I SEE RED/ Interventions. 

An improvisation event by PETER PLEYER and MICHIEL KEUPER with ANDREA KEIZ and other Guests

DOCK11 - Fri 11 / Sat 12 / Sun 13 at 19h.

Peter Pleyer will be ranting (hence I SEE RED) about the state of performing art in general and the Berlin status quo in particular with his mix of improvised movement, readings and monologues. Michiel Keuper will come up with visual interventions of the spacial and bodily kind. Andrea Keiz will contribute with video and moving images. Susanne Martin, Zen Jefferson and other guests will join on one or some of the evenings.

We'd love to see you on one or more of these nights!

Open structure. Each night a different line up. Come pass by. Watch. Engage. Hang out.

The Temporary Fashion Museum / Article Spiegel.de, September 2016

HET NIEUWE INSTITUUT/Daniela Dostálková

The exhibition The Temporary Fashion Museum at Het Nieuwe Instituut / HNI Rotterdam, for which I created an installation, made it in the German press. 

From the article:
[English] "The unusual transformation of the whole museum follows the path of the product from the designer to the user and puts the user perspective into focus. The house celebrates the eternal creative renewal power of fashion and writes simultaneously - often casually, sometimes deliberately speculative, sometimes clearly evaluated - their history anew."

[German:] "Die ungewöhnliche Umwandlung des ganzen Museums verfolgt den Weg des Produktes vom Designer zum User und stellt dessen Perspektive in den Fokus. Das Haus zelebriert kreativ die ewige Erneuerungskraft der Mode und schreibt gleichzeitig - oft nebenbei, bisweilen bewusst spekulativ, bisweilen sauber evaluiert - deren Geschichte neu."

Kinetics / Ilona Kálnoky - 'aROUNDme'

Intriguing installation consisting of 5 rotating mirrors. In a way deceptively simple and at the same time compelling. The kind of installation so ingenuous and therefore the more surprising in its effect that it makes you wonder why nobody came up with this idea before. Or even: 'I could have thought of this...'. But then... I didn't.

In that regard it reminded me of some of the installations of Olafur Eliasson, who by the way was also a participant in this group show at Galerie Niels Borg Jensen.  

The exhibition 'Space Invasion' showed works of artists who work around the concept of 'space' as well as 'body in space'. As the gallery is exclusively dedicated to print making and sets out for contemporary artists "to work with print media", most of the works exhibited were prints. As such, the Kálnoky installation 'aROUNDme' was an exception to the rule. A beautiful exception.

Other participating artists were Olafur Eliasson as mentioned, William Anastasi, Elmgreen & Dragset, Thomas Demand, Kirsten Everberg, Clay Ketter, Eva Löfdahl and Al Taylor.
