus Asien und Deutschland. In der Small World wird ausserdem deutlich, dass auch kleine Formate einem den Blick in ein eigenes, größeres Universum öffnen können.

March 20 – April 26, 2008

Caren Golden Fine Art is pleased to present Mirror Universe, the first solo exhibition by Devorah Sperber with the gallery. Mirror Universe will feature an entirely new body of work by Sperber based on images from the television series Star Trek. The title, Mirror Universe, alludes to the 1967 Star Trek episode Mirror, Mirror in which a transporter mishap swaps the crew of the Enterprise with evil counterparts, trapping them in a “savage parallel universe.” The concept of a mirror or parallel universe is a dominant theme in the show, and, in keeping with this metaphor, many of the works incorporate mirrors to view the work. For Sperber the exhibition is an opportunity to look at the relationship between popular science and art, and how they relate to larger metaphysical issues. In particular, she is interested in how consciousness and the act of seeing create the illusion of a stable, predictable, singular world. Mirror Universe is Sperber’s first gallery exhibition since her highly acclaimed Brooklyn Museum exhibition The Eye of the Artist: The Work of Devorah Sperber, (January 27 – June 17, 2007).

In addition to Sperber’s signature “Thread Spool” pieces and works comprised of chenille stems, Mirror Universe will introduce a series of standing figures composed of semi translucent beads; depicting the familiar Star Trek characters in the process of “beaming up”. For Sperber the individual works, and the exhibition in general, serve to support the idea that ‘reality’ is merely an illusion created by the brain in collaboration with the human eye. The ideas at the heart of Mirror Universe recall the writings of phenomenological philosophers such as Maurice Merleau-Ponty who claimed that one’s understanding of any physical xobject is contingent on the observer’s psychological and physical perspective on it. He held that every xobject is a “mirror of all others” whereby all things reflect meaning off one another, complicating how they are perceived. Sperber echoes Merleau-Ponty’s thoughts as the latent images in her work compete with its component xobjects – thread spools, beads and chenille stems – to engage the viewer with a combination of poetic illusion and clarity.

Mirror Universe will be on view concurrently with several other exhibitions featuring Devorah Sperber’s work in and around the New York City area. Sperber’s traveling solo museum exhibition opens at MASS MoCA on March 27th and she currently has works on view in the Art, Image and Warhol Connections exhibition at the Jewish Museum and in the Brainwave: Common Senses exhibition at Exit Art. Commissioned by New York Foundation for the Arts, the long term installation of three site-specific thread spool pieces that relate to the history of Penn Station remains in the lobby of One Penn Plaza, (34th Street between 7th and 8th Avenues), through the summer of 2010. Caren Golden Fine Art will present a solo installation of Devorah Sperber’s Star Trek works at PULSE NY Art Fair (Booth E-13) from March 27 through 30, 2008.

2008 will witness what is already the 4^th edition of the VIENNAFAIR, THE INTERNATIONAL CONTEMPORARY ART FAIR FOCUSED ON CEE /SEE, to be staged in Vienna.

This focus reflects Vienna’s European bridging function and is also given due recognition by art enthusiasts. By focussing on modern art in the CEE/SEE regions the VIENNAFAIR serves as a commercial hub between west and east, and has established its own identity amongst the various international art shows.

The great expectations placed in the VIENNAFAIR were also fulfilled. 107 galleries from 22 countries took part in the VIENNAFAIR 2007. A total of 14,700 visitors were registered as having attended the event during the show; up 18% on the previous year.

As well as the presence of well-established Austrian and international galleries, responsible for making up the central pillars of the VIENNAFAIR, galleries in particular from the CEE countries were a special highlight for international collectors, art connoisseurs and press and media representatives from all over the world.

