SEARCH FORM
10 November - 17 December 2016
“search form” investigates modes of searching and collecting while revealing the magic of found and existing image worlds as well as the possible and impossible artistic approaches to them.
The “search query” doesn’t serve as a confirmation of what was there; it is not complete with the search result alone – rather it is oriented upon the found items themselves. They become departure points for artistic processes between appropriation and alienation, documentation and imagination. The search becomes a form in itself.
Historical and personal documents; the traces of different processes: movements, experiences, and encounters – in a physical and political sense. They are catalysts in this exploration of perception, representation, and knowledge production in analogue and digital media worlds.
The archive of found items, those searched and found forms, which constitute the departure point and subject of the works at the same time, are not merely an annex or footnotes to the exhibition: As the “Sektion Objets trouvés” – an ordered chaos of reference points – they form the entrance to the exhibition right at the beginning and therewith a first translation that transcends the individual objects.
Based on an “archive” of “associative objects” that reflect the conception, discussion, and developmental processes of this project exhibition, Sabine Folie was invited to conceive an exhibition in the exhibition: the “Sektion Objets trouvés” – its name referring to the sections of the fictional museum by Marcel Broodthaers, the “Musée d’art moderne. Département des Aigles” (Museum of Modern Art, Department of Eagles).
Multiple processes of transfer and homogenisation – scanning and photographing, the sober, equalising treatment in black and white, and screening as a reference to the representationality and mediatedness of every object – achieve a distance that eclipses the “original” and reveals the derivative intrinsic to every artistic process.
“search form” sees itself as a project exhibition that incorporates the artists and theoreticians in the research and developmental process.
