Open Space - Zentrum für Kunstprojekte opens its door to the public with ‘The Temporary Zones’, an exciting first project developed by the founder and director of Open Space, Gülsen Bal. The exhibition offers a space for exploration of current relations of and in predicated conflict and negotiation within cultural specific conditions. In pointing out the space of current relations the scope of the project allows an engagement of a space that identifies the transitional conditions and globalised flows where the temporal construct seemingly erases all its secrets and ambiguities. In a passage of an unstable world, this hunts for a moment of urgency towards facing the differential structures where the “politics of production” and a network of social discourse traverse by tracing cross-border dialogues. |
'Visiting Stalin' - a case study on Moscow's Izmailovo market by Networked Cultures - follows the myriad stories and histories around the site of the former Stalinets Stadium in Moscow-Izmailovo that today forms the empty inner zone of the sprawling Cherkizovsky Market. Three times the size of the Moscow Kremlin, the market supports Russia’s new millionaires as well as thousands of migrants from Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, China and extended Southeast Asia, who have come to seek work as stall-minders, carriers and tea-sellers. The project explores how markets function as a dynamic force that generates new forms of collective exchange, and how this process relates to the aesthetics of establishing new social orders. |

As part of Architecture: A Borderline Case, a thematic series of exhibitions, projects and educational programmes, the AGW has organized two major group exhibitions of contemporary art. Build Me Up/Tear Me Down: Provisional Structures and Contested Zones includes the work of twelve international and Canadian artists who examine the city as a constantly changing arena of architectural and social activity. Buildings seem so permanent that we often forget that they are really temporary structures, held together by social, political, and cultural activities. |
From photographs of trailers by Windsor-based photographer Brenda Francis Pelkey to the breathtaking image of the World Trade Centre disaster by New York artist Carolee Schneemann, this exhibition provides a range of perspectives on the ephemeral nature of the built environment. Several artists, including Vienna-based Sabine Bitter and Helmut Weber and Helge Mooshammer and Peter Mörtenböck from the UK, came to Windsor earlier in the year to create new work about our region. Other artists, including William Christenberry, who is from Washington D.C., and the mysterious Object Orange, a Detroit collective, photograph abandoned buildings in various states of decay. Botto and Bruno, from Turin, Italy, and Vancouver’s Jayce Salloum, examine the provisional structures of street culture, disaffected youth, and the homeless. |
