Two exhibitions
De Vleeshal, Middelburg
Using records obtained from the vocal improvisation by Michiko Hirayama, Dario D'Aronco creates a track conceived at first as in a dialogue with Hirayama herself, and then transformed in the exhibition as a live performance. The forth edition of 'Published by' are presented by MER. Paper Kunsthalle, an independent publishing house looking into the book medium as a place for exibiting art.

From September 29 until October 20
Curated by Lorenzo Benedetti
(eidolon) 3 illustrations for voice is an installation by Dario D’Aronco which, starting from the work of the composer Giacinto Scelsi, avails itself of the collaboration with Michiko Hirayama, performer on which Scelsi shaped his music for voice. During the opening Hirayama will perform live interacting with the installation in De Vleeshal.
Using records obtained from the vocal improvisation by Hirayama, D’Aronco creates a track conceived at first as in a dialogue with Hirayama herself, and then transformed in the exhibition as a live performance.
Through the figure of Michiko Hirayama the artist recalls the thoughts that distinguished the entire work of Scelsi, as it was for most of the composers and artists of its age, right after the Second World War: they intended art as a mean to create a “new world” and as an augmentation of a human being by the use of technology.
A thought that became more radical by bringing the Form to a zero grade, obtained with the consistent use of technology, on one hand, and with the research of an ancestral shape, on the other, which anticipate the meaning intended as a description.

Michiko Hirayama
Born in Tokio in 1923, where she graduated in Vocal Arts, she moved to Europe in the fifties, spreading the tradition of Japanese singing. Thanks to the special relationships with many artists, especially with Giacinto Scelsi (I Canti del Capricorno), she was very important for the development of the Avant-guard of the second post war period, because of her path and research in the field of improvisation.
A publication with a text by Lorenzo Benedetti is realized by Cura and will be documenting the project.
The exhibition is made in collaboration with Fondazione Volume and Fondazione Scelsi in Rome, and supported by the Istituto di Cultura Italiano of Amsterdam.

from September 29 until December 15
Books, catalogs and publications are increasingly important elements to spread art. The Published By exhibitions show that publications and exhibitions in practice are very close together. The Netherlands play a central role in this area.
After Roma Publication, Castillo Corrales and Åbäke the forth edition of “Published by” will be presented by MER. Paper Kunsthalle, an independent publishing house looking into the book medium as a place for exibiting art. At the same time it functions as a platform with and for different initiatives that are concerned with publishing. MER. is an initiative of Studio Luc Derycke.
MER. Paper Kunsthalle foundation was established in 2005 in order to examine the possibilities and position of books as places to exhibit art. Since their incipience, art books often developed as rigid catalogues or aide-mémoires. They were seldom considered as genuine spaces to exhibit living art. However, from Dada onwards artists have always thought of books as exhibiting spaces. One of MER. Paper Kunsthalle’s main focus therefore is to provide this exhibiting space to artists by creating an institutional platform that publishes art books in a different fashion. MER. calls itself a Paper Kunsthalle; because it initiates, develops and supports art exhibiting within the medium book.
