Felix Kiessling: Your map is not correct anymore. (video still), 5.30min, Nordkyn, 2017 NOWs: Produktion. Made in Germany Drei Kestner Gesellschaft, Kunstverein Hannover, Sprengel Museum Hannover Exhibition opening: June 2nd, 2017, 5.00 pm 17.00 pm – Sprengel Museum Hannover 19.00 pm – Kestner Gesellschaft 20.15 pm – Kunstverein Hannover 22.00 pm – IMPURE FICTION, Perfomance – Kunstverein Hannover/Literaturhaus The third edition of Made in Germany, which is collectively curated on a five-year-cycle by the three institutions, focuses on the conditions of producing art in Germany. The group exhibition pursues the questions of how geographical, political, and institutional structures as well as new technologies are creating important conditions for the production of art in the course of the digital turn. In an art landscape that, by international standards, continues to have a unique concentration of institutions (art academies and colleges, art associations, and museums), the German scene is a major international site for the production of and discourse on contemporary art. The exhibition focuses on artistic positions that address production processes and examines the sites at which it is produced and presented. Besides processual approaches, by way of examples it investigates forms of production that direct the spotlight on network concepts. This becomes palpable based on collective approaches and time-based presentations in which the body and the social attain altered visibilities. As participating institutions, the Schauspiel Hannover, the Festival Theaterformen, and the KunstFestSpiele are contributing the first time, supplementing the question of production and site with additional projects and thus highlighting the changing production conditions of theater and performance not only in spaces of visual art.

Juni 2017 17.00 Uhr – Sprengel Museum Hannover 19.00 Uhr – Kestner Gesellschaft 20.15 Uhr – Kunstverein Hannover 22.00 Uhr – IMPURE FICTION, Perfomance – Kunstverein Hannover/Literaturhaus Im Fokus der dritten Ausstellung »Made in Germany«, die im fünfjährigen Turnus von den drei Institutionen gemeinsam kuratiert wird, liegen die Produktions- bedingungen von Kunst in Deutschland. Die Gruppenausstellung geht der Frage nach, wie geografische, politische und institutionelle Strukturen sowie neue Technologien im Zuge der digitalen Wende entscheidende Voraussetzungen für die Herstellung von Kunst schaffen. In einer Kunstlandschaft mit einer nach wie vor international einzigartigen Dichte an Institutionen (Kunsthochschulen, Kunstvereine und Museen) ist die deutsche Szene ein wichtiger internationaler Produktions- und Diskursort der zeitgenössischen Kunst. Im Zentrum der Ausstellung stehen künstlerische Positionen, die Produktions-prozesse thematisieren und sich mit Orten der Herstellung als auch mit Orten der Präsentation auseinandersetzen. Neben prozessualen Arbeitsweisen werden exemplarisch Produktionsformen untersucht, die den Netzwerkgedanken in den Mittelpunkt rücken. Dieser wird anhand kollektiver Arbeitsweisen und zeitbasierter Aufführungen erfahrbar, in denen der Körper und das Soziale veränderte Sichtbarkeiten erlangen. Das Schauspiel Hannover, das Festival Theaterformen und die KunstFestSpiele Herrenhausen wirken dieses Jahr erstmalig als beteiligte Institutionen mit, um die Frage nach Produktion und Standort mit weiteren Projekten zu ergänzen. Die sich wandelnden Produktionsbedingungen von Darstellung und Performance werden somit nicht nur in Räumen der Bildenden Kunst hinterfragt.

Courtesy the artist. NOWs: Artist Talk by Matthias Sohr at NTU Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore Blk 43 Malan Road, Gillman Barracks, Singapur 109443 19:30 – 21:00 UTC+08 In the context of Matthias Sohr’s Studio Session, pianist Christina CL Tan and collaborators perform “Quiet”, a song taken from Leonard Bernstein’s operetta Candide (1956), based on Voltaire’s eponymous novel and character. The story of Candide’s wandering the world and confronting its paradoxes can be read as an allegory of contemporary artistic research. Departing from “Quiet”, featured in his 4-channel-video installation No Doubt You’ll Think (2017) presented on occasion of Residencies OPEN last April, Sohr will discuss the place he is speaking from in regards to his sculptural work and related research. Tan’s remarks on the formal aspects of “Quiet” will stimulate discussion on the ways form and content relate to each other. The talk will take place in the artist’s studio. BIOGRAPHIES Matthias Sohr obtained a Master of Visual Arts from the University of Art and Design Lausanne, Switzerland. He has been a visiting lecturer at the University of Arts and Industrial Design Linz, Austria; Berlin University of the Arts, Institute of Spatial Experiments, Germany. His work has been exhibited at Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo (MOT), Japan and Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin, Germany, among others. Christina Tan Cheng Lian is a pianist, lecturer, and composer. She holds a Doctor of Musical Arts in Piano Performance, Theory minor from the University of Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music. She has served on the music faculty of several universities in the USA. Currently, she lectures at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, LaSalle College of the Arts, School of Contemporary Music, School of the Arts Singapore, and teaches masterclasses and workshops both in Asia and in the United States.
