Library is an exhibition conceived for UOVO Open Office Berlin, forming part of the second in a series of open offices by the magazine involving the production of issues in locations beyond their Turin based headquarters.

The exhibition takes as its starting point its location—an office open for artists, curators, writers and the general public to participate in the production of the magazine directly—and addresses the conditions under which it takes place—responding to a magazine’s desire to adopt an exhibition paradigm as a magazine issue. Revolving around the idea of a magazine as a possible location for artwork, Library consists of a variety of magazines all of which demonstrate instances in which artists have utilised this format as a space for art making. The resulting presentation, on show in Berlin for the first time, emerges from an invitation to a number of international based artists to participate with magazines in they have conceived specific projects, artworks or other forms of artistic contributions. Featuring magazines produced in a variety of places globally; the display comprises issues primarily from the early 90s to the present day. Ultimately, Library sets out to offer a short history in which the magazine has been used beyond its conventional means and instead as a site for art and exhibition making.

Pivotally, Library will take the form of library as well, by which all of the magazines included will be ordered alphabetically according to the participating artists surnames and with each being able to be viewed individually or collectively in a dedicated reading area. In addition, the exhibition’s inventory will expand in time, with the number of participating artists set to increase over the course of the exhibition. At a later date, Library will take place in other locations elsewhere.


*A bookshop organized by Motto Distribution & The Bookmakers Ed. will accompany the exhibition.

OUT OF SIGHT Curated by Adam Carr

Participating artists: Mary Aurory, Jacob Golden, Alfred Johansen, and Oscar Neuestern
 
July 25th - August 23rd 2008
Opening reception: Saturday July 26th 12.00pm - 4.00pm
 
 
Proyectos Monclova is delighted to announce the exhibition Out Of Sight, curated by Adam Carr.
 
Reveling in obscurity, the overlooked and the unknown, Out Of Sight sets out to see if the notion of discovery is still viable or pertinent when presenting exhibitions and in particular artists and their works. Presenting the work of four artists, although as ordinary as this may seem, at the essence of this exhibition, however, are artists not part of the commonplace, alighting instead in the unfamiliar. Each has been chosen for their individual, unorthodox practices, as well as questions they pose—albeit at times unintentionally—on the role of the artist and the conditions under which artwork is commonly produced.
 
Art and life is often intertwined, but what happens when disappearing becomes a life long project? What happens when artists decide to stop producing work or simply vanish without a trace? Can artists choose to operate at the very fringes on the artworld? What happens if their work forces them to do so? Can working collaboratively eschew notions of individual authorship and notoriety in unique ways? Can newness be new while being old? While the included artists offer answers to these questions and while they can serve as descriptions of their case stories, pivotally, the conditions and ideas surrounding the above are also the subjects and starting points of their work.
 
Alfred Johansen (b.1924 Denmark) produced very few pieces before later disappearing. He took the spirit of performances, pushing a conceptual approach to making art to new levels, in works of which no one could ever see. Mary Aurory (b.1959 Morocco, lives and works in Antwerp) project is concerned obscure, lesser-known artists while opting to not be noticed at all. Jacob Golden (b.1970 Germany, lives and works in Vienna) has a career in producing art involving acts of theft; every exhibition is a risk for him. A feature of an ARTnews article in 1969, Oscar Neuestern (b.1948 US) only allowed access to his work at the turn of century, his project was the concept of the absolute—his entire career is founded and built on absence.
 
Currently, where it could be argued that demand exerts a considerable force on the biography of an artist, the production of art as well as its exhibition and reception, Out Of Sight presents artists who offer a different outlook. Their work amplifies the possibility of and for change, marking uncharted territories of art production and avoiding as well a sense of over production or exposure. They remain elusive as if it were a masterpiece—choreographing life itself.
 
- This exhibition will evolve and tour to other venues in the future.
- Adam Carr is an independent curator and writer based currently in London.
- A catalogue will be produced at the end of the exhibition featuring installation images, an essay
by the curator and texts on the works on display. This can be ordered by contacting the gallery,
emailing: info@proyectosmonclova.com or calling: +52 (55) 5563 715.
- For further information, please contact the gallery.

Tulips & Roses, Vilnius is extremely delighted to announce its inaugural exhibition, THE STORE, curated by Adam Carr.

THE STORE takes as its starting point the location of the gallery – Vilnius, a place in which the art market has just begun – and its occasion – the galleries inaugural exhibition – to form a celebration of the art object while aspiring to provide critical reflection on the manner by which it operates in the eyes of the art market.

All of the artists included in THE STORE have been invited to participate with works that will available to the general public. The result is an inventory comprising artwork by over 25 international artists, as well as projects curated by other people, all of which can be purchased at relatively small prices or be taken away for free. THE STORE therefore offers artworks to a mass audience usually conserved in a private gallery context for a selective few, and in doing so aims to offer a new experience not only within private commercial galleries but for exhibition going entirely. Interestingly, by making purchases from the goods on offer – selecting a pair of keys, a poster and not say a slice of a cake and/or a napkin, for example – viewers will in effect be curating their own shows for which can be taken away with them. This shifts the role of the spectator into consumer and active participant, and in response to their activity, the exhibition will be subjected to perpetual change, order and reorder – altering both its form and meaning.


Adam Carr is an independent curator and writer
currently based in London.
For further information concerning the exhibition,
please contact the gallery or see in store.

UOVO/17: Faits Divers.

UOVO 17: Faits Divers.

Middle-aged man shot by a teen boomhead who was blasting noise along with gunfire... Faits Divers is a French journalistic term for 'Human Interest' stories, a way to provide an encounter with the unexpected and extraordinary ruptures in the quotidian. The art world itself often gains coverage in the mainstream press under the rubrique of Fait Divers: a performance practice or an artist’s intervention similarly engages the directness, immediacy and 'realness' that defines the seduction of Fait Divers in popular media. According to Roland Barthes, it is its immanence which defines the Fait-Divers: 'disasters, murders, rapes, accidents, thefts, all this refers to man, to his history, his alienation, his hallucinations, his dreams, his fear.'
Issue 17, with ideas, reactions, chronicles and (Old) News from all over the Art-World, an opinionated guide to artists-run spaces, interviews and projects, features breaking news and current affairs – faits divers for Faiths-Divers.
