CHRIS KRAUS/ Thursday 6 December/ Visits and Lecture

CHRIS KRAUS

CRITIC/ID/NEW GENRES

Chris Kraus is a writer, editor, filmmaker, professor, curator and critic. In 1997 Kraus wrote the fantastical non-fiction novel I Love Dick, which got Dick Hebdige fired and became an artworld cult classic. SCANDAL!  It is a bizarre and smart tumbling of art criticism as performance or critical theory as prose or fake life as real life or abjection as a weapon. AND GOSSIP.  Like Felix Guattari's heroin dinner parties and Louise Bourgeois telling you  what to wear if you are ever going to make it. Kathy Acker, Nan Goldin, raw feelings of failure and also, also, transcendence.  In the foreward, Eileen Myles wrote "When I Love Dick came into existence, a new kind of female life did, too." and Holland Cotter called Kraus "one of our smartest and most original writers on contemporary art and culture." 

Chris Kraus is the co-editor of Semiotexte.  She is also the author of two books of art criticism, VIDEO GREEN: LOS ANGELES ART AND THE TRIUMPH OF NOTHINGNESS (2004) AND WHERE ART BELONGS (2011) and four novels including the most recent SUMMER OF HATE.  She received the Frank Jewett Mather Award in Art Criticism in 2008, and a Warhol Arts Writing Grant in 2010.  In spring 2012, Kraus co-curated the exhibition "Radical Localism - Art, Media and Culture from Pueblo Nuevo's Mexicali Rose" at Artists Space in New York.  A frequent contributor to Artforum and other magazines, she has taught at European Graduate School, UCSD, SFAI, and Art College Center for Design.


Chris Kraus will do a reading from her latest book Summer of Hate at 7PM, Thursday 6th December at Warner.  Studio visit sign ups will be tomorrow morning at 11AM.

TALA MADANI/ FRIDAY 16 NOVEMBER/ VISITS

PAINTING

Madani’s work is characterised by loose expressive brushwork rendered in a bold,
distinctive palette. Rich in narrative and heavy in irony Madani’s paintings depict darkly
comic mise-en-scénes. Whilst her more abstract large-scale works usually contain a
mass, group or collective, Madani’s more descriptive and intimately scaled paintings,
and painterly video animations, depict uncomfortable scenes in which bald, middleaged
men engage in absurd scenarios that fuse playfulness with violence and perversity. She has also started making animations.
After receiving her MFA from Yale University School of Art in 2006, Madani made her
solo debut in 2007. Recent solo exhibitions include Stedelijk Museum Bureau, Amsterdam
(2011); Manual Man, Pilar Corrias, London (2011). Recent group exhibitions include
He disappeared into complete silence; rereading a single artwork by Louise Bourgeois,
Museum De Hallen, Amsterdam (2011); Speech Matters, Danish Pavilion at the 54th
International Art Exhibition, La Biennale di Venice (2011); The Great New York, P.S. 1
MoMA, New York (2010); 4th Tirana International Contempoary Art Biennial, Tirana
(2009); Greater New Younger than Jesus, New Museum, New York (2009).

ID/NEW GENRES/SCULPTURE

MPA is an exhibitionist following a living art practice. Her solo and collaborative works focus on performance often in combination with photography, film, text, and sculpture. Enriched with ritual, these acts service a political exercise of the body stimulating questions for participation, resistance, and the intimacy between both. Her work has been presented in New York by The Swiss Institute, the Whitney Museum of American Art, Art in General, The Kitchen, Larissa Goldston Gallery, Higher Pictures, and Movement Research; in Chicago at the Museum of Contemporary Art, the School of the Art Institute, and Pilot TV; in London at Yinka Shonibare's Guest Projects, Zendai MoMA in Shanghai, and the Museo de Arte Contemporaneo de Oaxaca in Mexico. Her 2011 solo show “Directing Light onto Fist of Father” at Leo Koenig Inc. in New York, NY was acclaimed in the New York Times by Holland Cotter for “its simple but ingenious, and dynamic, theatricality”. MPA is based in Brooklyn, NY.

MPA will be showing in Gap, Mark, Sever, and Return with Fiona Connor, Mandla Reuter, and Erika Vogt at Human Resources on Thursday 15 November, 7-9PM.

7:00pm: Walead Beshty Lecture in CENTER BAY.

WALEAD BESHTY, Lecture and Studio visits // Monday 05 November

"Walead Beshty's work explores not only the history of photography, but also the way in which photography shapes our understanding of history. He makes this enduring relationship visible by bringing together images of ambiguous places, altering them, and exhibiting them as documentation. Beshty invites the viewer into a surrogate of a place that, though real, by legal definition does not exist. This tenuous link between what is authentic and what is reproduced parallels the medium of photography itself, which captures moments in time that our eyes are trained to believe truly occurred. Beshty's work offers us a chance to experience the sense of uncertainty that this place engenders, lying unsteadily on a line between past and present, fact and fiction, day and night.

Walead Beshty was born in London in 1976 and currently lives in Los Angeles. He received his MFA in 2002 from the Yale University School of Art and his BA from Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, New York, in 1999. He is on the faculty of the Department of Art at CalArts, Valencia, and has served as a visiting lecturer at the University of California, Los Angeles and Irvine. Beshty has had solo exhibitions at P.S. 1/MoMA Contemporary Art Center and Wallspace in New York and at China Art Objects Galleries in Los Angeles. His work was also included in group exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago; the Whitney Museum of American Art and White Columns in New York; and the DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park, Lincoln, Massachusetts."
