Cover Story – January 2017: How open are open calls?

 Wed, Jan 4 2017

The January 2017 Monthly Cover Story is now up on www.lttds.org – after January it will be archived here.  

"The first issue of frieze of 2017 includes “Salon Selectives”, an article by Latitudes’s Max Andrews that, with a wink to sassy 1980s hair care, asks “how open are open calls?”. The text is accompanied by this astonishing drawing from the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art by Felicien Myrbach-Rheinfeld entitled Candidates for Admission to the Paris Salon (c.1900)."

Participants in the symposium "You're such a curator!" at de Appel Arts Centre, Amsterdam, 23–24 November 2016 and Amsterdam Art Weekend

Latitudes participated in de Appel Arts Centre two-day symposium "You are such a curator!" on 23 and 24 November 2016. Coinciding with the Amsterdam Art Weekend, the event presented lectures, discussions, performances and papers marking the conclusion of a three-year research project into the dynamics of de Appel’s curatorial programme and its position in the wider field of curatorial education.

Latitudes' presention "Following the Holy Greyhound" reflected "on the disinterment of a sculpture from 1991 – part of an exhibition by the Venezuelan artist José Antonio Hernández-Díez curated by Latitudes at MACBA, Barcelona, earlier this year – and their approach to a group exhibition in preparation for CAPC Musée d’art contemporain de Bordeaux in 2017. Their point of departure was responding to the question "what does the wrongful killing of a dog in medieval France have to tell us about the micro and the macro, the hyper-specific and the universal?"

The two-day symposium included contributions by Mira Asriningtyas, Lucrezia Calabrò Visconti, Renata Cervetto, Mateo Chacon-Pino, Galerie (Adriano Wilfert Jensen and Simon Asencio), Natasha Hoare, Kati Ilves, Prem Krishnamurthy, Inga Lace, Latitudes (Max Andrews and Mariana Cánepa Luna), Shona Mei Findlay, Fadwa Naamna, Kim Nguyen, Emma Ines Panza, Aneta Rostkowska and Kuba Woynarowski, Chris Sharp, Niels Van Tomme and Huib Haye van der Werf.
  
We also visited a few exhibitions and attended a few events  programmed for the Art Amsterdam Weekend (24–27 November). One of the highlights was Marinus Boezem's exhibition at Oude Kerk's grand Gothic architecture, one of its finest and oldest examples in Holland. Boezem's pieces resonated with the Gothic style of the church, an architecture that has fascinated him throughout this artistic practice – he has produced several pieces using plans of cathedrals, his most famous one being "Gothic Growing Project" (1978–1987), popularly known as "The Green Cathedral" in a polder landscape near Almere, composed of 178 Italian poplars.
 
"Progetto Spaziale" (1970/2016) video works, and "Meteorieten" (2016) on the floor.

And of course Friday is the big day at the Rijksakademie OPEN 2016, where we found interesting presentations by Argentinian performance artist Mercedes Azpilicueta; the Argentinian-Dutch Aimée Zito Lema; the abstracted images of Claudia Martínez Garay (below); the sculptural and archival material of British artist Alex Farrar around his suit; the glass work of German artist Christine Moldrickx; the drawings, paintings and small sculptures of Dutch artist Eva Spierenburg; the sculptural works by the also Dutch artist Marije Gertenbach and the large video work "Band Rumorose" by French artist Pauline Curnier Jardin on the Sicilian festivity devoted to San Sebastiano.

The beautiful retrospective "Machine Spectacle" by Swiss artist Jean Tinguely was cleverly paired with Jordan Wolfson's "Manic / Love" – part 1 of his first solo show in a Dutch institution. The show premieres his newest animatronic in Europe: "Colored sculpture" (2016) and is accompanied by three other works only: the video "Raspberry poser" (2012), a series of large inkjet prints and "The Crisis" (2004), one of his earliest video works. In February a second part (Truth / Love) will follow with his first animatronic (Female Figure, 2014) and a new videoinstallation.

Cover Story – December 2016: Ten years ago – Land, Art: A Cultural Ecology Handbook

 Mon, Dec 5 2016

The December Monthly Cover Story is now up on www.lttds.org – after this month it will be archived here. 

"The publication Land, Art: A Cultural Ecology Handbook is ten years old. Commissioned by the Arts & Ecology programme of The Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures & Commerce (RSA), in partnership with Arts Council England, this book was one of Latitudes’s first projects. Through the inspirational contributions of people as varied as Lucy Lippard, Stephanie Smith, Amy Balkin, or the late Wangari Maathai – to mention just a few – the compendium charted the twin legacies of Land Art and the environmental movement while proposing how the critical acuity of art might remain relevant in the face of the dramatic ecological consequences of human activity. The research and reflection involved set Latitudes on a course that led to several further projects engaging with ecology, explicitly or otherwise." Continue reading...

