IMPRESS ME!

 IMPRESS ME!

 15. Juni 2012, NGBK (1.OG), 16 - 21 Uhr

Once in a while, artists take it upon themselves to publish their own work - and also the work of others. Taking matters into their own hands, they delve into the world of self-publishing - sometimes this can result in 'one-off' editions or even whole series. Impress me! is a small fair/event that casts an eye on the world of artists as publishers. The artist-publishers present will introduce their own special form (and formats!) of publishing at an event that will encompass presentations, readings and concerts.

Hin und wieder ergreifen Künstler_innen selbst die Initiative und veröffentlichen ihre eigenen Publikationen - manchmal publizieren sie auch Arbeiten anderer Künstler_innen. Sie nutzen die Gelegenheit und steigen in die Welt des 'Self-Publishings' ein. Die Ergebnisse können 'One-Offs' oder auch ganze Serien sein. 'Impress me!' ist eine Mini-Messe die ein Auge auf die Welt der Künstler_innen als 'Self-Publisher' wirft. Die Künstler_innen-Publizist_innen vor Ort werden ihre eigenen Publikationsformen (und Formate!) vorstellen im Rahmen einer Veranstaltung mit Präsentationen, Lesungen und Konzerten.

Kombiticket CLUBROOM # 2 - Channel Tunnel

'Channel Tunnel'
15 - 20 February 2012

NGBK’s art outreach “club” run by Catriona Shaw in the exhibition space


Last year Kombiticket opened the doors of 'Clubroom', an outreach club that started from scratch using some basic materials, invited guests and NGBK visitors’ input in order to take shape. One year and diverse evolutions later, Clubroom will open it's doors again, offering some fascinating and entertaining insights into outreach tactics, including a retrospective of the Kombiticket program since mid-2010, experimental interactive art created live in an on-site atelier as well as an exciting range of open workshops and presentations by international artists and architects.     


Program day to day - continuous:

Kombicorner - open for gallery visitors to leave behind their own creative ideas for the clubroom as well as contribute to the fanzine
Channel Tunnel “Bau” - an open, on-site studio/workshop by
students of Christian Vialard's class from Villa Arson, Nice  
Kombiticket archive - Documentation of Catriona Shaw's outreach program

Special Events:

Thursday, 16.02. / 10-14:00h
Camouflage workshop with Rhona Byrne and Catriona Shaw and pupils from the Kurt Tucholsky Oberschule, Berlin


‘Lost in space’ Workshop with Rhona Byrne
This workshop involves the design and making of a series of site-specific wearable group costumes made out of found materials. The costumes would camouflage the groups to become invisible observers within the gallery space. This project considers the distracted states of mind of an urban dweller.

Rhona Byrne lives and works in Dublin, Ireland. Site or context is usually the point of departure for her projects. Byrnes practice employs an interdisciplinary approach and often involves collaboration with diverse industries, groups and individuals such as roller coaster enthusiasts, pigeon fanciers, pilots, ecologists and psychologists. Her projects explore the unstable conditions of environment, experience, meaning and emotion, navigating complex layers of physical, mental and social space. Her work manifests in many forms including sculpture, video, photographs, drawings, context specific installations, collaborative event-based projects and books. She graduated from NCAD with a BFA in Sculpture in 1994.

Kombiticket Workshop:

"Urban Documents" - an artistic field recording workshop with sound artist Gilles Aubry

Samstag, 17.12.2011
10:00 - 15:00
Kostenloser Workshop für bis zu 12 Teilnehmer
Anmeldung erfolgt über office@ngbk.de

Sound Künstler Gilles Aubry bietet den Teilnehmern eine kurze praktische Einführung in das Field-Recording an, sowie einen Einblick in seinem künstlerischen Schaffens.  Nach einer Einführung zur seiner Arbeiten in der aktuelle Ausstellung "Urban Cultures of Global Prayers", realisieren die Teilnehmer eigene Tonaufnahmen von einfachen alltagssituationen in der unmittelbaren Gegend.
Nach der kurzen Ausflug sammeln sich die Teilnehmer wieder in die NGBK um ihren Sounds gemeinsam anzuhören und Ergebnisse/Erfahrungen zu diskutieren. Dabei werden Aspekten der Klangproduktion und -rezeption problematisiert: Wie positionniert sich der Author? Wer wird gehört? Wer wird nicht gehört? Wie kann man Räume klanglich dokumentieren? Wie unterscheiden sich auditive Dokumentationsformen von klassischen visuellen dokumentationsformen?

Sound artist Gilles Aubry offers workshop participants a short, practical introduction to field recording. He will also talk about his own artistic practice. Following a short presentation of his work in the current exhibition 'Urban Cultures of Global Prayers', the participants will go about making their own audio recordings of simple day-to-day situations in the immediate vicinity of the NGBK.
After this excursion, the participants will gather back at the NGBK and do some 'collective listening' as well as discussing experiences and results. Aspects of sound production will be discussed, such as: how does the author of the work position themselves? Who is heard? Who is not heard? How can we record the sound of spaces? What is the difference between auditive documentation and classic visual documentation formats?
