アポジー -孤独、エコロジー、レクリエーションの編纂: ツアー
2010年10月〜2012年8月

#1-6 〈フィレンツェ - ニューヨーク - ロサンゼルス - イスタンブール - デュッセルドルフ - ムンバイ〉

In March 2010, nüans was located in three different time zones. Thus the search of ideas and material for a new book project started. At the beginning, it existed as a rough sketch of a common island. Further relocations followed and with each city we hit upon further ideas, people and contributions. The data started to pile up in the dropbox. Within the following year we presented a preview of the book at different locations, that is still growing even in the final stages of completion. Gradually, an expansive archipelago had developed and APOGEE gained more and more contour.

 

#1 石に話しかけていた

"Spending a few days alone, I found myself talking to rocks, saying: 'I'm just a visitor to this place, but you have been here forever.´" Daisuke Takahashi, 2005. "That´s not the beginning of the end, that’s the return to yourself." Enigma, Return to Innocence, 1994. The desire for isolation and social borderline experience is not new but fascinates humans for millenia. Some of the most fabulous works have been created far away from civilisation; for instance in the seclusion of medieval cloistures. A retreat like a commitment for a residency demands clear decisions: Waywardness or creative power? Robinson Crusoe or the Holy Scriptures? Romaticism or madness?

#2 その島があなたを選んだのよ

"The sun and the moon and the stars would have disappeared long ago ...had they happened to be within the reach of predatory human hands." Henry Havelock Ellis (1923)... frolicking at the park and celebrating another preview of the book. For one night, selected artists connected to the book will have the opportunity to present their ideas at this very special location, a community garden in Williamsburg, NYC:

"Birdcalls" (1972/1981) is an audiotape on which Louise Lawler squeals, squawks, chirps and occasionally warbles the names of twenty-eight contemporary male artists, from Vito Acconci to Lawrence Weiner.
In 1978, at the age of 18, Dolly Freed wrote this manifesto called "Possum Living: How to Live Well Without a Job and With (Almost) No Money." Christina Quinlan, a young Cooper Union art student, is going to present Dollys ideas to the audience.
Jerry Goralnick has been working as a theatre artist for quite a long time, he is going to read a sci-fi short story written exclusively for APOGEE by the painter Glen Rubsamen. Works by NY based artists Jessica Gispert, Susanna Thornton and Angelica Bergamini are going to be installed in situ.
Kris Pabon & Humberto José Castello from Miami ensemble "Animal Tropical" present a selection of island songs which take the Latin-based art funk that David Byrne made famous in the '80s and turned it on its head.

#3 安寧は人を孤立させる

"Comfort isolates. Solitude limits solidarity, solidarity corrupts solitude." Susan Sontag
The show in Los Angeles is the last step in a series of APOGEE previews and features various aspects of isolation and laziness in an urban context. The monotonous and alienating effect of isolated housing is a main theme in the whole exhibition.

Gökce Suvari is going to realize some impossible maze wall drawings which combine modernist architecture and dead-end possibilities of finding your way in this pre-organised systems.
Utilizing minimal editing techniques, repetition, and corporal action to engage the observer, Aaron GM (LA) uses his body, voice, minimal studio props, and a single lens to create a whimsical and compelling oeuvre.
Ana Barrado photographed the rockets in Cape Canaveral in 1988 and created futuristic images that have appeared in J.G. Ballard's story collection "The Atrocity Exhibition" published by RE/Search.
American artist Dan Graham presents "Homes for America" (1966-67) - a series of amateur-seeming snapshots of suburban architecture, published in 1966 in Arts magazine.
The American Felling Axe that Elmar Hermann uses in his installation at JB Jurve is an icon of American wildlife romanticism. A perfect example for taking cultural evolution radically serious. Every feature of this axe was meticulously designed for uselesness which turns a woodland tool into a general symbol for snobby weariness.
A famous yoga teacher once said: "If you don't have anymore, maybe you don't need it anymore.“ - a sentence that inspired Berlin based artist Klara Adam to use it as a title for a very fragile modell of a shipwrecked villa.
WJM Kok's "Untitled (As Long As The Grass Grows)" is out of a series video pieces in which difference is provoked by using visualisations from a standard computer software music player. The video also seems to act as a screensaver, which appears when a computer falls to sleep mode due to a lack of interaction.
Joe Baiza is a punk rock and jazz guitarist who lives in Los Angeles. Baiza is a founding member of the bands Saccharine Trust, Universal Congress Of, and The Mecolodiacs. At JB Jurve Baiza performs a solo setup during the opening night.
