Until 20 June 2009, OCA is
exhibiting 'Nasreen
Mohamedi: Notes – Reflections on Indian Modernism (Part 1)',
the first solo exhibition in Europe of Nasreen
Mohamedi. The exhibition is part of 'Reflections on Indian
Modernism', a comprehensive programme of public projects and
residencies organised by Suman Gopinath and Grant Watson for OCA
and CoLab Art & Architecture, Bangalore, India.
'Nasreen Mohamedi: Notes – Reflections on Indian Modernism (Part
1)' is the first solo exhibition in Europe of Mohamedi (1937–1990),
regarded as one of the most important Indian artists of her
generation. Mohamedi's rarely seen paintings, drawings and
photographs, produced from the early 1960s to the late 80s,
constitute a key body of work within the modernist canon. Previous
exhibitions of her work include the Third Indian Triennale (New
Delhi, India, 1975), Jehangir Art Gallery (Mumbai, India, 1991),
'Drawing Space: Contemporary Indian Drawing', inIVA (London, UK,
2000), 'Nasreen Mohamedi: Lines among Lines', The Drawing Center
(New York, USA, 2005), documenta 12 (Kassel, Germany, 2007) and

Workshop by ISP resident Babette Mangolte
During the workshop Babette
Mangolte will introduce her early work, focusing on
how to define space with sounds and on the relations between an
installation and the place where it is shown. Mangolte will also
discuss issues around digital image versus film image, by
presenting Presence, the installation she exhibited
in the 5th Berlin Biennial for Contemporary Art, 'When Things Cast
No Shadow'. The workshop is open for BA and MA students from all

Wednesday, 27 May at 19:00
ISP Artist Resident Babette Mangolte
'On Landscape'
Babette Mangolte Mangolte will give a
lecture relating to landscape films and the concept of wilderness.
As a part of Mangolte's presentation, the artist will
screen The Sky On Location, a 16 mm film (78 min)
shot by the artist in 1982, in which Mangolte approaches the
question: is it possible to confront nature with a real purity of
vision? A personal mediation on the landscape of the American West
that tracks the ruling conception in nature in the 19th and 20th
centuries from the pioneers through the 'instamatic' tourists while
obsessively following the four seasons. Ernest Larsen writes about
the film: 'the elemental vicissitudes of the weather, the exact
moment of the day, the colour of the light and the soil and the
trees form an acute visual record of the constantly changing mood
of the landscape – the film successfully attempts, with quiet,
passionate, almost single-minded firmness, to confront us as
nakedly as possible with our cultural inability to see nature
whole, without preconceptions.'

Upcoming Resident April/December 2009: Anders
Nordby
Anders Nordby (b.1975, in Oslo, Norway) is an
artist based in Oslo, Norway. He studied at Central St. Martins
College of Art and Design in London, UK and The National Academy in
Oslo, and participated in the alternative art school MSAˆ (Mountain
School of Art) in Los Angeles, USA. Nordby's work involves artistic
production, as well as a curatorial practice – reflected in his
collaborative project 'Dear Cockettes' at UKS, Oslo. His
process-based art and installations draw inspiration from
literature, sub- and countercultures. It investigates a self-chosen
'moral degeneration'; an inverted system of ideals within the
borderlines of morality and ethics, the relationship between
creativity and crime and the notion of crime as a revolt against
established society. Nordby has exhibitied in institutions such as
Art in General, The Swiss Institute, White Columns and Rhizome at
the New Museum, all in New York, NY. Together with Ida Ekblad, he
runs the artist-space Willy Wonka Inc., where shows are organised
in their apartments as well as in abandoned buildings and at
non-profit venues. Willy Wonka's upcoming exhibition will take
place at Kölnischer Kunstverein in Cologne, Germany in April
2009.

