Colonel and the Yes Men
Colonel and the Yes Men at Gallery Poulsen, Copenhagen" WE HAVE TO RUN BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE "
Gallery Poulsen acts as a Headquarters where Thierry Geoffroy, in collaboration with an investigation team consisting of artists, journalists, and hired detectives, will create artworks that comment on everything that happens around them in the context of the international climate conference COP15 during the December month and all important issues like "RECESSION REGRESSION REPRESSION." In January, every day includes new strategies, and every day the exhibition will change form and content. The atmosphere in the gallery will most of all resemble that of a fire station. Artists, journalists and detectives are constantly ready to respond to new events and gather new evidence.
Among the guest-artists of Thierry Geoffroy's Artistes De Garde at Gallery Poulsen, is the activist artist duo The Yes Men. On http://www.emergencyrooms.org/garde.html you can keep up with which other artists might join the exhibition, or even which NGO. The site will be regularly updated.
THIERRY GEOFFROY / Colonel, is most known for his "Emergency Room" format. His work often incorporates a degree of unpredictability. Central to the philosophy of Thierry Geoffroy seems to be the concern that contemporary artists have an obligation to confront current thematics – "emergencies." This is especially evident in the Emergency Room and the Critical Run format whose goal is to train the collective " Awareness Muscle."
THE YES MEN is a group of "culture-jamming" activists who pose as corporate mouthpieces to draw media attention to vital issues of corporate accountability and free market "business as usual" thinking in our government and culture.
GALLERY POULSEN is a gallery for international contemporary art with a focus on the political and the challenging rather than the decorative and the complacent, exhibiting work that often breaks the ruling conventions of the art scene.
The Hypocrisy installation is supported by The Danish Arts Agency.

ARTexhibitionLink
Art Exhibition Link is a non-profit organization that was founded by Art Historian Barbara Goebels-Cattaneo. It introduces American Artists to Europe and European artists to the USA, organizing several exhibitions annually. The aim of ArtExhibitionLink is to put contemporary art in the widest possible context.
At ARTexhibitionLink Gallery UNO opens Brooke Barnett's show 'Fancy'. In her work the artist examines the term 'home' and turns her attention to the details that remind her of the domestic. Multilayered lace tablecloths become fragile and complex. Pillows burst with feathers arranged on the outside of ornamented fabric and the fabric becomes a canvas for the 'real' image of home. Here the inside is torn to the outside and the truths and tensions of the home are drawn to light. The symbols of former shelter become irritating objects that no longer fit nicely into a cosy room. Instead they must appear in the white cube of the gallery.
During: January 8 - February 5, 2010
Opening: Friday, January 8, 4.30 - 9.oo pm
Hours: Friday and Saturdays 4.30 - 7.30 pm

'If You Lived Here Still…'An archive project by
Martha Rosler
January 17 – March 14, 2010
Opening: January 16, 2010, 17.00
Open forum: January 17, 2010,
14.00–17.00

Nieuwekade 213-215
3511RW Utrecht
The Netherlands
http://www.cascoprojects.org
Casco's first project in the year in which it celebrates its 20th anniversary looks back at a project that took place 20 years ago on another continent. Organized as part of our year-long programme 'User's Manual: The Grand Domestic Revolution', Casco's contribution to Utrecht Manifest–Biennial for Social Design, this signals another step in exploring how critical art, design and cultural practice affect society.
In 1989-1991, artist Martha Rosler organized her project 'If You Lived Here…' at the Dia Art Foundation in New York City. 'If You Lived Here…' was a seminal group project on housing, homelessness and the systems and conditions underlying them such as gentrification, bureaucratic complicity or non-compliance and increasing privatisation of the public sector. It took a radical approach toward art and institutions of that time, in a mode that might be called cross-disciplinary and "participatory". The archive project by Martha Rosler at Casco, initiated by Anton Vidokle and first presented at e-flux's New York space last autumn, provides an opportunity to revisit Rosler's undertaking and interrogate its legacy. Besides the archival materials that expose the organisational and research processes behind the project, more research documents that Rosler has assembled or solicited others to contribute over the last 20 years are installed for close reading at Casco. These also include new materials gathered in Utrecht.
Martha Rosler and her practice since the late 60's have become essential references for socially engaged art practice and critical feminist positions. Through her numerous works and projects, traversing diverse working methods from documentary to performative, literary to organisational, Rosler has progressively sought ways to reconnect the private and public spheres, domestic space and media culture and the urban environment in confrontation with shifting political and economic realities. 'If You Lived Here…' forms part of this practice but stands out for its complex array of activities, consisting of a cycle of three exhibitions, a book, open forums and public events such as film screenings and poetry readings.
The project was remarkable in involving diverse groups of people — artists, advocacy and activist groups, homeless people, community groups, schoolchildren, architects, urban planners and journalists —, many of whom were already dealing with the questions the project raised. In defiance of the territorial question of art versus non-art, a number of visual materials, ranging from painting, photography, videos, newspapers, advertisements and data graphs to architectural models and temporary offices and library spaces, filled the exhibition hall. The exhibition programme went beyond the usual "art gallery pattern." Rather than it being a contemplative field for a set of objects and documentary representations, 'If You Lived Here…' transformed the gallery into a terrain that supported participation and intervention and thus created a new situation of collective empowerment, no matter how fleeting.
How could such a thing [homelessness, displacement] be happening – particularly now, as the Western mass media are gloating over the collapse of the Soviet model of communism and victory of "our way of life"? … And what can be done?
- from the introductory essay by Martha Rosler in the book If You Lived Here: The City in Art, Theory and Social Activism (1991)
After two decades, now that this victory is not self-evident any longer and new articulations of "communism" are called for, these questions resonate more strongly than ever. It is a good moment to take another careful look at 'If You Lived Here…'.
Open forum 17 January, 14.00-17.00
In the spirit of continuation of the form of public discussion in 'If You Lived Here…', an open forum will take place after the opening to share the history of the project as well as to develop a comparative view between past and present, between the US context and Utrecht and elsewhere in the post-welfare conditions of Europe. Participants include Martha Rosler, Anton Vidokle and Binna Choi, with guests including artist Marion von Osten, architect Andreas Muller, artist Graziela Kunsch and Friso Wiersum & Margot Ellenbruk, organizers of the Hidden City project in Utrecht.
About Casco
Casco, Office for Art, Design and Theory, established in 1990 in Utrecht, is committed to the production and presentation of cross-disciplinary projects and "participatory" activities initiated with artists, designers and writers. Its primary focus is on the areas where art, design and theory intersect to form critical, imaginative and collaborative inquiries into our social and physical environment.
The Casco programme is generously supported by the Mondriaan Foundation and the Utrecht City Council. 'If You Lived Here Still…' at Casco is made possible with kind support from the K.F. Hein Fund, Utrecht Manifest and Utrecht Consortium.
Please note that on Sunday 10 January, the last day of 'Shapes, Dimensions, Possibilities', a project by Mirjam Thomann, Casco is organizing 'A Day of Colour: The Infinite Attribute' whereby our contributors, including Mirjam Thomann, graphic designer James Goggin and writer and artist Kristina Lee Podesva, present their investigation into the modes in which colour functions in the contemporary visual cultural realm—its culturalization, commodification or any other adoption—as inspiration for the process of selecting the new colour for 'Shack and Fence', Casco's interior structure.

