60SIX pop up: "yoga studio" group show, Friday, Nov. 2, 6-10pm, 455A Valencia street, SF 94103



yoga studio
This 60SIX group show of paintings, drawing, sculpture, photography and video, features work around the theme of art as “fall-out shelter”... A place to contain or release energy. The exhibition takes place in an actual yoga studio housed in a historic artist live/work space. Notable musicians and artists have lived and worked in 455A Valencia, such as 60SIX artist and composer, Peter Whitehead, violinist, singer, Carla Kihlstedt and performer, comedian Whoopi Goldberg. 
In Leigh Barbier’s drawing, “The Watcher” a cyclops-like woman observes the room, a quiet but powerful presence. She is exposed but modest. Both victim and heroine, she has balls…for hands. Suppression of power, containment of power, forces reaching in to steal or heal are illustrated in Barbier’s surrealistic work. Sally Smith’s drawings contain cathartic alchemy. In the large drawing “Golden Shower” she concocts the charcoal by burning pages from Trump’s “Art of the Deal”and Playboy magazine, mixed with urine, and uses a template of a drain cover to create a rhythmic vibrating field.  Donna Anderson Kam’s drawings juxtapose her subjects’(young girls) delicacy and innocence with a graphic toxicity, speaking to our living with a large level of daily denial.  Oliver DiCicco’s kinetic sculptures are styled in a purist modernist form, which contrasts with  the unpredictable randomness of their sound and motion. German artist Jürgen Trautwein’s video piece called “gif me a break” gives a nod to philosopher Jean Baudrillard’s ideas, questioning (among other things) whether humans will eventually become machines. Brent Willson presents a large abstract painting, “Entropica,” reminiscent of the painter Albert Oehlen’s energetic, automatic painting style.
Other artists include Heike Liss, Isabelle Maynard, Steve Molnar, Anne and Laina Terpstra, Dave King and Peter Whitehead.

Ausstellungsbeteiligung/ group show - secret gardens @ Museum Romeinse Katakomben, Valkenburg a/d Geul, NL


Museum Romeinse Katakomben organiseert in oktober de vierde editie van dit hedendaags film- en video-art festival. Het museum presenteert tijdens het festival meesterwerkjes van een internationale selectie videokunstenaars en filmmakers.

Het nieuwe filmfestival staat garant voor een bijzondere en onvergetelijke ervaring. Wat dacht je van een onderaardse bosbeleving, een ontluikende blauwe tuin, en rondfladderende vogels in de mystieke setting van onderaardse crypten? Je wandelt zelfstandig door ondergrondse gangen en wordt op onverwachte plekken verrast door meesterwerkjes van een internationaal gezelschap filmmakers en videokunstenaars.

De video's zijn geselecteerd door curator Ana Frangovska, bekend van de Biennale van Venetië, videokunstenaar Nino Lomadze, afgestudeerd aan de Rietveld Academie en bekend van de internationale Imago Mundi Highlights collectie, en Maureen Bachaus, artistiek directeur van Museum Romeinse Katakomben. Dit team is ook verantwoordelijk voor het festivalthema 'Secret Gardens'. Het gangenstelsel van Museum Romeinse Katakomben herbergt namelijk indrukwekkende fresco's van tuinen, bloemen en taferelen uit de natuur. Het museum ontwikkelde daarom al eerder een themarondleiding waarbij je deze 'geheime tuinen' kunt bezoeken.
De deelnemende filmmakers en videokunstenaars werden uitgenodigd om hun hedendaagse visie op het thema 'secret gardens’ te laten zien. 
De geselecteerde filmmakers en videokunstenaars: 
(alfabetische volgorde)

David Alræk, Katrine Patry en Lisa Colette Bysheim (Noorwegen)
Mattia Biondi (Italië)
Daniel Dressel & Lynne Kouassi (Duitsland/Zwitserland)
Giorgos Efthimiou (Griekenland)
Andre Goldberg (België)
Simone Hooymans (Nederland/Noorwegen)
Dan Hudson (Canada)
Martha Kicsiny (Groot-Brittannië)
Patricio Ballesteros Ledesma (Argentinië)
Eleonora Manca (Italië)
Carles Pàmies (Spanje)
Isabel Perez del Pulgar (Spanje/Frankrijk)
Protey Temen (Rusland)
Jürgen Trautwein (Germany/USA)
Pierre Villemin (Frankrijk)
Het internationale film- en video festival is onderdeel van het hedendaagse programma van het museum, waarbij de vertaalslag wordt gemaakt van historische thema's naar de hedendaagse maatschappij. Je combineert het festival met een rondleiding door het museum of met een Romeinse lunch. Voor de kinderen ligt er en creatieve uitdaging klaar: een kijkdoos waarin ze zelf een geheime tuin mogen creëren.