VIENNAFAIR 2007:

VIENNA (4 March, 2008). – “The current development of the international fair world shows that the >VIENNAFAIR< has taken the right path from its very first issue. The thematic focus on galleries from the Eastern European and the South-Eastern European region, in combination with interesting presentations by galleries from Western Europe, overseas and naturally also by the booming galleries of Vienna has proven to be truly a concept for success”, Matthias Limbeck, manager in charge of new business, marketing and CEE at Reed Exhibitions Messe Wien, is pleased to state. Mr. Limbeck refers here to the great interest in and the already fixed applications to the fourth issue of the >VIENNAFAIR< which will take place from April 24 to 27, 2008, in Hall A of Vienna’s trade fair centre Messe Wien. “The new international advisory committee has done a marvellous job, and with 121 participating galleries this year’s >VIENNAFAIR< is fully booked. We have expanded the exhibition space and still have galleries on our waiting list”, Limbeck also appreciates the work of the committee that is formed this year by Guido W. Baudach – gallery Guido W. Baudach/Berlin, Anne Blümel – gallery Lelong/Zürich/New York/Paris, Kerstin Engholm – Engholm Engelhorn gallery/Vienna, Dr. Ursula Krinzinger – gallery Krinzinger/Vienna, Simon Rees – Contemporary Art Centre of Vilnius/Lithuania, Michel Rein – gallery Michel Rein/Paris, Anthony Wilkinson – Wilkinson Art Gallery/London und Thomas Wüstenhagen – layr:wuestenhagen contemporary/Vienna.

Extending internalisation, strengthening the location
Edek Bartz, exhibition director of the >VIENNAFAIR<, summarises the intense preparations leading to an exciting selection of galleries and a top-flight side programme: “I am very pleased that we will succeed in making the fourth issue of the fair even more international and at the same time manage to again integrate nearly the entire Austrian gallery world. 121 galleries, 45 of which are from Austria, and 54 from Western Europe, with 31 from Germany, and 2 each from Israel and the United States as well as 18 galleries from the focus countries in Eastern and South-Eastern Europe, will be presenting again their selection of contemporary art productions in Vienna’s trade fair centre Messe Wien from 24 to 27 April, 2008. With its concept of increasing internationalisation the >VIENNAFAIR< creates the pre-condition for the further development of the art location of Vienna.

Next to the traditionally strong participation of Berlin galleries like Baudach, DNA, Kunstagenten, Jette Rudolph and Antje Wachs, which are supported by the participation of carlier | gebauer, Feinkost, Open, Gillian Morris and ZAK, in 2008 two galleries from Israel (Dvir Gallery und Sommer Contemporary Art, both from Tel Aviv) will be presenting at the >VIENNAFAIR< for the first time. The Athens galleries gazonrouge, Kalfayan and The Breeder will again be participating, and so will Lelong from Zurich, Baukunst from Cologne, Benden & Klimcak, Viersen, Distrito Cu4tro from Madrid and Six Friedrich Lisa Ungar from Munich. From France, six galleries have registered for participation at the >VIENNAFAIR< (La Blanchisserie, ColletPark, Eric Dupont, the galerie de multiples, Michel Rein and Suzanne Tarasiève) and five exhibitors are from Great Britain (HF Contemporary Art, MOTInternational, Hidde van Seggelen, Max Wigram and Wilkinson). Italy is represented with five galleries (Ala, Ca´di Fra´, goethe 2, Studio Legale and Traghetto) and from the USA, with I-20 and Klemens Gasser & Tanja Grunert two galleries will present their selection at the >VIENNAFAIR<.

From Austria, 45 galleries were accepted for participation in the >VIENNAFAIR<. Internationally renowned Austrian galleries, like gallery Heike Curtze, Engholm Engelhorn, next St. Stephan, Krinzinger, König, Senn, Hilger, Insam, Janda, Meyer Kainer and Krobath Wimmer, all from Vienna as well as galleries from different Austrian provinces, like Ropac, Thoman and Welz and the young galleries Viktor Bucher, layr:wuestenhagen contemporary, Andreas Huber, Dana Charkasi and Patrick Ebensperger – these will contribute to a convincing presentation of the Austrian gallery world at the >VIENNAFAIR 2008<.

Great platform for galleries from Eastern and South-Eastern Europe
From its very start the presentation of the thematic focus of galleries from Eastern and South-Eastern Europe has been a decisive factor for the great interest of international art collectors in the >VIENNAFAIR<. 18 galleries will present the works of their artists in 2008 at the art fair in Vienna. These include galleries familiar to the fair visitors from the previous years, like Raster, lokal_30 and the Program Art Gallery from Warsaw, 2Meta from Bucharest, Photon and Skuc from Ljubljana, New Moment Ideas Gallery and Remont, both from Beograd, hunt kastner artworks from Prague, the ACB Gallery from Budapest, Vartai from Vilnius and the Space Gallery and Bast´ Art from Bratislava; also from Bratislava are two first starters at the >VIENNAFAIR<, the Kressling Gallery and Photoport. Further new participants are the gallery Czarna Galeria from Warsaw, Kisterem from Budapest and ARC Projects from Sofia.