Babette Mangolte
Artist/film-maker, b.1941 in France, lives and
works in New York, USA
The French-born, New York-based experimental
film-maker Babette Mangolte was one of
the first women accepted into the cinematography programme at
L'École Nationale de la Photographie et de la Cinématographie in
Paris, France, founded by Louis Lumiére. She discovered cinema with
the nouvelle vague and moved to New York City in 1970, where she
worked as the cinematographer for Chantal Ackerman and Yvonne
Rainer among others. In her work as director from the 1970s,
Mangolte focused on performance documentation, working with artists
such as Richard Foreman, Robert Whitman, Trisha Brown and Lucinda
Childs. Her early film work was a self-examination as to what it
means to be a spectator, but also an experiment in narrative
film-making. Among the films directed by Mangolte are What
Maisie Knew (1976), The Camera: Je or La Camera:
I (1977), Four Pieces by Morris (1993)
and Seven Easy Pieces (2007). Her films are in
the collections of the Centre George Pompidou in Paris, the Museum
of Modern Art in New York, the Deutsche Kinematek, Berlin and the
Cinéathèque Royale de Belgique in Brussels. The first retrospective
dedicated to her work took place in 2000 in three German cities –
Berlin, Hamburg and Munich – and was organised by Madeleine
Bernstorff and Kleus Volkmer from the Munich Film Archives. Her
second retrospective was in New York in September 2004 at the
Anthology Film Archives.

Anawana Haloba to participate in
'Fare Mondi // Making Worlds...',
The main exhibition of the
53rd International Art Exhibition
La Biennale di Venezia
Preview: 4, 5 and 6 June 2009
Public opening: Sunday, 7 June, 10:00
From 7 June to 22 November 2009
Venice, Italy
Daniel Birnbaum, Director of the 53rd
International Art Exhibition 'Fare Mondi // Making Worlds. . .',
has invited artist Anawana Haloba to
participate in La Biennale di Venezia. Within 'Fare Mondi // Making
Worlds. . .', Haloba will exhibit the large-scale spatial
installation The Greater G8 (GG8) AD MARKET. The work
functions as an advertising market stall for the products of the
so-called GG8 members as fictionalized by the artist and in the
form of the collective of: Moldova, Iraq, Sudan, Colombia, Bolivia,
Malawi, Philippines and Somalia. The project follows the logic and
desires of a political dreamscape in which Haloba rewrites the
rules of economic financial exchange by offering Third World
fair-trade goods imbued with a sense of futility.

The Nordic and Danish Pavilion
'The Collectors' Curated by Elmgreen and Dragset
Press Preview: 4 June 2009
Professional Preview: 4 June 2009, 15:00
Public Opening: 7 June 2009
Exhbiting Artists:
Thora Dolven Balke, Massimo Bartolini, Hernan Bas, Guillaume Bijl,
Maurizio Cattelan, Elmgreen & Dragset, Pepe Espaliú Tom of
Finland, Simon Fujiwara, Han & Him, Laura Horelli, Martin

Vibeke Slyngstad, Sturtevant and Wolfgang
Tillmans
On the occasion of the 53rd International Art Exhibition – La
Biennale di Venezia, the Nordic and Danish Pavilions will
collaborate with a project curated by artists'
duo Elmgreen & Dragset. The project was
initiated by the Office for Contemporary Art Norway, the hosting
organisation for the Nordic Pavilion in 2009, and the Danish Arts
Council's Committee for International Visual Arts, commissioners of
their respective pavilions, with the intention to create a
'transnational neighbourhood' within the Giardini, an exhibition
context traditionally dedicated to national representation. The
project, titled 'The Collectors' is not a group show in the
conventional sense. The pavilions will undergo a radical
reconstruction, and more than twenty artists and designers of all
ages, ranging from established to emerging ones, will contribute to
creating a different kind of exhibition format, one that will
appear closer to a film set than a conventional art display.
Accreditation for the press preview of the 53rd International
Art Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia must be requested directly
to the Biennale Press Office. Please go to:www.labiennale.org/en/press/art/accreditation.
Please note that applications for press accreditations have to be
submitted by 30 April 2009. For professional accreditation please

Mutelekesha to exhibit within the biennial, which
takes place in Havana, Cuba from 27
March to 30 April 2009 and
is titled 'Integration and Resistance in the Global Age'. According
to Lantarán, the biennial will focus 'on the complexity of a real
and active integration to a global order, on one side, and on the
capacity of resistance in the face of the homogenising farce that
it presupposes, on the other'. Within 'Integration and Resistance
in the Global Age', Mutelekesha will exhibit the
installation Pangea, which nostalgically refers to
the hypothetical landmass that existed when all continents were
joined.
Ida Ekblad to participate in
'The Generational: Younger Than Jesus'

