International Bienalle (Lomba_2012)

Info Lomba

International Biennale 2012

The III Moscow International Biennale for Young Art “Oui Vive?”

September 8th the submission of applications for participation in the III Moscow International Biennale for Young Art “Oui Vive?” and will run till December 15th.

Curator of the Biennale 2012 is Katrin Becker (Berlin), curator at the Neuer Berliner Kunstverein (n.b.k.)

Theme: “Under A Tinsel Sun”.

According to the curator Kathrin Becker, the theme of the Biennale shows no uniformity of the of subjects, languages and styles that are relevant to the young generation, but also reveals individual artistic positions of specific authors who were born between the mid-70s and 80s, and considers the process of their creative development.

The Biennale, as its forerunners, focuses on a young generation of artists aged up to 35 years. “Under A Tinsel Sun” assumes that, despite the cultural, economic and social differences that may exist between the participants from different countries, there is a common factor in the impossibility of locating oneself by belonging to certain peer groups (whether in the ideological or in the artistic sense).

Biennale for Young Art "Qui Vive? " will be held July - August 2012 and will present works by young artists - objects, graphics, paintings, installations, photos, multimedia, videos, performances, sound art, etc. A special educational program will be introduced, consisting of a series of master classes, lectures and round tables with participation of art historians, critics, curators and artists from all over the world.

For the first time at the Biennale 2012 there will be a contest among the participants. The jury will include leading Russian and international experts in the field of contemporary art.

The main exhibition locations for the Biennale 2012 will be: Central House of Artists (CHA) , National Center for Contemporary Art (NCCA), Moscow Museum of Modern Art (MMoMa).

Conception

Under A Tinsel Sun. The III Moscow International Biennale for Young Art 2012

Under A Tinsel Sun is the title of the III Moscow International Biennale for Young Art, which will be presented to the public starting in July 2012. The organizers are the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation, the Department of Culture of the City of Moscow, the National Centre for Contemporary Art (NCCA), Moscow, and the Moscow Museum of Modern Art (MMoMA), in collaboration with Neuer Berliner Kunstverein (n.b.k.). Its curator is Kathrin Becker, Berlin.

The III Moscow International Biennale for Young Art 2012, as its forerunners, focuses on a young generation of artists aged up to 35 years. Titled Under A Tinsel Sun and laid out as a multimedia project, it portrays the heterogeneity of subjects, languages and styles, which are so urgent in this generation, and at the same time looks into the content-related positioning of these artists born between the mid-1970s and the mid-1980s, as well as into the conditions for their development in terms of content. Under A Tinsel Sun assumes that, despite the cultural, economic and social differences that may exist between the participants from different countries, there is a common factor in the impossibility of locating oneself by belonging to certain peer groups (whether in the ideological or in the artistic sense). Cultural science often refers to this as an "almost desperate isolation" (Wolfgang Kaschuba), as the final state of a development in the field of art that had already begun in the mid-1970s, manifesting itself in the end of the historical avant-gardes and in their reassessment as part of a dominant canon. The collapse of ideologies at the end of the 1980s and the dawning of the post-ideological age both play a role within this mesh, as much as the end of the narrative of youth culture representing the universal culture of renewal, induced by the merciless commercial exploitation of the subcultures in the mid-1990s, which in turn coincides with the onset of commercial availability of the World Wide Web in 1994.

In this decisionistic ground state with its infinite possibilities of free decision and development and, as a consequence, with the absence of a "we", the self-positioning of the (artistic) individual becomes the pressing imperative of the present, especially when being aware of the increasing medialization of the world, the loss of one's own body and the indistinguishability of what is "real" and what is "fake". The long established alleged bipolarity between reality and virtuality gives way to the consciousness that also "reality" as such is constructed, subjective and fragmented.

This realization becomes the drive for the artists' self-positioning and for their production of works that no longer describe the phenomena surrounding them as "objective", but that aspire to catalyze a multidimensional and alternative perception of the world. Poetic shifts, emotionality, subjective appropriation are the tools, which the artists of this generation operate with, intending to faciliate new ways of seeing.

With this being the focus, Under A Tinsel Sun. The III Moscow International Biennale for Young Art 2012 explores the works of the young generation of artists and presents drawing, painting, photography, video, performance, mixed media, installation and sound art. The exhibition project promotes the critical examination of the conditions for artistic production today. It is accompanied by an extensive publication (in English and Russian, with numerous illustrations, essays and short texts about the participating artists).

Mengapa api yang dihasilkan kompor Gas berwarna biru sedangkan yang dihasilkan oleh Lilin berwarna kuning?

artikel

Warna kuning dengan ujung merah yang dihasilkan oleh lilin dikarenakan kurang kecepatan oksigen di sekitar lilin untuk mengkolaborasikan dirinya dengan api yang dihasilkan oleh lilin. Memang sih ada banyak oksigen di sekitar nyala lilin, namun oksigen-oksigen di sekitar lilin itu kurang gesit karena konsentrasinya terpecah untuk paraffin, disini paraffin berusaha mempertahankan diri agar tak meleleh untuk melindungi sumbu agar tak cepat habis dimakan si api, oksigen disekitar lilin rupanya juga membantu si paraffin ternyata. Itulah kenapa api yang dihasilkan oleh lilin berwarna orange dengan ujung merah. Hal serupa juga terjadi pada api unggun, obor dan sebagainya.

