Marianne Vierø: Arrangements of beautiful Resemblance

Marianne Vierø works with photography and installation, which she employs partly as an inseparable entity, partly as strictly separate media. The objects that she photographs are usually unspectacular and everyday. It is only in the context in which they are presented – or from which they are taken – that a shift takes place in the viewer’s perspective, so visualising specific structures inherent to these things, making them ‘remarkable’, and assigning them a new status.

For “Arrangements of Beautiful Resemblance”, Vierø built a wall in the studio using red bricks; subsequently she photographed it, then tore it down and built it up again – in such a way that the mortar joints between the bricks created a different structure. The wall was photographed from various perspectives, torn down, rebuilt, and so on. Vierø has now arranged the twelve photographs resulting from the repetition of this process so that the large-format prints themselves create a kind of structure, and - as a result of the perspective shifts documented in the photographs – take on an almost sculptural character within the installation.
Marianne Vierø works skilfully to interlock two artistic media and different dimensions, so revealing exciting new perceptual approaches to the viewer.

Marianne Viero holds a fellowship from the BERLINAUT-Programme of the Danish Royal Embassy within the context of our International Studio Programme.

Marianne Viero – Arrangements of Beautiful Resemblance, 7th – 23rd December 2007, Studio 2

Serhat Köksal aka 2/5 BZ: NO Pipeline NO Exotic

Serhat Köksal has continued to develop his multimedia project 2/5 BZ, initiated in Istanbul in 1986, up until the present day, expressing himself in a wide range of media forms. Besides audiovisual performances like “NO Touristik NO Exotic”, which have been shown internationally, Serhat Köksal has produced an uncountable number of tapes, CDs, video-collages, performances, stickers and Copy-Zines.
In his project “NO Pipeline NO Exotic”, Serhat Köksal aka 2/5 BZ illuminates the common cultural clichés between Orient and Occident in a critical and humorous way, investigating their effects on people’s economic or political situation and individual states of mind. He employs collage and cut-up techniques, found film material, outdoor shots and samples. The project concentrates on concepts such as “cultural pipeline” and “energy dialogue”, presenting them with Soundart and “Planetcore” visuals.
At the opening of the exhibition, which includes a video installation and collage-wallpapers, Serhat Köksal will present his new CD/DVD “NO Exotic” within the context of an improvised live performance in collaboration with sound artist Nicolas Wiese.
