Through this Bacic examines how we learn to see, look and interpret the world around us. Much of her previous work involved a vigorous examination of the various technologies that have facilitated communication over the centuries. In Outside In/Inside Out she frees her work from complex technology in order to display an image without any editorial control. Each viewer draws upon his or her own experiences in order to interpret what is happening; making this encounter similar yet different to others. The work allows a sense of self and a space for contemplation on the universality of the world outside as we share experiences despite our differences. Anita Bacic will host a special afternoon event where she will be available to take you into the camera obscura Outside In/Inside Out. Refreshments will be provided and the artist will be on hand to talk to the public about her work.

TRESOR - Raum für flüchtige Kunst Liebe Freundinnen und Freunde des "TRESOR", liebe Kunstinteressierte, ganz herzlich möchten wir Sie und Ihre Freunde zu einer audiovisuellen Performance/Installation in den "TRESOR - Raum für flüchtige Kunst" einladen: "mittel-land" Video- und Sound-Performance/Installation Ursula Scherrer (USA/CH) - Video Flo Kaufmann (CH) - Sounds Donnerstag, 24. Juli 2008, 19-22 Uhr (bei individueller Verweildauer) Freitag, 25. Juli 2008, 19-22 Uhr (bei individueller Verweildauer) Weder Anfang noch Ende, nur die Flüchtigkeit des Moments und das Wechselspiel von Licht und Klang bestimmen mittel-land. Als befände man sich inmitten einem der unzähligen dichten Nebeltage am Rande des Schweizer Jura-Südfußes. Alles ist umhüllt, verschwommen, leicht gedämpft in dieser akustisch-visuellen Landschaft, in der Bild und Ton ineinander verfließen. Transparente Stoffbahnen erzeugen ein Projektionslabyrinth, in dem sich Zuschauer und Künstler gleichermaßen bewegen, verweilen und verlieren. Die Klanglandschaften entstehen live auf selbstgebauten modularen Synthesizern. Das Audiosignal wird über spannungsgesteuerte Filter an vier Lautsprecher verteilt. Lichtsensoren in den Leinwänden steuern die Filter an und generieren so, durch die Videobilder, animierte Klangfarben und Lautstärkenunterschiede. Die Musik wird dadurch sehr plastisch, intensiv und verbindet sich mit den sich stetig ändernden Bildern. Mit Hilfe eines analogen Videomixers entsteht die visuelle Stimme. Die Bilder werden in und um den Tresor gesammelt, somit wird der Raum quasi zurück in den Raum projiziert. Kombiniert und konfrontiert werden die Bilder mit Reiseeindrücken der letzten Monate (Mailand, Palermo, Tulsa, Baden, Costa Rica). "mittel-land" schafft einen Raum, wo das Jetzt so stark ist, dass das Gewesene und Kommende keinen Platz findet. Die Performance/ Installation lädt dazu ein, zu verweilen, zu kommen und zu gehen, sich zu bewegen, den Aufenthaltsort zu ändern, dem stetigen Fluss der Bilder und Klänge zu folgen.