Sponsors make the participation in the fair possible
As in previous years, the Austrian bank ERSTE BANK, as the main sponsor and supporter, contributes greatly to the participation of these galleries and the successful realisation of the focus presentation.

ZONE1: The special presentation at the >VIENNAFAIR<
ZONE1, introduced at last year’s issue of the >VIENNAFAIR<, will also undergo enhancement for 2008. Galleries will be able to exhibit individual presentations of young artists on 20 square metres each on a specifically designed area in the very centre of the fair, at special conditions. 19 presentations were selected by the fair’s advisory committee for ZONE1. New in ZONE1 are the gallery Hubert Winter with the installation “Panhard Special – The Velocity of Thought“ by Paul Etienne Lincoln, the gallery Eric Dupont, Paris, with works by Regina Virserius, the gallery Open, Berlin, with photography by Katherine Newbegin and Marc Berville MB Prospects, Berlin, with drawings by Marko Velk. Nicola von Senger from Zurich will present Arcangelo Sassolino and Hamish Morrison brings works from Wolfgang Flad from Berlin to Vienna. From Bregenz, Austria, the gallery Lisi Hämmerle will show an installation by the two artists Alexandra Berlinger / Wolfgang Fiel, habres+partner, Vienna, will show Magda Tóthová and Mario Mauroner Contemporary Art Vienna presents the sculpture „Dorothy“ from Joana Vasconcelos. The gallery Mezzanin offers a project by Manuel Gorkiewicz in the ZONE1. Further first participants are the Studio Legale, Rome with Alika Cooper, the gallery traversée, Munich, presenting Chow Chun Fai and La Blanchisserie, Boulogne presenting Arnaud Maguet. The galleries Grita Insam, Vienna, with Cristina Guerra Contemporary Art, Lisboa (artists: José Loureiro) and the gallery Krinzinger Vienna, with the gallery Antje Wachs from Berlin (artist: Clarina Bezzola) present common projects. The galleries Hohenlohe, Vienna (Cornelia Schmidt-Bleek), Hidde van Seggelen, London (Natasha Rosling), I-20 (Karen Heagle), New York, and Steinle Contemporary from Munich (Krüger/Pardeller) present their exhibitions for the second time in ZONE1.

The presentation of last year’s ZONE1 winner, Kamen Stoyanov, will be on display in a special exhibition in Vienna’s museum of modern art, MUMOK, from April 18 to May 18, 2008. Daniela Hinterhölzl, exhibition manager of the >VIENNAFAIR< explains the motifs for this initiative: “It is very important to us to not only offer the private collectors a forum at the >VIENNAFAIR< but also promote the exchange between galleries and museums that is so essential for the development of the art world”.

Great cooperations with the Austrian art institutions
The cooperations with museums and art institutions will not only be continued for ZONE1 but also for the information sector of the >VIENNAFAIR<.
In the context of the expanded cooperation the art institutions present themselves at the >VIENNAFAIR<, add to their postings a voucher for a reduced admission ticket for the >VIENNAFAIR< or allow visitors of the >VIENNAFAIR< to visit the institution for free or at a reduced admission fee. The following institutions participate in this cooperation:
The Albertina, Vienna; the art forum BA-CA Kunstforum, Vienna; lower austria contemporary (art in the public space in lower Austria – Kunstraum NOE; Kunsthalle Krems; the provincial musem Landesmuseum NÖ, Art/Brut Center Gugging, Herman Nitsch Museum in the museum centre Museumszentrum Mistelbach), KUNSTHALLE Vienna; the art history museum kunsthistorisches museum, Vienna; Austrian museum for applied arts and contemporary art, MAK, Vienna; the university of Applied Arts, Vienna; the museum of modern Art foundation Ludwig MUMOK, Vienna; the collection Essl, Klosterneuburg; EVN collection, Maria Enzersdorf; and Kulturkontakt Austria, Vienna.

