SIGN ontvangt Kunstpodium basis van het  Mondriaan Fonds!!!

Posted on | by Sign

Groningen, 11 juli 2022
SIGN ontvangt Kunstpodium basis van het  Mondriaan Fonds!!!
SIGN  ontvangt voor 2 jaar € 220.000, –  dwz € 110.000,- per jaar  van het Mondriaan Fonds voor haar programma van 2023-2024. Het Mondriaan Fonds draagt in 2023 bij aan programma’s van 26 kunstpodia voor hedendaagse beeldende kunst. Deze kunstpodia krijgen de bijdrage voor hun inspirerende programma’s van één tot maximaal drie jaar.
SIGN  doet dit door: een levendig, experimenteel, interdisciplinair podium voor jonge professionele kunstenaars op nationaal niveau te zijn. Met presentaties in allerlei vormen en contexten initieert zij productie van nieuw werk en biedt reflectie middels “reflectanten”.
De verhouding van mens tot zijn omgeving maakt deel uit van het programma; de kunstwerken & kunstenaars zullen zich uiteenzetten met aspecten van de samenleving, de naaste omgeving.  Het communicatieve aspect is deel van het werk.
Zoals interventies in publieke ruimte in niet uit gedefinieerde gebieden, onderwerpen rondom identiteitsvorming en aftasten leefomgeving in verschillende werkelijkheidslagen.
Wat voor waarde en betekenissen krijgt het werk in bepaalde omgevingen, samenhang en relaties (+ digitale wereld)? Onderzoek en experiment resulteren in kwalitatief goede presentaties, waarbij die betekenis ook ten volle ervaren wordt. De kunstenaar is gericht op de verbeelding van de vragen die hij zich stelt.
Naast inhoudelijke raakvlakken laten presentaties diversiteit in benadering zien. Van associatief en poëtisch tot sociaalkritisch en documentair. Binnen 1 project verrijken verschillende benaderingen elkaar.
Per jaar: 9 volwaardige presentaties in SIGN op locatie en openbare ruimte aangevuld met bijpassende activiteiten + 1 presentatie in het buitenland + 1 externe residentie (ca. 30 kunstenaars).

Het Mondriaan Fonds draagt sinds 1994 bij aan programma’s van kunstpodia omdat ze van vitaal belang zijn voor ontwikkeling en zichtbaarheid beeldende kunst. Hoewel soms beperkt in omvang, zijn dit de locaties waar nieuwe tendensen opkomen en de ruimte krijgen; waar verbreding en innovatie zich ontwikkelen. Ze staan daarom aan de basis van het beeldende kunstveld en zijn onmisbaar voor een gezond kunst-ecosysteem. Musea, kunstenaars én het publiek plukken daarvan de vruchten. Een voorwaarde voor cultuursubsidies door het Rijk is dat ontvangers de Fair Practice Code onderschrijven, evenals de Governance Code Cultuur en de Code Diversiteit & Inclusie.

(english) SIGN receives Kunstpodium basis from the  Mondriaan Fund!!!
SIGN receives €220,000 for 2 years  ie €110,000 per year  from the Mondriaan Fund for its program from 2023-2024. In 2023, the Mondriaan Fund will contribute to the programs of 26 art venues for contemporary visual art. These art venues receive the contribution for their inspiring programs of one to a maximum of three years.
SIGN does this by: being a lively, experimental, interdisciplinary stage for young professional artists at a national level. With presentations in all kinds of forms and contexts, she initiates the production of new work and offers reflection through “reflectors”.
The relationship between man and his environment is part of the programme; the artworks & artists will explain themselves with aspects of society, the immediate environment. The communicative aspect is part of the job.
Such as interventions in public space in non-defined areas, topics around identity formation and scanning the living environment in different layers of reality.
What value and meaning does the work acquire in certain environments, coherence and relationships (+ digital world)? Research and experimentation result in high-quality presentations, in which that meaning is fully experienced. The artist focuses on the imagination of the questions he asks himself.
In addition to substantive interfaces, presentations show diversity in approach. From associative and poetic to socially critical and documentary. Within 1 project, different approaches enrich each other.
Per year: 9 full presentations in SIGN on location and in public space, supplemented with matching activities + 1 presentation abroad + 1 external residency (approx. 30 artists).

“WHEREABOUT” next SHOW @SIGN! 7/5-10/6 2022

Posted on | by Sign

 

Whereabout | Wouter Stroet, Bruno Neves, Till Schönwetter, Junghun Kim & Polina Shuvalova
Exhibition: 7 May to 10 June 2022
OPENING: Saturday, May 7 at 5 p.m.

Whereabout presents work by Wouter Stroet, Bruno Neves, Till Schönwetter, Junghun Kim and Polina Shuvalova, whose work involves visualizing real, virtual and mental places. The artists have a similar approach for this. The meaning of the work comes about through (subjective) ‘mapping’, topographic scanning and the use of cartographic methods of real, virtual, mental places.