Sedangkan kompor gas menghasilkan api berwarna biru karena oksigen cepat menggabungkan diri membantu nyala api, sehingga si oksigen lebih terkonsentrasi, faktor lain adalah ada beberapa gas disekitar nyala api yang mempunyai persamaan senyawa. Senyawa yang sama tersebut otomatis juga menghasilkan warna yang sama yaitu biru, beberapa kelompok senyawa gas memang dapat menghasilkan warna yang berbeda-beda. Ingatkah kalian tentang kentut? Di beberapa film kartun menggambarkan bahwa gas dari kentut berwarna biru, visualisasi tersebut memang benar adanya karena gas metana yaitu gas yang terkandung dalam kentut pada hakekatnya berwarna biru. Itulah alasan kenapa warna api yang dihasilkan oleh kompor gas berwarna biru. Oya, kalian ingat tidak sama Blue Gas? Itu loh, gas yang dari kotoran hewan? Pasti tau dong, yang dibutuhkan dalam blue gas itu sebenarnya gas metana-nya bukan kotoran hewan. J

Kemudian bagaimana dengan kembang api? Mengapai bias mempunya warna yang bermacam-macam? Nah, itulah hebatnya manusia. Manusia di beri anugerah oleh Allah agar bias memahami alam. Anugerah ini lah yang dimanfaatkan manusia untuk menciptakan sesuatu yang unik. Contohnya kembang api ini. Kembang api dihasilkan dari kolaborasi beberapa gas disekitar bara api yang mempunyai warna senyawa yang berbeda-beda, dan terciptalah kembang api buah kreasi otak manusia, karunia Allah.SWT. (Lia)

Hujan Darah

artikel

Pasti anda sudah mengetahui berita adanya hujan darah di India, tapi pernahkah anda berpikir bahwa di dunia ini akan ada hujan Darah? Pasti hampir tak ada yang pernah membayangkan, kan?. Konon sebelum terjadinya hujan darah sempat terdengar letusan besar-besaran disertai adanya letusan yang Nampak seperti fenomena jatuhnya meteor ke bumi dan kejadian tersebut berlangsung selama kira-kira selama dua bulan.

Fenomena hujan darah tersebut awal mulanya tidak langsung berwarna merah darah, awalnya berwarna kuning kemudian orange lalu orange kemerah-merahan dan akhirnya benar-benar berwarna darah.

Setelah diadakan penelitian dari beberapa sampel yang diambil, beberapa ahli menyimpulkan bahwa cairan berwarna merah tersebut memang mengandung darah. Dan yang menegangkan sel-sel DNA dalam darah tersebut hidup bahkan membelah diri, sel-sel hemoglobin tersebut diidentifikasi sebagai sel darah manusia.

Namun sayangnya kejadian aneh tersebut benar-benar terjadi di India. Beberapa ahli menjelaskan beberapa hipotesa-hipotesa mengenai kejadian tersebut.

Hipotesa pertama:

Meledaknya kapal yang dinaiki oleh makhluk luar angkasa atau lebih akrab dengan panggilan alien, hancurnya pesawat tersebut menelan banyak korban alien, sehingga darah alien berceceran di tanah India. Namun yang menjadi pertanyaan sampai sekarang adalah apakah alien benar-benar ada? Kalau memang ada masa sih darah mereka sama dengan darah manusia?. Sampai sekarang pun belum ada yang mampu menjawab pertanyaan ini.

Hipotesa kedua:

Beberapa ahli menyimpulkan bahwa hujan darah disebabkan jatuhnya meteor ke bumi, dan jatuhnya meteor tersebut tepat mengenai komunitas besar kelelawar, darah kelelawar tersebut bercampur dengan air hujan, sehingga muncullah fenomena hujan darah. Mengenai hipotesa ini dapatkah kalian menerima bahwa sel-sel darah yang berarti berkaitan dengan DNA manusia sama dengan sel darah hewan?.

Hipotesa ketiga:

Hipotesa ke tiga ini sebenarnya sedikit konyol, ahli menyebutkan bahwa warna merah disebabkan karena terkontaminasi warna merah dalam ganggang laut yang tentunya berwarna merah. bagaimana bias ganggang laut yang semula hidup dilaut dapat berpindah di udara? Kalau menurut pemikiran saya sendiri, mungkin jatuhnya meteor tepat jatuh di laut yang banyak ganggang merahnya. tapi Pertanyaan pertama yang muncul dan paling penting adalah sejak kapan ganggang laut memiliki sel darah? Apalagi sama seperti manusia.

Berbagai pertanyaan yang susah bahkan tak terjawab pasti berseliweran di kepala kita, namun yang pasti itu adalah peringatan dari Allah.SWT untuk kita semua.
