Begleitmaterial zur gleichnamigen Ausstellung vom 16.02.-14.04.2018.
In The Presence of Absence oder The Catastrophe Theory präsentieren Künstler aus Albanien, Griechenland, der Türkei und Zypern sowie ein britischer Künstler türkisch-zypriotischer Herkunft Videos, Fotografien und Installationen, welche die poetische Kraft des Besonderen in unserem Verständnis des Universellen vermitteln. Die Werke dieser zehn Künstler vereinen sich in a kollektiven Untersuchung von Landschaft und Erinnerung, Amnesie und Nationalismus, Identität und Widerstand, Fragmentierung und Verdrängung, Entfremdung und Sehnsucht nach Orten die möglicherweise nicht wirklich existieren.

I wanted to show how cars appear in typical street view, which is rarely the subject of photographs. Cars are usually avoided in photography - one waits until a car has exited a view. The ordinary presence of cars is rarely worthy of representation. It's always the special car, or the extreme traffic jam or, of course, the exciting crash that is being pictured. The Cars pays tribute to the shapes and forms we look at every day. How much time we spend with them, sitting inside them, the endless hours we stare at a dashboard. Even if we don't own a car ourselves, their presence is unavoidable. Cars are everywhere. Their sheer number is the most crazy thing about them. They appear in our lives with excessive omnipresence. In their volume cars intrude upon public space, and the way they occupy streets and open areas is rarely challenged.

2004 winner of I.D. Magazine's Design Distinction award, Absence is the third book to come out of Printed Matter’s Publishing Program for Emerging Artists, a program made possible through the generous support of New York City's Department of Cultural Affairs, The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, the Elizabeth Firestone Graham Foundation, and the Heyday Foundation. The generosity of Whitney trustees Melva Bucksbaum and Raymond J. Learsy was instrumental to the Museum’s participation in the publication of this exciting new work.
Both a book and a sculptural object, Absence is a memorial to the twin towers of the World Trade Center. Yoon, an architect and designer who is currently an Assistant Professor of Architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, chose not to produce a traditional design proposal for the World Trade Center Memorial Competition. Instead she created a non-architectural, non site-specific space of remembrance: a portable personal memorial in the form of book.
At almost two pounds, Absence has a considerable physical presence, but it is in every way the ghost of a presence, and it is this ghostliness that gives it its particular emotional weight. A solid white block of thick stock cardboard pages, the book’s only "text" consists of one pinhole and two identical squares die-cut into each of its one-hundred-and-twenty pages – one for each story of the towers including the antenna mast. These removed elements lead the reader floor by floor through the missing buildings towards the final page where the footprint of the entire site of the World Trade Center is die-cut into a delicate lattice of absent structures.
Of all of the proposed monuments and grand designs for the twin towers to emerge in the last two years, Absence is remarkable for its employment of an under-used strategy: restraint. The simplicity of Yoon’s materials and her use of repetition speak, without words, about unspeakable loss. Quiet, respectful, mournful, the book does not aim to represent the magnitude of the disaster. Instead it appeals to the vastness of the reader’s imagination and capacity to grieve. The human scale of her memorial operates on a personal level – it delivers the memory of lives lost into the reader’s hands. At the same time, as a scale model of a vanished architectural site, it operates on a larger cultural level by commemorating the site itself.

Au printemps 1998, bénéficiant d'un petit bureau au James Joyce Centre de Dublin, j'ai photocopié la plupart des couvertures et quelques pages intérieures, des traductions mondiales d'Ulysse. Vitement réalisées et à des fins documentaires, ces photocopies sont parcourues de bruits (déplacement du livre, agrandissement aléatoire, présence furtive de la main, rayures, etc) comme autant d'ornements ajoutés à la polyphonie de l'œuvre. Enfin, ce projet s'accompagne aujourd'hui d'une réflexion insoupçonnable à l'époque : le traitement fait aux livres dans le cadre de leur numérisation sauvage.

As a possible – perhaps – reaction to all those who love the comfort and permanence of the status of their position, I have gathered a series of unusual chairs, personas that are characterised by a sensitive nervous system. I believe their creators foresaw for the visitor not to forget and become complacent while seated, as would someone when sitting on any chair and shortly thereafter forgetting the very action of sitting. The visitor is called upon to reflect on the condition that the chair’s form presents them with. I would not argue that they are pleasant or comfortable to sit on, seeing as their construction does not allow the sitter to acquaint himself immediately. Note that the chair’s presence is not always obvious but it is implied, as for example in Mario Carbone’s photograph Donna in Osteria 1956. Different in style, they all meet in this exhibition to converse.

Curios to see the man who had lived in silence and solitude for almost three decades, I went to B.R. Hills seeking Swamiji. I felt his silence flowering into benign look with a beaming face, as though the Heaven was smiling on me ! In his silent presence, questions that had troubled me for twentyfive years poured forth spontaneously. These are the funadmental questions of life and those who grapple with them will have no need to ask any further questions. The answers not only satisfied me, but also inspired the idea to publish the questions and answers for the benefit of all seekers.

”Hhhh Minne, off you go, she’s coming! The deadline is in 5 minuties. If the Mayonnage hears that I’m only just starting. Woah my heart is catching fire. Close the curtain, yes.“ As the mayonnage approaches, the excitement grows. Without ever taking on a tangible form, her presence in Verena Buttmann‘s audio piece „Die Schlantz, die Kured, die Kon” (The Slutch, The Khored, The Quee) lies above everyday events. The mayonnage is many things: the object of fear, the last salvation, the state of oppression, the bridge to a remote world or a dreamlike projection. On her record, the artist Verena Buttmann creates a social cosmos between theatre-like staging and private space. A dialogical poem and a scenic piece of music reveal a narrative that follows a peculiar temporal dimension and linguistic logic. Verena Buttmann takes language to the edge of meaning, where its musical quality unfolds. The publication contains a 7‘ inch vinyl record, a brochure with the original text in German and the English translation, as well as a download link.

I was born in the Basque Country in 1978. This land has been inhabited since prehistoric times by the Basques. This continuous presence is explained by the context of the landscape, collected by the mountains and bathed by the Cantabric Sea, that has served as a shelter to a rooted culture and popular customs that are still alive in the 21st century.
Here, nature, history and legend come together with unusual force and create a land of myths and magic that I explore through photography. A land where nature is praised in old rites learned from our ancestors.
These intangible concepts are the beginning point to create a visual imaginary which serves me to understand the society and the land I live in, positioning myself in my environment through photography. Trees, waves, animals and black skies build a symbolic world that I turn into a channel to reach the soul of the Basques, an old soul, the soul of the one who pursues its lost paradise.
Galerna is a tribute to the original identity of this land.

Print on Demand technology allows to make a book without the intermediation of a publisher, setting autonomously size, amount of pages and price. Blank on Demand is an experiment that aims to probe the limits imposed by this production process. The two volumes constituting the project are produced through the self-publishing platform Lulu.com. The volumes’ formats correspond respectively to the maximum and minimum dimensions currently available for the print. similarly, page amount and price are set according to the limit values allowed by the platform. The two volumes are completely blank, except for the presence of the ISBN code. The experiment investigates the influence of the current technological context on the materiality of the book object.