The work of Wouter Stroet is based on the current housing crisis, activism, the act of occupation and squatting in response, with the newly squatted Groningen building “Het Kraaiennest” at 9 Spilsluizen as a starting point. 3D scans of the building and the stories of the current residents come together in a cinematic collage that is shown in SIGN.

Bruno Neves uses a combination of archaeological-historical topography and ethnographic mapping in Reflecting along Aztec image-making and portrays Tenochtitlan, the last city of the Aztecs. The partly fictional image shows the relationship between man and environment.

Till Schönwetter uses 3D scans, photogrammetry and animation to create a playful personal video game of Groningen as a magical and real environment.

Based on the fascination for houses and dreamy memories, Polina Shuvalova creates an installation to convert fleeting thoughts into physical, virtual spaces. How do you explore spaces that only exist in your own head?

In the installation Geological meditation: ‘Interconnective layers for another perspective’, Junghun Kim draws attention to disappearing ecosystems as a result of our interaction with nature. In this interactive zone with natural objects, sculptures and sounds, you are invited to join the workshops for a collective, more sustainable vision!
Join the workshops of Junghun Kim on:
Sunday 8 May: 15-16 hrs.
Sunday 29 May:15-16 hrs.
Friday 10 June: 16-17 hrs.

Whereabout | Wouter Stroet, Bruno Neves, Till Schönwetter, Junghun Kim & Polina Shuvalova. Tentoonstelling: 7 mei t/m 10 juni 2022 
OPENING: zaterdag 7 mei om 17.00 uur

Whereabout presenteert werk van Wouter Stroet, Bruno Neves, Till Schönwetter, Junghun Kim en Polina Shuvalova, die zich in hun werk bezighouden met het visualiseren van echte, virtuele en mentale plekken. Hiervoor hebben de kunstenaars een overeenkomstige aanpak. De betekenis van het werk komt tot stand door (subjectieve) ‘mapping’, topografisch scannen en het gebruik van cartografische methoden van echte, virtuele, mentale plekken.

Wouter Stroet zijn nieuwe werk is gebaseerd op de huidige wooncrisis, activisme, de daad van bezetting en kraken als reactie, met het nieuw gekraakte Groningse gebouw “Het Kraaiennest” aan de Spilsluizen 9 als uitgangspunt. 3D scans van het pand en de verhalen van de huidige bewoners komen samen in een filmische collage die in Sign wordt vertoond.

Bruno Neves gebruikt in Reflecting along Aztec image-making een combinatie van archeologisch-historische topografie en etnografische ‘mapping’ en brengt Tenochtitlan, de laatste stad van de Azteken in beeld. Het deels fictieve beeld staat voor de relatie mens en omgeving.

Till Schönwetter maakt met 3D scans, fotogrammetrie en animatie een speelse persoonlijke videogame van Groningen als magische en echte omgeving.

Vanuit een fascinatie voor huizen en dromerige herinneringen maakt Polina Shuvalova een installatie om vluchtige gedachtes om te zetten in fysieke, virtuele ruimtes. Hoe onderzoek je ruimtes die alleen nog in je eigen hoofd bestaan?

In de installatie Geological meditation: Interconnective layers for another perspective vraagt Junghun Kim aandacht voor verdwijnende ecosystemen als gevolg van onze omgang met de natuur. In deze interactieve zone met natuurlijke objecten, sculpturen en geluiden wordt je uitgenodigd om mee te doen aan de workshops voor een collectieve, duurzamere visie!
Doe mee aan de workshops van Junghun Kim op:
Zondag 8 mei: 15-16 uur
Zondag 29 mei: 15-16 uur
Vrijdag 10 juni: 16-17 uur
Geef je op voor de workshops via e-mail signnl@gmail.com of bel/Whatsapp: 0623631796 (Marie-Jeanne)

Text about ‘It’s a blast, You’re welcome!” by Vanesa Miteva

Posted on | by Sign

Tekst van Vanesa Evgenieva Miteva over de tentoonstelling It’s a blast. You’re welcome (22-1 / 20-2-2022) met ter plekke gemaakte werken van Yang-ha, Lucie Sahner, Alexandra Subota.

Text by Vanesa Evgenieva Miteva about the exhibition It’s a blast. You’re welcome (22-1 / 20-2-2022) with site specific works by Yang-ha, Lucie Sahner, Alexandra Subota.

The human condition is a constant. It is a constant search to make sense of the intangible unknown; to give meaning where it is plausible to consider there isn’t any meaning at all. Embrace absurdity, choose a god or plot your own death..you know..whatever helps you cope.

It is all your choice which is also fucking absurd. I don’t want to choose. That is absolute freedom. I don’t want absolute freedom. Absolute freedom makes me anxious. We are so fucking anxious all the time. Because of all these constant choices. All these constant questions.

What job do you want to invest all your life into?

                                       Something I really enjoy doing, regardless of prestige and money.

Fuck the money. I might die at any given moment.                                                                                                                                                                                                                I should live life to the fullest.

I think I want to travel the world for a living.

                                                                        But we are in the middle of a global pandemic.

