Latest work by Anita Bacic, Outside In/Inside Out
Anita Bacic's work engages with the human need to network, interact and
communicate with other individuals. 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.
Please Note: Optimum viewing is during daylight hours
Dates: 01 August 21 September
Opening: Thursday 31 July, 6 8pm
Special Event: Saturday 02 August, 3pm

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.

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.

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.

About the art space:
"TRESOR Space for Ephemeral Art", founded by Stuttgart arts
managers Winfried Stürzl and Marko Schacher as well as Kurt Laurenz
Theinert, a light artist living in Stuttgart, is providing ephemeral,
temporally delimited and impalpable art forms with a forum of their
own. 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.