Weitere Infos: www.floka.com Zum Hintergrund des Ausstellungsraums: "TRESOR - Raum für flüchtige Kunst" ist ein im Februar 2008 gegründeter nichtkommerzieller Kunst-Projektraum in Stuttgart. Die Stuttgarter Kunstvermittler Winfried Stürzl und Marko Schacher und der in Stuttgart lebende Lichtkünstler Kurt Laurenz Theinert bieten hier den vergänglichen, zeitbasierten, nicht konkret fassbaren Künsten ein eigenes Forum. Seinen Namen bezieht der "Tresor" aus seiner Vergangenheit: Die drei zusammenhängenden, etwa 50 Quadtratmeter großen Räume dienten der Bahndirektion viele Jahre als Tresor- und Kassenraum. Eine dicke Stahltür und ein zwei Meter hoher Safe zeugen noch heute von der ehemaligen Funktion und geben dem fensterlosen Ort seinen besonderen Charme. Mit ihrem Ausstellungskonzept nehmen die drei Kuratoren die ehemalige Funktion zum Ausgangspunkt und verkehren sie in ihr Gegenteil: Anstelle der Lagerung und Sicherung materieller Werte soll im "Tresor" ausschließlich "flüchtige" Kunst präsentiert werden: zeitbasierte installative und performative Formate, die besonders auf das sinnliche Wahrnehmungserlebnis zielen und sich auch in Grenzbereiche der Bildenden Kunst vorwagen. www.kunsttresor.net TRESOR Raum für flüchtige Kunst Kulturdirektion H7, Raum 0.22d Heilbronner Straße 7 D-70174 Stuttgart nach dem Eingang rechts durch die Türe dann den ersten Gang links ungefähr in der Mitte auf der rechten Seite Zug, S-Bahn, U-Bahn, Bus: Haltestelle Hauptbahnhof / Arnulf-Klett-Platz Auch in Zukunft wollen wir Sie gerne über die kommenden Ausstellungen im "Tresor" informieren.

H7 Raumaufzeit GmbH Dear Friends of "TRESOR" and All Those Interested in Art, You and your friends are cordially invited to an audiovisual performance/installation at "TRESOR - Space für Ephemeral Art": "mittel-land" Video and Sound Performance/Installation Ursula Scherrer (USA/CH) - video Flo Kaufmann(CH) - sounds Thursday, 24 July 2008, 7 pm-10 pm (at your leisure) Friday, 25. July 2008, 7-10 pm (at your leisure) Neither beginning nor ending, just the transience of the fleeting moment and the interplay of light and sound informs mittel-land. As if one were in the midst of one of those countless fog-blanketed days on the outliers of the southern Jura in Switzerland. Everything is wrapped up, blurred, rather subdued in this acoustic-visual landscape, in which image and sound deliquesce. Swathes of see- through material create a projection labyrinth in which audience and artist alike move, linger and lose their way. The soundscapes emerge live from homemade modular synthesizers. The audio signal is transmitted via electronic filters to four loudspeakers. Light sensors in the screens activate the filters, thus generating, via video images, tone animation and differences in volume. This makes the music highly sculptural and intense and it is continually being linked to the constantly changing images. The visual voice is created by an analogue video mixer. The pictures are collected in and around the Tresor so that the room is, as it were, projected back into the room. The pictures are combined and confronted with impressions gleaned from trips taken in recent months (to Milan, Palermo, Tulsa, Baden, Costa Rica). mittel-land creates a space in which the here and now is so overwhelmingly powerful that there is no room left for past and future. This performance/installation is an invitation to linger, to come and go, to move about, shift your position to follow the steady flow of images and sounds.

The space is located in the right-hand wing of the former "Bahndirektion" at 7 Heilbronner Strasse, directly across from the north entrance to the Main Train Station. Its name harks back to its past: the three large (some 50 square metres) adjoining rooms were used by the railway operators for many years as a vault and safe- room. A thick steel door and a safe two metres high still attest to its former function, creating a unique ambience in this windowless place. Taking that former function as their starting-point, the three curators are reversing it: instead of storing valuables for safekeeping, Tresor is to be used solely for presenting 'ephemeral' art: short-term installative and performative formats aimed in particular at sensory experience and venturing into borderline zones of the visual arts. The programme includes media, sound and light art as well as works that trigger off gustatory, olfactory or tactile experiences. www.kunsttresor.net TRESOR - Space for Ephemeral Art Kulturdirektion H7, Raum 0.22d Heilbronner Straße 7 D-70174 Stuttgart After the entrance, turn right through the doors then take the first passage to your left Roughly centre right Train, S-Bahn, U-Bahn, bus: Stop Hauptbahnhof / Arnulf-Klett-Platz In future we would like to keep you up to date on forthcoming exhibitions at 'Tresor'.
