PAVLOS

AnnualArt Magazine — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 15:16:56 +0000

Pavlos was born in the Peloponnese in 1930. Since the 1960s he has pioneered a special technique that enables him to go beyond painting, using very thin sheets of paper (cut from advertising posters) to construct amazing three-dimensional objects. Each involves reconstructed everyday items with slightly modified scales and colours. The poetic works which result lend new enchantment to the world, and question the relationship between sculpture and portrayal. The multiple Pavlos has conceived for ANNUAL takes a Tree as its theme. He has constructed a mock still-life that exploits deliberately reinvented scales and colours – as if the act of sculpting consists above all of lending a new dimension to everyday motifs, one dependent both on our immediate environment and on the symbolization which makes us look to art in order to rediscover what lies at the heart of our dreams.

Robert Greubel & Stephen Forsey are artists whose working material is Time. Far from constructing mere objects – high-precision watches in their case – they have ventured along the path of art by imagining highly unusual works, combining philosophical research with incredibly precise and complex techniques, all within the same movement. The end result: ground-breaking and unclassifiable works of art.

Mounir FATMI

AnnualArt Magazine — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 06:23:23 +0000

The boxed edition which the internationally renowned Mounir Fatmi has prepared for ANNUAL presents a synthesis of many years of research in a single work. Mixology amplifies the tension between the abstract beauty of Arab calligraphy and the reality of sound. The famous surah Al-Ikhlas, about the one-ness of God, is inscribed on the disc.

Hans-Peter FELDMANN

AnnualArt Magazine — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 05:39:51 +0000

$100,000: that was the sum total of the dollar bills pinned to the walls of New York’s Guggenheim Museum in a work by Hans-Peter Feldmann, the winner of the Hugo Boss Prize 2010. The greenbacks were perfectly aligned, like works of art – yet they were only worth what society decided they were worth as Feldmann, one of Germany’s most influential artists, questioned the value of art.

Feldmann first appeared on the art scene at the end of the 1960s, composing and exhibiting albums made up of random images like postcards, newspaper cuttings and posters, which he classified in highly personal series. If any series was incomplete, Feldmann took photos of the missing subjects himself, thereby exploring the arcanes of everyday life. To him, the world of images which surrounds us is no more than an expression of our desires. Collecting and arranging them helps the main themes emerge, defining stereotyped portrayals of reality.

Sudarshan SHETTY

AnnualArt Magazine — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 05:28:27 +0000

‘My work consists of helping tradition co-exist with modernity’ says Sudarshan Shetty, now firmly esta-blished on the international scene as one of India’s most innovative contemporary artists. He was born in Bombay (now Mumbai) in 1961, and trained initially as a painter before gradually concentrating on sculpture and installations which involve everyday items, skeletons, body parts and mechanical elements – and seek to invite meditation about the relationship between the living and the inanimate, between spi-rituality and consumerism.

His hybrid constructions question the merging of Indian and Western tradition, and also addresses domestic preoccupations and the concept of movement. Take his disturbingly distorted wooden automobile, finely carved in the Indian handicraft tradition. As it slowly rotates, the car evokes an archeological find, raising many questions about the accident – and the civilization – that produced it. This animat-ed object created from living material generates a sensation of absence and loss.

Fredrik VAERSLEV

Fredrik Værslev was born in 1979 in the Norwegian coastal town of Moss, and studied art in nearby Oslo, then at the Konsthögskolan (art academy) in Malmö and the Städelschule in Frankfurt. Since 2008 he has been at the helm of Landings 1, an artist-run project space in Vestfossen, 60km west Oslo. His early work included ‘swap’ paintings made with other artists, including his mother Anne Britt and the Welsh-born Conceptualist Dan Rees – who also collaborated in his Shelf Paintings in 2009, shown at the Standard gallery in Oslo. These were abstract works in spray-paint on plywood, with a wooden shelf mounted underneath as a platform for the collaborating artist to decorate. To Værslev, ‘Decorating is an act of chance. Putting the finishing touches to a painting intrigues me, especially in terms of it leading to some kind of a visual climax. In the shelf paintings that climax was made by another artist’s decorative touch.’
