2008. DISCUSSION PANELS PROGRAMME

Place: La Casa Encendida (Ronda de Valencia No. 2, Madrid)Date: 7th and 8th FebruaryTime: From 17.00 to 21.00 h.

Continuing the practice established in the last editions, this year the debate tables are organised once again in collaboration with La Casa Encendida.  As in previous editions, on the one hand, the debate tables will present the projects produced for Madrid Abierto and, on the other, they will introduce different initiatives developed within the sphere of art in the public space.

The round tables will include the active participation of the commission set up last year to debate the model of Madrid Abierto.  The commission's co-ordinator, Rocío Gracia, and its members, Cecilia Anderson, Guillaume Désanges, Jorge Díez, Ramón Parramon, María Inés Rodríguez and Fito Rodríguez, together with this edition's organisers, the collective DEMOCRACIA.

For the artists’ presentations, the event's organisers have established three groups, although aware that the groups may be pervious and that one same project may meet several of the established premises. On the one hand, we will have the projects that make the contemporary class conflict visible, as well as a temporary suspension of the exclusions generated by this conflict, on another hand, those that employ elements or the propagandistic language of the urban scene, and lastly, those more closely associated with forms of urban culture.

The artistic experience developed in the public space faces the complex task of intervening in a saturated and hyper-aesthetized space with few fissures. The temporary and ephemeral nature of these artistic practices often places obstacles in the way of the dissemination and development possibilities of many interesting proposals that would require more time, with respect to the prior investigation and the subsequent production of the interventions as well as the desirable convergence with other projects and other social and cultural agents. In light of this, the opening of new spaces is needed to encourage other forms of production and dissemination, as well as the creation of networks of information and collaboration between this kind of artistic practices. For this reason, every year Madrid Abierto aims to give exposure to other similar experiences. In this edition, Nelson Brissac and Vit Havranek will be responsible for presenting invited projects, offering their experience in the debate on the strategies applied to the city and the territory from an artistic perspective, with more or less emphasis on experimentation, multi-discipline, the process and interaction with the public.

2008. Andreas Templin. HELL IS COMING / WORLD ENDS TODAY (technical data)

 TREATMENT

The project lasts for one week. 151 people (male & female) from different society backgrounds (all living in the inner city of Madrid) get selected by a casting. They´re contracted to wear the specific cloths for seven days and receive a small compensation fee. The main condition for them to take part in the work is:-    they move around in the City of Madrid (in their daily routine)-    they fit the demanded profiles

THE REQUIRED PROFILES ARE

-50 joggers/sporty/young/healthy type  red „Paulo Virilio“- sporting dress/ longsleeveT-Shirt

-50 punk/“street level“ „Michel Foucault“- military camouflage jacket with pink „Michel Focault“ -print

-50 hardrocker/tattoo/goth- „Giorgio Agamben“- hooded black sweater

- one doppelganger of Fred Phelps with body sign „Hell is Coming/World Ends Today“ (front/back) and black suit/hat  It is important, that all the characters lead there every day life all in a high visibility. Next to that, the Phelps-doppelganger will be standing around for one week in daytime (six hours daily, in the rush hours) on street corners/public places. The activity of the „Fred Phelps“-doppelganger“ is applied differently than the other elements remaining as a symbolic endpoint to contemporary discourse as a whole (fundamentalism).

DISPLAY

The whole activity will be documented in video and photography. Photos are being taken of the selected participants in there daily routine. The whole project will then be published (photographic prints, the cloths and the video on display) on a special website for the project.

In order to make this ephemere piece of visual art more visible to the interested public, the philosopher Dr. Andreas L. Hofbauer offered to accompany the project with a „lecture on the run“. Here is a small text he wrote to accompany this application:

As accompaniment to Andreas Templin’s “Hell is Coming/World Ends Today”. I shall offer video reports, a lecture with discussion panel, as well as escorting, on a case-to-case basis, some of the „mannequins“. The focus of this enterprise is not meant only as a partial documentary of the ongoing events but mainly as a casual mapping of the travels of those badly equipped and uninformed walking warheads/Sprengkörper, which are not at all without aim. With the presentation of fashion-like logos of the names of some important (and also fashionable) thinkers of our days (Virilo, Agamben and Foucault), some fundamental questions of today’s politics present arms: speed, (concentration) camp and power. In confrontation with down to earth fundamentalist statements, this shows nothing less than the weak impact and desperate struggle of some theoretical positions against the takeover of consumer ideology.

