Ahmet Öğüt: Exploded City / MATRIX 231

January 24, 2010 - April 11, 2010

Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive BAM/PFA, California

With Exploded City, Ahmet Öğüt envisions an imaginary metropolis comprising buildings, monuments, and vehicles that have figured in acts of violence and terrorism over the past two decades. Structures from Turkey, Ireland, India, Yugoslavia, Great Britain, and the United States, among other countries, form a unified urban scale model, reconstructing these sites in the moments before they were destroyed. The installation, originally commissioned for the Turkish Pavilion at the 2009 Venice Biennale, is accompanied by a text situating the included locations within a Calvinoesque narrative that engages the poetics and politics of space, architecture, violence, and international relations. Paraphrasing Calvino’s Invisible Cities, Öğüt presents visible but “semi-anonymous” buildings, whose intact form may be forgotten while the aftermaths of their destruction are seared into the collective consciousness via the media and individual consciousnesses via personal experience. The collapsing of time and distance in this collection of models is echoed by the vehicles—also used in terrorism, but referencing as well Öğüt’s ongoing interest in distance, time, and speed, measures by which our relationship to reality is shaped and through which disparate lands are connected.

From this central installation, the exhibition expands to other works. The film Things We Count pans slowly across the retired fighter planes at an airplane graveyard in Arizona’s Sonoran desert, as a voice counts them one by one in Kurdish, Turkish, and English. This counting, in the languages of faraway lands, connects the planes in their U.S. resting place to their actions in the larger world.

Öğüt recently had solo exhibitions at Künstlerhaus Bremen; Centre d’Art Santa Mònica, Barcelona; and Kunsthalle Basel. His work was also recently included in group exhibitions at Museum of Modern Art, Warsaw; De Appel, Amsterdam; New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York; Malmö Konsthall, Sweden; Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, the Netherlands; and the Berlin Biennale. This is the artist’s first solo exhibition in the United States. Born in Turkey in 1981, Öğüt lives and works in Amsterdam.

An exhibition curated by: Alberto Martín
Auto. Sueño y Materia is organized by CA2M Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo and Laboral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial

Auto. Sueño y material, examines the influence of the car in contemporary art. With over one hundred works by sixty artists from Spain and further afield, the exhibition throws light on the relationship between car culture and art over recent decades. The vast majority of the works presented come from the last two decades but with a heavy accent on the current moment, a period in which the reading of the car from an art perspective took on such density and complexity as well as critical perspective and detached biting wit. The automobile has been, and indeed still is, one of the most effective media for the material embodiment of dreams. And now, artists are questioning the reality of those dreams.

On Oct. 3 the Museum launches its feature project - "Warszawa w budowie" - "Warsaw under construction", a trailer of a new festival focused on designing. The trigger for this event was the City of Warsaw's request to have a new design festival. The Museum proposed to debate it's formula - is bringing beautiful objects into an ugly city worth the effort. Shouldn't we discuss the quality of the urban space instead? During the forthcoming two months of exbibitions and talks the Museum is looking for answers, how to redesign the public space in Warsaw in order to make it better.

The EXHIBITION presented at the Museum’s temporary HQ and in the neighbouring locations (the pedestrian passage in front of it, the Honorary Tribune on the Defilad Sq. and inside the Palace of Culture) comprises of works by artists, who relate their practice to design and urban planning and who borrow from their languages. They offer no solutions, do not yield to the demand for functionality. Instead, they bring into focus the particularities of Central-European urban space. The key-words to that world are: temporariness, decay, non-durability, anarchy, the validity of urban utopias. Where complex solutions are bound to fail, makeshift replaces designing and becomes an alternative way of satisfying needs. Temporariness, remaining half-way characterizes Warsaw just as other metropolises of the dynamically developing regions – Asia, Middle East or Latin America.
