Dom Pérignon Vintage 2004 & Leo Kuelbs: The Expanding Universe

Dom Pérignon Vintage 2004 and the Abbey of Hautvillers are at the heart of The Expanding Universe, the new multi-surface projection by Leo Kuelbs and Glowing Bulbs presented on the actual architecture of the Abbey.

Conceived as a journey through Dom Pérignon’s DNA, The Expanding Universe offers a unique multi sensorial experience to go in and come out of History.

A Wake: Still Lives and Moving Images
Death, and its accompanying rituals, are celebrated and explored in Momentum’s upcoming exhibition “A Wake: Still Lives and Moving Images.” As a platform dedicated to interrogating time-based art, “A Wake,” examines what happens when time runs out, through the veil, and into the hereafter.

It is an emergence into consciousness, as well as a consequence or a result. Taking this transitional point between being and representation, “A Wake” incorporates video, digital media, photography and film to create a space where media itself becomes the veil through which we pass–the translucent surface between observer and observed.

Curators Rachel Rits-Volloch, Leo Kuelbs and Adam Nankervis have selected works woven with the contemporary and contemporaneous dialogues of international artists. The works are presented as a processional of screens throughout the gallery–Momentum Berlin.

Contact: Rachel Rits-Volloch at rachel@momentumworldwide.org

More On “A Wake,” “Day of the Dead,” and Bethanien House:
All cultures acknowledge the Day of the Dead. Some celebrate, others mourn, but the ineluctable culmination of life is a part of every belief system and of every personal journey. Opening the weekend of All Saints Day, Los Dios des Muetrtes (The Day of the Dead), A Wake will be held in a once-upon-a-time infirmary within the former cloisters of Bethanien House Berlin.

Originally built as a hospital–a space both battling and housing death–Bethanien has since been transformed into a place where the processes of art and creation manifest the victory of life over death. We fill this space with a labyrinth of screens, illuminating still lives and moving images. A Wake is a passage through time, a processional, which is our “offerenda,” an offering to visiting souls awakened on this day, every year.

“Immersive Surfaces” is a publicly presented video projection installation onto the Manhattan Bridge in Brooklyn during the Dumbo Arts Festival from September 23 – 25, 2011. The multi-part video projection, created by nearly 20 international artists and curators, will cover over 30,000 sq. feet of the Manhattan Bridge Anchorage, Archway and the surrounding cityscape, through the use of cutting-edge video mapping technology.

Technical innovation has continually affected the arts, driving the ultimate development of large-scale participation. “Immersive Surfaces” will use the idea of “the crowd”, i.e. the connection between individuals and the greater group, as a main topic, while also examining notions of projected depth and the meaning of surface. Find more information at: http://immersivesurfaces.com.

By displaying multiple types of projections, “Immersive Surfaces” demonstrates how video art can achieve different goals depending on the scope and scale of its display. The video projection will showcase 3 parts. The first part works with more traditional video art and presentation techniques, slowly progressing to utilize the entire anchorage and archway. This will be achieved by contributions from over a dozen artists from Europe, Asia, Canada and the U.S. The individual pieces have been created either recently or specifically for “Immersive Surfaces” and will adorn the enormous wall space in small units like a virtual gallery. The various sites will be connected by a background that contextualizes the entire canvas: an “Op Art” surface, which becomes animated in the second part of the installation, until it fairly bursts into the “As Above, So Below,” the third section of “Immersive Surfaces.”

By connecting the interior Archway space with the Manhattan Bridge’s massive Anchorage, “As Above, So Below,” works as one of the largest single projection canvases ever presented. Various aspects of human creativity constitute a universe in which various figures exist, explore, and interact with each other. The projection reflects the reorganization of communities into both, individuals and crowds. The philosophical question behind addresses an experience that reflects our daily conduct: What is it that makes us connect?

