SYMPOSIUM MERZBAU 2007 "ORGANIC FUNCTIONALISM"
Curated by Adrian Notz and Hans Ulrich Obrist.
With: Johannes Gees, Karl Holmqvist, Jutta Koether, Hans Ulrich Obrist, François Roche, Carl Michael von Hausswolff,
Gianluigi Ricuperati and Markus Schaefer.
ELECTRA's next project '27 Senses' will form a central part of Symposium Merbau
at Cabaret Voltaire Zurich through the participation of three of the commissioned
artists: Jutta Koether, Carl Michael von Hausswolff and Karl Holmqvist.
Carl Michael von Hausswolff, Karl Homqvist and Jutta Koether offer an insight
into this project in development through their performative contributions to the
Symposium Merzbau 2007 "Organic Functionalis".
The Merzbau is an implosion. From 1923 to 1936 the artist Kurt Schwitters
(1887-1948) worked on his Merzbau in Hanover, which is said to be the central
work in the complete oeuvre of the Merz artist. It was destroyed by an allied
air raid in 1943 and only a few photographs and descriptions remain. The
Merzbau has therefore been transfigured in many different ways.

NEW WORK UK: TRUST YOURSELF
Curated by Lina Dzuverovic
Michelle Deignan, Chia-En Jao, Yaron Lapid, Flávia Müller Medeiros, Harold Offeh, Uriel Orlow,
ELECTRA's Lina Dzuverovic curates an evening of new film work for 'New Work UK' screened at the Whitechapel
Art Gallery in collaboration with the LUX. Challenging the idea of the curators' expected 'stable' of artists and
her own pattern of working, Dzuverovic conceived 'Trust Yourself,' based on the process of curating and breaking away
from previous familiar templates of art practices and modes of decision making.

ELECTRA PRESENTS KIM GORDON AT ZOO ART FAIR
Seven unique watercolour portraits by music icon and artist Kim Gordon, presented at Zoo Art Fair by ElectracZOO Art Fair, 12 - 15 October 2007
Royal Academy of Arts
6 Burlington Gardens, London W1S 3EX
12th - 15th October 2007
The iconic Kim Gordon has created a collection of seven brand new watercolours, each unique and signed by the artist, which offer dreamy, abstract interpretations of audience members, recalled from Gordon's experiences during her long career as an artist and musician. Small in scale and with a spirit like presence, painted on slightly translucent paper, each watercolour features Gordon's signature glitter paint, a recurring material used in many of her recent paintings and installations. The works will be presented by the London based contemporary art agency ELECTRA at ZOO Art Fair 2007.

Melanie Gilligan
The Miner's Object
Performance at
Greene Naftali Gallery
2007 |
ART NOW LIVE:
Bohman Brothers, Melanie Gilligan, Emma Hedditch,
Janice Kerbel, Olivia Plender
Art Now and Electra present a day of performance works that explore ideas of participation and storytelling.
Melanie Gilligan presents the European premiere of The Miner's Object, a performance which combines information and
storytelling in a strange parable about the social character of knowledge. In a new work Emma Hedditch generates and publishes
texts in dialogue with the curators of Art Now, visitors to Tate Britain and others, as a means to discuss how we act and
represent our participation in public life, through the cultural and political ideologies of democracy. The Bohman Brothers
offer personal responses to works on display in select galleries through a series of commissioned spoken word interventions. Olivia
Plender enacts a live ghost story from her comic book series The Masterpiece, with the help of a few audience members.
Presented for the first time as a live performance, Janice Kerbel's Nick Silver Can't Sleep tells a narcotic tale of
thwarted desire through the voice of six nocturnal plants.
This event is curated by Lizzie Carey-Thomas (Tate Britain), Katharine Stout (Tate Britain) and Lina Dzuverovic (Electra).

'27 SENSES' SUMMER RESIDENCIES IN ĊLESUND, NORWAY
Jutta Koether, Kenneth Goldsmith, Karl Holmqvist,
Carl Michael von Hausswolff
Electra is currently developing 27 Senses, a group exhibition for Kunstmuseet KUBE in Ċlesund, Norway, scheduled to open in September 2008.
The exhibition takes the life and work of artist Kurt Schwitters as a point of departure to investigate how ideas central to his work are manifesting themselves today across contemporary art and performance. With his eclectic practice spanning across painting, immersive installation, performance, typography, collage and sculpture, the work of Kurt Schwitters has influenced a wide range of contemporary artistic and performative practices. 27 Senses focuses on the time Kurt Schwitters spent in this region of Norway, in the 1930s, during which he even began to create a Merzbau in a small hut on the island of Hjertoya, near the town of Molde. 27 Senses will take over Kunstmuseet KUBE in September 2008 with a series of actions and a three month exhibition.
The first stage of 27 Senses is a summer visit to the region by four artists who will be taking part in the show along with the show's curator Lina Dzuverovic and Electra's Irene Revell.
The residency along with the development of 27 Senses will be documented on these pages.
