WE’RE EVERYTHING TO EACH OTHER
Lanchester Gallery Projects
LAUNCH : 25 APRIL 6PM
26 APRIL – 26 MAY 2013
IVAN GRUBANOV, ADRIA JULIÀ, VESNA PAVLOVIC, DALIJA ACIN THELANDER
CURATED BY MAJA CIRIC
LGP has invited Maja Ciric to curate WE’RE EVERYTHING TO EACH OTHER, an exhibition of four artists that examine curatorial practice in a transnational context and transcultural politics of representation. Pavlovi?’s SEARCH FOR LANDSCAPES follows a real American family on a 1960s world trip. The casual snapshots of domestic posing against exotic landscapes reveal the climb of America’s status of power. Grubanov’s long-term research project THE EVIL PAINTER is code for formulating a counterpublic and a discourse for a resistant identity. NOTES ON THE MISSING OH is Adria Julia’s film portrait of Hollywood flop movie Inchon. Julia gently reconfigures the Korean-War film’s landscapes and interviews cast members to disclose a film and history mired in propaganda, war mongering and underhand deals. (gallery website)

The Museum of Contemporary Photography (MoCP) at Columbia College Chicago is pleased to announce Spectator Sports, a group exhibition that includes artists who consider ways technologies cultivate and engage sports fans––using broadcast displays of professional athleticism intermixed with narrative dramatization. Central to each artist’s interest is a vicarious connection that fans feel with the athletes or teams they root for. The artworks shown address the experience of watching athletics live, in real time, and also analyze the complex cultural meanings that can be unpacked by studying archives of past performances. Together, the artists in Spectator Sports reveal ways the design of sports arenas, the conventions of broadcast media, and the storylines that surround athletic competition turn real bodies into representations that we simultaneously empathize with, and consume.

Old Academy of Richmond County, Oct. 3-7, 2012
Curated by Nancy Solomon
The 19th century neo-Gothic architecture of the Old Academy is the unique setting for this exhibition that explores the traditional genres of portraiture, still life, landscape and architecture through the lens of current contemporary art practices. Genre painting, made popular in 17th century Europe, continues to appeal to contemporary artists. Demonstrating a unique vision and approach to the subject matter Louise Belcourt, William Christenberry, Holly Coulis, Drew Galloway, Ashley Kauschinger, Vivian Maier, Vee Speers, Katherine Taylor, Dayna Thacker, Vesna Pavlovic, and Angela West re-invigorate the dialogue about pictorial representation in the visual arts in the context of 21st century life and culture.

“In Michael Tournier’s fable The Legend of Painting, a caliph holds a competition to establish the better of the two paintings commissioned to cover opposing walls in his palace. The first painting, by an artist who’d never left home before, is unveiled to show the beautiful picture of a Chinese garden. A week later, the second, widely travelled, painter pulls back the curtain to uncover a vast mirror in which the first painting is brilliantly reflected. He hadn’t lifted a brush but was immediately declared the winner as not only did his secondary image contain the beauty of the first, but its garden was also alive, populated by those viewing it." (Tournier 1992)

Search for Landscapes
February 2 - March 17, 2012
Zeitgeist Gallery, Nashville, TN
For her first solo exhibition at Zeitgeist, Vesna Pavlovi? presents her ongoing project "Search for Landscapes", shown as a photographic installation last year at the Untitled, (12th Istanbul Biennial), 2011. "Search for Landscapes" develops around a group of found vintage slides, which depict one American family's travels around the world during the 1960s - 80s. This coincided with a period of American mobility and freedom of travel to the world’s exotic locations and well-known pilgrimage sites. While looking into the materiality and physicality of these objects, Pavlovi? developed interest in slides as a first level of representation of tourist sites, a direct positive, and an object.
"Du monde clos à l’univers infini" - "From the Closed World to the Infinite Universe"

Guest curator : Marc Bembekoff
In his 1957 book "From the Closed World to the Infinite Universe" philosopher-historian Alexandre Koyré describes the perceptual shift that has taken place in our rapport with the world since the 18th century. Mapped onto the field of the visual arts, his theories enable comparisons between the closed world and the movie theatre and between the infinite universe and the exhibition space. As it leads the viewer through the twists and turns of perception, this exhibition speculates about how the moving image has been freed from its standardised setting in terms of both production and circulation : how it has broken out of the traditional movie theatre and been integrated into exhibitions in new forms that take account of the roles of the viewer and the object created.
Marc Bembekoff is a freelance exhibition curator specialising in experimental cinema. A co-founder of the Le Bureau/ exhibition curators’ collective, he is currently a curator at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris.
Untitled, (12th Istanbul Biennial), 2011
Curated by Adriano Pedrosa and Jens Hoffmann
September 17 - November 13
Istanbul, Turkey
"The visual identity and the title of the 12th Istanbul Biennial—Untitled (12th Istanbul Biennial), 2011—reference the work of the Cuban American artist Felix Gonzalez-Torres (1957–1996), one of the most important artists of the contemporary era."... "The curators of the 12th Istanbul Biennial, to remain in line with Gonzalez-Torres’s idea of “Untitled”, developed a critical position toward preconceived notions of the exhibition and did not declare the list of participating artists until the opening. Thus they proposed to prevent any possible pre-consumption of the exhibition. The 12th Istanbul Biennial aims to draw attention to the importance of the exhibition, the primary format of artistic and curatorial expression, in response to the mentality today favoring ancillary events and programming, especially in a biennial context. The biennial is precisely installed in a single, carefully constructed space, Antrepo 3 and 5, in a manner that privileges the display and juxtaposition of the artworks."
Vesna Pavlovic: Projected Histories
The Frist Center for the Visual Arts
June 24–September 11, 2011
Nashville, TN
This exhibition will include photographs taken in Vesna Pavlovic’s native Serbia and the United States over the last two decades. Focusing on sites and events of cultural significance, Pavlovic examines the power of photography to shape the perception of history as an expression of people’s dreams and aspirations by projecting and conflating self-images and national ideologies.
The exhibition begins with a selection of photographs that were taken in Serbia during the 1990s and explores the failure of utopian modernism under Communism while posing questions about the veneer of normalcy maintained during the civil war and allied bombardment. It concludes with an installation of recent works that considers the values and consumerist ideologies relating to contemporary American life.
Vesna Pavlovic’: Projected Histories is organized by the Frist Center for the Visual Arts.
