Pierre Mukeba “I use the colour red as our prehistoric ancestors saw it as a sign of fire and blood. Red is usually associated with war, strength and power. The colour blue is used to represent piety and sincerity. Lastly, the colour yellow which represents happiness and joy. Most of my artwork contains a lot of red paint as I believe that the colour red represents the emotions and lifestyle my people in Central Africa experience on a daily basis.” - Pierre Mukeba, Artist. Pierre Mukeba (b. 1995, Bukavu, Democratic Republic of Congo) is a self-taught artist who lives and works in Adelaide, Australia. Mukeba deliberately restricts his palette to three colours, red, blue and yellow. Mukeba was born in the shadows of civil war in Bukavu in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. At an early age he, along with his family, was forced to flee to a refugee camp in Zambia where food was scarce. His mother discovered that her brother was doing well in Harare the capital Zimbabwe and he invited them to come and stay. For a brief moment life was stable until the Zimbabwean president, Robert Mugabe, ordered that anybody who wasn’t a national of Zimbabwe was to be arrested. In desperation, Mukeba’s mother approached the Australian embassy for asylum. Finally, in 2006, the family were granted residency in Adelaide. #neonurchin #neonurchinblog #dedicatedtothethingswelove #suzyurchin #ollyurchin #art #music #photography #fashion #film #words #pictures #neon #urchin #pierremukeba #artist #african #australian #red #blue #yellow #fabric #selftaught #gagprojects #paulgreenaway (at Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuveQvJAa7k/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1it08f1r4afjg

アリエール　ハッサン 「平等の悲劇」 Ariel Hassan  "Tragedy of Equality" 2018.6.1(Fri) - 6.30(Sat)

void+ではアルゼンチン人作家、アリエール・ハッサンの平等の悲劇 【第一幕】を開催いたします。ハッサン氏はドイツとオーストラリアを拠点に、様々な手法を用いて制作活動をしています。オーストラリアや中国では注目すべき若手アーティストとして美術館にも所蔵される作品も多く、コーチ=ムジリス・ビエンナーレなどの国際展への招待もされる新進アーティストです。

ハッサン氏の初期の絵画作品は、様々な色で偶然に出来上がった、マーブリングの手法を駆使したような美しい平面作品でした。偶然と独創の融合に、緻密な手作業で時間をかけて描かれた画面がひろがり、それは上空から見た地形図のようにも、木星の衛星写真をも連想させました。また2012年インドのコーチ=ムジリス・ビエンナーレで発表した野外作品では、地元の人々をモデルに白黒のポートレートを撮影した写真の上に、既に何者なのか識別するのは困難になるくらいまで顔に墨を流し込んだかのような画面を36個のライトボックスにしました。今回発表する作品の前身である“Making all Things Equal（全ての物を平等に）”では、二つに分割された異なる白黒映像の中央に一文字ずつアルファベットが現れる映像と平面作品などで構成されたインスタレーションを制作。そこには宇宙のあらゆる事物を相対的にみる概念から、荘子の思想が引用されました。自然、科学、宇宙、生物、人間、思想、哲学、経済とあらゆる知識を素材とし、グローバルな生い立ちを持つハッサン氏個人の思想と様々な情報への本能的な反応、それとクリティカルな理論と読書から成り立っている世界観が制作の根源となっているようです。絵画、彫刻、映像、インスタレーションと多岐に渡る手法で表現するその作品からは、混沌、不条理、持続性、たゆまぬ、ながれ、法則、逆説という言葉が頭に浮かびます。けしてわかりやすい作品ではありませんが、鑑賞者は、疑問を抱き、心地よい思考の迷宮に入りこむことになるでしょう。

