graphics. Additionally to these elements, he shows also an installation
in the dirt-chamber behind the Gallery with objects, documents and
photographs, created under the climatic influence of a deserted space.

objects, wry wit and written instructions that invite people to interact
with his sculptures, Erwin Wurm makes spectators into active
participants and encourages them to poke fun at the paradoxes of
contemporary society.

穆可凡个展 Solo Exhibition by Mu Kefan at the Todays Art Museum, building 3, Beijing 时间:11月19日-11月29日 地点:三号馆一层 Duration: 19th – 29th November Venue: 1st floor exhibition hall of building 3 当穆可凡面对画布时,他总希望穿过表象追寻本源,并始终要求自己保 持清醒的状态,因为这会持续地给工作以动力。在穆可凡的作品中,对 象总是处于一种特殊的状态之中——他们似乎处于、但又超脱于日常的 生活状态,并不是我们所熟悉的物理性的忠实再现。本次展览即将给我 们呈现的,就是我们面前镜子里隐藏着的那些肖像.
When facing the canvas, Mu Kefan always hopes to find the “source” through “appearances”, and demands of himself a clear mind which can provide energy for his continuous work. In Mu Kefan’s works, the objects are always in a special situation——a situation within and beyond normal life——not the re-appearance of the physical world. What will be presented in this exhibition are the figures hidden behind the mirror.

Anni art and ASAP invite you to an exceptional exhibition of Austrian Artists and their works produced in China.
Austria is in China and China is in Austria
Fifteen
Austrian artists show their works in China for the first time. This
exhibition is exceptional because all works have been created by the
artists during their stay in China. These works are personal
explorations drafted in an individual artistic language which
negotiates between the grammars of the East and the West. The
exhibition offers an inside view of 15 Austrian artists: Lukas Birk,
Karel Dudesek, Sylvia Eckermann, Kerstin von Gabein, Nikolaus
Gansterer, G.R.A.M., Michael Hoepfner, Ulrike Johannsen, Ronald
Kodritsch, Jasmin Ladenhaufen, Ralo Mayer, Matthias Meinharter, Gerald
Nestler, Rainer Prohaska and Kamen Stoyanov, how their perception is
inspired and translated into artistic methods, to project a different
view on place, form and content. Fifteen Austrian artists lived in
China, became accommodated to habits and rituals. Fifteen artists
from the other side of the world traveled east and sat down at table
with the locals and tasted their food, which is so different from any
Chinese restaurant food in Austria. Fifteen artists made friends and
knitted relations which were supposed to last as long as possible. The
artists are the first ones who live and work in the global space. Now
China is in Austria and Austria is in China. We are one world, one
nation, with different languages and rituals but similar desires.
Fifteen Austrian artists with their diverse talents came to China to
make use of their imagination and to interact.
They interacted
with traditional painters, visited and interviewed local artists,
composed songs with musicians, reflected the media
society, constructed their own vehicles to explore one of the biggest
cities in the world, put up banners to manifest their irritation,
worked with Chinese fashion designers and tailors to create new
fashion, painted pictures, painted their faces, photographed the fast
changing unknown, did research while walking trough cities and across
China with their own individual methods, paid massive cab bills,
visited wild markets and savoured the unknown smell of the oriental
world and returned to Austria with the wish to come back to be able to
continue their work in China. What they shared was one common thought:
That there had not been enough time available – time actually needed to
accomplish their work.
We cordially invite you to the opening afternoon Saturday the 7th of November 4-7pm. The exhibition is open daily from 11am – 6pm, till 26. November 2009
Press on ASAPPosted by editor1 Fri, November 13, 2009 16:48:59 APA0134 5 KI 0354 Sa, 07.Nov 2009 Kunst/Ausstellung/China/Österreich/Steiermark Österreichische zeitgenössische Kunst in Peking und Tokyo gezeigt Utl.: 15 Künstler in Peking mit Alltagsreflexionen - Druckgrafik-Ausstellung folgt in Tokio = Peking/Wien (APA) - "Wir repräsentieren eine hier unterbelichtete Kulturszene und setzen den mit Stipendiaten des Artists-in-Residence-Programms eröffneten Dialog fort", erklärte Kurator Karel Dudesek im Vorfeld der heute, Samstag, in Peking eröffneten österreichischen Gemeinschaftsausstellung "Mifan" ("Reis"). 15 österreichische Künstler zeigen in der Anniart Gallery im Dashanzi Kulturdistrikt bis 26. November die Ergebnisse ihrer - bis jetzt noch nie in China gezeigten - Ergebnisse ihrer China-Aufenthalte. Eine intensive Auseinandersetzung mit dem Gastgeberland China ist allen Arbeiten der bisher größten Schau zeitgenössischer österreichischer Kunst in China gemein, viele der insgesamt 97 Werke basieren auf Alltagserfahrungen. Das Grazer Duo G.R.A.M. (Martin Behr/ Günther Holler-Schuster) etwa zeigt fotodokumentarisch die Rezeption ihrer Maskierung als Figuren der Sichuan-Oper, Niklolaus Gansterer und Matthias Meinharter widmen sich der kreativen Seite des in Dafen (Shenzen) weit verbreiteten Kopierens von westlicher Kunst und Jasmin Ladenhaufen nimmt sich des Kopierthemas am Beispiel eines im MUMOK als Replika entstandenen Kleidungsstücks an, das rund um die Welt weiter bearbeitet und jeweils von Models präsentiert wurde. Rainer Prochaska war mit einer Fahrradrikscha in Peking unterwegs, die er in Reaktion auf die Umwelt zu einer lebenden Collage erweiterte. Die meisten der 15 Künstler - neben den Erwähnten Lukas Birk, Karel Dudesek, Sylvia Eckermann, Kerstin von Gabain, Ulrike Johannsen, Ronald Kodritsch, Michael Hopfner, Ralo Mayer, Gerald Nestler und Kamen Stoyanov - waren Stipendiaten von einem der drei österreichischen Artists-in-Residence-Programme in Peking, Nanjing und Chengdu. Organisiert wurde die Schau vom Austro Sino Arts Program (ASAP), finanziert wurde sie aus Bundesmitteln, die laut ASAP-Co-Gründer Dudesek aber so gekürzt wurden, dass sich die bei der Vernissage anwesenden Künstler ihre Anreise selbst zahlen mussten. Ebenfalls vertreten sind G.R.A.M. bei einer weiteren Ausstellung in Fernost, die ab 22. November im Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum anlässlich der 50. Jahresausstellung der Japan Print Society einen Österreich-Schwerpunkt an Druckgrafik bringt. Mit dabei sind auch Werke von Roland Böck, Wolfgang Buchta, Armin Guerino, Michael Hedwig, Udo Klapf, Andreas Leikauf, Manabe Anton, Sabine Luger, Thomas Nemec, Michael Schneider, Martin Schnur, Eric Neunteufel, Konrad Planegger, David Smyth und André E. Steinhausen. (Schluss) wp/ww APA0134 2009-11-07/13:47 071347 Nov 09
