Week 2: FAIR presented by NADA @newartdealers
⠀
Bradley Davies
The piecemeal with Muammar al-Gaddafi
oil on canvas
90 x 80 cm
2019
⠀
Bradley Davies (b. 1990) is currently based in Cologne where he is working as one of the Kölnischer Kunstverein’s resident artists. Davies’ works employ known materials and approaches from a long painterly tradition, such as oil on linen and figuration, which are re-contextualized and combined with a sharp wit and sense of humor. Exiting the restrictions of the canvas Davies ventures to different media using found objects, sculptures, site-specific projects and sound in his practice. The artist was lately featured as part of a duo show at Clages, while his work has been shown a.o. at the Neuer Essener Kunstverein, Temporary Gallery in Cologne, Lenbachhaus in Munich and the MMK in Frankfurt.

Claus Richter is a conceptual sculptor, filmmaker,
performer and writer living and working in Cologne. He works at the intersection between fantasy and reality, illusion and being, imagination and knowledge. He is particularly interested in the artificial worlds of the entertainment industry, such as theme parks and film sets, which illustrate
the desire for a world “larger than life” and present the audience with an „enchanted” reality. His works represent the aesthetics of mass entertainment, as brash as they are enticing, but at the same time the
illusion mechanisms of this entertainment industry are presented and analysed. His work is currently shown at Kunstmuseum Basel @kunstmuseumbasel and Kunsthalle Nürnberg with Cosima von Bonin.⠀

Paradise Libraries: Episode 1
Olivier Foulon | Sara MacKillop | Daniel Maier-Reimer | Anne Pöhlmann | Frances Scholz | Christian Theiß | Bernhard Walter
Opening: Wednesday, 20 May, 1-6pm (until 10 June 2020) -
Taking its cue from the concept and the history of the Archive, Paradise Libraries is a project that will develop over two episodes, including both new bodies of work, as well as pieces from the gallery’s archives. The episodes will attempt to reconfigure the gallery’s program as it has been shaped throughout the last 10 years and will incorporate works by all the represented artists. The title of the project relates to a quote by Jorge Luis Borges that reads as follows: “I have always imagined that paradise will be a kind of library”. The pieces exhibited will occupy the gallery’s spaces in their entirety, following largely the idea of individual and independent artist rooms that will evolve throughout the front exhibition space, office space and the two back exhibition spaces that span over two floors. The project will not fall into a fixed curated frame of reference, but will instead attempt to reimage the gallery’s program as a whole from the inside, focusing on the artist’s own perspective and point of view. The duration of each episode will span five weeks and the endeavor will end with the end of the summer of 2020.
The current note reads as an open letter by an anonymous culture worker and shall therefore remain unsigned. #clages #clagesgallery #contemporaryart (image; courtesy of Frances Scholz and Clages, Cologne 2020)

Claus Richter 🙌 🌈
⠀
„Wie soll das aussehen? Wer will das schaffen? Gewünscht wird ein Erinnerungsort, der nicht nur als Mahnmal dient, sondern der aktiven Erinnerung. Er soll keineswegs nur auf die Nazizeit begrenzt bezogen werden, sich auf Schwule beziehen, auch auf Lesben und Trans*Gruppen. Diskriminierung und Verfolgung einzelner Gruppen soll nicht isoliert betrachtet werden. Es soll erklärt und zudem anschaulich werden, warum ein solcher Ort heute notwendig ist. Zudem soll er zum Verweilen, Nachdenken, Gedenken einladen, durchaus animieren, provozieren und Kontroversen auslösen.
⠀
Na prima!
⠀
Claus Richter, der zum städtischen Wettbewerb eingeladen wurde, stellte sich den Anforderungen, Hielt sich sonst an zwei goldene Regeln: „Locker bleiben“ und „bloß nicht alle die Wettbewerbsdetails und Anforderungen Punkt für Punkt abarbeiten“. Richter (* 1971 in Lippstadt) gewann den zweistufigen Wettbewerb gegen die Konkurrenz mit einem Entwurf, der aus seinem Werk herausfällt und auch sonst kaum dem sonst so erwarteten Mahnmalgeschmack entspricht.“

Shila Khatami | To Start A Painting (2019) at Kunstverein am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz, Berlin
⠀
Non-representational painting is not a uniform field of production. Regardless of this, there are regular questions that are formulated in the awareness of their historical, social and institutional framework. In many cases, parameters of current forms become considerations that reflect production and material as well as the location of their presentation. To Start a Painting brings together three of the most interesting positions with Monique van Genderen, Shila Khatami and Ingo Meller. The exhibition was organized by the Kunstverein am Rosa-Luxemburg Platz in Berlin in 2019. For more information see link in bio.

Olivier Foulon | In kurzer Zeit (2016)
⠀
When Olivier Foulon wanted to visit Courbet’s „L’Atelier du peintre“ in Paris he had to realize that the painting was not presented as he expected. Instead of hanging on the wall it was mounted on a construction in the middle of the room facing the floor. Although the painting was physically still accessible and visible during its public restoration, its surface was hidden away and invisible to the viewer. In „In kurzer Zeit“ Foulon created a photographic documentation of this process aswell as other photographic references to Courbet’s painterly practice exploring the boundaries of photographic reproduction, artistic ownership and referentiality. For more Information see link in bio.

