Carsten Höller
Doubt / Curated by Vicente Todolí
The exhibition
Pirelli HangarBicocca presents “Doubt”, Carsten Höller’s solo exhibition. The German artist has risen to the fore of the international scene for his penetrating inquiry into the nature of human experience. The exhibition, curated by Vicente Todolí, unfolds along twinned, parallel paths, demanding sensory participation and perceptual focus on part of the viewers. The visitors themselves can choose how to approach the exhibition and which path to take.
In Carsten Höller’s view, choice is inherent to the work of art, and at the very beginning of the exhibition, the installation Y (2003), which is lined with numerous flashing light bulbs and can be walked through in its entirety, raises the question of which way to go. “Doubt” includes more than twenty large-scale works, both existent and new, aligned along the middle axis of the space. This alignment of works forms a central dividing wall, where visitors will see/experience only half of a given work, and have to remember the half they have seen until they encounter the other half on the other side. Large-scale installations, videos and photographs play with the spatial and temporal coordinates of the exhibition venue, charting a course between symmetry, duplication and reversal.
The exhibition layout alternates works that draw on optical experiments – like Upside-Down Goggles (1994 – ongoing), in which the artist invites visitors to see the world bottom-up – with others that are as playful in nature, likeTwo Flying Machines (2015), in which visitors can experience the sensation of flight or Double Carousel (2011), a merry-go-round for adults that gives a sense of euphoria and amazement.
The exhibition also includes Yellow/Orange Double Sphere (2016), a hanging light-based work composed of two concentric, flickering colored spheres, one inside the other, which interacts with Marquee (2015), a piece by Philippe Parreno from the exhibition previously on view at Pirelli HangarBicocca, “Hypothesis”.
Two Roaming Beds (Grey) (2015), presented inside the 500 square meters of Pirelli HangarBicocca’s Cubo, features two beds that drift endlessly through the space and offers the opportunity to spend an entire night inside the exhibition “Doubt”. The twin beds drift across the floor at the almost imperceptible speed; their random movement carries visitors through their slumbers, so that they wake up in a different place from where they fell asleep.
Having originally been trained as a phytopathologist, Carsten Höller (b. 1961 in Brussels, based in Stockholm, Sweden and Biriwa, Ghana) holds a doctorate in agricultural science with a specialization in chemical ecology. In the early 1990s, Höller abandoned his scientific career to devote himself to art. Over the last twenty years he has shown his work in many international art institutions, such as: Hayward Gallery – Southbank Centre, London (2015); Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary, Vienna (2014); New Museum, New York (2011); Hamburger Bahnhof Museum für Gegenwart, Berlin (2011); ICA, Boston (2003); Fondazione Prada, Milan (2000). In 2006, he presented the installation Test Site as part of “The Unilever Series” at Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall. He has also participated in major international art festivals, including four editions of the Venice Biennale (2015, 2009, 2005, 2003).
The exhibition includes several works co-produced with Hayward Gallery – Southbank Centre in London, and relies on the technical support of INELCOM.
The exhibition “Doubt” is accompanied by a catalogue, edited by Vicente Todolí, that includes extensive photographic documentation of the show and a double analysis of the works on view.
Red Bull Curates:
The inaugural Red Bull Canvas Cooler Exhibition in Singapore
Singapore, 6th May 2013 – The European Red Bull gave wings to aspiring student artists during Singapore’s first Red Bull Canvas Cooler exhibition at the Reading Room gallery last night. 28 Red Bull canvas coolers were transformed into functional and unique pieces of art over a month long creative process by 20 student artists and 8 established local artists and all pieces were curated for a one-of-a-kind art exhibition in Singapore for the first time globally. The Red Bull Canvas Cooler project aimed at creating an opportunity for aspiring student artists to interact and learn from industry opinion leaders.
The project was supported by 8 renowned artists and designers in Singapore from various disciplines such as fine art, graphic design and illustration. They are Mark Ong (SBTG), Jeff Koh (Flabslab), Denise Jillian Tan, Little Ong (fFurious), Andy Yang, Samantha Lo (SKL0), Eugene Tan and Eric Foenander (creative head of Butter Factory). These established artists lent their artistic expertise and ideas to 20 aspiring art students who applied to create a functional art piece from a Red Bull cooler that is wrapped in canvas. Each of them acted as mentors to 2 to 3 students, providing guidance and feedback, during a month long creative process.
All 28 of the uniquely designed and functional Red Bull Canvas Coolers will be placed in various bars and clubs around Singapore, including Home Club; Broadcast HQ; Attica and Em by the river, following the close of the exhibition.
About the Red Bull Canvas Cooler Project
The Red Bull Canvas Cooler project has taken several stages in different parts of the world, giving wings to emerging artists as the concept catches on across the globe, most recently touring the US, Italy and Japan with unique formats in each city. For example, The Canvas Cooler project that was hosted in New York City, US in 2012 drew nearly 2,000 art enthusiasts who witnessed the live execution of 30 urban, contemporary as well as street artists expressing their creative flair in full flourish. It is the first time Singapore has been a part of the Red Bull Canvas Cooler project.

