El programa, que este año cumple su octava edición, busca potenciar la realización de proyectos de exposición inéditos que versen sobre cualquier faceta de la creación artística actual y que destaquen por la innovación, calidad y la adecuación del proyecto a los recursos disponibles. Inéditos es uno de las pocas iniciativas encaminadas a fomentar la inserción de los jóvenes comisarios en los circuitos profesionales, facilitando a los seleccionados la posibilidad de producir su primera exposición y editar un catálogo del conjunto de la muestra, concediéndoles, además, una ayuda de 3.000 euros como honorarios. Inéditos se ha consolidado como uno de los programas de ayuda al arte joven de referencia en Europa. Durante los últimos años, Inéditos ha mostrado los trabajos de 32 jóvenes comisarios que, de forma individual o en equipo, han presentado 21 exposiciones que han versado sobre diferentes aspectos del arte contemporáneo. El press view de INÉDITOS 2009 tendrá lugar el martes 30 de junio, entre las 11 y las 13.00 horas, en las salas A, B y C de La Casa Encendida (Ronda de Valencia, 2). Los ganadores de la convocatoria de este año son Emma Brasó y Héctor Sanz Castaño con el proyecto SIN-TAG. Anónimos, Pseudónimos y Álter egos; Beatriz Alonso y Victoria Gil-Delgado, con Como diría Roland Barthes, ni te cases ni te embarques; y Direlia Lazo con A la vuelta de la esquina. El jurado de INÉDITOS 2009 ha estado compuesto por José Guirao, Director de La Casa Encendida de Obra Social Caja Madrid; Javier Hontoria, crítico; Marta Rincón, responsable de exposiciones de la Sociedad Estatal para la Acción Cultural Exterior de España (SEACEX) e Isabel Tejeda, comisaria.

El CA2M organiza este taller de diseño de mobiliario impartido por el diseñador holandés Tejo Remy y enfocado al mundo de la creación contemporánea. Con este taller, el CA2M inicia un proyecto de largo plazo en torno a las nuevas dimensiones del diseño y las relaciones con el mundo contemporáneo. El objetivo del taller es debatir y repensar el diseño mediante nuevos procesos creativos. Se trata de un laboratorio de diseño experimental en donde poder imaginar y producir mobiliario a través de la reutilización de objetos cotidianos, basando el resultado en la ironía y la subversión. Tras el taller, elementos cotidianos en desuso y utensilios obsoletos se transformarán en nuevos objetos funcionales que formarán parte del mobiliario del Centro. El proyecto pretende también propiciar la colaboración y aprendizaje mutuo entre arquitectos, diseñadores y artistas, así como fomentar nuevas actitudes creativas basadas en estrategias de sostenibilidad. El taller será impartido en ingles. Tejo Remy Pocas personas pueden hablar sobre la reutilización y la apropiación en el diseño con la misma singularidad que el icónico y prolífico diseñador holandés Tejo Remy. Sus primeros diseños a principios de los 90 se basaban en innovadores planteamientos que desafiaban al estilo dominante y anunciaban una nueva era de diversión e ingenio. Una de las características del diseño holandés es su acercamiento al humor atrevido y Tejo Remy es sin duda uno de los pioneros en desarrollár este concepto. Sus diseños muestran el sentido de la nostalgia y la funcionalidad, en ellas combina viejos materiales con la ironía y el sentido del humor. Remy ha estado trabajando durante décadas como productor y diseñador de mobiliario para el estudio holandés Droog Desing y recientemente ha creado junto con Rene Veenhuizen Remy/Veenhuizen, con quien trabaja ideando proyectos que rompen con las fronteras del diseño. Hablar de Diseño holandés es hablar de sostebilidad e interactividad, y el trabajo de Remy simplifica a la perfeccion estos dos conceptos. Su Cómoda, por ejemplo, es mucho más que la reutilización de viejos cajones encontrados. La naturaleza ocasional y casi casual en la cual son dispuestos, habla de un sentido de urgencia y condiciona que cada usuario interactúe con los cajones de manera diferente proporcionando un carácter único al objeto. La Silla de Trapo, la Cómoda, y la Lámpara de Botella de Leche, son tres ejemplos desarrollados por Remy a partir de 1991. Adelantándose a su tiempo, estos diseños han abierto las puertas para una nueva generación de diseñadores que exploran el empleo de materiales y transforman los elementos cotidianos en nuevos objetos reinventados. Desde su sociedad con Veenhuizen, Remy ha seguido explorando la naturaleza de los objetos y los lugares, creando productos y espacios que se unen con el individuo a un nivel personal, a menudo partiendo de formas naturales, y forzándonos a replanearnos nuestras interacciones con los objetos y el mundo. Tejo Remy Inscripciones: Inscripción gratuita. Las inscripciones se realizarán rellenando el formulario de solicitud del taller y enviándolo por correo a centrodeartedosdemayo@madrid.org haciendo constar en el asunto del mensaje: “Taller de creación de mobiliario”. Plazo de inscripción: Hasta el 8 de septiembre del 2009.

