Daniel Göttin, Installation Proposal for MINUS SPACE, 2010

February 6 – March 13, 2010

MINUS SPACE is delighted to announce a new immersive installation by Basel, Switzerland-based artist Daniel Göttin entitled Network 45 with Signs. For the past 20 years, Göttin has focused on making temporary, site-specific interventions that examine the subjective nature of perception. His installations, always consisting of common industrial materials, such as tape, carpet, and paint, playfully respond to the specific characteristics of an architectural site and activate the viewer’s relationship to it.

For Network 45 with Signs, Göttin will create a black tape wall installation throughout the entire gallery. At select intervals throughout his installation, he will also install a series of abstract “signs” made of aluminum foil on laminated cardboard, which were informed and inspired by his recent residency in Manhattan’s Chinatown.

Daniel Göttin has mounted nearly 60 solo exhibitions and projects since 1990 at museums, galleries, and non-profits worldwide, including throughout Europe, Japan, Australia, and the United States. His work has been presented, commissioned, collected, and written about widely over the past 20 years. In addition to his artistic work, Göttin, along with his partner, artist Gerda Maise, also directs Hebel_121, an experimental exhibition space in Basel, Switzerland.

Daniel Göttin’s installation Network 42 (2008) is also still on view in the café at P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center / A Museum of Modern Art Affiliate in Long Island City, NY. It was originally created for the exhibition MINUS SPACE, curated by Phong Bui, which was on view at the museum from October 2008 – May 2009.

SUPPORT
The exhibition Daniel Göttin: Network 45 with Signs is supported by Abteilung Kultur, Basel, Switzerland. MINUS SPACE’s programming is made possible by the generous support of The Golden Rule Foundation, as well as individual donors. We thank you!

Daniel Göttin, Transformer 2, 2008

After 2step, minimalpop, Painted Objects, Double Exposure, A Bit O’ White, My Eyes Keep Me In Trouble, Yo, Mo’ Modernism, With Your Eyes Only, COMPOSITE VISIONS is the ninth touring group exhibition organized by CCNOA, Brussels, Belgium.

Since its last theoretical stance as a sublime yet powerful art form, creating a new -ism and ironically also stating the end not only of painting but possibly also of visual art in general, and of its intellectual process, the idea of the ‘reductive’ itself has made an impressive return. Traces of the idea of the ‘reductive’ and similar approaches to art-making can be found in many artistic oeuvres which have come into the limelight since the overpowering postmodern related statements by artists and critics in the late 80’s, and the aesthetics of the ‘reductive’, nonobjective and concrete are now a subject of reflection in contemporary art practices, re-emerging from an imposed quasi non-existence.

In this state of relative non-recognition within the discourse and debate around art and culture in general, the subject of the ‘reductive’ as a possible antithesis to the overpowering reintroduction of representational painting and at the same time to the emergence of the focus on new media, technology and photography, has regained considerable strength over the last decade within an international frame of cultural production and commerce, as well as through the firmly held lone positions of artists like Mosset, Charlton, Armleder, Morellet, Palermo and others throughout the 80’s and 90’s.

Having seemingly recovered from the harsh critical overtones after almost being eliminated from contemporary discourse, in which a retroactive and purely commercial tone took over, the ideas and strategies of the ‘reductive’ and ‘essential’ have slowly found their way back into artistic language and practice. Yet, due to the visual superimpositions of present times, artists have started to shy away from the rigid limitations of -isms related to the ‘non-objective’ or ‘reductive’ and have embedded existing ideas, confluence of styles and approaches into the contemporary world, the here and now, mingling with popular culture as well as branching out of the studio practice inherent in painting as we know it and as the majority still likes to understand it.

Crossovers with other forms of art, like pop art, installation, and new media, play a major role in this new understanding of art-making in the realm of the ‘reductive’ and in its breaking out of its claimed territory with excursions into new planes of understanding, confronting the remarkable stakes which are on offer within the perimeter of ‘reductive’ art production today.

COMPOSITE VISIONS is triggered by the multitude of influences entering the thinking, thought process and practices of an array of like-minded contemporary artists from around the globe working within the fascinating and resilient discourse surrounding the historical, formal and contemporary explorations within the field of the ‘reductive’ in general and ‘reductive’ painting in particular.

