Fillip: One More on Publicness

July 14th, 2010

Once More on Publicness

Fillip is pleased to announce the immediate online availability of Once More on Publicness: A Postscript to Secret Publicity by Sven Lütticken — the first in a series of essays on art and publicness, which thematizes the majority of texts in Fillip 12. Developed in conjunction with the commission of a site-specific project by Dutch artist Mark Manders, Fillip 12 weighs publicness against a range of topics including New Institutionalism; affect, critique, and the city; riot shows; public art; digital scans and exports; and the photographic legacy of Hurricane Katrina, among other considerations.


Leading up to the print release of Fillip 12, scheduled for September 2010, essays will appear on the Fillip website every week for the next two months as a way to build an open dialogue around the interaction between art and its publics. Links to these texts will be sent out every Monday through this e-mail list. To opt out of these messages, please let us know. Letters of response may be sent to letters@fillip.ca.

Saturday Sun

July 13th, 2010

Dana Gentile, “Waterfall” 2009, photo collage, 12×12 inches

Aisling Hamrogue / Chris Domenick / Dana Gentile / Emily Klass
Erin Jane Nelson / Jessica Williams / Lauren Maresca / Mara Baldwin
Zack Genin / Alana Celii / Grant Willing / Jessica Olm

Curated by Karen Codd

Capricious Space is pleased to announce Saturday Sun, a group exhibition of new photography and works on paper by twelve emerging artists. Opening July 14th, works are on view through August 21, 2010. A reception will take place on Wednesday, July 14th from 6 – 8pm.

Released in 1969, when British musician Nick Drake was about twenty-one years old, the song “Saturday Sun” (Five Leaves Left LP) speaks of a brief reprieve from melancholy – sunshine that appears without warning, disappears just as quickly as it came, and leaves behind memories indelible and recurring, however positively or negatively distorted from reality they may be. The artworks shown provide analogous visual instances of a warm reprieve from an ordinary trajectory of thinking or living – some real and some manufactured – all transporting nonetheless.

Wolfgang Tillmans at The Serpentine Gallery

July 11th, 2010

Wolfgang Tillmans at The Serpentine Gallery, London
26 June—19 September 2010

The Serpentine Gallery presents Wolfgang Tillmans’ first major exhibition in London since 2003. Conceived by the artist for the Serpentine Gallery, the exhibition will present figurative and abstract work from the last ten years.

Over the past 20 years, Tillmans has redefined photography and the way it is presented. Known in the early 1990s for his seemingly casual images of the world he inhabited, his work reassessed photographic conventions and reflected the culture and identity politics of the time, capturing the fragility of human life and focusing on everyday objects. His work has always engaged with portraiture, landscape, and still life, but more recently Tillmans has turned to a deeper exploration of abstraction, and has pushed the boundaries and definitions of the photographic form.

The wide-ranging themes in Tillmans’ photographs are recon- figured with each site-specific installation. In this new exhibition, explorations into abstraction sit alongside a renewed focus on the figurative – a focus that is increasingly informed by recent colour-saturated works and experi- ments with process. Referring to his approach to installation, Tillmans has commented that in creating these ‘constellations of pictures, I try to approximate the way I see the world, not in a linear order but as a multitude of parallel experiences. Multiple singularities, simultaneously accessible as they share the same space or room’.

Tillmans continually challenges photographic practice by playing with exhibition methods, often pinning or taping his work to gallery walls, building study tables that resemble museological vitrines, or creating wall-based cases for selected works. Each exhibition is a renegotiation and rearrangement of material, ideas and subjects. For each installation, he investigates the process of exhibition and image-making, intuitively reflecting the politics of our shared contemporary society. Tillmans’ images capture the essence of a moment, and the pictures and installations that the artist has created over the last two decades are an alchemical blend of detachment and engagement.

The Serpentine Gallery exhibition reflects the artist’s acute sensitivity to the world around him, his ongoing fascination with colour, and his conceptual engagement with the technical processes of photography. His delicate yet challenging images capture the distinctive energetic balance between beauty and subversion that Tillmans has long embraced.

Tillmans was born in 1968 in Remscheid, Germany. In 1995, his work was exhibited in the Serpentine Gallery exhibition Take Me (I’m Yours), curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist, and in 2000 he won the Turner Prize. His most recent solo exhibitions include Freedom from the Known at P.S.1, New York in 2006 (which toured North America), and Lighter at the Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin in 2008. In 2009 he was included in Making Worlds at the 53rd Venice Biennale. Tillmans lives and works in London.