The Serpentine Gallery presents an exhibition of the work of the celebrated American artist Jeff Koons, his first major exhibition in a public gallery in England. Working in thematic series since the early 1980s, Koons has explored notions of consumerism, taste, banality, childhood and sexuality. He is known for his meticulously fabricated works that draw on a variety of objects and images from American and consumer culture. For his exhibition at the Gallery, Koons presents paintings and sculptures from his Popeye series, which he began in 2002. The works incorporate some of Koons’s signature ideas and motifs, including surreal combinations of everyday objects, cartoon imagery, art-historical references and children’s toys. The sculptures on show continue Koons’s interest in casting inflatable toys. Those typically used by children in a swimming pool are cast in aluminium, their surfaces painted to bear an uncanny resemblance to the original objects. He juxtaposes these replica readymades with unaltered everyday objects, such as chairs or rubbish bins. The paintings are complex and layered compositions that combine disparate images both found and created by Koons, including images of the sculptures in the series. Featuring loans from both public and private collections, the exhibition also includes works that have never been shown publicly before.The immediately recognisable figures of Popeye and Olive Oyl are central in the series and appear in several prominent works within the exhibition. One of the most iconic American comicstrip characters, Popeye was conceived 80 years ago this year in 1929 when the Great Depression was taking hold. In Popeye’s early years, the cartoon addressed the hardships and injustices of the time and, in this current period of economic recession, he is a fitting character to rediscover and explore. Koons has used inflatables in his work since the late 1970s; one of his most iconic sculptures, Rabbit, 1986, is an inflatable bunny rendered in reflective stainless steel. He has also made sculptures on a spectacular scale inspired by inflatables, including works from his monumental Celebration series. Jeff Koons was born in York, Pennsylvania, in 1955. His work has been widely exhibited internationally and his most recent solo exhibitions include presentations at the Château de Versailles, France; Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin; Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; and Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, all in 2008. Koons lives and works in New York. Photo: Jeff Koons. Popeye 2003. Oil on canvas 274.3 x 213.4 cm © 2008 Jeff Koons

The second installment of this summer series of five multidisciplinary performances aims to answer the questions: What remains after a performance occurs? What happens when a person misses a performance? Can the experience of that performance be recreated and seen in a gallery even if it occurred elsewhere? Here/Not There stretches something ephemeral -- performance -- into something more lasting. It explores how something can be experienced in one place and yet offer a sense of the experience in another. Each week in July, a different Chicago artist presents ways to merge the performative and the visual. The initial performances begin on Tuesday evenings at 7 pm after which the remnants, traces, or experiences generated by the artist remain in the gallery through the following Sunday. While the installation is centered in the McCormick Tribune Orientation space, the performance(s) may be located in various spaces throughout the MCA and even the surrounding streets. Some of these performances will occur throughout the week. Using multiple media, each of the five artists demonstrates how performance and visual art can not only coexist but also expand the notions of these often separate fields.

James Ensor (1860–1949) was a major figure in the Belgian avant-garde of the late nineteenth century and an important precursor to the development of Expressionism in the early twentieth. In both respects he has influenced generations of later artists. This exhibition presents approximately 120 works, examining Ensor's contribution to modernity, his innovative and allegorical use of light, his prominent use of satire, his deep interest in carnival and performance, and his own self-fashioning and use of masking, travesty, and role-playing. Examples of Ensor's paintings, prints, and drawings are installed in an overlapping network of themes and images to produce a complete picture of this daring, experiential body of work. Ultimately, this exhibition presents James Ensor as a socially engaged and self-critical artist involved with the issues of his times and with contemporary debates on the very nature of modernism. The exhibition, which is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue, will travel to the Musée d'Orsay, Paris, October 2009–February 2010.