Organized by the Brussels-based CCNOA COMPOSITE VISIONS comprises the work of 16 international artists and aims to give a modest inside overview of the possibilities within this broad approach. This type of exhibition is never able to display the entire palette of diversity; CCNOA’s objective is simply to document some of the thinking around this subject.

VIEWLIST is MINUS SPACE’s new online project space where we invite artists and others to curate a visual essay of images. VIEWLIST exhibitions are experimental and usually thematic, and can include art works spanning various time periods, movements, and geographic locations. Exhibitions may also include ideas and images from disciplines outside of the visual arts. With VIEWLIST, we’ve created a venue that focuses exclusively on ideas, a kind of idealized curatorial space, where exhibition budgets, loans and acquisitions of art works, timelines, and all other logistics are set aside.

Our third viewlist exhibition is conceived by New York painter Karen Schifano.

Bulletin Board: Inspiration Information*
Thoughts on Inspiration
Conceived by Karen Schifano

The word “inspire” (originally meaning “to infuse with breath”) is a verb, but can also transform itself into a noun or adjective. It’s very active, and yet also implies being receptive, even demands openness, a readiness to receive, and a sharpening of perception and awareness. From one thing, there is a direct connection to another thing, a kind of touch that is nurturing, rich and full of promise. Potential becomes realization; we wake up rejuvenated, re-energized, and ready for action.

This group of inspirational flotsam and jetsam from our homes and studios is incredibly varied, running the gamut from a poetic quote to the restoration of a house, from the image of a computer desktop to strips of colored tape on a wall. In some instances, there’s a surprising leap from the image seen here to the finished work, in others there is a clear and recognizable relationship. I hope that as you are intrigued by an image, you will click on it to reveal the caption or thoughts of the artist, and then go to the individual websites linked to each name. Through a dialogue about how the mysterious process of getting from A to B or even Z unfolds for each of us, new avenues of search can open up, and we can be re-inspired by this “Inspiration Information”.

Work by Jan van der Ploeg

June 20 – August 1, 2009
Opening: June 20, 2009, 2pm

Curated by Victoria Munro, participating artists include Andrew Barber, Julian Dashper, Matthew Deleget, Daniel Gottin, Kyle Jenkins, Lucy McMillan, Dane Mitcehll, Jan van der Ploeg & Tilman.

‘We Go Far….And Way Back.’, is a group painting show comprised of artists with shared work philosophies and exhibition histories. ‘We Go Far…., refers to not only the distances geographically between the artists but also the integral nature of travel in their practice. …..’And Way Back.’ – each of the nine artists here including the show curator have directed/founded and exhibited in variations of the ‘artist run space’. They have ‘bed hopped’ between countries and each other’s galleries, creating a constantly shifting informal collective.

Andrew Barber is a practicing artist, based in Auckland, New Zealand, with a record of involvement in artist-run spaces – formerly as director of Room103 from 2004 – 2007 and currently as a founding member of Gambia Castle, a new art space in Auckland run by a collective of artists and writers. In 2007 He was invited to join the Starkwhite stable of artists.

Julian Dashper was born in Auckland, New Zealand in 1960. He has been exhibiting regularly throughout New Zealand since 1980, Australia and Europe since 1992 and across America since 2001. In 2001 Dashper was based as an artist in residence at the Chinati Foundation in Marfa, Texas (www.chinati.org) funded by a senior Fulbright fellowship. Dashper’s work from the last 25 years has recently been the subject of a major touring retrospective in America, curated by Christopher Cook and David Raskin.

Matthew Deleget (Brooklyn, USA) is an abstract painter, curator, and writer. He has exhibited his work nationally and internationally, including solo and group exhibitions in Europe, Asia, and Australia. He is a member of American Abstract Artists and the Marie Walsh Sharpe Art Foundation’s Artist Advisory Committee. Matthew has received awards from the American Academy of Arts & Letters, Brooklyn Arts Council, and The Golden Rule Foundation, and his work has been reviewed in The New York Times, Flash Art, Artnet Magazine, The Philadelphia Inquirer, and Basler Zeitung, among others. He is the director of Minus Space in Brooklyn, NY.