Olivier Foulon | Soft Return (2019)
⠀
In 2019 Olivier Foulon presented his exhibition Soft Return at Clages. The title picks up on his previous project titled Hard Return that ran at Temporary Gallery in Cologne the year before. A newspaper distributed to all mailboxes in a city in the west of Germany alerted the population of the reflux of drugs in local drinking water which may or may not be linked to the American airforce base nearby. Alongside the pamphlet Foulon printed out Cady Noland's seminal essay "Towards a Metalanguage of
Evil". Reflected in the current climate on a global scale Soft Return reads as more relevant than ever. Find more information via link in bio.

Claus Richter & Cosima von Bonin | THING 1 & THING 2
Cosima von Bonin and Claus Richter share their ability to create poetic parallel worlds. Allusions to the world of consumption and entertainment can be found, as well as differentiated references to the emotional, social and subversive function of kitsch and the grotesque. Von Bonin and Richter, the two close friends, were invited to develop an exhibition together for the freshly renovated rooms of the Kunsthalle Nürnberg. A joint invitation seemed logical, as collaboration is part of the overall working principle of both artists. The artists' diverse protagonists repeatedly serve as representatives of human emotions, fears and conflicts. Like Claus Richter, Cosima von Bonin manages the balancing act between subtle humour and melancholy, lethargy and curiosity, accessibility and closure, and escapism and spectacle. You can find impression of the show online(Link in bio)

Second Hand Emotion | Bradley Davies & Jasmin Werner 🦟
⠀
Second Hand Emotion explores the dynamics of an artist-duo working and living together. The hidden poetics of the land, an idealized version of life on the countryside that follows the myths of a silent power, underlying nostalgic structures are encoded in images, systemic structures and collective knowledge. Working with the ambivalences of nature and machine, as well as the idyllic portrait of a haunted past that keeps peaking out from behind the fragile curtain of civility, Bradley Davies and Jasmin Werner create and an open dialogue about the themes and politics of nostalgia.

Second Hand Emotion | Bradley Davies & Jasmin Werner 🦇
⠀
>>From now on Clages will give you regular updates on current projects and gems of our archive starting with our current show by Bradley Davies and Jasmin Werner>>
⠀
Encompassing a range of media and materials the project constists of painting, sculptures, installations and drawings. Davies moves within the medium of painting employing known materials and approaches from a long painterly tradition, such as oil on linen and figuration, which are combined with a sharp wit encoded in the heritage of conceptualism. Werner‘s practice incorporates sculptures, collages on latex and installations with a distinct research-based logic, whilst alluding to the rituals and knowledge-production of pre-modern societies.

Publication // Limbo is a traditional game that originated in Trinidad. The basic concept of the game is to walk or dance under a pole of some sort without falling. Music usually is played in the background, but it is optional. In Catholic theology, Limbo (Latin limbus, edge or boundary, referring to the edge of Hell) is a postulated viewpoint concerning the afterlife condition. This digital publication takes its cues from the concept of Limbo both ways, both a dance routine, as well as a theological construct, and confronts the practice of artists Frances Scholz, Bradley Davies, Claus Richter and Oliver Husain. Table of contents included: Hell on earth. The new spirit of capitalism / Networks and the portrait of an idiot / Let’s do the Limbo / Dancing with the Devil / Updos and queering Singapore’s hair culture / Episodes of Starlite by Frances Scholz

Welcome digital visitors! The museum is temporarily closed. Hence, we bring works from our exhibitions and collection to where you are. We will announce a more detailed digital program next week.
Today, “Omnia peribunt” by Claus Richter, which is part of the exhibition CIRCULAR FLOW. ON THE ECONOMY OF INEQUALITY. In the mid-sixteenth century, tulips came via Constantinople to Vienna and from there to the Netherlands. At first, they were popular only among scholars and aristocrats; educated and wealthy citizens soon followed suit. Initially, tulips were swapped between connoisseurs, but not traded in any big way. In European gardening, the tulip’s arrival marked the beginning of the so-called oriental period, during which growing numbers of private gardens were created and plants like lilies and hyacinths were cultivated. Dutch growers hugely increased the range of varieties, thus also creating greater optical diversity. The commercial tulip trade began to emerge towards the end of the sixteenth century, leading to ever-increasing speculation with bulbs. Tulips could be bought and sold on futures exchanges, at auctions, at growers’ spot markets, and via certified futures options. Further refinement of strains in the 1630s triggered exorbitant price increases. In December 1636, for example, the price per pound for Switserts tulip bulbs rose from 125 to 1,500 gilders in just two weeks.
This phase, in which tulips became a kind of financial product on which broad sections of the Dutch population were now feverishly betting, is referred to as “tulip mania.” In 1637, the prices then collapsed so abruptly that tulip mania is often described in economic history as an early form, if not the first example, of a speculative bubble. The crisis not only bankrupted many private individuals, but also did considerable damage to the Dutch economy as a whole. Whether the spherical product that is traded, fought over, and hysterically desired in Claus Richter’s installation is tulip bulbs, or whether it is an abstract reflection on the essence of economic cycles, is a question that remains open.