La Calle del Desengaño toma el nombre de una de las más antiguas calles donde se ejerce la prostitución en Madrid. El proyecto consta de una serie de fotografías realizadas por Luis Cuenca Castro a transexuales ejerciendo la prostitución tomadas a lo largo de varios meses de trabajo. Cada una de las fotos va acompañada de una frase sacada de las conversaciones que mantuvo con ellas, y que en cierta manera nos muestran sus sentimientos más privados y nos ayudan a entender el complejo y fascinante mundo transexual. En palabras del artista: ¨Lo que para muchos hubiera sido un oscuro mundo que explorar, para mi fue una experiencia estimulante. El dichoso morbo sobre lo prohibido, la belleza plástica de estos seres nocturnos, además de su continuo y tentador deseo sexual, fueron lo que me atrajo a realizar este proyecto.¨

The degree of fame enjoyed by the works of Hermann Obrist (1862–1927) has little relation to their art-historical importance. In Munich in the 1890s, the Swiss-born sculptor established the German variation of the Art Nouveau movement – Jugendstil – which merged the intricate craftsmanship of the applied arts with the aesthetic demands of the liberal fine arts.   However, more importantly, with his fountains and tombs Obrist created the first abstract sculptures that developed a language of their own through the interaction of organic and inorganic structures – something that cannot be simply included under the heading ›Jugendstil‹. Apart from reconstructing an œuvre that has become largely unknown, the exhibition illustrates the considerable artistic and scientific importance that Obrist’s idea of combining imagery and contemporary scholarship still has to this day. This interrelation with the world of science can also be found in contemporary art. In his treatment of photography, Obrist went beyond the traditional understanding of sculpture and paradigmatically opened up new paths for the art of the 20th century. For the very first time, this exhibition will bring together pieces bequeathed to the Staatliche Graphische Sammlung München (State Print Collection) and works in the collection of applied art at the Museum für Gestaltung Zürich (Design Museum in Zurich) housed in the Museum Bellerive, providing a comprehensive picture of the œuvre created by the draughtsman, sculptor and theoretician. Major contemporary figures and friends, including August Endell, Henry van de Velde and Rudolf Steiner, enable us to see Obrist’s art within a wider context.   Obrist’s last public appearance was at the ›Exhibition for Unknown Architects‹ staged by the ›Arbeitsrat für Kunst‹ in Berlin in 1919, where he was considered a father figure by the younger generation of Expressionist architects and sculptors. The exhibition is rounded off by taking a look at the work of Rudolf Belling, Hermann Finsterlin, Wenzel Hablik, Hans Poelzig and Bruno Taut in conjunction with Obrist’s abstract sculptures. The biomorphic structures in Hermann Obrist’s barely known sculptural œuvre at the Pinakothek der Moderne demonstrate their contemporary qualities in the sculpture and architecture of the modern day.

Pasar de ser una colección privada a convertirse en museo público constituye una metamorfosis verdaderamente extraordinaria. En el caso del Museo Guggenheim el cambio comenzó en 1937, cuando Solomon R. Guggenheim constituyó una fundación con el objetivo de inaugurar un museo en el que preservar y exponer al público su colección de arte moderno. Desde entonces, la colección fundacional del Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum se ha visto ampliada con importantes donaciones y adquisiciones procedentes de otros pioneros que compartían el mismo espíritu de Guggenheim. Estas adquisiciones incluyen los fondos de Expresionismo Alemán y del primer Expresionismo Abstracto reunidos por el eminente galerista Karl Nierendorf; la colección de pintura y escultura abstracta y surrealista de Peggy Guggenheim, sobrina de Solomon; el conjunto de obras maestras del Impresionismo y Posimpresionismo, y del incipiente arte moderno de Justin K. Thannhauser; e importantes obras procedentes de los respectivos patrimonios de dos mujeres visionarias, Hilla Rebay y Katherine S. Dreier. Fiel a su misión original de promover "el arte del mañana", la Guggenheim Foundation persevera en su compromiso de ampliar su colección de arte contemporáneo. Adquisiciones tan importantes como la donación de la Bohen Foundation le permiten presentar el arte moderno y contemporáneo desde una perspectiva transversal, que resulta vital y dinámica. La historia de esta singular colección sigue en evolución. Foto: Franz Marc. Vaca amarilla (Gelbe Kuh), 1911. Óleo sobre lienzo. 140,5 x 189,2 cm. Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Nueva York.

Per Kirkeby (Copenhague, 1938) adquiere desde su juventud conocimientos y un pensamiento científicos, en 1957 inicia sus estudios de Geografía en la Universidad de Copenhague. Se matricula años más tarde en la Escuela de Arte Experimental ('Ex School') de Copenhague, donde se decanta por la pintura, el diseño gráfico, el cine en 8 mm y la performance. Ha disfrutado de una profunda y especial relación con la naturaleza que le ha permitido utilizarla como un instrumento de perspectiva en su particular forma de visión del mundo. Los motivos que aparecen tanto en su escultura como de su pintura siempre proceden de la naturaleza o de la cultura entendida como el resultado de la actividad humana, aunque todos ellos tratados desde la consciencia del artista de que en realidad la naturaleza también es artificial al realizarse la visión de la misma a través del filtro del bagaje cultural del que la contempla.
