Exhibition reception at Mali salon, Rijeka on 08.07.2010.

From July 8th the  Gallery Mali salon in Rijeka will host the exhibition of artist Marcus Doyle: „Night photography”

During the X-OP Residency in Rijeka, Croatia (2010), photographer Marcus Doyle  will produce a series of images in and around the area of Rijeka taken late in the day and at night. His plan is to explore key areas and some of the industrial heritage such as the Torpedo factory for which Rijeka is famous. Other industrial and urban sites will also be covered, as well as the surrounding beaches taking pictures at night like never before.

The end result would be a series of stunning Night images of Rijeka exhibited as large-scale prints.

 During his residency in Rijeka he will give a lecture regarding his work, explaining in detail his techniques and motivation behind the images. The lecture will be followed by a workshop with other artists and interested parties, in and around Rijeka, so that they to can make there own interpretations using photography.

X-OP – eXchange of art operators and producers is a gradually growing network of artists, researchers, operators, producers and centers with the aim to establish European platform for creation of art and exchange. With its places, spaces and user oriented technological infrastructure it fosters mobility of artists, theoreticians and executives. It is built to strengthen pan-European and global collaboration, common production and interdisciplinary approach to art.

The X-OP project is multi-annual project, from 2008 to 2011, and is supported by European Commission – Program Culture.

Biography:

Marcus Doyle has been shooting landscapes professionally for the past twelve years. His work has taken him all over the world, from the Artic Circle to the deserts of Africa choosing to shoot on a large 10/8 view camera whenever possible. He spent three years shooting the American landscape out of California where he lived before returning to the UK.
Doyle’s work has been exhibited widely in the USA, Europe and the UK. He has recently signed with the Orchard agency in London and New York and now covers commercial assignments as well as producing more projects and archive material for galleries worldwide…

In November 2004 his first book Night Vision was published. His second Book Urban Safari is due out at the end of the year.

Pierre Schaeffer’s work, among the ones most often mentioned when we speak of art and “new media” in the 20th century, is actually only partially known. Reduced to one single concept, musique concrète, it has become only famous pre-history of something as widespread as the sampling technique. It therefore seems that today it poses no challenge before us. But is that really so? What would Schaeffer tell us if he were here today with us, celebrating his hundredth birthday? And who is he actually: a media researcher or an artist?
In this context, Rijeka offers itself as a surprisingly adequate location: although Schaeffer has not visited this city during his life, at a certain point of time it has been a scene of another episode, whose interplay of “new media”, wartime, and art, maybe in a different way and in a different sense, seems to be resounding from Schaeffer’s work as well: Are media and art allies at all, or do they have opposite interests?
At the occasion of the hundredth anniversary of Pierre Schaeffer’s birth, the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rijeka organizes an international meeting at which we would very much appreciate your participation. The basic information about this event please find enclosed and a detailed elaboration of the program will follow after your application. Hoping that our collaboration on this project will be successful,

Infinite Games

31. August – 3. September 2009

“Infinite games do not have a knowable beginning or ending. They are played with the goal of continuing play. An infinite game continues play, for sake of play. If the game is approaching resolution because of the rules of play, the rules must be changed to allow continued play. The rules exist to ensure the game is infinite. Examples could be the life of a culture and its participants, the act of artistic creation, participation in activities such as Renaissance Fairs or other non-goal-directed play, role-playing games in which playing rather than winning is the motivation. Ultimately, life itself is the fullest realization of the infinite game. Beginning to participate in an infinite game may be involuntary, in that it doesn’t require conscious thought. Continuing participation in the current round of game-play is voluntary. “It is an invariable principle of all play, finite and infinite, that whoever plays, plays freely” (Wikipedia)

Wednesday, December 9th, 11 a.m. – 1 p.m., MMSU
Lecture by Christiane Paul: 3 BQ – Perspectives on Media Art Discussion with BQ artists and curators