(Sigh. You never learn, do you, Andy? Have them tilt the circuit board a little so that it isn't completely blown out by the flash.)
I say this completely without sarcasm or a trace of self-consciousness: I think circuit boards from big old computers are legitimately beautiful. Provenance on this one is uncertain. I believe it's a controller board from a CDC 6600. If it is, it's a historically cool item: the 6600 was designed by Seymore Cray himself and is considered to be possibly the world's first supercomputer.
If not, it was definitely the first influential one. Cray set up something like a "skunk works" operation at Control Data and a small team of a few dozen engineers knocked the whole thing out. It was a revolutionary approach to computing and was several times faster than the next most powerful thing on the market.
So. Yes, I came home with this. I held it in my hands lovingly, appraising its form and lines like a work of art.
Very cool sellers, incidentally: they were big wheels at both DEC and the Computer Museum. I think if I hadn't shown up so early -- this was taken a few minutes before the Flea opened -- I would have missed out completely. They had already sold most of their cool stuff by the time I'd come along.
(When someone at the Flea has core memory for sale...that information does not stay private for very long.)
The board is now sitting on my mantlepiece while I ponder a more permanent location and system of hanging. It might just stay where it is.

My father used to make wall art that was sold through Sears so I always look at what is new in the biz. This is a laminate like picture that has been dabbed with textured paint on the petals. The intention was to give the impression of a painting but the surface is too slick and the added texture insufficient. That being said, it is a nice little picture, simple frame and most important it was CURATED.
Contents inside the vitrine of the project "OBEY. Humillados & ofendidos" [OBEY: Humiliated & Insulted], 2007–2009.
24-hour performance, divided in three uninterrupted eight-hour sessions and in three different time periods. Performance carried out entirely in the interior and on the terraces of the Centro Galego de Arte Contemporánea (CGAC). The audience was invited not to attend.
OBEY encompassed 24 hours of performance using an entire museum building as a huge minimal stage made of granite, wood, and white marble. Three acts, lasting eight continuous hours, took place during three distinct blocks of time throughout the empty galleries, corridors, terraces, and “dead zones” of the Centro Galego de Arte Contemporánea (CGAC) in Santiago de Compostela. The interpreters, the artist, and production team were confined by the architecture for the duration of each act—two of which took place during the dead of the night—and the entirety was documented by video and photographs. No audience was present; moreover, contrasting with the usual welcoming tone of museum communications, the exhibition invitation cards explicitly invited the public not to attend.
In each of the three parts of the performance, interpreters—wearing devices or clothing designed to restrict movement, such as leather harnesses—simultaneously executed choreographed actions and readings, in continuously repeating cycles, alone or in groups of two or three. A further principal performer in a Victorian mourning dress presided over an interconnecting point between three gallery wings, making circuits throughout the building that also determined the direction of the cameras. The performers’ movements corresponded to, among other elements, fragments of plays by Samuel Beckett, video performances by the artist Bruce Nauman, and scores by the dancer-choreographer Yvonne Rainer—each of whom could be characterized by their work’s assertive formalism and austere directness.
The dense three-part temporal and spatial organization of OBEY drew on the mystical and occultist possibilities of the floor plan of the CGAC building, and diagrammatic representations of man’s connection to the cosmos. It also made explicit reference to two works of minimalist art: Nauman’s "Three Dead End Adjacent Tunnels, Not Connected" (1979/1981), a triangular sculpture of three tunnels that lead nowhere, and Dan Graham’s "Triangular Pavilion2 (1997), a pyramidal structure of steel and one-way glass located on the CGAC’s roof terrace.

Exhibition by Joan Morey "COLLAPSE. Desiring machine, working machine", Centre d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona - Fabra i Coats, 20 September 2018–13 January 2019.

