PRESS DOCUMENTATION Displaced Fractures – Über die Bruchlinien von Architekturen und ihren Körpern Phyllida Barlow – Tacita Dean – Emilie Ding – Klara Lidén – Ulrich Rückriem – Kilian Rüthemann – Oscar Tuazon – Klaus Winichner 11th December 2010 – 20th February 2011 Initiated by the migros museum für gegenwartskunst in collaboration with the Siemens Stiftung Press conference: Friday, 10th December 2010, 11.30am Opening: Friday, 10th December 2010, 6pm Initiated by the migros museum für gegenwartskunst in collaboration with the Siemens Stiftung: Displaced Fractures – Über die Bruchlinien von Architekturen und ihren Körpern th th 11 December 2010 – 20 February 2011 th Press conference: Friday, 10 December 2010, 11.30am th Opening: Friday, 10 December 2010, 6pm Phyllida Barlow – Tacita Dean – Emilie Ding – Klara Lidén – Ulrich Rückriem – Kilian Rüthemann – Oscar Tuazon – Klaus Winichner Art has always been the sensorium of the fragile, brittle and porous of the human. In this group exhibition, however, human fracture lines are not treated directly in terms of the human body, but instead by using architecture as a surrogate. The fractures and interfaces of buildings form metaphors for the breaks in human existence. The term “Displaced Fractures” derives from the medical world, and describes a phenomenon whereby bone fractures reveal themselves in other places than the major stress site. The term “displacement” is also used in psychology. In the new spaces of the migros museum für gegenwartskunst, installations, spatial interventions and sculptures working with the displacement of symptoms are given prominence. What dominates here is the area of tension between the refusal of form and monumental creations, between subjective and formal, rational gestures. In an analogy to the notion of “Displaced Fractures,” projection surfaces are rendered on the building which, in spite of its stability, is subject to temporality, and an opening up to questions of its existential orientation and existence. Through such actions on this alleged fixedness, the discourse on sculpture demonstrates the precariousness of the present and makes it palpable. In works exhibited by artists such as Klaus Winicher or Phyllida Barlow, the formless, already posited by Rosalind Krauss and Yves Alain Bois as a synonym for that which is repressed, is elaborated upon in material and form. As the work of Oscar Tuazon and Kilian Rüthemann shows, it is not alienation that is thematized here, but instead the impossibility of bringing the modulations of the building’s fracture lines and the unruly ability to live to expression. Lifeless material becomes a metaphor for the body, as Klara Lidén’s work shows, whether in cautious construction or spontaneous collapse. The works exhibit the structures of the architectonic exactly like personal traces. They are precise attitudes in which the formal culmination materializes, as Emilie Ding’s concrete support structures or Ulrich Rückriem’s stone cuboids testify. The dynamic application of colors and the use of free forms make these subjective interventions particularly distinctive. They bear witness to the presence of the human and ultimately, through free and defiant handling, signify the vulnerability of the present and of memory. Exhibition curators: Heike Munder (migros museum für gegenwartskunst), Thomas D. Trummer (Siemens Stiftung). In the field of Culture the global acting Siemens Stiftung wishes to accompany and help impart the social changes registered by art and culture. The challenges of the present have been thematized by the leitmotif “Shifting Societies”; an art that depicts time-determined problems, damage and mental states renders our contemporary living environment and existential problems manifest and tangible. siemens-stiftung.org Exhibition catalogue A catalogue will be published for the exhibition by JRP|Ringier in February 2011, with contributions by Holger Birkholz, Karsten Harries, Heike Munder and Thomas D.

In her works, raw materials pile up into dense clusters of forms. In part bundled into dwellings, they persistently display an elementary physical presence, and for a long period have not only supported the smooth aesthetic of minimalism but have stood in precise opposition to the polished and popular aesthetic of a Jeff Coons or Haim Steinbach prevalent in the 1980s. Tacita Dean Palast 2004 Film (16mm, color, sound) 10:30 min. Courtesy of the artist, Frith Street Gallery, London and Marian Goodman Gallery, New York/ Paris Tacita Dean (born 1965, UK), former student of Phyllida Barlow at the Slade School of Fine Arts in London, works primarily in the media of film and sound. She is particularly interested in the connection between the elapsing of time and its narration, and the expectations incorporated within it. The film Palast (2004) is amongst her most famous works, and was shown at the Venice Biennial in 2005. It is a portrait of the Berlin Palast der Republik before its demolition. Heavy protests were held in front of the DDR showcase building before it was torn down. The steel and glass building was to be replaced by a reconstruction of a much older Berlin palace that once stood on the same site. Instead of the evaluation of cultural history as political symbol through a loud demonstration piece, Dean here puts forward a silent elegy. The insight – filmed with slow and thoughtful camera direction – reveals gold-colored light play, shadows and strange coloring. Emilie Ding Erased 2010 Concrete, steel Dimensions variable Courtesy of the artist and Evergreene, Geneva Exhibition view: Salle Crosnier, Palais de l’Athénée, Geneva The sculptural works of Emilie Ding (born 1981, Switzerland) chafe at the discourse of American minimalism. On the exhibition floor, Ding places distinct form elements that always signify use-properties. They are pieces of concrete, which – angulated and with steel bolts attached – appear like hinges, support elements or modular components used in architecture. The arrangement of the blocks creates a debate with the formal discourses. The reference to minimalism is also reflected in the concept of seriality, whereby Ding’s sculptures are treated as unique objects with barely any visible imperfections. Klara Lidén Position 0310 2010 4- channel- video projection (color, sound, music by Tvillingarna) Lenght variable Courtesy of the artist and Galerie Neu, Berlin The