That’s me. Photographic Self-Images

March 11 to 8 May 2011

One of the most provocative areas of contemporary art comprises artists fathoming their own and other people’s boundaries by depicting their own bodies, sometimes making bodies, them unrecognisable or even resorting to self- - mutilation. In the exhibition ‘That’s Photographic Self-Images’, about 100 outstanding works by for instance Cindy Sherman, Valie Export, Elke Krystufek, Aino Kannisto, Jürgen Klauke and Rudolf Schwarzkogler demonstrate just how intensively today’s artists keep redefining and reshaping their own redefining image in a wide stream of facets.

Artists portraying themselves and questioning their own role as well as their subtle views and blunt obsessions with the body and photography between concept and performance are some of the memorable leitmotifs of this fascinating yet partly also disturbing exhibition. Irony and ambivalence along with the exploration of the artist’s own world of expression in poses of social exclusion and the unfamiliar staged in front of the camera highlight the very different ways in which modern artists have sought and found new forms of expressing and depicting themselves since the 1960s.

Whereas a large assortment of 26 works by American Cindy Sherman assembled from various series produced in the 1970s and 1980s and which can already be described as classics stems from the famous Belgian Vanmoerkerke Collection the other exquisite section of the Collection, exhibition featuring works by international artists from the 1960s to the present day belongs to the acclaimed Bielefeld Teutloff Photo + Video Collection.

The show is augmented by a group of sensitive, sometimes even comical self-portraits by young Finnish artist Aino Kannisto.

The catalogue featuring colour photographs of all the exhibits will be available when the exhibition opens.

Things are Queer
Highlights of UniCredit Art Collection

Comprising more than 60, 000 works of art, the UniCredit Art Collection is one of the largest corporate collections in Europe. Under the title ‘Things are Queer’, from 12 March 2011 Marta Herford will be providing a fascinating glimpse of some of the masterpieces in this gigantic collection for the fi rst time ever in Germany.

From a beguiling 1525 Renaissance painting by Dosso Dossi and an enigmatic still life by Giorgio de Chirico through works by Fernand Léger, Giorgio Morandi and Yves Klein to current productions by Candida Höfer, Haim Steinbach, Erwin Wurm and Gerhard Richter, a magnificent panorama of artistic questions to the world is unfurled in the museum’s spacious galleries. Subdivided into individual thematic areas highlighting the interaction between mankind and the surrounding world of things, the exhibition presents manifestations of nature, the urban environment and everyday life as well as phenomena between order and chaos, between imagination and harsh reality seen through the eyes of painters, photographers, illustrators and video artists along with curious and remarkable objects of complex experience, turning the museum into a place of discovery, questions and the altered gaze.

The catalogue featuring colour photographs of all the exhibits will be available when the exhibition opens.

Vent'anni di UnDo.Net, un'opera d'arte ideata da artisti che hanno coinvolto centinaia di altri autori e operatori nella costruzione di un ecosistema, di un dispositivo che ha influito a più livelli sul fare arte.
UnDo.Net è un dispositivo di creazione di valore immateriale; pensato come "ecosistema" della cultura contemporanea, come modello partecipativo che sviluppi la condivisione di ricerche, risorse e conoscenze, la collaborazione e lo scambio.
In questi 20 anni UnDo.Net ha perseguito il suo scopo: inventare un nuovo spazio, che prima non esisteva, di sperimentazione e di ricerca, di confronto e di dialogo.


Oggi

I risultati di questo lavoro collettivo sono riuniti nelle migliaia di pagine online che raccolgono la storia di tutti noi che ci occupiamo d'arte. UnDo.Net è oggi un archivio vivo e vibrante dal profilo internazionale che contiene e collega tra loro approfondimenti e documenti su autori, eventi, situazioni, ricerche e pensiero. Un patrimonio di risorse per studiare, comprendere e per sviluppare nuovi progetti.
Anche in futuro UnDo.Net rimarra' consultabile e a disposizione di tutti gratuitamente.


Domani

Le differenti personalita' che costituiscono il team di UnDo.Net svilupperanno le proprie diverse professionalita'.