January 2010 in Artforum
This month in Artforum: Artist and critic John Miller has long been recognized for unpacking our day's prevailing artistic approaches—to say nothing of the seemingly inexhaustible detritus of culture at large—but only this past fall was he finally the subject of a comprehensive survey, at the Kunsthalle Zürich. For the occasion, Matt Keegan ruminates on the ruins, mannequins, and rummaging on Canal Street that compose the material substrata of Miller's work, while the artist himself reflects on the kunsthalle's retrospective look.
"Most people identify with the potato!" —John Miller
Also: Art historian Anne M. Wagner sheds light on Anne Truitt's retrospective at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, DC, discussing the ways in which this artist has eluded both categorization and sustained critical reception; and curator Helen Molesworth examines Marcel Duchamp's Étant donnés as it was presented anew at the Philadelphia Museum of Art with supplementary archival material never before displayed.
"The sort of seeing that's in question for Truitt doesn't function punctually; it is all about contingency, the how and when of a comprehension that can arrive only gradually." —Anne M. Wagner
"I have always secretly found accounts of Étant donnés, with their insistence on 'desire + looking = voyeurism' as the work's primary equation, a bit academic. The work's intense radicality, indeed its consummate mystery, seemed to elude such formulations. —Helen Molesworth
And: Lynda Benglis offers another private history, extracting Polaroids from her 1974–75 "Secret" series to compose a new project for Artforum, titled Klaus 1975 and introduced here by art historian Richard Meyer.
"Benglis approaches secrecy not as a mode of absolute concealment but rather as a form of private knowledge that may be rendered in visual terms so as to be shared with others. In this sense, Secrets is neither scandalous nor meaningless. It is instead a reminder that the texture and syntax of everyday life may also be the makings of art." —Richard Meyer

"Most people identify with the potato!" —John Miller
Also: Art historian Anne M. Wagner sheds light on Anne Truitt's retrospective at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, DC, discussing the ways in which this artist has eluded both categorization and sustained critical reception; and curator Helen Molesworth examines Marcel Duchamp's Étant donnés as it was presented anew at the Philadelphia Museum of Art with supplementary archival material never before displayed.
"The sort of seeing that's in question for Truitt doesn't function punctually; it is all about contingency, the how and when of a comprehension that can arrive only gradually." —Anne M. Wagner
"I have always secretly found accounts of Étant donnés, with their insistence on 'desire + looking = voyeurism' as the work's primary equation, a bit academic. The work's intense radicality, indeed its consummate mystery, seemed to elude such formulations. —Helen Molesworth
And: Lynda Benglis offers another private history, extracting Polaroids from her 1974–75 "Secret" series to compose a new project for Artforum, titled Klaus 1975 and introduced here by art historian Richard Meyer.
"Benglis approaches secrecy not as a mode of absolute concealment but rather as a form of private knowledge that may be rendered in visual terms so as to be shared with others. In this sense, Secrets is neither scandalous nor meaningless. It is instead a reminder that the texture and syntax of everyday life may also be the makings of art." —Richard Meyer

Magenta Deadline Extended to 01/17/10
If you haven't submitted, here's your chance! See below for announcement:
As has sometimes happened in previous years, so many people tried to submit at once on the day of the deadline that some of them could not get through, or experienced random errors.
In order to ease the crunch and allow everyone who has been trying to submit to get their work in, the deadline has been extended to Jan 17, 2010. This should allow the remaining submissions to be spread over a longer time and ease the load on the server, but if you still encounter any sort of trouble, please e-mail support@magentafoundation.org and let us know.
We had been really hoping not to have to extend the deadline again this year, but it looks like life had other plans. So... those of you considering submitting now have a little over two more weeks in which to do it. But we very strongly recommend NOT waiting until the 17th to submit — having so many people wait until the last day is what tends to cause problems.