Art institutions from Eastern and South-Eastern Europe at the >VIENNAFAIR<
As in the previous two years, art institutions from abroad and from Eastern and South-Eastern Europe will be awarded with the possibility to present themselves to the audience also at this year’s >VIENNAFAIR<. Thus, the Academy of Art of the Republic of Kazakhstan, participates this year for the first time in this event.

Award for the best stand design
It is natural that the participating galleries aim to have an attractive stand design at the art fair. As an additional incentive for doing so, the gallery award >VIENNAFAIR GALERIENPREIS<, donated by the Vienna Chamber of Commerce, will be bestowed at the >VIENNAFAIR 2008< for the third time. The award is endowed with prize money totalling 5,000 Euros and will be bestowed on April 23, 2008, by Brigitte Jank, president of the Vienna Chamber of Commerce.

The programme for collectors and those interested in art: the special programmes at the >VIENNAFAIR 2008<
Via a specifically developed programme during the fair and by offering visits at museums and special guided tours, the >VIENNAFAIR< will again attract app. 200 international art collectors and create thus an important basis for the economic success of the participating galleries. A number of lectures and presentations by art institutions from Austria and Eastern Europe complete the diverse offer of the >VIENNAFAIR 2008.

Like ancient sites abandoned for centuries, Louise Bourgeois’ sculptures remind me of the basic fact of impermanence, yet they can feel as familiar as a recurring dream suddenly recollected. In her installations, psychological relationships among objects are as important as formal ones: this work is sculpture but it is about memory, and the fragility and isolation of the individual–how even a heart of stone is as fragile as a bubble of glass, at the core nothing more than air and dust. Through her use of materials–found objects along with made sculptural elements–Bourgeois creates physical order out of emotional disorder. This is art, not as therapy, but as a transformation of emotion into physical form.

In the conversation that follows, conducted on March 18 at her New York studio, Bourgeois discusses both the work that will be unveiled at the Venice Biennale this summer and the 1992 Documenta installation that preceded it.

LOUISE BOURGEOIS: All of you interviewers flock upon me like birds–to say what? My work is finished; I can’t go through this again. During the BBC film, there were six people around all day. Finally, I’ve succeeded in totally exhausting myself. This is completely unjustified. You people want me to do all the work.

PAT STEIR: That’s what an interview is. . . .

LB: I’m a sculptor, not an entertainer. Or rather, I have discovered that I am an entertainer despite myself. People actually laugh at me, God bless them; I’m rather flattered, but there is a limit.

PS: The piece you displayed last year at Documenta is titled Precious Liquids.

LB: Actually the piece has two titles. Welded in steel over the entrance to its interior is an inscription that says, “Art is a guarantee of sanity.” I did not say that it was the guarantee of sanity. There are lots of others. Art is just one way of reaching an equilibrium–of becoming a sociable person.

PS: What about the bed with the little puddle on it and the glass shapes hovering near it?

LB: Here we are dealing with bodily functions; when we are in a tense state, our muscles tighten; when they relax and the tension goes down, a liquid is released. Intense emotions become physically liquid–a precious liquid. That’s where the title comes from. So it is all a matter of being in touch with that flowing of liquids. I could give you a dozen examples–if you are terribly hungry saliva comes at the sight of a lamb chop. In this piece the liquid is suggested by the glass shapes; some are closed like drops and others, open like funnels, are metaphors for the muscles of the body.

PS: What about the tall coat and the little coat?

LB: The coat represents, you might say, the tragedy of the voyeur.

PS: The flasher, in English?

LB: The French do not have that beautiful word. But yes, he refuses to get out of the place. He’s not a casual presence. He’s a very pestering presence. Inside the flasher’s coat there is a little white dress–the dress of, say, a twelve-year-old girl. That little female presence probably has to do with certain memories of mine. Actually, the person who enters the piece should open the coat and see what is in there. On the little dress there’s the embroidery “mercy merci” . . . at that point we are done with the flasher. He is a compulsive creature.

PS: Precious Liquids is very claustrophobic and dark inside; in the Venice pieces nothing is hidden.

LB: But there is a relation between the new work and Precious Liquids in terms of subject matter; they both involve the story of the unconscious–you have to bear it and, if you are gifted and generous enough, and if you like yourself enough, you will come to terms with it.

PS: One way or the other.