If one is most readily able to learn about society by watching its reactions across the spectrum, taking as an example those who would (unknowingly) challenge it by mirroring its own state of the art, one should be ready to accept a not very happy vision. Forms of alienation issuing from the commodity fetishism of modern market relations, i.e. global consumerist capitalism (in disguise of values, brand names, political correctness, religion, success et al.) can only be shown as they come across. This means in no way kritische Aufklärung, but offers resistance by double-crossing bare intellectual second-hand statements and ideological backlash.

Art sets in motion the aspect of Plasticity (or even better workability), instead of representing (or doubling) a commercial and ideologic/politically forced flexibility, which has been the mainstay in all forms of counter-cultural tactics.

Still: We should not forget that plasticity shapes form (form-giving and form-building) but also destroy all form (plastic explosive).

Asked how they’ll destroy dominant culture the Situationists answer: „In two ways: gradually at first, then suddenly“! Let’s start over again – first steps first.

TIME

The duration of the project is set for one week. In order to prepare it will be necessary to be there at least two weeks in advance.

I will come to Madrid 14 days in advance before the launch of the project in order to prepare it properly.

Timeline for the realisation of the project: The project needs five weeks to be fully realized

- Week one: preparation of cloths, printing - Week two: Arriving in Madrid, preparation week- Week three: casting- Week four: execution of the project- Week five: postproduction, website-production

The used cloths will be offered in the edition of each 50 via the Internet and through the website of the project. Of each cloth sold, 50 percent of the winst will be returned to Madrid Abierto.

2008. Andreas Templin. HELL IS COMING / WORLD ENDS TODAY (theoretical data)

 "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro“Contemporary saying, source unknown

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

As decribed in my work statement, the main drive of my artistic production is characterized by an impulsive use of a wide range of styles and gestures. The last public artworks I was able to realize („stormscene“, comissioned by the City Council of Nuremberg/Germany, „Monument for Donatella Versace“ Chicago/Berlin 2005, „crashed satellite“ 2006, several locations), which were dealing with „second hand experience“ as well as „unwished co-branding“ remain as critical and divers interventions of a distinguished art practice, which intends to be „post-productive“. In the work „Hell is Coming/World Ends Today“ I would like to show reference to the situationist movement, its strong impact and continuous flow and, in relation to that, point to some of the common problems any movement seems to be afflicted by: The moment of its pure realisation by an individual´s mind vs. the competitiveness of styles, attitudes and trendiness of specific concepts in society.   

In this case, the philosophical thesises with, in my opinion, the strongest and most direct impact on the individual in the Western societies -    speed and devastation/ Paul Virilio-    „the camp/ the concentration camp“/Agamben-    „power“/ Foucault-    „hatred/fundamentalism“/ represented by Fred Phelps, right-wing preacher

These are the elements of this ephemere intervention to the public.

I would like to transfer these philosophers into „labels“ by asking inhabitants of selected districts of Madrid to wear urban fashion items with label-prints for one week in their daily routine. While  simply following their daily routine, the artwork itself sinks into the urban space, the philosophical concepts compete face-to-face with the other label concepts in the public domain.

The question this work is raising: Are these names already „labelized“ (or people would simply acclaim them as bing labels) or do they transport meaning? Can such an ephemere intervention survive as an artwork in the eyes of the public?

WORK STATEMENTMy work is often built around mainstream idioms- formally, visually and contextually. It is acting from a post-productive atmosphere of art-production and attempts on impulsive use of wide ranging styles and gestures. Taking a creative-direction approach which implements all media and ways of expression (by principle) and is rather guided by a critical idea-based process with a rhetorical ending embedded in the finished artwork/ exhibition seems to me very interesting. It is, from a formal point of view in some tradition with conceptual art, but is also nurtured from “the idea of the perfect surface” as well as irony and humor becoming weapons in the artistic process. I am trying in my work to grasp into the domains of schizoidity, doubleness and irrationality, the shuffles and interplays these domains are able to stage, accompanied by a doubtfulness about methods and approaches that attempt to be very canonical by means of formal or contextual issues. In traditional means, the rhetorical issues have come to a dissociative end as we all know and experience. That, for instance there is always the possibility to swap sides by means of interpreting and re-interpreting facts in a discourse is a strange development. This is of course influencing the discourse happening in the visual arts as well. As I do not see the necessity for a work of art to take sides I “treat the content democrati-cally: there is a matter of interpretation, but the implemented domains are not being directed to a certain outcome - to reformulate issues from and out of an artistic viewpoint in the sense of a democratic blueprint is my foremost intention.