For the third time the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art presents one of the most important regional art events – the Quadrilateral Biennale. Its history began in 2005 with a cultural exchange between four neighbouring countries, the members of the Quadrilateral initiative – Croatia, Slovenia, Hungary, and Italy, with an emphasis on presenting contemporary art practice, its recent developments, exciting statements, new forms, and media.
Unlike its thematic predecessors, Relativism (2005) and Heroes of Culture (2007), this year’s Quadrilateral Biennale is for the first time concerned with new media art – the art that uses digital technologies, which have deeply affected contemporary society, as its medium. The Quadrilateral Biennale will examine different angles and intersections emerging from new media in their relation to the specific political, economic, and cultural context of the participating countries.
The curatorial team – Christiane Paul (USA/GER), Nina Czegledy (HU), Peter Tomaž Dobrila (SL), Darko Fritz (HR), and Elena Giulia Rossi (IT) will present 16 works of media and digital art, one of the most innovative fields of art in its aesthetic and technological constellations. On display in the MMSU and at several other Rijeka venues, the exhibition will be integrated into the urban space of Rijeka, which, during the time of the Biennale, will turn the city into the regional centre of new media art.
The exhibition provides insight into characteristics of media art, such as its connectivity, interactivity, and adaptability, thus reflecting on the current state of information society, while transcending national borders and generating a much wider regional effect. In addition to this, the Biennale hosts Christiane Paul from the USA as artistic director, and, in the OFF program, four artists from countries that are not members of the Quadrilateral. This also gives the exhibition the character of a multilateral event, transforming the initial geographic format into an open matrix of the connections and perspectives that form the framework of contemporary media culture.
The curatorial selection offers different perspectives on contemporary art and culture, directing our attention to multiple relations between forms and themes. Among these are Intersections between different media, such as film, photography, and performance, as well as time/space intersections (enabled by telecommunications) and the ones between local and personal histories and natural and technological space. (Christiane Paul)

The Croatian Selection

With the site-specific installation Global Picture / Sensor of Human Condition the artist Dalibor Martinis will illuminate the globe on the Transadria building in Rijeka harbour. Daily reports on the global economy, stock markets, disasters, health, international relations and conflicts, civil freedoms, ecology, and media provide data for measuring the current state of humanity, which, by means of a software application, is translated into changes in the color of the globe. Similar displays will simultaneously transmit the Global Picture in Zagreb and Zadar.
The work of Vlatko Čerić, one of media art’s pioneers, will be represented by the algorithmic abstract animation Pulsation, while Ivan Marušić Klif’s work Telephoning 2 will connect the MMSU with public telephone booths in Croatia, creating a non-material, temporary sound sculpture. The interactive film Mechanical Figures – twentythousandcycles.NET by Helena Bulaja, inspired by the life and work of Nikola Tesla, guides the user around the world and through the history of technological and social development, from Zagreb to London, New York, Tokyo, and New Zealand.

The Italian Selection

In their series Synthetic Performances, the duo 0100101110101101.org reenacts historical performances by icons of contemporary art in the virtual world Second Life. The Elastic Group of Artistic Research explores metaphors of the contemporary urban metropolis in the video Remix City – an informational matrix that interweaves economic indicators, technological processes, statistic data, and image and language systems.
In his work Marinetti alla Quarta the artist Lorenzo Pizanelli brings to life the spirit of F. T. Marinetti, the founder of Futurism, by means of artificial intelligence, while Carlo Zanni manipulates the reality of space and time by creating a hybrid film genre mixing documentary and fiction, net art and film.

The Hungarian Selection

In his work iGarden, Marton Andras Juhasz examines the borders between science and art, trying to illuminate the invisible, quantitatively inexpressible relationships between people, technology, and nature. In her composite, interactive video Rendez-vous à seconde, Julia Vecsei explores urban and everyday life in the same location at different time intervals.
In the video-installation Mute, Janos Sugar ironically transforms TV broadcasts of actual electoral debates from different countries into a discussion about power relations within the system of contemporary art. With his collaborators, Adam Somlai-Fischer, trained as an architect, built a new kind of camera, the Wifi Camera, which visualizes a dynamic – invisible to the eye, but actually omnipresent – electromagnetic space established by wireless connections.

The Slovenian Selection

In their installation Formication, the artist duo Luiza Margan & Miha Presker show living organisms, ant colonies, whose life emerges through the drawings they make, forming a new and dynamic drawing topology. Uršula Berlot is also concerned with the intersection of nature and technology, science and art. In her video-work Pulsation, she tries to penetrate the mechanisms of cognizance and creative processes through the diagnostic methods of X-rays, embodied in moving images of the author’s brain.
In the work Panorama, the artist duo son:Da shows how we increasingly identify with technology, thus losing our central position in our relationship to the world of machines. In his interactive installation Ditopia Signpost, Marko Košnik enables the viewer to get acquainted with the museum as institution (location, facilities, people…) and investigates the issues of public and less public spaces, as well as the perception of space from different angles and technological positions (net connections, surveillance cameras, navigation systems…).
