Third Thoughts

CCA Andratx

Mallorca, Spain

July 24 – October 24, 2010

Group exhibition curated by Barry Schwabsky and Carol Szymanski

"First thought, best thought," counseled the poet Allen Ginsberg. But if the first thought is immediate certainty and purity of heart, and the second thought is the fall into self-consciousness, ambivalence, equivocation, and duplicity, then what is the third thought? The exhibition Third Thoughts considered works that use writing and language in ways that go beyond the univocal and the ambiguous to broach this third state of thought.

Among the artists included were Mel Bochner, Luca Buvoli, Tony Cragg, Tsibi Geva, Monique Prieto, Kirstine Roepstorff, Suzanne McClelland, Jack Pierson, Allen Ruppersberg, and Nedko Solakov.

Utopia Matters

Deutsche Guggenheim

Berlin, Germany

January 23 – November, 2010

 

Curated by Vivien Greene, Curator of 19th and Early 20th-Century Art, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York

 

Utopia Matters allows for dialogues between nine movements spanning 130 years from Europe and the United States so that historical movements and avant-gardes with like aims of collectivity and idealism, normally separated by national and chronological divisions, are seen alongside each other. The presentation concluded in the early 1930s, when the ascendancy of fascism brought about the close of the Bauhaus in Berlin in 1933 and Stalinism reframed Russian Constructivist projects in the Soviet Union.

Utopia Matters included temporal interventions by contemporary artists—banners and façade installation as well as an editioned multiple by Luca Buvoli and a new version of the RMB City internet-based project by Cao Fei—which signal the endurance of utopian themes today.
