Exhibition Florica Prevenda, Art Museum, Cluj-Napoca-Cluj

I was convinced that I could recreate the past only by using the approach "reasonable not-reasonable", thus revealing and making relive all these "me" passed, all these feelings and perceptions protected by the lapse of memory, in the attempt to find the me-fragmented in dissolution which could exist only by its reconstitution.

I have no agenda for this, hidden or otherwise...just a show of solidarity which will ripple into tsunamis of 'status and confidence for individuals, groups, previously repressed or ignored'.

Ennio Elefantus Pauluzzi

Ennio Elefantus Pauluzzi is with us!

Two months after the demise of the mailartist Ennio Pauluzzi, DodoDada remembers him with the publication of this “Notebook n° 3”. Thanks to the archives of Anna Boschi and Vittore Baroni, who also wrote an interesting introduction, several examples of Ennio’s postal work between 1989 and 1996 can be admired, as well as other postcards and traces of events he took part in 2008-2010. In short, a publication rich of images to know and appreciate him even more.

„Männer mit Schlapphüten wuchsen aus dem Boden. Wohin wir Kinder auch gehen mochten, um zu spielen, überall öffneten sich abgrundtiefe Steinbrüche, schwarzwimmelnd von Männern mit Dynamit in den Händen, deren Münder voll von Flüchen, Gesang und gewaltigen Drohungen waren. Um das Leben dieser Männer dröhnte es. Sie bewegten sich dort unten in den Steinklüften wie die Räuber...

Sie bohrten Eisenstöcke in den Berg, trieben sie mit Vorschlagshämmern hinein und dann schossen sie. "Feuer im Berg!" schrien sie und kauerten sich im Pass zusammen. Darauf toste es in der Tiefe , und die ganze Ortschaft um die Eisenbahnstation herum erbebte. So ging es jeden Tag, den ganzen Tag. Überall war der Zutritt verboten. Die Landschaft war aufgerissen und ausgehöhlt. Die Steinbrüche gähnten in den Wäldern Es roch nach Kohlengrus und Öl, und der Dampf der Kräne stand in Wolken um ihr Gehäuse.“ (Harry Martinson, Die Nesseln blühen)

"Men in slouch-hats grew up out of the ground. Wherever we children went to play, stony precipices opened out before them, dark and crawling with men carrying dynamite in their hands. Their mouths were full of oaths and songs and tremendous affirmations.There was a thundering about the lives of these men. They moved about downthere in those stony ravines like the brigands of the Rockies. They bored with iron rods into the rock, drove them down with the sledge-hammers, and then fired. "Blasting"!" the yelled, and clung together on the ledge. Then there was a roar below, and all the buildings of the settlement trembled. It was like this very day all day. Everywhere was forbidden ground.Everywhere the landscape was split up. hollowed out. Stone-pits yawned in the woods. There was a smell of coal-dust and oil, and steam from the winches hung in a cloud round the winch-sheds.!"
(Harry Martinson)

V¦ux BIPVAL pour 2011

L’équipe de la Biennale des Poètes en Val de Marne (BIPVAL) vient vous présenter ses meilleurs vœux pour l’année 2011.

Opening reception for "An Exchange with Sol LeWitt"

Paul Ramirez Jonas, Boarding Pass, 2010.


Dear friends,
Please join us on Thursday, 20 January, for the opening of “An Exchange with Sol LeWitt,” a two-part exhibition curated by Regine Basha and on view at Cabinet and MASS MoCA.

Cabinet: 21 January–5 March, 2011
Opening reception: Thursday, 20 January 2011, 7–9 pm
Location: 300 Nevins Street, Brooklyn, NY

Gallery hours: 12-6 pm, Tuesday - Saturday

MASS MoCA: 23 January–31 March, 2011
Opening reception: Saturday, 22 January 2011, 7–9 pm
Location: 1040 MASS MoCA Way, North Adams, MA

Gallery hours: 11 am–5 pm, every day except Tuesday

Although best-known for the revolutionary role he played in the development of both Conceptualism and Minimalism, Sol LeWitt was also renowned for exchanging works with various artists throughout his lifetime. For LeWitt, the act of exchange seemed to be not only a personal gesture, but also an integral part of his conceptual practice. In addition to encouraging the circulation of artworks through a gift economy that challenged the art world’s dominant transactional model, LeWitt’s practice of trading with friends and strangers had the same qualities of generosity and risk that characterize his work in general. In the spirit of continuing this philosophy, and in conjunction with the “LeWitt Wall Drawing Retrospective” on view at MASS MoCA through 2033, Cabinet and MASS MoCA present “An Exchange with Sol LeWitt”—a curatorial project initiated by independent curator Regine Basha. The two-part exhibition will be on view at Cabinet from 21 January through 5 March 2011 and at MASS MoCA from 23 January through 31 March 2011.

The works of art that LeWitt received throughout his life, as well as records of what he offered in return, are maintained by the Sol LeWitt Private Collection in Chester, Connecticut—Eva Hesse, Steve Reich, Robert Mangold, Hanne Darboven, and Robert Ryman are some of the distinguished artists whose works are included in the collection. LeWitt did not restrict this practice to established contemporaries and friends, but also consistently traded with admirers and amateur artists whom he did not know. Inspired by the artist’s code of conduct, Basha initiated an open call for images, objects, music, film, books, and ephemera. The response was overwhelming, with nearly one thousand contributions received from around the world.