—
Since the late 1990s, Joan Morey (Mallorca, 1972) has produced an expansive body of live events, videos, installations, sound and graphic works, that has explored the intersection of theatre, cinema, philosophy, sexuality, and subjectivity. Morey’s work both critiques and embodies one of the most thorny and far-reaching aspects of human consciousness and behaviour – how we relate ourselves to others, as the oppressed or the oppressor. This central preoccupation with the exercise of power and authority seemingly accounts for the black and ominous tenor of his art.
COLLAPSE encompasses three parts. The first is presented over two floors of the Contemporary Art Centre of Barcelona - Fabra i Coats. ‘Desiring machine, Working machine’ is a survey of ten projects from the last fifteen years of the artist’s work. An exhibition display based around vitrines and video screens deployed as if sarcophagi or reliquaries, is presented alongside a continuous programme of audio works and a schedule of live performance extracts.
The second part of COLLAPSE takes place at the Centre d’Art Tecla Sala, L’Hospitalet de Llobregat (23 November 2018–13 January 2019) and is the definitive version of the touring exhibition ‘Social Body’.
Titled ‘Schizophrenic Machine’, the third and final part of the project comprises a major new performance event which will take place on January 10, 2019 at an especially resonant – yet, for the moment, deliberately undisclosed – location in Barcelona, where live action will be integrated within the longer narrative of the site’s physical and discursive past.
COLLAPSE is curated by Latitudes.

Contents inside the vitrine dedicated to the project TOUR DE FORCE, 2017.
Performance structured in a prologue and five acts. The prologue, lasting approximately 90 minutes, was held in the Mirador and the Pati de les Dones at the Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona (CCCB) for a limited audience, by request only, pending selection and subject to a strict dress code. The five acts, which took place inside five limousines, had a restricted audience of 30 people. Each vehicle took a different route to a particular place in the city of Barcelona, which also determined the duration of the performance.
TOUR DE FORCE was a dramatic work addressing the history of HIV/AIDS. Its prologue took place in the Sala Mirador of the Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona (CCCB), whose glass façade overlooks a central courtyard five floors below. Dressed exclusively in black, a preselected audience of 100 people witnessed a performance by an actress with a head-mounted camera and markers attached to her face to enable optical motion capture. This character represented the infective agent itself. The script was based on two texts by Antonin Artaud: the delirious "Les Nouvelles Révélations de l’être" [The New Revelations of Being] (1937) and "Pour en finir avec le jugement de dieu" [To Have Done With The Judgment Of God] (1947) in which the author confronts his utter collapse of health, wellbeing, and physiological and psychological unity. A sub-audience of 30 people then split off and was silently ushered towards five white stretch limousines that had meanwhile manoeuvred into the courtyard below. Lots were drawn to determine by chance which car each audience member should enter. The interior of each limousine became an intimate mobile scenario, presenting one of five disjointed acts, expressing a timeline of HIV/AIDS via five distinct routes through Barcelona before returning to the CCCB.
In act 1, “The Uncertainty”, a team from the Public Health Agency offered the ELISA blood test for detecting HIV antibodies. Act 2, “The Transmission”, involved a dancer exploring touch, movement, and improvisation in a route around Montjuïc hill, a long-established gay cruising area. In act 3, “The Illness”, a narrator in a hospital robe and with an intravenous drip was the protagonist of a journey as far as Montjuïc’s cemetery. The script of act 4, “The Theory”, embodied the commercial aspects of research, both in a scientific and philosophical sense. Act 5, “The Utopian Body”, headed for the Hospital del Mar, which has longplayed a decisive role in the treatment of epidemics, and centred on a ritual reading of the names of every antiretroviral drug that has been cleared for the treatment of HIV in the US since the approval of azidothymidine in 1987.

Exhibition by Joan Morey "COLLAPSE. Desiring machine, working machine", Centre d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona - Fabra i Coats, 20 September 2018–13 January 2019. Photo: Latitudes.
Since the late 1990s, Joan Morey (Mallorca, 1972) has produced an expansive body of live events, videos, installations, sound and graphic works, that has explored the intersection of theatre, cinema, philosophy, sexuality, and subjectivity. Morey’s work both critiques and embodies one of the most thorny and far-reaching aspects of human consciousness and behaviour – how we relate ourselves to others, as the oppressed or the oppressor. This central preoccupation with the exercise of power and authority seemingly accounts for the black and ominous tenor of his art.
COLLAPSE encompasses three parts. The first is presented over two floors of the Contemporary Art Centre of Barcelona - Fabra i Coats. ‘Desiring machine, Working machine’ is a survey of ten projects from the last fifteen years of the artist’s work. An exhibition display based around vitrines and video screens deployed as if sarcophagi or reliquaries, is presented alongside a continuous programme of audio works and a schedule of live performance extracts.
The second part of COLLAPSE takes place at the Centre d’Art Tecla Sala, L’Hospitalet de Llobregat (23 November 2018–13 January 2019) and is the definitive version of the touring exhibition ‘Social Body’.
Titled ‘Schizophrenic Machine’, the third and final part of the project comprises a major new performance event which will take place on January 10, 2019 at an especially resonant – yet, for the moment, deliberately undisclosed – location in Barcelona, where live action will be integrated within the longer narrative of the site’s physical and discursive past.
COLLAPSE is curated by Latitudes.