Mariana Cánepa Luna reviews Ana Jotta’s “Abans que me n’oblidi (Before I forget)” exhibition in art-agenda

Ana Jotta’s “Abans que me n’oblidi (Before I forget)”
PROJECTESD, Barcelona
September 30–November 26, 2016
 
by Mariana Cánepa Luna

"While it has been widely exhibited in her native Portugal, Ana Jotta’s work hasn’t been presented in depth to the Barcelona public since the early 1990s.(1) So this mini-survey of her production from 1980 to the present, framed as part of the Barcelona Gallery Weekend, is overdue. “Abans que me n’oblidi (Before I forget)” begins (or ends) at the intermediary patio space that one crosses before entering the main exhibition space at ProjecteSD. Part of a curved wall is covered with irregular patches of light gray and pale pink paint, as if emulating swatch tests for a redecoration. This playful gesture sets the tone for the exhibition inside, a somber and subtle palette of delicate intonations and provisional arrangements."

Actividades programadas durante la exposición "El misterio de caviria" de Antoni Hervàs en La Capella

 Mon, Nov 7 2016
Photos: Pep Herrero / La Capella.

 Hasta el próximo domingo 13 de noviembre 2016 tenéis oportunidad de visitar la exposición individual "El Misterio de Caviria" de Antoni Hervàs en La Capella. 

En paralelo a la exposicón, se han organizado una serie de actividades que han activado la exposición, la primera de las cuales tuvo lugar el 18 de septiembre en el antiguo local de fiestas Copacabana (actual aparcamiento del Department de Cultura de la Generalitat en La Rambla) cuando Juan de la Cruz el Rosillo, interpretó un emocionante repertorio de canciones acompañado por sus ya famosas castañuelas de cerámica.


Fotos: Latitudes.





A continuación el público se desplazó unos metros hasta el Frontón Colón donde Gerard López, el campeón de España masculino senior de gimnasia rítmica, realizó una coreografía llevando un maillot diseñado para la ocasión por Hervàs – actualmente expuesto en La Capella. El Copacabana fue el primer local de espectáculos de travestismo en la ciudad condal tras la Guerra Civil. Uno de sus números más populares era cuando la travesti Margarita (ahora encarnada en el premiado gimnasta), disfrazada con un traje de volantes hechos con papel de periódico, invitaba a los espectadores a que le prendieran fuego provocando su danza frenética. López interpretó una sinuosa versión de la danza de los siete velos compuesta por Norman Bambi  para esta ocasión, en la que los movimientos gráciles y seductores del atleta, encubren la poderosa y agresiva disciplina que requiere la gimnasia rítmica permitiéndole reavivar las cenizas del extinto local.
Fotos: Latitudes.







El 27 de octubre, en una velada organizada en colaboración con el cineasta Eduardo Gión (director de "Lentejuelas de sangre" (2012) y del espectáculo mensual "El Desplume!" en el Antic Teatre), se proyectaron en La Capella cinco cortos inéditos en Super-8 realizados por el legendario Pierrot (el actor, dibujante, escritor y showman Antonio Gracia (1942-2011)) pionero del fantaterror y del cine experimental barcelonés.

 El programa incluyó:

+ Miss Drácula (22' 36'')
¿Se siente enjaulado? ¿Embriagado todavía por un amor desdichado? ¿Preferiría desaparecer? Muera tal y como ha deseado toda su puñetera vida. Miss Drácula le complacerá. Vaya a verla cuando quiera, ella le está esperando en su castillo.

+ Lecciones de sexualidad (17')
Pasen y vean: sexo-terror, un delicioso paseo en el cual recrearse y dar rienda suelta a tabúes y perversiones inconfesables.

+ La muñeca (27' 30'')
La sangre de los muertos es semilla de nuevos súbditos de Satán. Un viaje hacia el epicentro del Mal en el que no se conformaron con llamar a sus puertas, sino que arrojaron pedruscos para cerciorarse de que se enteraría.

+ Poseídos (10')
Cuando una está harta de ver levitar a sus hijos y de dejarse la piel al limpiar esa viscosa y supurante espuma verde con la que lo dejan todo perdido, no queda más remedio que tomar asiento y pintarse las uñas mientras se espera la llegada del crucifijo.

+ El diario de Er (6' 50'')
Eredio danza menguante entre las páginas de su diario, en que yace escrito con sangre el apasionado relato de un amor no correspondido. 

Víctor Guerrero.

Finalmente el 3 de noviembre 2016, tuvo un lugar un recorrido antológico por la trajectoria de Víctor Guerrero, showman y diseñador de vestuario, a través del desfile de sus trajes más memorables realizados en los años 70 y hasta la actualidad. El recorrido transformó la instalación de "El misterio de caviria" en un psicodélico desfile feliniano de la mano de los modelos Gabriel, Bruno, Manuel, Yago, Juan David, Víctor y Manel (¡gracias a cada uno de ellos por su complicidad!).