Daniel Göttin lives & works in Basel (Switzerland) Göttin’s works are site-related installations and all-over drawings made of industrial materials. The real space with its own qualities has a strong influence on his artistic concept and practice; it becomes an integral part of the installation. Artwork and real space appear as transformed entities, both exist simultaneously in time and size. Each new spatial situation provides a new experience of perception. The creative manipulation of simple functional material can translate the act of looking into the art of seeing, transforming the place itself into an experience of perception. Göttin’s practice includes wall drawings and spatial interventions. He is the founder of Hebel, an artist-run exhibition space in Basel (CH).

Kyle Jenkins lives and works in Toowoomba, Australia, where he is the coordinator of Visual Arts at the University of Southern Queensland. Through the spatial expectations of architecture as well as traditional developments of abstraction his work fluctuates within and between the act of habitation and the creation of imagined space which produces work positioned within canvas and wall paintings (soft and hard edge geometry), architectural models, drawings, photographs, films and objects. He is currently i.e. gallery, director, Toowoomba, Australia and was also a board member of Sydney Non-Objective (S.N.O) from 2004 – 2007

Lucy McMillan is a New Zealand visual artist who currently lives and works in Berlin. She is the current recipient of a Culturia artist residency in Berlin. She is the co-editor of art publication SOAP.

Dane Mitchell lives and works in Auckland, New Zealand. Mitchell is currently living in Berlin completing a one-year residency in the DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Programme. He is the first New Zealand artist to be awarded a place in this internationally renowned program since it’s beginning in 1968. He joins a line up of DAAD artists that includes: Carl Andre, Daniel Buren, Douglas Gordon, Dan Graham, Damien Hirst, Ilya Kabakov, On Kawara, Nam June Paik, Bridget Riley, Pippilotti Rist, Lawrence Weiner and Rachel Whiteread.

Jan van der Ploeg lives and works in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. He exhibits internationally, often completing large-scale wallpaintings as well as works on canvas. Van der Ploeg’s wallpaintings exist of different layers of paint, as a result of which a soft and smooth texture arises, comparable to his paintings on canvas. He has developed his own color-vocabulary, existing of black, white and contrasting tones as pink, purple and orange. He is also the artistic director of PS gallery in Amsterdam (NL) 1999-2009.

Tilman is a Visual Artist who lives and works in Brussels (B) and New York NY (USA). As well as his own international art practice he is artistic director & chief curator of CCNOA center for contemporary non-objective art Brussels (BE) since 2003, and Co-founder and artistic director of H29 Brussels (B) 2005 – 2008.

Victoria Munro was born in Wellington, New Zealand in 1975. She has spent the last thirteen years working between Auckland, New Zealand and New York. During this time she has exhibited her own photographic and sculptural work internationally and curated/co-curated exhibitions in New Zealand, Australia and Europe. Munro was co-director of rm3 and rm212 gallery from 1998-2002. She is the co-editor of art publication SOAP.

August 24 —September 7, 2008

Gallery Le Petit Port in Leiden presents the international group show Leiden Assemblage No. 1. Guest curators and artists Billy Gruner (AUS) and Jan Maarten Voskuil gathered an international group of artists to integrate their work as a ’social assemblage’ in a surround mural by Daniel Gottin (CH). This Swiss artist known for his spatial interventions, often with tape, made a design especially for the front room or window space from Le Petit Port. Invited artists are aside Gottin and the curators Daniel Argyle (AUS), Jasper van der Graaf, Kyle Jenkins (AUS), Andrew Leslie (AUS), Tilman (B), Thomas Wildner, Guido Winkler and Giles Ryder (AUS). They are all working in the ‘Modernist’ field of non objective art. This is an area nowadays often to be described as a decorative quoting or individual appropriation of former visual appearances without the original ideological social concepts. In the Leiden assemblage some of this ideology will be revived. By nature of the space, the window gallery is a prominent part of the street, the show will direct itself to virtual everybody passing by; bringing back in memory the ideal social cultural participation. More important, the group concept drives the artists to modestly submit into a Gesamtkunstwerk.
