therefore cover new territory.
Artists working in the Ticino in the 1960ies included Ben Nicholson and his wife Felicitas Vogler, Hans Richter, Julius Bissier and Italo Valenti. Jean Arp had a life-long relationship with the area, and Mark Tobey, who lived in Basel, visited his artist friends in Ascona frequently. Classical scholar Karl Kerenyi and composer Wladimir Vogel also lived there. The atelier of paper- and print-maker François Lafranca in Verscio and the studio complex set up by sculptor Remo Rossi in Locarno provided attractive places to work and for the discussion of art, philosophy, literature and music. Through some seventy works and a selection of archival material the exhibition will explore the art and relationships of these artists. |

The Akademie der Künste (Academy of Arts) in Berlin, institution of national importance in Germany,
shows one of its most ambitious exhibitions ever projected. From 20 September to 16 November 2008
the Academy presents “Notation in the arts of the 20th and 21st century” in their both buildings, the new one at the Pariser Platz and the old at the Hanseatenweg.
The subject “notation”, normally related with music scores, will be widened on all structure forms of artistic processes.
The exhibition begins historically with the experimental photographies of Etienne.Jules Marey, the “equivalents” of Alfred Stieglitz and film scores of Oskar Fischinger and develops the relationship of recording, movement and repetition in all kinds of art from Brancusi, Artaud, Moholy-Nagy, Friedrich Kiesler, Mark Tobey and John Cage to contemporary works by Anthony McCall, Allan McCollum, Rodney Graham and Bernd Alois Zimmermann. Organized by our CMT member Heiner Hachmeister, you may see five paintings of Mark Tobey from 1944 to 1971 in this show which goes to the Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie (Center for Art and Media) in Karlsruhe, Germany from 14 February to 26 July 2009. |