Cover Story – November 2016: Plucking Gilda, synesthetic Toni and dazzling Víctor

 Wed, Nov 2 2016

A new Monthly Cover Story is now on www.lttds.org (after October it will be archived here). "Plucking Gilda, synesthetic Toni and dazzling Víctor" focuses on Antoni Hervàs' exhibition "El Misterio de Caviria" which can be visited at La Capella until November, 13th.   

“During [my first visit to] El desplume, Víctor Guerrero introduced Gilda (Victor also designs the dazzling attire that she wears): “The legend is here!” Soon, a brilliant and powerful whirlwind appeared, stopping time and winning the audience over from the first moment that she stepped on stage. When Gilda reveals her real age in one of her characteristic monologues, the audience is always left dumbfounded – she seems immortal. I realised that I was establishing some synesthetic relations by which I attributed colours to her stories. I started to imagine a scenario in my head: her large eyes open wide as she perceives a steaming stench cast by Draculina...”

Cover Stories' are published on a monthly basis on Latitudes' homepage to highlight past, present or forthcoming projects, research, exhibitions or field trips related to our activities.

In conversation for the exhibition catalogue "Limits to Growth" by Nicholas Mangan (Sternberg Press, 2016)

 Mon, Oct 31 2016
Photos: Latitudes.

After much anticipation, we are elated to see (and touch!) Latitudes' five-part interview with Nicholas Mangan as part of his exhibition catalogue "Nicholas Mangan. Limits to Growth" (Sternberg Press, 2016). The publication is designed by Žiga Testen and includes newly commissioned texts by Ana Teixeira Pinto and Helen Hughes, alongside illustrations of Mangan's work and historical source material.

The five-part interview weaves together a discussion around five of his recent works ‘Nauru, Notes from a Cretaceous World’ (2009), ‘A World Undone’ (2012), ‘Progress in Action’ (2013), ‘Ancient Lights’ (2015) and his newest piece ‘Limits to Growth’ (2016) commissioned for this exhibition survey. Latitudes’ dialogue with Mangan, began around a research trip to Melbourne in 2014 and continued in the form of the public conversation event that took place at the Chisenhale Gallery, London, in 2015, as well as over Skype, email, snail mail and walks.






 
The publication release coincides with Mangan's eponymous exhibition survey which began in July in Melbourne's Monash University Museum of Art and just opened this past weekend in Brisbane's IMA. The show will further tour to Berlin's KW Institute for Contemporary Art in the Summer of 2017.

October Cover Story: "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Gallery"

 Thu, Oct 13 2016

A new Monthly Cover Story is now on www.lttds.org (after October it will be archived here). "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Gallery" reflects on the recent reenactment of the 1972 performance by Robert Llimós, restaged during the four days of the recent Barcelona Gallery Weekend. "Los Corredores" was one of the five context-sensitive interventions curated by Latitudes for the second edition of the event.
 
(...) "During the past few days the Compositions of the Barcelona Gallery Weekend could be found in a subterranean billiards club, an abandoned textiles factory, a masonic-anarchist library, and the stables of the city police. The contribution of Robert Llimós was constantly dashing between these singular venues and the twenty-three participating galleries. Los Corredores (The Runners) was a remake of an action that was originally created in the summer of 1972 as part of the legendary avant-garde art festival known as Los Encuentros de Pamplona (The Pamplona Meetings). Llimós is best known for a long trajectory as a painter and sculptor that began in the sixties within the Nueva Figuración movement, and continues today with his depictions of extraterrestrials, yet this is one of a handful of his striking performative works."

Documentación de la exposición "El Misterio de Caviria" de Antoni Hervàs en La Capella

 Fri, Sep 23 2016
Todas las fotos: Pep Herrero y La Capella/BCN Producció’16.

La exposición "El Misterio de Caviria" de Antoni Hervàs dibuja los escenarios para un espectáculo visual estilo copla-terror donde, siguiendo los rastros de la Barcelona canalla de los años 60–80, colisionan dos mitologías: la del cabaret barcelonés y la Grecia clásica. Una invocación a los Dioses del subsuelo siguiendo la tradición del rito cabirio en el que el fuego, la sangre y la ridiculización de lo masculino son los ingredientes esenciales que permiten conocer una historia local que es a la vez universal. Sigue leyendo...

A finales de enero se presentará una publicación conjuntamente editada por The Flames, el Ajuntament de Barcelona y La Capella que incluirá una entrevista entre el artista y Latitudes, tutores del proyecto, así como documentación fotográfica de la exposición y de las actividades programadas.

La exposición "El misterio de caviria" se puede visitar en La Capella (c/ Hospital 56, 08001 Barcelona) hasta el 13 de noviembre 2016. El proyecto se enmarca dentro de la temporada BCN Producció'16.
