We visit two new exhibitions in London by two very different US artists. First, we’ll hear from the curator of the UK’s first Noah Davis exhibition. The glorious, sweeping show at the Barbican serves as a worthy tribute to the late, great painter. Then: we’ll hear from high-spirited octogenarian Joseph Kosuth, whose show at Sprüth Magers features works from his six decades spent as a pioneer of conceptual and installation art.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Weet jij hoelang een kilometer is? 1000 meter denk je vast. Maar beseffen we eigenlijk wel hoe groot die afstand echt is? In een tijd van GPS en stappentellers, zijn maateenheden vanzelfsprekend geworden. Maar niet als het aan Stanley Brouwn ligt. In zijn werk ‘One step on one kilometer', maakt hij een abstract begrip zoals de kilometer weer zichtbaar. Janine Abbring spreekt erover met conservator beeldende kunst 20ste eeuw, Ludo van Halem.Normaal kun je naar www.rijksmuseum.nl/podcast gaan voor een afbeelding van het kunstwerk waarover gepraat wordt. Maar in dit geval is daar geen foto te zien, want dat wilde de kunstenaar niet.In het Rijksmuseum is powered by ING.
Du 13 septembre 2023 au 28 janvier 2024 MUSÉE DU LUXEMBOURG À l'occasion de la célébration du 50ᵉ anniversaire de la mort de Picasso, le Musée du Luxembourg propose une grande exposition sur l'histoire d'une amitié hors norme, entre deux icônes du XXe siècle, Pablo Picasso et Gertrude Stein. Gertrude Stein (1874-1946), une immigrée juive américaine, à la fois écrivaine, poète et esthète, s'installe à Paris dès 1903, peu après l'arrivée de Picasso, alors jeune artiste. Leur position d'étrangers et leur marginalité fondent leur appartenance à la bohème parisienne et leur liberté artistique. Leur amitié s'est cristallisée autour de leur travail respectif, fondateur du cubisme et des avant-gardes picturales et littéraires du XXe siècle. Leur postérité est immense. En examinant leur complicité et leur inventivité, l'exposition du Musée du Luxembourg traversera un siècle d'art, de poésie, de musique et de théâtre à travers de grandes figures telles que Henri Matisse, Juan Gris, Marcel Duchamp, Jasper Johns, Andy Warhol, Bruce Nauman, Carl Andre, Joseph Kosuth, Hanne Darboven, Glenn Ligon, John Cage, Bob Wilson, Gary Hill ou encore Philip Glass.
What is the role of contemporary art museums today? Are biennales and art fairs platforms for experiment and exchange, or little more than social attractions for the elite? Have collectors become the new curators? Are private and corporate interests in culture at odds with the public good? And ultimately, who is art for? In this debate recorded in Hong Kong in 2012, award-winning documentary film-maker, author and art critic, Ben Lewis, and Hong Kong-born artist, Paul Chan, spoke for the motion. Former Director of Sydney's Museum of Contemporary Art, Elizabeth Ann Macgregor, and conceptual art pioneer, Joseph Kosuth, spoke against the motion. Our chair was the writer, art market expert and author, Georgina Adam.

Joseph Kosuth, figure majeure de l'art conceptuel, dialogue avec Jacinto Lageira, professeur en esthétique, autour du rapport de l'art au langage et à la philosophie. Joseph Kosuth, né en 1945 aux États-Unis, est l'un des principaux théoriciens et acteurs de l'art conceptuel. Il réfléchit sur l'art dans son rapport au langage et à la philosophie. En 1969, il publie Art After Philosophy : il projette d'« inventer des sens nouveaux à l'art », rejette toute idée d'esthétisme et de formalisme et se réfère notamment aux écrits de Wittgenstein. Membre du groupe Art & Langage de 1969 à 1973, il représente ensuite sa branche américaine et coédite leur revue The Fox. Il est aussi enseignant, critique, conférencier et voit son travail comme une « enquête sur l'art ». Jacinto Lageira est professeur en esthétique à l'Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne.

