Two Sides of the Same Coin

2011-05-29T02:48:00.001-07:00

We invite you the participate in the final contemporary art event at Y3K Gallery, Melbourne

On the last day of the final project for Y3K from 6pm to 8pm we would like to invited you to purchase one or many of a series of Collaborative painting by James Deutsher and Christopher L G Hill. The series "two sides of the same coin" begun during the Y32K Bienalle, and are again made available. Being that Y3K has run without government or private funding, in a non-comercial capacity, on a project by project basis, supported mainly by the running of studios and our own financial negotiations, we are faced with a significant invoice to clear in order to shut the space down. This new series of collaborative paintings act as lasting 'mementos' of the project and will be set at a very humble flat rate asking price of $250. The paintings are available to view online and measure 900mm x 1200mm and are on a range of boards including MDF, ply and masonite. If you would like to buy one from the site, please email y3kgallery@gmail.com with an image of the work you would like to buy. For pre-orders, works will need to be paid for before 5:30pm on Saturday 4 June, or they will become available for sale again at the closing event. We would ask you to consider the value of Y3K over the last two years and also the genius of these collaborative works and commit to buying one, bring cash to the event! Everyone's a winner, baby, thats no lie! Lets not forget what happened here. Thank you everyone for your support over the last two years, Y3K is dead, viva Y3K.

The First & Final Y3K Second (third) Inaugural Melbourne Biennial of International Arts

2011-05-09T04:02:00.000-07:00

The First & Final Y3K Second (third) Inaugural Melbourne Biennial of International Arts

14 May – 4 June

Opening Saturday 14th May 6-8pm

The Y3K Biennial is a curatorial project developed by Joshua Petherick, James Deutsher, and Christopher L G Hill that features the work of 6 artists from Australia, and 6 artists from elsewhere. It serves as a continuation of both the first, and only, Melbourne Biennial ‘Signs of Life’ (1999), and the second, Y2K artist initiated Biennial (2008), also held in Melbourne. The Y3K Biennial looks at the extension of events and spaces in a lateral and literal sense address the importance of exchange between the Melbourne and Australian contemporary art context with that of our International peers in an open non-formal way, based on the quality of the work and artists participating. With Y3K’s anterior Biennial (the Y2K artist initiated Biennial (2008)) having served as the non-official inaugural Y3K exhibit, the new Y3K Biennial (“title”) will take it’s place as the final exhibition of Y3K’s Melbourne gallery space (2009-2011), positioning the two Biennials as symbolic bookends to the Y3K project.

LOSTprojects 'Salvation in a Nest of Vipers'

2011-04-09T19:45:00.000-07:00

SALVATION IN A NEST OF VIPERS: LOSTprojects Manila in Y3K

Salvation in a nest of vipers is about the other side of Manila completely opposed to the photorealist trend, and rising above the picturesque. The artists making up the group exhibition are inclined towards the glut of the city, opening up a space where imagination takes a toll from the substance it springs from. It is in this space where the painters exhaust imagery in a primal and sophisticated visual language, and conjures parallel tableaux of blatant debauchery not very far from actual parades of perversions. Photography in Salvation in a nest of vipers meanwhile are straight shots of underworlds and underbellies, marking a horizon line of recoil and attraction.

About LOSTprojects

LOSTprojects is an alternative art space situated in Industrial Vallery Marikina, off track from cultural strips and commercial districts in Metro Manila. LOSTprojects is dedicated to building a more engaged community of artists, curators and alternative art spaces. It is an expanded platform of exchange primarily among artists in Manila and Australia. Likewise it exists to promote artists, who are involved in its projects, within and beyond these two regions.

Founded by Australian artist David Griggs, who has been based in Manila since early 2009, LOSTprojects was officially established through its successful participation in VOLTA6 (Basel, Switzerland) in June 2010. It was inaugurated on 1 July 2010 with its first resident artist, Pow Martinez. Since then, it has held exhibitions by Martinez, Ben Quilty and recently, Sam Kiyoumarsi.

LOSTprojects is run by David Griggs and independent curator/ art writer Siddharta Perez.

About the artists

David Griggs (b. 1975)

David Griggs was born in Sydney, 1975. He currently lives and works in Manila, Philippines. Griggs known best for his paintings, photography and installation projects works closely with various communities and artists. Creating highly active political humorous projects that have dealt with the incarceration of inmates from Manila City Jail to Halloween festivals with street kids in Santa Mesa.

Griggs’ works have been exhibited in major solo and group exhibitions through-out Australia, South East Asia and Europe. Selected exhibitions include “Exchanging Culture for Flesh” (2006) at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, “Zombie Kiss” (2009) in Uplands Gallery, Melbourne, “Bastards of Misrepresentation: Doing Time on Filipino Time” (2010) in Freies Museum, Berlin and “Inversion of the Ideal” (2010) in Galerie Zimmerman-Kratochwill, Graz, Austria. He was part of the Primavera 2006 in the Museum of Contempoary Art in Sydney and “Fluid Zones”, the 2009 Jakarta Biennale.

