Non-Stop Infinity
Especially the Web-Artists create artworks, which have the aspect of endlessness bulit into their virtual architecture, whether in the form of a loop or a randomized algorithm, sorting endless user input. Interactive web-based works involve the visitors of the exhibition as they can navigate via computer mouse in a spatial arrangement. Also the perception of the infinite space, perceived by the astronauts of the Apollo 11 Mission, is taken into account in the exhibition.

One Related Philosophy
Angelo Plessas
Opening: June 29th, 7 – 10 pm
On view: June 30th – July 2nd, 1 – 6 pm
Mansteinstraße 3, 10783 Berlin
Future Gallery is proud to present One Related Philosophy, the first solo exhibition in Germany of Greek/Italian artist Angelo Plessas.
Angelo’s main body of work consists of websites that bring together an animated “object” with a domain name that functions as the title and location of the piece. These web objects often resemble sculptural portraits of imaginary characters, alternating between funny and poignant, strange and romantic. In his work, Plessas fuses iconography of ancient civilizations, surrealist abstractions and modernist references together with the social networking habit of imagined identities. Although immaterial, these pieces have a strong handcrafted quality and a distinct graphic style, always animated and interactive. Sometimes focusing on the theme of identity, these pieces become characters and portraits, while at other times they become experiments of color and form, always conveying abstract emotions to the viewer in contrast to our “reality” driven online situation.
One Related Philosophy is abstracted from the titles of three websites featured in the show. Each work has its own distinct relationship to Internet time. OneMinuteRevolution.com is a website that can only be experienced in its happening for a period of 60 seconds. This almost performative work grasps the fleeting nature of online time. After the work has run its course it is no longer visible, nothing more than a black background remains. ObjectRelatedTheory.com provides an interactive environment, which the viewer is invited to mingle with. The every growing forms continue to accumulate in size until they are struck by the cursor, at which point they sever into smaller pieces of themselves which continue to grow at the same rate as their former parts. ZigZagPhilosophy.com depicts a robust line of color shouting across the screen via mouse movements. With every change in direction the line creases and piles on top of itself infinitely creating a ever forming mountain of colorful zig zags.
Angelo Plessas lives and works in Athens, Greece. His work has been exhibited in various museums and institutions at venues such as: Jeu De Paume, Berkeley Art Museum, Emst Athens, Deste Foundation, Athens Biennale. Most recently he exhibited Angelo Plessas Presents at the Triennale of Milan.

We like All About Beirut
Opening16. Dezember 2010
19 Uhr
Kunsthalle whiteBOX
München
Beirut has forever been the scene of wars and conflicts and remains in a state of deep disquiet; the everyday interactions of its inhabitants are informed by religious and political tensions. At the same time, the city is the throbbing, artistic centre of Lebanon, home to a young and very active artistic scene which at times appears dynamic and versatile, at times controversial and provocative. The treatment and memory of (their own) history keep reappearing as important subjects – intimately entwined with the question of one’s own identity and feeling of belonging.

DREI / 3 / III / גגג
Eine Performance von Mirko Hecktor, Daniel Kluge, Alexander Giesche, Florian Krauß und Lea Letzel
in Zusammenarbeit peer to space
14. Oktober 21 Uhr Premiere
16. Oktober 20 Uhr / 22 Uhr / 24 Uhr
im MaximiliansForum, München
im Rahmen der Langen Nacht der Museen (Eintritt frei)
Der Garten der Lüste, ein Triptychon des niederländischen Malers Hieronymus Bosch, das in ganz eigensinniger Weise den Vorstellungsraum des Betrachters generiert und strukturiert, steht bei der Auseinandersetzung mit imaginären Raum-Konstruktionen im Zentrum der Performance. Über die Untersuchung des Bosch’schen Bildraumes hinaus wird sich die performative Arbeit zeitgenössischen Theorien von Welt zuwenden, insbesondere dem jüngst populär gewordenen Empire des amerikanischen Literaturwissenschaftlers Michael Hardt und des italienischen Philosophen Antonio Negri. Die theoretischen Konzepte und ihre Möglichkeiten hinsichtlich der Konstruktion von Raum werden performativ erkundet und dabei immer wieder in ihren Grenzen auf den realen Raum des MaximiliansForum zurückgeführt, der in seiner Beschaffenheit einem Triptychon ähnelt.
Zwölf Macbooks dienen sowohl als visuelle als auch akustische Grundlage. Auf den Bildschirmen werden insgesamt zwölf Szenen die Performance bestimmen. In der Annahme, dass die Struktur des Triptychons ein Prinzip der Weltordnung widerspiegelt, wird die Netzwerkverbindung zwischen den Protagonisten wie auch den neuen Medien dazu verwendet, ein Bild zu erschaffen, das sich den Ordnungsstrukturen des 21ten Jahrhunderts annähert.

Identity Reset?
Photo reportage from the Balkans to Afghanistan
30. September 2010
Eröffnung um 19 h bei boque auf croque
(Sonnenstraße 22, München)
weitere Termine: 1.,2., 3. Oktober, jeweils von 14-18 Uhr (und nach Vereinbarung)
Adina Huber travelled to the Balkans, Florian Generotzky followed the Danube from the Black Sea to Hungary and Mika Schmidt went to Kabul, Afghanistan to explore the urbanity and living spaces of the inhabitants with their cameras.
War and political upheavals shape the history of these places: Outskirts, apartment buildings scarred by bullet holes and ruins of former Russian Culture Centres. Spaces filled with life. In the photographs one notices a longing for a new start.
These urban spaces and their symbolic meanings have changed over time – just as the identity of the people living in them. As testimonies of the past the buildings are part of peoples’ respective cultural memories and have an effect on their identity. History – collective, territorial, symbolic and individual – is ubiquitous and cannot be escaped from. Is a new start possible at all?