Angela Westwater at 257 Bowery, 2020, photo by Alexei Hay Angela Westwater co-founded Sperone Westwater Fischer in 1975 with Italian art dealer Gian Enzo Sperone and German gallerist Konrad Fischer, opening a space at 142 Greene Street in SoHo, New York. (The gallery's name was changed to Sperone Westwater in 1982.) An additional space was later established at 121 Greene Street. The founders' original program showcased a European avant-garde alongside a core group of American artists to whom its founders were committed. Notable early exhibitions include a 1977 show of minimalist works by Carl Andre, Dan Flavin, Donald Judd, and Sol Lewitt; seven of Bruce Nauman's seminal early shows; six early Gerhard Richter shows; two Cy Twombly exhibitions in 1982 and 1989; eleven Richard Long exhibitions; and the installation of one of Mario Merz's celebrated glass and neon igloos in 1979 -- part of the gallery's ongoing dedication to Arte Povera artists, including Alighiero Boetti. Other early historical exhibitions at the Greene Street space include a 1989 group show, "Early Conceptual Works," which featured the work of On Kawara, Bruce Nauman, Alighiero Boetti, and Joseph Kosuth, among others; a 1999 Fontana exhibition titled "Gold: Gothic Masters and Lucio Fontana"; and selected presentations of work by Piero Manzoni. From May 2002 to May 2010, the gallery was located at 415 West 13 Street, in a 10,000-square foot space in the Meatpacking District. In September 2010, Sperone Westwater inaugurated a new Foster + Partners designed building at 257 Bowery. Today, over 45 years after its conception, the gallery continues to exhibit an international roster of prominent artists working in a wide variety of media. Artists represented by Sperone Westwater include Bertozzi & Casoni, Joana Choumali, Kim Dingle, Shaunté Gates, Jitish Kallat, Guillermo Kuitca, Wolfgang Laib, Helmut Lang, Amy Lincoln, Richard Long, Emil Lukas, David Lynch, Heinz Mack, Mario Merz, Katy Moran, Malcolm Morley, Bruce Nauman, Otto Piene, Alexis Rockman, Susan Rothenberg, Tom Sachs, Peter Sacks, Andrew Sendor, and William Wegman. Past exhibitions, press, and artworks can be found on the gallery website. Born in Columbus, Ohio, Westwater received her BA from Smith College and her MA from New York University. She arrived in New York City in 1971 and landed her first job as a “gallery girl” at the John Weber Gallery at 420 West Broadway. From 1972 to 1975, she served as Managing Editor of Artforum magazine. In 1975, the same year the gallery was founded, Westwater was appointed to the Board of Trustees of The Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation, where she has served as President since 1980. The books mentioned in the interview are The Free World, Art and Thought in the Cold War by Louis Menand and A Life of Picasso, The Minotaur Years by John Richardson.

Marina Abramović La artista Serbia de 74 años es considerada como una de las grandes precursoras de la “performance” y ha logrado que sus obras trasciendan los ciruculos especializados para integrarse en la cultura popular. Democratizo la performance, hibrido basado en la improvisacion y el contacto directo con el espectador. En la Academia de Bellas Artes de Belgrado, donde studio entre el 65 y el 69, lo mas interesante sucedia fuera de las aulas, sostiene y alli constituyo el Grupo 70, un sexteto de creadores que analizaban el trabajo de conceptualistas estadounidenses como Lawrence Weiner o Joseph Kosuth. En sus memorias, “Derribando muros”, Abramovic define esa epoca como una de las pocas en que fue ciertamente feliz:” Se trataba de volcar la vida en el arte”
La parola può essere uno slogan pubblicitario, un grido politico ma anche un'immagine. In questa puntata, Costantino e Francesco mettono a confronto il serioso Joseph Kosuth e il giocoso Lawrence Wiener, ci spiegano come fare arte fotocopiando un vocabolario e parlano dei neon logorroici di Maurizio Nannucci, di come un marchio di moda si è appropriato dello stile di Barbara Kruger e di quanto Jenny Holzer terrorizzasse i galleristi. Infine, Francesco ci propone la sua distinzione tra artisti-mattone e artisti-colonna e cerca di far luce su uno dei più grandi gialli del nostro tempo: Costantino è davvero stitico o ha solo un bagno deprimente?In questa puntata si parla di Joseph Kosuth, Ferdinand de Saussure, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders, Jacopo da Pontormo, Lawrence Wiener, Tino Sehgal, Maurizio Nannucci, Bruce Nauman, Kerry Hill, Geoffrey Bawa, Sophie Calle, Barbara Kruger, Guerrilla Girls, Cartesio, Jenny Holzer, Helmut Lang, Glenn Ligon, Okwui Enwezor, The Harlem Six, Robert Barry, Richard Prince, Hito Steyerl e Alberto Manzi.
