Präsentation
Ein Haufen Haare
Michael Günzburger
 

Im Herbst 2008 hielt sich Michael Günzburger für drei Monate in New Delhi auf, um mit nordindischen Kunsthandwerkern Multiples zu produzieren. Seine einzige Bedingung für die Kooperation war, dass die angefragten Handwerksmeister auch am Sujet mitarbeiteten. Dies war alles andere als einfach, und nötigte etwa Michael Günzburger, einem Miniaturmaler aus Jaipur den Auftrag zu geben, einen "Haufen Haare mit Flecken" zu zeichnen. Gerade daraus entwickelte sich ein Austausch, der durchaus als tiefergreifenden Einstieg in einen interkulturellen Dialog über Handwerk und bildende Kunst, deren Auftrag und Ausführung, und Autorenschaft und Tradition verstanden werden kann.

Zum ersten Mal zeigte Michael Günzburger in New Delhi selber die daraus entstandenen Arbeiten, und präsentiert sie nun zusammen mit einer Einführung des indischen Künstlers Ravi Agarwal im Corner College.

Ausstellung / Präsentation
Graphic Design for and Against Cities
Axel John Wieder
 

"Salon de Recherche": Axel John Wieder, Curator Künstlerhaus Stuttgart (with Ruedi Baur, Miguel Robles-Duran, Vera Kockot, Jesko Fezer and Matthias Görlich)

The first Civic City Display in the Showcases of Corner College is centered around the question of a critical representation of urban issues. It presents graphic works by Zak Kyes and Metahaven.

"Graphic Design for and Against Cities" refers to the research exhibition by the Amsterdam based design collective Metahaven "Stadtstaat. A Scenario for Merging Cities", previously shown in Künstlerhaus Stuttgart and Casco, Utrecht, and the group exhibition "Dubai Düsseldorf" at Kunstverein für die Rheinlande und Westfalen, which included work by London graphic designer and publisher Zak Kyes. Around the same time in 2009, both exhibitions were concerned in different ways with imaginary merged cities as a phenomenon of globalization. The works of Metahaven and Zak Kyes deal with the potentials of visual communication in the representation of such cities as well as with the possibility of graphic critiques of strategies for urban marketing and its image politics.

Duration of the exhibition: 17.12.09–10.01.2010
