EXHIBITION: Doublings, Kunsthalle am Hamburger Platz, Berlin, Germany

NaFög-Award for Diana Sirianni, master student Klasse Gregor Schneider

Das fliegende Klassenzimmer landet in München

Es freut mich Ihnen mitteilen zu können, dass die Klasse Schneider Berlin mit seinem fliegenden Klassenzimmer nun an die Akademie der Bildenden Künste München als Klasse Schneider München verpflanzt wird.

Im Rahmen Gregor Schneiders fliegendem Klassenzimmer im Fachbereich Bildhauerei wurden in drei Jahren vielfältige Vorhaben realisiert. Thema der Klasse ist das transportable mobile Klassenzimmer.

Das mobile fliegende Klassenzimmer sollte verschiedene Orte in der Welt mit der UdK verbinden. Der Raum sollte eine Plattform sein für Studenten, ein Klassenzimmer, ein Raum für Experimente und Forschung, sowie ein grenzüberschreitender Ausstellungsraum, in dem künstlerische Praxis selbsterziehend experimentiert wird.

Räume sind Schwerpunkt Gregor Schneiders eigener künstlerischer Arbeit. Nach einer Ausstellung in der Kunsthalle Bremerhaven, mit eigens entwickelter Raumarchitektur, Aufenthalt und Ausstellung in Bahrain, Ausstellung in einem mobilen Containerlager, Klassentausch mit der Staatlichen Akademie der Bildenden Künste Stuttgart und diversen Diskussionen und Besuchern von renommierten Ausstellungskuratoren bekommt Gregor Schneider nun die Möglichkeit sein Programm an der Akademie der Bildenden Künste München fortzuführen.

Gregor Schneider ist davon überzeugt, dass eine Kunstakademie ein Ort sein kann, an dem junge Kunststudenten/Kunststudentinnen selbsterziehend zu ihrer eigenen künstlerischen Arbeit finden können. Dabei kann die Kunstakademie gerade heute ein Freiraum sein, der gerade nicht willfährige Galleriekünstler oder Marionetten der Ausstellungskuratoren produziert, sondern vielmehr starke und unabhängige Künstlerpersönlichkeiten schafft.

Das setzt natürlich voraus, dass auch eine Kunstakademie als Institution nicht stärker wird, als deren Inhalt.
Gregor Schneider hat sich im Fachbereich Freie Kunst verstärkt für den Erhalt der freien Fachklassen und für die Stärkung der Künstler an der Universität der Künste eingesetzt.

Auftakt seiner Tätigkeit in München wird eine Ausstellung zusammen mit Münchener und Berliner Studenten/Studentinnen sein, welche unter dem Titel Doublings in der Kunsthalle Berlin am Hamburger Platz im Dezember 2012 eröffnet wird.

Al Riwaq Art Space

Professor Gregor Schneider will be giving a lecture entitled "Black Cube - Is a Cube just a Cube?" on Thursday 9th December at 7 pm; the event is free and open to the public.
During the talk the Professor will be discussing about the concept of his installation "Cube Venice 2005".
Gregor Schneider was born in 1969 in Rheydt, Germany. He has always been interested in the relation between constructed and individual space.
Among his numerous exhibitions, he held solo exhibitions at the Kunsthalle in Hamburg (2003), at the MOCA Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles (2004), the Museum de Arte Contemporanea de Serralves in Oporto (2005), and the Morra Greco Foundation in Naples (2006).

We try to build the future" as part of MACRO FUTURE (2007-2008). He was also present at the 1st Biennial of Athens (2007). In 2001 Gregor Schneider won the Golden Lion prize for the best national participation at the 49th Venice Biennale.

About the exhibition Minimal/Maximal
Saturday 12th December at 7 pm - Wednesday 12th January
Al Riwaq Art Space
This event is free and open to the public

The exhibition presents the works of 24 international students coming from the sculpture class of the artist and professor Gregor Schneider, Universität der Künste, Berlin (Germany), together with a contribution of the same artist.
The exhibition "Minimal/Maximal" is based on the concept of maximal effects being reached through minimal causes. The tension between minimal and maximal has been explored from all angles, from formal or concrete to more conceptual or abstract solutions.
This concept 'Minimal/Maximal` arises from thoughts concerning content as also pragmatism: the tension between mass reduction and spacial extention represents on one hand a device to deal with space, on the other hand a stategy to minimalise transport costs and geographical distance.
The exhibition will open on the 11th of December at 19 pm at Al Riwaq Art Space and will be running through Wednesday 12th January.