Versione audio: Joseph Kosuth (1945) è stato, ed è, uno dei più autorevoli esponenti di una tendenza artistica internazionale nota come Arte Concettuale o Concettualismo, sorta alla metà degli anni Sessanta ad opera del gruppo britannico Art and Language e poi affermatasi in tutto il mondo a partire dal decennio successivo. Cos’è l’arte concettuale Rifiutando […] L'articolo Una e tre sedie: Kosuth e l’Arte Concettuale proviene da Arte Svelata.
Gavin Turk in conversation with Joseph Kosuth, moderated by James Putnam ‘We are asleep. Our life is like a dream. But in our better hours we wake up just enough to realise that we are dreaming.' - Ludwig Wittgenstein Gavin Turk's installation and intervention in Freud's former residence, Wittgenstein's Dream, investigates the intriguing conceptual dialogue between two enlightened Viennese thinkers of the 20th century, Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) and Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951). Gavin Turk was born 1967 in Guildford, from 1989-91 he attended the Royal College of Art. For his MA exhibition show Cave, Turk notoriously presented a whitewashed studio space containing only a blue heritage plaque commemorating his presence. Though refused a degree, his subsequent infamy attracted the attention of Charles Saatchi and Turk became part of a loosely associated group known as the ‘Young British Artists' (YBAs). He has continued to show worldwide and has work in many national museum collections (including Tate and MOMA). His work often deals with concerns of authority and identity and has taken up many forms including the painted bronze, the waxwork, the recycled art-historical icon and the use of litter. Joseph Kosuth is one of the pioneers of Conceptual art and installation art, initiating language-based works and appropriation strategies in the 1960s. His work has consistently explored the production and role of language and meaning within art. The philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein, among others, influenced the development of his work. Kosuth's installation Zero & Not was exhibited at Berggasse 19 - The Sigmund Freud Museum in Vienna, marking the centennial of Sigmund Freud's birth. In its artistic and curatorial approach the installation drew on his seminal exhibition projects Wittgenstein – Das Spiel des Unsagbaren at the Vienna Secession (1989) in Austria and the Palais des Beaux-Arts, Brussels. Wittgenstein's Dream is the latest in the critically acclaimed ongoing series of Freud Museum London exhibitions curated by James Putnam that have included projects by Sophie Calle, Sarah Lucas, Ellen Gallagher, Tim Noble & Sue Webster, Mat Collishaw and Miroslaw Balka. Wittgenstein's Dream is on display at The Freud Museum London 26 November 2015 – 7 February 2016 In association with Ben Brown Fine Arts.