The information flow within a network society inherits the speed and elasticity of capitalism. Be it smartphone, TV, or computer, all are integrated onto the showcase medium that takes the Internet as the operation platform, while innovative technological entities integrate the information content and material interface of browsing. Under such circumstances, the convergence of multiple technologies along the processes from producing to watching images is being influenced by the numerous mediators and participants and vice versa, which further gives birth to the dynamic order as a whole. Yet, the spread of network technology shares similarities of that of an artificial neural network, substantially changing our manipulation of experience, power, history and the process of cultural production as well as the outcomes. The organizational concepts and forms based on fixed space, time, place, and state are utterly shattered, whereas the orientation it displays takes the “flowing” power as the first priority, which not only accelerates the evolution of capitalism and changes the nature of capital market, but also renews itself at a swift speed, producing a real-time global action.
The open structure of a network society possesses an attribute of extending beyond space and time. Hence, a “User”, disregard the direction he/she approaches from, is an open terminal, whatsoever. As long as the same communication codes are flowing and consumed on the Internet, they could be integrated into the new nodes, exploring the unknown network. In the meantime, the real identity of a User in the Internet Protocol is an “address” defined by a series of digital codes. Therefore, a User is not necessary a human being. It can be a machine as well. Networking brings about the qualitative changes to the production, utilization, and meaning construction of messages by the Users on the Internet. The key not only lies in how a text narrative is produced, but in the complicated relationship between the cloud database and message texts. Such process of conversion is the very image attribute the video art biennial this year aims to focus. It produces encyclopedia-like image texts among the co-opetition in between cloud database and narratives. What it manifests on the real-virtual image border is Users’ re-coding and understanding of life experiences as well as how to derive the dynamic relationships among the various networks in the human society with experience and knowledge in the network society consists of cloud, machines, and user groups. Under this framework, the material payload within images no longer plays the instrumental role in the conventional video art context. Instead, it is a springboard that reflects upon the network society as well as one of the segments of the artists’ creation and actions in “Offline Browser”.
“Offline Browser” stresses not the functional interpretation of online and offline on the Internet, nor does it pose us a binary question whether to leave or to stay. What It attempts to discuss, however, is that when we are using the platform constructed by the Internet, how we should contemplate the structural relationship between individual production and network under the user identity as producer/user/consumer, and convert the perspective of technical tool in the network society into a perspective of medium, infiltrating data via the reverse production of information and eventually affecting the material basis of algorithm. The key underneath is that networking technology is not unilaterally determined by the society, but more by the network worldview fabricated by the participations of users within. Thus, how to comprehend and not be held by the power of this technology is the very strategy Offline Browser deliberates.

Installation shots from the gif_me_a_break exhibition at Galerie Marek Kralewski, Freiburg


The perpetual recurrence of the same, gif_me_a_break, and meta_dudes, dimensions variable, 2018


Jürgen Trautwein

Leidenschaftlich aufs Zeitgeschehen bezogen ist Jürgen Trautwein. Der in Bruchsal und San Francisco lebende ehemalige Meisterschüler von Bernd Koberling ist Maler, Zeichner, Medienkünstler und einiges mehr. In der Galerie Kralewski ist er als spöttischer Zeichner unterwegs, der mit Sottisen des Zeitgeists aufspießt, die Dummheit in Politik und Gesellschaft. Seine Zeichnungen im Cartoonstil füllen eine ganze Wand, umrandet von schwarzen Mäandern als Chiffre der "Perpetual Recurrence of the Same", so der Titel: von Nietzsches ewiger Wiederkehr des Gleichen. Die Leerstelle in der großformatigen Zeichnung "Meta_Dude" – ein Monitor, hinter dem sich ein karikaturistisch reduzierter Nerd verschanzt hat – repräsentiert den Bildschirm des Laptops in der Computerinstallation davor. Über den Screen laufen animierte Zeichnungen, Inhalte von Trautweins Homepage. "Gif_me_a_break" – übersetzt meint der Titel, der zugleich die Ausstellung bezeichnet, so viel wie: "Halt mal die Luft an!" "Ach, lass mich doch in Ruhe!".


Die missmutige Ansage gilt den Kalamitäten einer Zeit, der Trautwein ein wenig schmeichelhaftes Zeugnis ausstellt. Der kontemporäre Mensch: eine Spezies mit Brett vorm Kopf und Strichcode an der Glatze, die Welt: ein einziger Kriegsschauplatz. Dazu das Auge Gottes als NSA-Algorithmus und Donald Trump beim Stuhlgang: zum Runterspülen.
Dieter Fronz in der Badischen Zeitung

_.gif_me_a_break a drawing and multimedia hybridisation exhibition project at Galerie Marek Kralewski, Freiburg




Ein Zeichnungs/Multimediahybridisierungsausstellungsprojekt
in der Galerie Marek Kralewski, Freiburg 9.6-15.6, 2018



Die Ausstellung "_.gif_me_a_break" führt über ein Mäander-verwobenes Geflecht in den Urquell der Kreativität, dem zeichnerischen Ausdruck. Schnell, direkt und unverwechselbar skizziert, mit klarer Linie und dem analytischen Blick werden aktuelle gesellschaftliche Dramen um Populismus, Machtmissbrauch, Technologieabhänigkeit, Propaganda und Handymanie zynisch- ironisch aufgezeigt.
Der Titel "_.gif_me_a_break" beinhaltet eine Doppelreferenz, die sich sowohl auf die englische Formulierung “give me a break” was “verschone mich” bedeutet als auch auf das digital-bewegte Bildformat .gif bezieht.
Die Ausstellung besteht zum einen aus raumspezifischen Wandinstallationen, die sich aus schwarzen "time-sheets" und Federzeichnungen in dem amerikanischen Äquivalent zum Din A4 Format dem sogenannten "letter-size" zusammensetzen, zum anderen aus der interaktiven audio-visuellen Animations- und Netzkunstarbeit namens "_.gif_me_a_break". Ein digitales Projekt das sich mit dem animierten .gif Format als Basis für sozialkritische Inhalte auseinandersetzt. 
Einsehbar unter folgendem Link lhttp://www.jtwine.com/gif_me_a_break_.html
"_.gif_me_a_break" ist Teil des sich seid 2001 ständig weiterentwickelnden Zeichnungs- und Multimedia-Hybridisierungsprojekt NIESATT.