Sam Kiyoumarsi (b.1980)

Sam Kiyoumarsi is a photographer mainly influenced by contemprorary practices in sound and visual expression. He started out as an underground musician and later on developed his interest in films, still imagery, paintings, and the visual arts.

Kiyoumarsi was represented by LOSTprojects in Volta6 Basel, Switzerland in 2010 and was featured in the group show “Absolute Winter” in Charlotte Fogh Contemporary, Denmark. He has participated in exhibitions in galleries and alternative art spaces in Manila since 2006 and recently had his solo exhibitions “A History of Bad Ideals” in Mo_space and “Inalienable Dreamless” in LOSTprojects. Kiyoumarsi runs Light and Space, an independent art space in Fairview, Metro Manila, with Pow Martinez.

Robert Langenegger (b. 1983)

Robert Langenegger studied Fine Arts in Kalayaan College and University of the Philippines. He has had six solo exhibition since 2006. His works have been featured in Freies Museum Berlin, MOP Projects Sydney, VOLTA6 in Basel and Goliath Visual Space in Brooklyn. His exhibition “Irish Bull of the mother and child” was shortlisted in the 2008 Ateneo Art Awards. He was also a Finalist in the Sovereign Asian Art Prize in the same year.

Langenegger's works are described to be “phantasmagoric carnivals of hallucinogenic, carnal carnage.” Gritty imagery are juxtaposed with cool, vapid scenery. The themes in oeuvre run from the “psychadelia of current events and world politics [to] art history, colonial reverberations and religion.”

Pow Martinez (b. 1983)

Pow Martinez studied Fine Arts at Kalayaan College and at the University of the Philippines. He has been involved in the local sound art scene aside from his four solo exhibitions in Manila. His works has been featured in exhibitions in Richard Koh Fine Art, Future Prospects, mo_space, Silverlens Lab and Freies Museum, Berlin. His exhibition in West Gallery in 2009 earned him the 2010 Ateneo Art Awards. He is also the first artist to be bestowed the studio grant in LOSTprojects. Martinez runs Light and Space, an independent art space in Fairview, Metro Manila.

Martinez creates multi-media sound installations as well as expressionistic paintings. He often paints figures in a fetishistically naïve style exploring the terrain of man’s inhumanity to man and primitive mythologies in a hard-hitting and overtly humorous way. His music and sound installations reflect the same obsession with the outrageous as his music comes from the tradition of the avant-garde.

MM Yu (b. 1978)

MM Yu received her Bachelor of Fine Arts, Major in Painting, from the University of the Philippines in 2001. The 13 Artists Awards was bestowed unto her in 2009 and the Ateneo Art Award and Common Room Bandung Residency Grant in 2007. She has held solo exhibitions in Metro Manila and her works have been featured in group and survey exhibitions such as “Bastards of Misrepresentation” (2010) in Freies Museum Berlin, “Inversion of the Ideal” (2010) in Galeria Zimmerman-Kratochwill in Graz, Austria, “This and That” (2009) in Triple Base, San Francisco as well as in the travelling exhibitions “CUT09: New Photography from Southeast Asia” (2009) and “Beyond Frame: Philippine Photomedia” (2008)

Austria, Berlin, Kuala Lumpur, San Francisco and Singapore.

Yu's photography-based works embark on an experiment where the photograph embodies both the intentional and accidental, the found and the perceived.

'October Jr'

If the success of a model depends on it's resemblance to a source then how much less than the thing itself does a model have to be? If a model is always something like it's source isn't it always also something more, namely a model? The argument, I suppose, is that a model is more in total than anything it could represent: it has to be both an abstraction of another thing (1/2) and it's own thing in it's own right (1). That's the math. A model of a thing is 1 1/2 times more of a thing than the whole original thing. I'd like to show you all this new 3/4 scale model of October 12 that I made.

Steve Kado will present October Jr. at Y3K during our opening on Saturday the 6th of November at 7pm.

Speech and What Archive?

Two events on Saturday 17 April from 4:30 to 6 at Y3K (205 Young St. Fitzroy)

Geoff Flottante

In September 2009, the first workshop of Speech & What Archive was organised on La Maison Flottante in Chatou, France. Geoff Lowe introduced it with a lecture. Liv Barrett & Marie Gautier will try to re-give this lecture by mind.

Speech & What Archive? Speaking Event

As a work of civic collection, at a time when our future is being destroyed, ACW and the curators of Melbourne Flottante would like to invite you to participate in a Speaking Event in the Melbourne room.

