New Materialisms series is a long-term program of exhibitions and lectures that
has been developed in a collaborative process between grey) (area – space for
contemporary and media art from Korčula and HICA (Highlands Institute for
Contemporary Art) from Scotland. This guest exhibition at the Institute for
Contemporary Art in Zagreb is the third exhibition in a row, and it is
conceptualized as the selection of works from the previous two exhibitions that
took place in Korčula and Scotland in 2015, as well as the selection of works
which will be presented in the frame of the upcoming exhibitions in Korčula in
2016.
The exhibition is actually taking place at two locations and marks the tenth
anniversary of grey) (area which been exhibiting contemporary and media art in
Korčula since 2006. Simultaneously with exhibiting Goran Trbuljak's art work in
Zagreb, that same work is being exhibited in Town Museum Korčula as well. It is
a work without a title, and it consists of the hand counter which the author
uses for counting people who (for the first time) have attended his solo
exhibitions since 1970.
New Materialisms project reflects historically divergent art practices and
discursive fields of concrete and conceptual art, as defined in the 1960s.
Project tackles understanding of those art practices through the discourse of
post-media contemporary approaches to art as well as via post-digital condition
of our every day life, whereby digitality is interwoven with each aspect of our
social being. New Materialisms strives to formulate a dialogue among important
authors of concrete and conceptual art and contemporary practitioners who work
within the post-media context, while assuming the design of aesthetical
experience as vital mechanism which has its agency in the process of creating
the physical world.
New Materialisms explores the German philosopher Max Bense’s identification of
the ‘aesthetic condition’, and his proposition that ‘the aesthetic condition is
as material as the physical condition of any observed object’. His analysis
pursued the pattern of ‘programs for the production of aesthetic conditions’,
and was often used as the starting point of the early digital art in the 1960s
and 1970s. In 2015, Vladislav Knežević's art work titled Binary Pitch and
inspired by Bense's information aesthetics was simultaneously presented in
Korčula and Scotland. The work is now being presented in Zagreb. Documentation
related to the infamous clash which occurred between Bense and Joseph Beuys
during one panel discussion in 1970, described as ‘the visibly spectacular
finale to the project of a rational, mathematically oriented aesthetics’, is
also included in the project.
Installation Open Source Vostok by Alexei Blinov, a Russian artist living in
London, reveals the materiality of the planet Earth from the period of 400 000
years ago via a series of hologram shots of ice samples taken from the spot
four kilometre below the surface of the frozen lake Vostok. Blinov's work was
made in collaboration with Arctic and Antarctic Institute from St. Petersburg.
Text Trends by Martin Callanan looks at our perception of words and data when
displayed in graphical form thus studying the spectacularization of
information. The work uses the data about the usage of Google search engine
gathered within a four-year period, while reducing that process to some
essential elements: searched terms vs. frequency of searched over time are
presented in the form of a line graph. Pairs of words such as ‘now and later’,
‘summer and winter’ play out matter-of-factly. The work encourages the
criticism of the process of generating data and prompts the question: what does
data actually represent?
Installation titled Voyager / non-human agent by Špela Petrič and Miha Turšič
uses algorithm and data collected from the instruments from the spacecraft
Voyager, which since 1977 has been travelling across the universe. Existing
space programs focus mainly on understanding the farthest of our surroundings
and on developing technological solutions, but tend to overlook the importance
of implementing artistic development practices and methodologies in the form of
a basic question: what is it like to be a human in space? Voyager/ Non-human
Agent project investigates the possible art forms in outer space, a composite
of art and science, and the processes of science culturalization.
