Wie beeinflusst das Leben im Spätkapitalismus unseren Körper und unsere Art Kunst zu machen? Was sind die Konsequenzen?
Diese ’work in process’- Performance, welche die Choreographin Bianca
Mendonca mit ihrer künstlerischen langzeit-Partnerin, Thaís de Alemeida

Deux de mes vidéos "Distúrbio no Vazio" (2009)
et "Movimento nº35 em Ré Menor, meu pé, meu sapato e o asfalto" (2008)
ceci fait avec ma chérie Paloma Oliveira seront projetés dans le festival "Vidéo Capitale".
Two of my videos "Distúrbio no Vazio" (2009) and "Movimento nº35 em Ré
Menor, meu pé, meu sapato e o asfalto" (2008) this one made with my
chérie Paloma Oliveira will be screened in the festival "Vidéo
Capitale".
"Vidéo Capitale is a contemporary art event showcasing
artist’s videos and short sets for a diverse audience. Every night at 5
p.m., village shop windows become filled with life from the full screen
films being shown inside and that is visible to pedestrians in the
street. The town and location are essential to a sublime and
entertaining viewing experience in which tributary worldviews circle the
art of life. The programming, purposefully left open, is composed of
different genres and influences in conjunction with architecture, dance,
documentaries and visual arts. The videos were made by young creators
as well as recognized artists, all engaged in art" ."
With the exhibition 'Property of a Private
Collection', Rachel Alliston presents three new works, products of the
artist’s recent research into philanthropist, horticulturalist and art
collector Bunny Mellon (1910-2014). Mellon was perhaps best known for
her design of the Rose Garden at the American White House. Together with
her husband, she also founded the Yale Center for British Art and
funded a significant extension to the National Gallery of Art in
Washington, D.C.
The central work of the exhibition is
Alliston’s 2016 video, which draws from diverse sources including
Mellon’s rare interviews, her husband’s published memoirs 'Reflections
in a Silver Spoon' (1992) and the autobiography of her father, 'All
Out of Step' (1956). The video was filmed on the premises of Decad,
Alliston’s not-for-profit art space in Berlin. A computer-generated
female voice provides a narrative thread recounting factual information
on Mellon’s life, while two actresses embody the semi-fictional
character as rendered by Alliston. An accompanying artist book is
comprised of various image materials, photographs documenting Mellon’s
life as well as the personal possessions which were sold by Sotheby’s
following her death, arranged into four auctions: fine art, jewelry,
furniture and real estate. Alliston’s third artwork takes the form of a
print based on botanical drawings in Mellon’s collection.
In
'Property of a Private Collection', Rachel Alliston creates a link
between worlds, between the sites of her own production as a
contemporary artist in Berlin and the legendary wealth and high society
of her protagonist. Questions arise around the power structures in which
artists and collectors are embedded, a right through ownership,
philanthropy as political intervention, privacy and publicity, authority
through knowledge acquisition and the historical role of women in both
artistic production and art collecting. An exhibition catalogue will be
presented on the closing day of the exhibition. In it, a number of
essays written by different authors will elaborate on, and depart from,
these themes of the exhibition.