functions and failures of urban spaces form central themes in the works by Klara Lidén (born 1979, Sweden). She makes installations from found materials such as cardboard, torn-off poster paper or used furniture. The compositions are akin to historic décollages and speak a language of revolt against material and the environment. Likewise, in her video works she engages public space through what appear to be odd de-placed bodily activities when, for instance, she dances in a subway train or performs a “Moonwalk” on the streets of New York. Irritation and rebellion against all the regulations of public life are constant characteristics here. In her video work Position 0310 (2010) the artist clamps herself to public appliances such as gas pipes and advertising pillars, and like a petrified animal, remains almost invisible to the pulsating traffic. Ulrich Rückriem Ohne Titel (Bodenarbeit) 1994 Austrian granite 45 x 200 x 385 cm Courtesy of the artist and Galerie Tschudi, Glarus Photo: FBM-Studio, Zurich Ulrich Rückriem (born 1938, Germany) numbers among the most important German sculptors of the Post-war period. Hand crafted precision and a distinctive plastic consciousness determine his works, which are imbued with monumentalism and formalism. He takes ideas and procedural methods from American Minimal and Conceptual Art but nonetheless creates an independent work. Enclosed stone blocks are sawed into or drilled into to make memory and historicity sculpturally legible by dint of hairline cracks, cut edges and fracture lines. For Rückriem the work process and the concept preceding it always remain central to the work. Kilian Rüthemann Untitled 2009 Concrete, 12 elements 120 x 17 x 15 cm Courtesy of the artist and RaebervonStenglin, Zurich Photo: David Aebi Kilian Rüthemann Untitled 2009 Foam 130 × 230 × 108 cm Courtesy of the artist and RaebervonStenglin, Zurich Exhibition View: Double Rich, Istituto Svizzero di Roma Photo: Davide Francescini, Kilian Rüthemann Kilian Rüthemann (born 1979, Switzerland) subtly confronts the architectonic properties of the exhibition location in his works. The aesthetic of his works is determined by the exposing of structures and a search for the unstable and fragile in the seemingly fixed. In the attempt to elicit the unseen poetry from the spaces he works with, he at times uses brute means – for instance when he pours out an additional concrete floor on a stairway, making the entry considerably less convenient. Oscar Tuazon I want to put something inside my body and carry something in it. I want to get inside my body and get carried in it, I’d like to get buried in it, put my head in it and get in it, I’m not scared of it 2010 Welded steel, clamps, canvas, plastic tubing, water 30 x 487 x 213 cm Courtesy of the artist and Maccarone, New York Photo: Eric Egerton Oscar Tuazon I use my body for something, I use it to make something, I make something with my body, whatever that is. I make something and I pay for it and I get paid for it 2010 Concrete, rebar, mesh Dimension variable Courtesy of the artist and Maccarone, New York Photo: Eric Egerton The interests of Oscar Tuazon (born 1978, USA) range from the relation of tension between architecture and nature, displayed in the disintegration of the public space, to the extreme conditions of almost untamable nature. The essence of this confrontation is conveyed by a reduced architectonic language in the exhibition space, for which he uses simple building materials. At the same time he shows a great interest in a formal language in connection with hard and soft elements. In the architectonic conditions of the exhibition spaces, Tuazon makes a second inner structure grow, making the two architectonic levels vie with one another: that of the inner, which nestles in, and that of the outer, which covers. Klaus Winichner Science Fiction 2009 Concrete, plaster, book 70 x 50 x 30 cm Courtesy of the artist and Galerie Sandra Bürgel, Berlin Central to the work of Klaus Winichner (born 1967, Germany) is the debate on the human portrait in terms of sculptural discourse. He approaches his theme through various media such as sculpture, painting and drawing, to which he frequently adds industrial construction materials or construction waste. The portraits are created not just through illustrations but also through fragmentary architectures that represent the human. They are abstract assemblages put together by the artist from mattresses, books, flower troughs and materials that are seemingly amorphous. These often space-filling sculptural form-conglomerates, give an impression of the coincidental remains of human existence. The Displaced Fractures exhibition is an initiative of the Siemens Stiftung and the migros museum für gegenwartskunst In the field of culture the global acting Siemens Stiftung wishes to accompany and help impart the social changes registered by art and culture. Challenges of the modern era are tackled under the motto “Shifting Societies”. A diagnosis of our own era and an analysis of current modes of existence are both indispensable prerequisites for this. Art that reveals the sensitivities, issues and damage incurred in today’s world enables us to grasp the way that we live, and the existential problems that confront us. The Displaced Fractures exhibition develops the notion of shifting, of displaced symptoms. The act of shifting is involuntary, as a means of acting out at a different location, as an attempt to arrest injury by evasion, substitution and sublimation. The meaning of the ego and of existence is made visible through tension and inner conflicts. The project shows current artistic positions from all around the world, including Ulrich Rückriem, long considered one of the key post-war sculptors. In all the works, material and its treatment are in the foreground, for the way we approach determining our existence and approach society is revealed by proxy through solid objects and their fragility. Lifeless material turns into a metaphor for the body. The Siemens Stiftung has been fortunate in establishing a partnership with the migros museum für gegenwartskunst for this joint project. Curated by Heike Munder (migros museum für gegenwartskunst) and Thomas D. Trummer (Siemens Stiftung), the exhibition is presented in the new premises of “Hubertus Exhibitions” in the Albisrieden district of Zurich. Contact: Siemens Stiftung Thomas D.