Although now it is only endemic.

                                    Damn, the situation between Ukraine and Russia is really escalating.

I feel so far away from the danger yet so close.

                                        Yea whatever, my rent is increasing and the price of cigarettes too.

Maybe I should invest in crypto and then I will be able to travel the world and explore all those different cultures.

                                                                                   But I think I need a booster shot for that.

What about OnlyFans though, I think that might work…

                                        But wait, what happened with the protests in Kazakhstan in the end?

And in the midst of all of this, I am burdened with the fundamental task of finding who I am.

Certainly, the individual yet collective human condition is a phenomenon that is dependent on the external environment which society resides in, and thereby we consequently define in the process. Contemporary events play a large part in defining our existential dread, however the residue of the past irretrievably leaves a sticky mark on our individual subconscious which seems to intrinsically get passed from generation to generation.

With that being said, I propose to you, the reader, to look at the exhibition “It’s a blast, you are welcome!”, as a catalogue that offers you three visually astounding samples of what one’s human condition can look like in texture, colour, size, shape, sound, memories, sceneries and concepts. You can browse the catalogue. I guess you can also buy your favourite piece of human condition? Right?! Actually don’t quote me on that, please! Just ask Marie Jeanne.

But yea, anyways, first on the catalogue we have Alexandra Subota who mocks the banality of our lives through the profoundly ironic juxtaposition of over-the-top extravaganza neon colours or artificial fluff with the obviously stiff and restraining quotidian. You can have as much pleasure and fun in the Existential Vacation Town, as these are attributes that are seemingly lacking in industrial society. You can come under the shiny golden branches of the palm, and as you slurp an oyster out of its shell, you can almost hear the sound of the ocean echoing in the distant memory of childhood carelessness. Without surprise, however, this vacation world is almost as distant and artificial as our man-made urban castles. Even our romanticised piece of heaven, the pinnacle of our wet dreams is a genetically modified organism. We have disconnected from nature since our initial moment of conception in the womb. Nature is an unattainable ideal in our lives, a reverie made of pink foam and golden tinsel. It almost feels like we have completely isolated ourselves to the point where even the food we eat is an imitation of nature. Looking for proof..Well that chicken drumstick laying under the palm tree is so damn massive, don’t you think?

Then as you descend the staircase, you see Mother Mary crying and everything is cute. Yet another juxtaposition between the ideal we have built for society and the individual cynicism that derives from it. On the walls you see windows with flowery cute curtains, and beneath them you get a glimpse of the real world. It’s a field of lilies. But the flat surface of the drawing does not pertain to this illusion. It purposely seeks to establish a sinister environment that inflates the robbing character of purity. Yang-Ha plays with the human condition by dissecting the debate around womanhood in nowadays society through the prism of the Christian ideal by reflecting on the two women in her life – her mom and her grandma. The ideal, being Mother Mary – a selfless woman – not an individual; sacrificial, submissive and altruistic. She is isolated in the basement; angels keep her company and constantly remind her of the purity and virtue she embodies; the purity and virtue she has to perpetuate in compensation to her long gone individuality. And where does the modern woman stand in this equation? Perhaps, we all want to be Mary but we can’t. Perhaps we all wanted our mothers to have been Mary at some point but they couldn’t. Purity and true virtue are ideals of the past that are unsuitable for our modern industrial inhabitance. The modern woman has OnlyFans as a job and thinks sex work is a political act.

Finally, ascending the stairs and moving into the back area, Lucie Sahner, the last presenter of her own piece of human condition, guides the viewer to the irretrievable passage of time, expressed in the transformation our bodies go through during a whole lifespan. This transformative process is conceptually contained within the artistic choice of using latex as the central material. Latex is a substance that has an organic origin. It is extracted from the bark of trees, as then it is processed into various products that accommodate different functions in society. And as the latex comes from an organic source, so we come from the source itself, because we are also irretrievably connected to it, as we sustain our bodies from nature. What’s more, it has been already established that human bodies and the rest of nature are the same matter on a metaphysical level, yet we still like distinguishing between “a self and an other”. It is always the ‘I’ and then everything else, as if the universe emerges from us and exists solely to serve our being. We transform our material matter in every given moment; we turn from flesh to soil; and then we become latex and we use the latex in the process of turning from flesh to soil.

SIGN @Supermarket Art Fair Stockholm SE: Koos Buster Stroucken

Posted on | by Sign

SIGN present at Supermarket Art Fair, Stockholm SE
13 -17 October 2021
Koos Buster Stroucken

Koos Buster Stroucken portrays the search for a doltish perfection or something trivial that could be celebrated. Phases of the process, are visible in his works. The innocence and messiness of a sketch are elements which return in a final piece. Ceramics associate with preciousness, wealth, vulnerability. Stroucken refers f.i. to Delfts Blue, ceramics that stand for rich Dutch history, and questionable Golden Age. By using ceramics this way his work shows friction: a combination of celebration, frustrations and anger. Like a comment on issues of modern society, depending on personal (dis)likes.
