Lucas Herzig: SAFARI

The publication SAFARI was published on the occasion of Lucas Herzig‘s exhibition «espesso intendo sempre» as the Manor Art Prize of Ticino 2022, at MASILugano

The publication takes the reader on a journey through Switzerland – together with curator Francesca Benini and photographer Mattia Angelini the artist visits several places which played an important role in his life. The journey is accompanied by a conversation between Lucas Herzig and Francesca Benini, in which we learn more about the artist and his practice which is mainly shaped by discovering and collecting. Again and again the journey is interrupted by collected and scanned objects.
Printed only on grey paper, the publication invites us not just to look and read but to discover.

Please join us this Thursday 1.12.2022 for the Book Launch and Presentation of “Speculative Grounds – Positions on Beijing’s urban transformation”
6pm, at House of Books, Anwandstrasse 30, 8004 Zürich

www.houseofbooks.ch

For the book launch of “Speculative Grounds – Positions on Beijing’s Transformation” in Zurich, we invite you to take a walk-through Greater Beijing’s urban transformation. We will give glimpses into the works developed by an interdisciplinary group of artists, researchers, architects, and many others within the research project Beijing22 that was initiated by the curators Antonie Angerer, Anna-Viktoria Eschbach and photographer Jannis Schulze.

The response of Beijing’s committee “No Snow, No Problem” to wondering journalists on how the Winter Olympics of Beijing would be able to take place in such a snow scarce place, marked the starting point for the project, choosing 2022 as a timeframe to investigate the urban changes happening until and because of the Winter Olympics. The proclamation of making the impossible possible was a glimpse into the drastic transformation Greater Beijing was and is experiencing. The lecture will travel to future cities, searching for green mushrooms, while hearing from different social worlds about their dreams, their experiences and the reality of living sandwiched between what has already been lost and the yet to come.

Next to book launch the zine “Beijing Mushroom” (2022) by Yu Gong, Zhangbolong Liu and Yu-Cheng Hsiao that was published in collaboration between Beijing22 and Standard Stoppage will be available. A zine that is looking at the green mushrooms that fulfil an obsession about the mysterious urban landscape of Beijing.

M. Paradoxa is a collective of female artists whose name relates to the single mixotricha paradoxa or, as Lynn Margulis would say, "the beast with five genes." He originated from a symbiosis of different life forms, from close coexistence in a vast sea of unexpected encounters and lives in the gut of an Australian termite.

The exhibition tackles the concept of "S-motion", a description of the hostage movement of Mixotricha paradoxa, which is made possible by two types of bacteria to explore "ways of each other". What S-Motions Are There In Collaboration? How do you learn from each other? What types of dynamics, challenge and solution can arise?

With M. Paradoxa,, Sabian Baumann, , Balca Ergener, Moritz Finkbeiner .fink, Ulrika Jäger , Ziqi Jiang, Chantal Küng, Valentina Pini , Alex Martinis Roe, , , .schibli & & Maria Rosaria Valentini , , .straehl, ( , ) and VOLUMES Archive

A thing of beauty is a joy forever –
Fair Enough Pop-Up, Beijing 2021

Time: May 9th 2021, 3pm
Place: postpost, Yangrou Hutong 58, Xicheng District, 西城区羊肉胡同58号

We are excited to invite everyone to the Fair Enough Pop-Up event and exhibition opening of "A thing of beauty is a joy forever" and the China launch of "Spreadsheet 1-21" this coming Sunday at postpost space.

Exhibition: A thing of beauty is a joy forever
Opening: May 9th
May 9th-29th

The double presentation “A thing of beauty is a joy forever” will present a sound installation of “I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s ok” by Michael Bodenmann in collaboration with Bit-tuner and new paintings by Liang Hao.

The record “I haven’t been everywhere but it’s ok” by Michael Bodenmann & Bit-Tuner is the memory of a performance that happened at LAB47 in Beijing in November 2015. On opening night visitors gathered on Bodenmann’s “Flat Fantasy Landscapes” listening to the atmospheric sound performance produced by Bit-Tuner that evening. The 45 min sound-piece became part of the installation after its opening, then only accessible from the outside of the glass door. Sound fragments that are reminiscent of that heard in waiting rooms or elevators were mixed with synth sounds and beats. These places of transition are characterized by their state of waiting to arrive. A re-translation of the publication into a Hutong space, creates entanglements of the imagined and the experienced space. The Beijing presentation of Michael Bodenmann’s publication with tria continues the story of fantasy islands in our current times of transition.

In dialogue to Michael’s sound installation, new paintings of Liang Hao will be presented. The new paintings of books represent the friendships, inspirations and intimate lines of thoughts accompanying the artists in his studio. Michael, a good friend of Hao, and other friends of I: project space appear in the paintings.

China Launch of "Spreadsheet 1–21"

The 9th will be the China launch of the publication Spreadsheets 1–21, that grew out of a collaborative project initiated by tria in 2020, when the global pandemic raised new questions our global entanglements.

Spreadsheet is a collection of artist’s writings reflecting on the present moment. Spreadsheet brings together artists from across the globe to give glimpses into their research and thought processes; how these current global conditions can be understood and analyzed, and how to potentially overcome certain disruptive aspects of a hyper-connected time created. The series of writings was published throughout the year 2020 from different modes of isolation via tria’s website to download and print at home. Spreadsheet 1-21 brings together the collection of all 21 publications with an exclusive artist edition by Lotte Meret Effinger.

Spreadsheet grew out of what feels like an unprecedented moment of uncertainty, amplified precarity, resurgent nationalism and national mindsets, and little or no assurance of what our collective futures might entail. By assembling multiple, overlapping voices, we are creating a collective voice of this time. We must listen together in and out of this time.

Fair Enough:

The newest publications by Swiss independent publishing platforms Boabooks, edition fink, Jungle Books, and tria publishing platform will be available.

Fair Enough tries to continue building encounters and exchange through printed matter by appearing in different locations around the world. We are excited by the invitation of 3standardstoppage and really looking forward to seeing everyone on Sunday!

The print of Spreadsheet 1–21 was made possible with the help of the Embassy of Switzerland in Beijing.