The project is at the center of the Dumbo Arts Festival and has been organized by video curator Leo Kuelbs in conjunction with a team of artists and SenovvA Inc., a leader in cutting-edge projection technology in the U.S. The large-scale, third element “As Above, So Below,” was created by Simon Anaya, Farkas Fülöp, Richard Jochum, John Moreno, John Ensor Parker, and Ryan Uzilevsky. Multimedia design firms Light Harvest Studio, Anaya Visual FX and Resident Creative Studio assisted in content production.

The project will be accompanied by a mobile augmented reality component created by Elysium Media. A QR code will be posted around the site, and in the guides, with instructions to download the Layar app to viewer’s smartphones. Throughout the festival people will be encouraged to tweet images with the hashtag: #dumboarts. Tweeted images will float through the atmosphere and around the installation, as self-referential surfaces of their own.

A free panel discussion titled, "The Content Development Constellation," will be held on Saturday, September 24th 6:00-7:30 p.m. at 111 Front Street, Suite 216. Artists, production experts, and others from the various disciplines necessary to develop and present mapped projections discuss their positions in the “constellation” of influences that ultimately shape the content as it moves from conceptualization to presentation. Followed by a tour of the sites.

The Endless Bridge Retrieved

“The Endless Bridge Retrieved” is a documentary look at “The Endless Bridge” public video art presentation exploring the notion of transition as a permanent state, which appeared in NYC in September. The work of 13 different video artists, many from Berlin, was projected onto the Manhattan Bridge and other sites in DUMBO, Brooklyn and was viewed by thousands of onlookers as part of the “DUMBO Arts Festival.” “The Endless Bridge Retrieved” brings together a selection of the projected videos, as well as new documentary material about the show.

“POP: Crackle & Snap”

by Leo Kuelbs

The human craving for all things sweet, fat, intoxicating is a built-in survival mechanism that has existed since the beginning. But what happens when comfort replaces survival? When hunting, gathering and farming are replaced by taking a ride in your warm SUV to the supermarket? The cravings persist, hard-wired, even as the conditions and contexts evolve along with the times.

The advertising, marketing and entertainment industries have also evolved, simultaneously reflecting and manipulating generations of Westerners who’ve been raised staring into the media’s seductive mirrors and cesspools. To stare too long is unhealthy, it is bad candy. Too much sugar will rot your teeth. Yet we imbibe deeply, often times to excess, our brain’s pleasure centers blowing up like tiny fireworks.

Now we factor in the exponential growth of technology and the newly articulating inter-connections between countries and cultures. It is a crush of over-charged hype, heavily amplified in the wild new media’s echo-chambers, each message louder and more extreme than the last, pressing buttons, working old cravings and desires until the absorber gives in to the message or turns away from it, yet embracing the same old habits, if for nothing other than self-medication.

“POP: Crackle and Snap” is an opportunity to look through the mirror and into our shared pop past, upon which the present teeters, poised for an uncomfortable entry into the crazy and congested future.

Thomas Lendvai
Statement

There’s a decidedly dreamlike aspect to my site-determined sculptures. They often have an implied sense of passing through the architectural spaces that contain them. This challenges the idea that sculpture is simply a nomadic object that can be randomly placed within a space. Context is key. On a fundamental level the work also deals with the phenomenology of spacial relationships and is not primarily predicated on the eye. Physically interacting with the work by walking into, through and around it is equally important as looking. This peripatetic element allows for a decidedly subjective experience and denies a strict intellectual reading.

Biography

Thomas Lendvai was born in New York and raised by parents who emigrated from Hungary in the early 70′s. Growing up on Long Island, Thomas often worked during the Summer months with his father as a carpenter. This experience has shaped and influenced his sculptural practice to this day. Most if not all of his work uses construction based materials and techniques. Today, Thomas continues to make sculpture as well as site-determined installations which have recently been exhibited in Tokyo, Chicago and Key West. Thomas is currently represented by Winkleman Gallery in New York City.