アルゼンチン人でありながらオーストラリアとベルリンを拠点に活動するグローバルな視点を持つハッサン氏の日本初個展となります。どうぞご期待ください。

平等の悲劇　【第一幕】について

アリエール・ハッサンは、三部構成のトリオロジーの展覧会の第一弾として、今回の展覧会をvoid+にて発表します。この三部作は、オーストラリアおよびドイツにて別々のパフォーマンスを行い、作品として展示する予定です。

この作品は、絶え間なく動き続ける生物としての人間の相互依存関係（種の保存という本能）と妥協し（政治的宿命）、生産と消費という私たちのユニバーサルなシステムを反映しています。三角形のスペースにて行われる直接的なパフォーマンスは、支配と服従の二進法に従う身体の生産と消費の間の葛藤を表し、そして、権力、権威、信頼、服従、欲望という、どれをとっても互いの存在がないところには成し遂げられないサイクルを、お互いが髪を剃りあいながら競争する行為を通して、その流れは生産されると同時に中断され、次第に欲望が失われていく過程を表現します。

アリエル・ハッサン

1977年、アリエル・ハッサンは1977年にアルゼンチン生まれ、オーストラリアとスペインで活動後、現在はオーストラリアとドイツのベルリンを拠点におくアーティストです。オーストラリア、スペイン、シンガポール、中国で個展を開催ほか、インドのコチ=ムジリス・ビエンナーレ（2012）、アートステージ・シンガポール- プロジェクトスペース（グリーナウェイ・アートギャラリー）、シンガポール（2011）; オーストラリアパビリオン、上海万博、中国（2010）;　プリマベラ、シドニー現代美術館（2008）などへのグループ展に参加。

void+ presents Tragedy of equality [act 1], a project by Ariel Hassan, produced in collaboration with void+. 

Based in Germany and Australia, Hassan creates artworks across multiple mediums. He is regarded as a significant up-and-coming artist whose works are included in collections and museums in Australia and China. He has participated in numerous international art shows, such as the Kochi-Muziris Biennale in India.  

Hassan’s paintings are beautiful, random products that combine different colors in fluid like images. These images, seemingly done in minutes, are time-consuming manual operations mixing aspects of chance and creativity, appearing like topographical maps seen from above, possibly reminiscent of satellite photographs of Jupiter. In an outdoor installation unveiled at the Kochi-Muziris Biennale in 2012 he exhibited 36 large black-and-white portrait photographs superimposed with images of fluids over the subjects faces — the portraits of local residents, were in the form of light boxes.

“Making all things equal,” the predecessor of the work he presents at Void+, was an installation composed of video, two-dimensional and three-dimensional elements. Two separate black-and-white videos join on a split projection, at the junction of which letters appeared one by one. When put together, the letters formed a quote from Zhuangzi about the relative perception of all things in the universe.

Hassan’s creative work, revolving around various knowledge related to nature, science, space, living organisms, mankind, thought, philosophy and economy, is obviously rooted in the artist’s personal experience informed by his global upbringing, instinctive reactions to various information, as well as world views shaped through critical theory and reading. Expressed in formats ranging from painting and sculpture to video and installation, his works evoke concepts such as chaos, absurdity, persistence, restlessness, flow, principle and paradox. Not exactly easy to understand, they leave the viewer doubting and questioning, entrapped in a comfortable labyrinth of contemplation.

Please look forward to this first exhibition in Japan of Ariel Hassan, an artist with a global mindset.

About the Tragedy of equality [act 1]

The exhibition at void+is the first in a trilogy of three exhibitions that each involve a different performance in a different country, and that will subsequently be exhibited as visual artworks.

This work reflects our universal system of birth and consumption, in a compromise (political fate) of the relation of interdependence (the instinct of species preservation)of man as a continuously moving being. Direct performances staged in triangular spaces express the conflict between birth and consumption of the body in accordance with the binary system of governance and obedience, while the cycles of power, authority, trust, submission and desire – none of which can be achieved without the other – are induced and interrupted at the same time through the competitive act of shaving each other’s hair, illustrating a process in which desires gradually vanish.
