Thomas Hirschhorn: PIXEL – COLLAGE in Aarhus ….
Thomas Hirschhorn mit Pixel-Collage in der Kunsthalle Aarhus ab 20.Januar 2017 und: J20 ART STRIKE
In Aarhus http://kunsthalaarhus.dk zeigt der grosse in Paris lebende – gebürtige Schweizer – Künstler Arbeiten in Zusammenhang mit der zunehmenden Gesichtslosigkeit in den Medien. Aber nicht nur dort…
Mit Pixel Collage hebt er die Relevanz dieses Phänomens hervor. Mithin erscheint diese Entwicklung frappant.
Zu Eröffnung der Fondation Vincent van Gogh in Arles würdigte Thomas Hirschhorn den Maler mit einem feinen Ausstellungsbeitrag, später präsentierten Monographien etwa Bremen’s Kunsthalle http://www.kunsthalle-bremen.de/ (Thomas Hirschhorn.Nachwirkung) und das Pariser Palais de Tokyo http://www.palaisdetokyo.com (Flamme Ésternell) – und der schweizerische Pavillon anlässlich der Biennale in Venedig https://prohelvetia.ch/de/dossier/biennalen-venedig/ (Chrystal of Resistance) ein weiteres monumentales Werk, stets der Kritik an Entwicklungen und Verhältnissen in der Gesellschaft den richtigen Raum zu geben.
Thomas Hirschhorns Appell ist folgerichtig:
„…. ART STRIKE
Tomorrow, Friday January 20., Nomination Day, I will do Art Strike. I will do Art Strike as a simple, humble but nevertheless engaged gesture.
– I will do Art Strike tomorrow because, as an artist, I know that Art – all Art of all times and all places – crosses borders. That Art – all Art of all times and all places – addresses a nonexclusive audience in all circumstances. That Art – all Art of all times and all places – never builds walls, never establishes borders or imagines separations. Art is inclusive. Art, because it’s Art, is universal. Universality means Justice, Equality, the Other, Truth. I want to remain truthful.
– I will do Art Strike tomorrow in solidarity with all my artist friends from America and abroad who do Art Strike, with all my art-historian and art-critic friends from America and abroad who do Art Strike, and with all my gallery friends, institutions and art space friends from America and abroad who do Art Strike. I want to signify: You are not alone and I know: I am not alone.
– I will do Art Strike tomorrow because I have to pay the price myself therefore first, which is the only way to give a real sense to a strike, a protest or a boycott. I have to pay the price because tomorrow I will not do what I love most to do: My artwork. And I have to pay the price because I will not celebrate an important event to me: The opening of my exhibition “Pixel-Collage” at ‘Kunsthal Aarhus’, Aarhus, Denmark, and I am happy ‘Kunsthal Aarhus’ joined – as institution – the Art Strike as well. Thomas Hirschhorn, Aarhus, January, 19th.“