"Inspiration - Iconic Works" är vårens storsatsning på Nationalmuseum i Stockholm. Återigen en utställning där konsthistorien speglas genom samtidskonsten. Hur lyckat det blev diskuteras i P1 Kultur. Nationalmuseum sätter fokus på konsthistoriens ikoniska verk. Några från de egna samlingarna - andra är världskändisar och lämnar inte sina museer. Det gäller Leonardo da Vincis Mona Lisa, Laokoongruppen på Vatikanmuseet och Nefertitibysten som alla dyker upp ändå i utställningen "Inspiration - Iconic Works". Dessutom undersöks Konstmuseets roll i konsthistorien. Mårten Arndtzén och Valerie Kyeyune Backström diskuterar utställningen. Konceptkonstens nestor Joseph Kosuth som gjort ett nytt verk på Nationalmuseum intervjuas också. ART WASHING - DEN ALLT MER INFEKTERADE RELATIONEN MELLAN KONSTEN OCH SPONSORERNA Art Washing är ett begrepp som blivit allt vanligare i konstdebatten. Det handlar om företag som går in som sponsorer till konstinstitutioner - och på det sättet får mycket goodwill för de investerade pengarna. Företag som det stormat kring är oljebolaget BP, läkemedelsföretag ägda av familjen Sackler och nu Lundin Norway vars avtal med konstmuseet Astrup Fearnley inte förnyas. Vi pratar om Astrup Fearnley och fördjupar diskussionen om konstinstitutionerna har råd att vara etiska. PER KIRKEBYS BRONSER VISAS PÅ LOUISIANA Per Kirkeby - Bronze heter en nyöppnad utställning på Lousiana i Danmark. Och som titeln antyder fokuserar den helt på Kirkebys mindre kända bronsskulpturer som han började göra i slutet på 70-talet till följd av en kreativ kris i måleriet. David Richter har träffat Poul Erik Tøjner som har gjort utställningen. OBS-ESSÄN OM BEHOVET AV ETT STÖRRE ALLVAR I SAMTIDSDEBATTEN Susan Sontag var en av USA:s mest framträdande författare och kritiker. Utöver romaner, essäer, pjäser och filmer så skrev hon otaliga texter för tidningar och tidskrifter och axlade rollen som public intellectual, intellektuell i offentligheten. Hon var kontroversiell och kännetecknades av ett stort allvar. En seriositet som vår tid nog lider brist på. Om det skriver författaren Lyra Koli i dagens essä. Programledare: Gunnar Bolin Producent: Cecilia Blomberg

Joseph Kosuth'un, Joyce'un Finnegan's Wake isimli eserini referans aldığı Uyanma / The Wake başlıklı sergisi Kuad'ta sürüyor. İlksen Mavituna sanatçıyla Açık Dergi için bir söyleşi yaptı:
When he arrived in New York in 1965, Joseph Kosuth was a 20-year-old recent graduate from art school, yet he quickly established himself as a founding member of the conceptual art movement in the United States. At this time Kosuth was inspired by philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein’s investigations of language. Wittgenstein’s posthumously published book ‘Philosophical investigations’ was a radical departure from previous philosophical texts, presented as a series of aphorisms that proposed assumptions from the traditional Augustine view of language and then deconstructed them, exposing the impossibility of using any set of rules to explain how we learn and use language.1 In 1965 Kosuth conceived a number of works using words written in neon that conveyed nothing more than what they were: ‘Five words in red neon’, for example, consisted of the five words of the title written in red neon lights, while ‘One and eight – a description (pink)’ consisted of the words ‘Neon Electric Light English Glass Letters Pink Eight’ written in pink neon lights.2 The next year he started his ‘Art as idea as idea’ series, in which he printed enlarged dictionary definitions of words in negative (white text on black ground). He deliberately chose words that commonly appear within the lexicon of art writing, words such as ‘original’, ‘meaning’ and ‘material’. In the series ‘One and three’ Kosuth poses the question, ‘What do we mean by a specific word such as “table”?’ He placed a pre-existing object in a gallery space next to a photograph of that object taken in situ, and a dictionary definition of the word used to describe, generically, that object. The viewer is led to compare the levels of accuracy in communicating meaning through both visual and verbal means. The dictionary definition is more accurate as a generic description of a table, whereas the photograph is more accurate as a description of this specific table. Yet removed from its functional context and placed in a gallery, even the table itself is only a sign: a three-dimensional and generic ‘example’ of what might be meant by the word ‘table’. Displayed as a triptych, the three signs for ‘table’ are all ultimately unsatisfactory as signifiers of the word if shown to an individual who had never before come across the notion of ‘table’. By exposing the limitations of language in such seemingly simple and concrete words as ‘chair’, ‘table’ or ‘broom’, Kosuth questions the possibility of using any language, and specifically, the language of the visual arts, to convey the meaning of more abstract phenomena such as ‘love’, ‘spirituality’ or even the meaning of the word ‘art’ itself. 1.