Ida Ekblad had been invited to exhibit within 'Younger Than
Jesus' the first edition of The Generational, a new triennial
established by the New
Museum exploring the work of artists born after 1976 and

fill the entire New Museum's building with approximately 145 works
by 50 artists, among them Cory
Arcangel, Tauba
Auerbach, Cao Fei, Ryan
Gander, and Patricia
Esquivias – all of whom are under the age of

Director of Rhizome and New Museum Adjunct
Curator; Massimiliano Gioni, Director of

artists for the exhibition. Within 'The Generational: Younger Than
Jesus', Ida Ekblad will exhibit the work Untitled
(M), (2008), which consists of eight connected works produced
with ink and chlorine on hand-dyed watercolour paper. She will also

curators of the Nordic and Danish Pavillions in Venice in 2009.
Curated by Agustín Pérez Rubio, Chief Curator

collective, the unbalanced of 'the private' versus the drama of
'the public' in the immediate world. The exhibition will be
composed of ten installations in a display created specifically for
MUSAC – six of them will be new productions and the previous works
will be displayed in a new arrangement, according to the curatorial
concept.

Kristina Bræin and Lina
Viste-Grønli have been invited to exhibit within 'Les
Formes Féminines' at Triangle France, Marseille,
France. Curated by Dorothée Dupuis, director
of Triangle France and taking place from 3
April to 9 May 2009, the
exhibition takes as a starting point the idea of a crude and
curious parallel between the history of sculpture and those of
women in the twentieth century. According to the curator, the
exhibition proposes a unique landscape, where abstraction dominates
and criteria crumble in order to make place for a 'queer',
'strongly objective' sensuality. Within 'Les Formes Féminines',
Bræin exhibits a new site-specific installation and Viste-Grølin a
new sculpture installation titled A Chance Counsel.
Other artists exhibiting are Jenny
Holzer and Eva Berendes.
Following a visit of Maria Lind, Director
of the Graduate Program, Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard
College, Annandale-on-Hudson, USA and a guest in OCA's
International Visitor Programme in February
2009, Marianne Heier has been invited to
exhibit within 'Protective Coloration' at the CCS. According to the
curator, NiKo Vicario, the lens-based works
exhibited within 'Protective Coloration' 'engage the strategy of
the monochrome but do not seek an absolute or a purely optical art,
instead rendering flat spaces that camouflage representation
through the shroud, the crop, or the zoom'. Other exhibiting
artists are Iñaki Bonillas, Liz
Deschenes and Morgan Fisher.
'Protective Coloration' takes place from 19
April to 24 May 2009.
Vibeke Tandberg has been invited to
exhibit within 'Seleccion de la 28a Bienal de São Paulo' at

artists that participated in the 28th São Paulo Biennial. Vibeke
Tandberg will exhibit the project Albert Camus,
L'étranger, Roman, Gallimard 2003, Prémier dépôt légal:juin 1942.
ISBN 2-07-021-200-3, in which the artist dissects an edition
of the book L'étranger by Albert Camus by cutting out each of the
32,000 words comprising the text and subsequently alphabetising
each onto separate formations divided into individual framed
works.
From 16 to 25 April

Paris/Berlin/Madrid – Madrid 2009' is taking place in

within 'sk-interfaces', at Casino Luxembourg,
Luxembourg from 25
September to10 January 2010. Curated
by Jens Hauser, 'sk-interfaces' features works by artists
reflecting on the way current technologies are changing our lives
by progressively replacing natural interface in the skin. Within
the exhibition, Sissel Tolaas will present the
project Fear, in which she collects and displays the
smell of different men who have nothing in common but the fear of
body contact.

MOMENTUM 2009
5th Nordic Biennial of Contemporary Art
'Favoured Nations'
From 29 August to 18 October 2009
Opening: Saturday, 29 August at 14:00
Press preview: Thursday, 27 August 11:00
Moss, Norway
Organised by Punkt Ø Momentum 2009 is curated
by Lina
Džuverović and Stina Högkvist.
Featuring 31 artists and artist groups, the exhibition highlights
'issues around equality and access and the ways in which those
involved in artistic production are treated.' According to the
curators, the exhibition approaches how the conditions of equality
and access are incorporated within artist production, exploring
more specifically how those ideas proliferating within Nordic
countries reaffirm the belief that artists from the region enjoy
particular privileges associated with economic prosperity,
including grants and high salaries.