This neo-classical gravestone is located in the graveyard of St. Etchen’s church at Killucan, County Westmeath and carried the inscription:
SACRED
To the memory
of
THE REVD HENRY FERRIS
CURATE
of the Parish of Killucan
who departed this life
April 20th 1848
Aged 45
I am the Resurrection and
the life he that believeth in
me though he were dead
yet shall he live.
.
The biblical quotation is from John 11:25 and taken from the St. James’ version of the Bible.
The Reverend Henry Ferris (c.1802-1848) was ordained as a Church of Ireland clergyman about 1827 and served his first ministry as a curate within the Diocese of Kildare. He had been appointed curate for the Parish of Killucan in 1847 but contracted typhus from visiting parishioners and in April 1848 died from the disease.
Typhus had always been endemic amongst the poorer classes throughout Ireland but it was those from middle and upper classes, such as clergymen and doctors that had regular exposure to typhus who were more susceptible to becoming infected and suffered much higher mortality rates from ‘the fever’. A typhus epidemic raged throughout Ireland from 1846 to 1849 amongst the poorer populations, exasperated by the effects of the Great Famine (1845-1849). Back then typhus was generally known as the fever, jail fever or workhouse fever and it was not until 1928 that it was confirmed the disease was spread by the human body louse.
Recent research by Sunand Tryambak Joshi (b.1958) has established Henry Ferris as the author of stories and essays on the supernatural which were published in the Dublin University Magazine from 1839 onwards. Ferris’ works were never published in book form and were written under the pseudonym of Irys Herfner, an anagram based on his own name. The writings of Henry Ferris were heavily influenced by his travels through Germany and German folklore.
A selection of works by ‘Irys Herfner’ are;
The high cross by Bonn, a story of the Rhine (1839)
German ghosts and Ghost-seers (1841)
A leaf from the Berlin Chronicles (1843)
A few more words about mesmerism (1844)
A night with Mephistopheles (1845)
On the Nightmare (1845)
Fireside Horrors for Christmas (1847)
A night in a haunted house (1848)
A night in the Bell Inn (1850) (a posthumous publication or by a different author?).
Another tragic twist was that less than four months after Henry’s death, his wife gave birth to their daughter on the 4th August 1848 in Killucan.

Performance by Joan Morey, "LLETANIA APÒRIMA" [APORIC LITANY] (2009). Reenactment by Jordi Vall-lamora programmed within the framework of the exhibition "COLLAPSE. Desiring machine, working machine", Centre d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona - Fabra i Coats, 11 October 2018. Photo: Noemi Jariod. Courtesy the artist.
Each of the six programmed performance reenactments is extracted from its original context as studies or scenes from earlier projects and given an independent life. These live-action fragments encompass ritualistic exercises following the artist’s rules, tableaux vivants, and dramatic orations based on texts by the artist or by playwrights such as Samuel Beckett. Whenever possible the performances maintain their original interpreters, yet inevitably they are reinforced or degraded through their repetition, adding another layer to the artist’s exploration of control.
LLETANIA APÒRIMA
[APORIC LITANY] 2009
This performance has its origins in a dramatised reading of the English text "APORIC LITANY. To Die—Waiting (in) the Limits of Truth" (2009), carried out without interruption by an actor in a recording studioand without an audience. Fragments of the text were performed in Catalan and included in the project "CRIES AND WHISPERS: Conversations with Radicals" (2009). The performance presented here can be considered a premiere, as it uses the full text of the original performance, in Catalan. APORIC LITANY was originally presented in 2009 as a pre-recorded spokenword work in English (included in full in the audio programme of the present exhibition), and excerpts of it in Catalan were also read live as part of the final part of "CRIES & WHISPERS" that same year. The second word in its title derives from aporia, a philosophical notion of dynamic uncertainty. In common use, the word litany has also come to signify a long list of failures, complaints, or disasters. The litany addressed to a deity conventionally takes the form of a series of set
invocations recited by a priest, which alternate with the invariable responses of the congregation. Yet, here, the rhythmic and rhetorical expressions that have been scripted by the artist leave no semantic room for reply, and piety has been infused
with profanity.
This dramatised, repetitive oration—at moments marked by obedience, anguish, apostasy, regret, abuse, and provocation—is delivered in Catalan by an inscrutable priest-courtier character. Because the format of the litany has been folded in on itself (believers are neither being addressed nor obediently responding), the effect of the voice is more akin to a conflicted interior monologue that stutters and recurrently ties itself into the same knot of compulsions and desires.