2008. Anno Dijstra. DISLOCATIONS

 Trinity Site, the American monument for the first ever atomic bomb tests has been carefully rebuilt in plaster and placed in a suburb of Ghent. A starving child from Ethiopia is cast in bronze and shows up in down town Madrid. Tourists like to have their picture taken in front of the touching sculpture with a compassionate look in their eyes. A polyester copy of the Vietnamese girl Kim Phuk stands for a while in a suburb of Hoorn before moving on to various locations throughout Gdansk. Another scale model of an atomic explosion cast in bronze is placed on a green in front of a block of 70’s flats in Haarlem.

The reactions by people living in the area and coincidental passers by to the dislocations are strikingly diverse. Some take pity on the naked Vietnamese girl by dressing her in cloths for the cold winter nights. Others just wonder; where have I seen this before? Some people are incensed by the sculpture, in others it summons up anger, why now? Why here? What gives the artist the right to confront me with this on my own doorstep? Exactly the same images that are haphazardly thrust into our living rooms (the personal domain) through the television set seem to be experienced as less invasive.

2008. Andreas Templin. HELL IS COMING / WORLD ENDS TODAY (published text)

Hell Is Coming / World Ends Today, a situationist play for the inner city of Madrid, is a temporary intervention staged in Madrid. It has a duration of one week and will include a total of 151 participants.

In the work Hell is Coming/World Ends Today, Andreas Templin is showing reference to the Situationist movement, its strong impact and continuous flow and, in relation to that, points at some of the common problems that movements seem to be afflicted by: The moment of its pure realisation by an individuals mind vs. the competitiveness of styles, attitudes and trends of specific concepts in society.

In this artwork, a few of the key philosophical thesis which sum up, from Templin‘s viewpoint, the strongest and most direct impact on the individual in contemporary Western societies culminate in an ephemeral play.

This happens by transferring these philosophers‘ names into daily life by asking 150 inhabitants of Madrid to wear urban fashion items with label-prints for one week in their daily routine. While simply following their daily routine, the artwork itself sinks into the urban space, the philosophical concepts compete face-to-face with the other label concepts and brandings in the public domain.

These concepts and their visual appearance are:

- speed and devastation. Paul Virilio

- the camp / the concentration camp. Giorgio Agamben

- power / Michel Foucault

- hatred / fundamentalism / represented by an re-enactment of fanatic right-wing demonstrations. This will be staged by a doppelganger of a preacher standing around at various street-corners of Madrid

The question this work is raising: Are these names already „labels“ (or do people simply acclaim them as big labels) or do they transport meaning? Can such an ephemeral intervention survive as an artwork in the eyes of the public?“. Andreas Templin

There will be a live-published website available with special contributions by Dr. Andreas L. Hofbauer and Dennis De La Haye.

2008. Andreas Templin. WIN-WIN-SITUATION, 2004-05

Model for sculptural work, app 75x120x75xcm (dog Kennel), wood, c-prints

This sculptural work of 2004-05 based on a standard dog kennel for mid-sized is meant to be contribution to the postproductive movement in cotemporary art. Many solutions in visual art tend to be resolved in standadrized and common principle of representation, while the ending-point of this principle can already be found in the work approach of Andy Warhol. The suggestion of this absurd merchandise tries to pinpoint on this specific problem of visual art production becoming a post-productive gesture of itself.

2008. Andreas Templin. MONUMENT FOR DONATELLA VERSACE, 2005

2008. Andreas Templin. MONUMENT FOR DONATELLA VERSACE, 2005

 

  

Installation view at Art Chicago / Art in the Park, Chicago 2005Installetive mixed media work with performative elements

    

 

"Monument for Donatella Versace" is an artwork whitch interplays performative and installative aspects. It is built as an aesthetical "co-branding" adopting Versace-like elements with the intencion of commenting the idioms of pre-manufactured lifestyle-conceps on the example of Donatella Versace. It follows the intention of an "unwished co-branding"- to bring the luxurious lifestyle promoted by the brand Versace to the street-level.

Next to the monument, which is preferably installed in periphere urban surroundings, free champagne in the coolers and kitschy R&B music from a ghettoblaster and a few (casted) fancy Versace-like dressed girls are being used to indulge the visitors into a sort of exclusive club-like atmosphere vernissage/opening blurring the boundaries of branding and visual art equally.

The announcement/invitation for the event/opening is printed on promotional gifts like lighters and matches appearing in the same style than the monument.