LB: The point is that the unconscious is there to stay, bothering you all the time. But you have to make peace with it. In Precious Liquids the girl, for her own protection, for the sake of her own sanity–we go back to sanity–has to come to terms with the flasher. So she closes her eyes, refuses to see him, and turns the matter around by taking refuge in his coat. This is a metaphor for the artist. If the artist cannot deal with everyday reality, the artist will retreat into his or her unconscious and feel at ease there, limited as it is–and frightening sometimes. But since love excludes fear–this is the deepest interpretation–suddenly if you are in love, you are not afraid anymore. This is amazing, but it is true. The little girl has taken the unconscious, not as an enemy, but as a refuge.

PS: I was interested that the figure in Cell (Arch of Hysteria) is male. It is unusual, because the hysteric was always a woman.

LB: This goes back to Precious Liquids, because this is really about tension, the body. The fact that it is a man is not terribly important. It is a remark about the hysterical, and in the time of Jean Martin Charcot, any ill, any disease, was attributed to hysteria, to be precise, and hysteria was attributed to women, which was absurd. This is all it means.

PS: So it’s just a little feminist humor on the way. But I’m still curious about the hysteric as a man.

LB: Yes, well, you are asking too much. If you say, Louise, How is it that this is next to that; what’s the relation? if you ask me precise questions about the visual, I prefer this to the interpretative attitude of the art critic. It’s very rare to find somebody who is able to bring a piece alive, through description, instead of making pronouncements. So it’s art journalism that I respect. I’m all in favor of art journalism.

PS: |Laughter~

LB: You’re really an inquisitive person. So I’ll tell you first of all that the large object in Cell (Arch of Hysteria) is a saw; you know arms were cut, heads were cut; we needed a saw for that, right? And you don’t have to know exactly what, but something vibrates in you; you see that everything has been cut, so you cut the poor creature, because you have been cut off from your past. It is a move from the passive to the active. In my art I’m the murderer. You understand? Besides this disease |hysteria~ was in fashion at the time of the Industrial Revolution.

PS: I want to know why the objects in the found chairs in Cell (Glass Spheres and Hands) are glass bubbles and not figures. There are so many figures elsewhere in your work.

LB: The glass suggests the infinite fragility of the human person. The artist retreats into the handling of materials, because any materials–marble, bronze, plaster, wax, plastic–are less fragile than human relationships. If I talk to you, I may break everything. But, that’s not my fault; I can be very, very sorry afterwards. But a break in a piece of glass can never be hidden.

PS: |Laughter~

LB: They are transparent bubbles. They’re enclosed; you do not get at them. They are sealed off without the possibility of communication and yet they are together. This is a very pessimistic situation. Suppose I want this person to love me and–they’re a bubble, I have no access; I’m unable to make myself heard or loved. Family of Five is also like a school, a learning situation. Well, this is personal, because I have taught, you know, and that has been my experience.

PS: And the marble hands?

LB: I clasp my hands in despair. Artists are not taught, they are made, they happen by accident; so I despair because I have no impact on them.

PS: When I first saw Cell (Choisy), I thought that the house was mounted on a sewing-machine stand.

LB: It’s a 19th-century workbench. I find this period of the end of the 19th century–the period of Charcot, the Salpetriere, you know–mysterious. You find these beautiful machines abandoned here in New York: I like the connection, because it is, in a way, a historical piece.

PS: I was wondering also about the house itself. Is it your childhood home?

LB: Yes.

PS: How did you choose pink marble?

LB: Because its color suggests flesh. The marble in many of my recent pieces relates to flesh. It is very difficult to get pink marble. It’s called portugalo, and usually the pink color is ruined by green veins. I can’t accept that. So, this marble is very special.

PS: Are there rooms inside?

LB: Yes, this is an exact reproduction. I could show you where my parents’ room was, with the terrace. I could show you my room, which wasn’t so nice.

PS: You have the guillotine here over the house.

LB: The house represents the past. I go there, it’s demolished. It was replaced by the Paul Eluard theater. The mayor of the little city said, Louise, I am going to put your piece in a park near the town hall; the French government placed a commission with me. It is a tiny place, but at least nobody’s going to come and replace it with a high-rise. The demolition of the house means that the present destroys the past–cuts it, breaks with it. Oh yes, the idea of cutting is terrible. The guillotine appears all the time in my work–remember that poor guy the hysteric; he had no more arms, nothing.