You are invited to present any avowal around this subject of Speech and What Archive - what-can-we-say, what-will-we-keep in a short text, speech, performance, song, action or reading of up to 5 minutes.

Your presentation does not necessarily have to address contemporary art, it can be about the environment, garbage, media, politics, whatever-you-want. At a time when artists pay-to-say-what-they-want we offer this free platform.

Documentation of the event will be shown during a similar public event, Explaining contemporary art to live eels #6, for the closing of the exhibition Double Bind at Villa Arson, 29 and 30 May . On the last day of this weekend ACW's eels will be the released back into the Pallion river in Nice.

Some people including Veronica Kent and Sean Peoples, Lizzy Newman Jon Campbell, Jarrod Rawlins, Keith Al-Hasani, Ruby Lowe and Justin Clemens have already confirmed their participation but feel free to come and speak as well.

Speech and What Archive? Melbourne Flottante
Speech and What Archive? began on a floating house on a river in Chatou at the invitation of A Constructed World.
In Melbourne Flottante, we continue to consider what is kept and why it is kept, how things may be mapped, traced or stored, the possible shape and content of an archive, who may speak and what is kept unsaid, and generally what is privileged in culture so that it is available to the future.
The exhibition is composed of a presentation element, where objects that in some way act as archives will be exhibited at Y3K, and archive development, where the curators will work on methodologies of archiving and re-presentation for the duration of the show.

Speech and What Archive? Melbourne Flottante is curated by Marie Gaultier and Anna Hess (Paris) and Liv Barrett and James Deutsher (Melbourne) with the support and counsel of A Constructed World.

Speech and What Archive is a project of A Constructed World. This project was made possible with funding and support from Vision Forum and Linköping University; CNEAI, Chatou; Social Practice MFA Program, CCA, San Francisco; and Villa Arson, Nice.

Wellness Architecture

Wellness Architecture - despite being the name of a naturopathy clinic in Meleno Park California - is as ambiguous as any other attempt at labeling a style. Arguably the flagship examples of Wellness Architecture are Mario Botta’s Tschuggen Bergoase Wellness Centre at Arosa and Matteo Thun’s Vigilius Mountain Resort in Italy’s Alto Adige region. Botta’s - with its leaf-life skylights protruding from the mountainside under which the cool calm elemental grey surfaces of the bathing/healing pool sit - produces a complete space for the practice of wellness. The origin of the Wellness Centre is one of homemade architecture, horoscopes, ecology, bamboo screens, and chanting mantras. From the Maldives to Daylesford via Alto Adige, Wellness Architecture is a culture of homemade architecture, where seagrass matting, bamboo screening, polished river rocks and dribbling 12-volt fountains sit modestly, minimally and effortlessly within awkward and adoring architectural pastiches of Eurasian parentage, and sleek white-moulded plastic subterranean interiors of carefully lit pools and corridors are uncomfortably influenced by a combination of Japanese bathhouses and contemporary prisons. From a space where fisherman’s pants and prAna shirts T’ai Chi the rising sun, to one where crisp white shirts and black aprons serve life changing Goji Matcha tea on mirror pools overlooking coral reefs. The plain and simple nature of recent Wellness Architecture has its obvious links to modernism but it is the homemadeness of these spaces that provides the healing aura. It is not a quaint folksy homemadeness, quite the opposite in fact. Even the most amateur and frugal wellness architect relies on a history and culture of meaning constructed by a sleight of hand use of materials to produce a sensory subterfuge. This is a culture of the self-made, the self-guided. It is about changing circumstances by subscribing possibilities that are conventionally awkward and culturally irresponsible.

Pickups, Magic Mountain, Home, Okay, A pretty intense long drawn out game.

text

September is the first month of spring, which is the most changeable
season of the year. A full range of weather may be experienced within
a few days, from warm, calm and sunny to cold, windy and showery.
There are several cloudy to overcast days. September is another windy
month. Most strong winds are from the north, these often occur on the
warmer days. There also are occasionally strong cold southwest winds
with showery weather. The temperature usually reaches the mid-20s for
the first time since April. Nights are cool, frost is fairly rare, and
the lowest temperature for the month in the city being about 4ºC. Fog
is uncommon. Rainfall is higher in spring than in winter, falling on
one day in two. There are days with only a little drizzle or a light
shower but heavy rain falls occasionally.

How did you work this out?

Last night I was listening to this song about sleeping. And I realised that even though I was completely awake, I somehow couldn't properly remember the day before. And then when I thought about it, it was like I'd been awake for weeks. Today is piled up on last night, which is piled up on last night, which is piled up to yesterday, and it's like this huge long day with dreams going through it nad it's such a huge mess it's too much to sort out.

So it's like there were no interruptions?

Yeah, everything's too connected.
