Post Punk Progression


Post Punk Progression
20-11 t/m 20-12
OPENING 20-11 20.00 UUR

Kunstenaars: Attak, Charlott Markus, Yasser Ballemans en Manon van Trier
Curatoren: Iris Peters, Tessa Peters, Dennis Elbers


De grafisch ontwerpers van ATTAK (Peter Korsman & Casper Herselman) bestoken de wereld al 5 jaar met hun Powergestaltung. Deze zelf bedachte term is een verzamelnaam voor eigenzinnige portretten, provocerende leuzen en andere onverschrokken beelden. Met groteske gebaren maar zonder teveel details geven ze een visuele mening. Deze rauwe en essentiële beeldtaal heeft veel raakvlakken met punk, toevallig ook nog eens hun favoriete muziekstijl.

Het vijfjarige bestaan van ATTAK was de aanleiding voor de tentoonstelling A+ eerder dit jaar in het CBK Den Bosch. Post Punk Progression is een vervolg op deze tentoonstelling waarbij andere kunstenaars met een vergelijkbaar krachtige en een tot de essentie gestripte beeldtaal het werk van ATTAK aanvullen. Het werk draait niet om de ideologie van punk, maar de kunstenaars hebben wel een punk attitude waarbij de DIY (Do It Yourself) werkwijze van groot belang is.

Ellen Driscoll




I am also fascinated by cycles of decay and regeneration. For example, the strange phenomenon of a phantom limb still feeling sensation, is evidence of our brain circuitry re-wiring itself to compensate for loss. I see my work as an imaginative parallel to this biological phenomenon.. I am also interested in different forms of paradox; motion and stasis, weight and weightlessness, light and dark, wholeness and fragmentation are all held in tension in the physical act of encountering my work.

Oscar Santillán :
I changed my mind a few minutes ago, I want it back.
“If there is a reason why artists and prophets look so similar, it is not because artists are able to predict the future like prophets would. It is just that they both share the same fate, they are not able to modify the upcoming events.”
The world is just a phantom of possibilities, this is why any complex fiction makes sense, and the simplest gestures have a reason to exist for.

Kees Moeliker won the Ig Nobel Prize for Biology in 2003 for documenting the first scientifically recorded case of homosexual necrophilia in the mallard duck. In other words, Mr. Moeliker, who is the curator of the Natural History Museum in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, was witness of the fact that a male duck raped another male duck, which was already dead!

Lars Ø. Ramberg




Since 1992 Lars Ø. Ramberg has been working critically with themes such as national identity, symbolic architecture, and language as collective frames of reference, by taking an extant history and working on it, manipulating it, or questioning the dominant method of writing history. This kind of conceptual, theoretical processing, which is also nonetheless subjective and emotional, is presented to the public in the same context in which it was created, drawing the viewer into the discourse.

Terragrams



Terragrams is a podcast series disseminating discussions about the landscape. As our societal conscience and appreciation of the landscape heightens, Terragrams provides a wide portal into landscape architecture and the lives and thoughts of the professionals who shape it. The project aims at capturing, distributing and archiving these voices. It is an easily accessible, open audio digital archive aimed at collecting first-hand, face-to-face conversations between and about people in and around the field.

Ursula Endlicher





Ursula Endlicher was born in Vienna, Austria and lives and works as a "multiple-media" artist in New York since 1993. Her work resides on the intersection of Internet, performance and multi-media installation. She is focusing, with a critical and yet humorous eye, on the underlying structures of the Web, questioning online identity, while often anthropomorphizing and enacting the Web, and bringing the Web into a "physical" realm via alternative human-machine communication interfaces.
