Xerolage 43—Matina L. Stamatakis

Grapyrus

Matina Stamatakis has "arrived" even if the rest of the world has been too slow to realize it. Her newest "art/non" textscape is a veritable plum pudding of ruthless extravagance, a cryptological scherzo written in "sanscript", so to speak. Teasing out texture from text, this most recent offering from the Xerolage series has a haunting aspect that unites papyri and the phantom after-effects of words in constant stochastic exile. In essence, Stamatakis "writes" perpetually double, the reflection upon a surface of "lin/geist" that judders with an ekphrastic motion of the cinematic or photographic double-take.

—Kane X. Faucher

Tombstones and footprints, prehistoric imperial Chinese silk distressed and preserved in airtight tombs, Sapphic papyrus scrolls used as winding sheets for the human dead: languaged shapes (letters, glyphs, cuneiform, runes) layer each other on multidimensional, neonic, poly-textural surfaces that glow through the eras, aeons and ages. Evocative of sound, syntax and melismatic intution, these works are endlessly resonant through time, space, and mind, expanding them all.

—Maria Damon

In Matina Stamatakis’ Grapyrus, an utterly fresh light unveils antiquities. Under the cold glare of the photocopier’s bulb new thoughts are seared onto the richly textured venerability of the page. Here is a vibrantly dark art that does not merely mimic or ape antediluvian roots, but consciously honors and revises them, relentlessly refreshing deep-seeded threads of thought. Flourishing gestures of contemporary graffiti no longer deface or elide, but honor; the visually brutalizing process of Xeroxing accentuates, antiques. Xerolage 43-Matina StamatakisHere papyrus and spray paint conspire to create a Rosetta stone for the hermetic communiqués scribbled on bathroom walls. The "reader" wanders through a nonexistent city, inexplicably entranced by the tattered posters pasted to crumbling edifices, and couldn’t be happier to be so utterly lost.

—John Moore Williams

FLUXHIBITION #3
JULY, 2009
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Cecil,
Fluxhibition #2 was a great success thanks to all of the great contributions see the catalog at: http://fluxmuseum.org/
I had planned on Fluxhibition #3 being in 2010 HOWEVER a venue become available for this summer. There is a current Collage Museum call out for an exhibition entitled Thinking Inside of the Box - A Survey of Box Assemblage Art see: (http://collagemuseum.com/thinking-box-call-for-works.html) Deadline May 15th ( PARTICIPATE IN THIS ONE TOO!).

I thought that, since I was able to secure the university venue, it would be great to invite my fluxfriends to contribute a fluxbox for Fluxhibition #3 and later I will combine the two bodies of box works for an additional exhibit later in 2009 or in 2010. So your Fluxbox contribution will get at least double exposure.

OMAGGIO A LOTTA POETICA
74 artisti e una rivista
dal 16 maggio al 30 settembre 2009

a cura di Melania Gazzotti e Nicole Zanoletti

Fondazione Berardelli
Via Milano 107
Brescia

inaugurazione: 16 maggio, h. 17:00

(fino al 30 settembre)

*

Dopo aver presentato le personali di Ugo Carrega, Pierre Garnier, Bernard Aubertin, Julien Blaine, Sarenco, Hans Clavin e Jean-François Bory, la Fondazione Berardelli inaugura il 16 maggio per la prima volta una mostra collettiva, con più di settanta artisti internazionali. Le opere esposte vogliono rendere omaggio alla rivista d’avanguardia Lotta Poetica, pubblicata negli anni settanta e ottanta, e sono eseguite dai numerosi collaboratori che hanno reso questa testata una delle più sperimentali e longeve nel panorama dell’esoeditoria europea. Sono stati così raccolti più di settecentocinquanta lavori spediti dagli artisti: collage, dattiloscritti, disegni e dipinti dei quali in mostra sarà presentata una selezione. Verranno esposti inoltre affianco alle opere i numeri più interessanti della rivista, di cui la Fondazione Berardelli possiede la raccolta completa.

Hanno partecipato all’operazione, vicina alla pratica artistica della mail-art, poeti visivi e concreti provenienti da tutto il mondo, tra i quali Fernando Andolcetti, Giovanni Fontana, Arrigo Lora Totino, Eugenio Miccini, Lamberto Pignotti, Sarenco (Italia), Heinz Gappmayr (Austria), Luc Fierens (Belgio), Julien Blaine, Jean-François Bory, Pierre Garnier (Francia), John Furnival, Hansjorg Mayer (Inghilterra), Hans Clavin (Olanda), J.M Calleja (Spagna), Ladislav Novak, Karel Trinkewitz, Jiri Valoch (Repubblica Ceca), Alain Arias-Misson (Usa), Edgardo A. Vigo (Argentina), Paulo Bruschky (Brasile), Takahashi Sohachiro, Hiroshi Tanabu (Giappone) etc..

Lotta Poetica viene pubblicata a partire dal giugno del 1971 fino al novembre del 1987. Nata da un’idea di Paul de Vree e Sarenco, viene da questi redatta nella sua prima serie, per poi passare nella seconda unicamente sotto la direzione di Sarenco e nella terza e ultima da Eugenio Miccini e Sarenco. Vi collaborano numerosi artisti e poeti che operano a livello internazionale, pubblicando testi teorici, recensioni, interviste, immagini di opere e anche lavori appositamente pensati per la rivista.
L’intento, come si evince dal titolo stesso, è quello non solo di far conoscere le avanguardie artistiche del periodo ma anche di portare avanti una critica militante nei confronti dei meccanismi del mondo e del mercato dell’arte, letto all’interno dei grandi cambiamenti sociali e politici di quegli anni.

_TERRITORIAL POINT OF VIEW

50° nord contemporary art review offers a platform for the art world of the Nord - Pas de Calais region and the Nord Euroregion, with discussion on the artworks and their different means of expression, thus providing a record of the territory’s artistic activity.

50° nord contemporary art review examines the data and issues relating to the varied contemporary creative output of a network of committed artists whose diversity is its strongpoint. The review offers both a retrospective and prospective vision of contemporary art within the region and provides an ‘in progress’ report of the value of a territory as ground for experimentation.

50° nord contemporary art review is distinguished by the presence of a region within a pluralist and decentralised rationale. The purpose of this project is to provoke writing as part of the regional art scene, alongside critical contributions from both professional and amateur critics, art professionals, art lovers and the region’s academics, researchers and students.

_CRITICAL POINT OF VIEW

50° nord contemporary art review focuses on the various disciplinary and inter-disciplinary practices of visual arts that each member-structure of the network endeavours to promote. It supports the dialogue of artists and writers undertaking experimental or daring creations that challenge prevalent values. The review also reports on the activities of 50° nord as an association of structures and highlights the ins and outs of the development of regional networks in France.

———————

50 ° nord
The contemporary art network of the Nord - Pas de Calais region (France) and the Nord Euroregion

Created in 1996 by small and medium-sized organisations, the 50° nord network now links more than 30 professional structures of production, promotion and higher education training courses in the field of contemporary art within the Euroregional territory. Associative galleries, art centres, itinerant structures, artists’ associations, museums, Frac and educational establishments are all involved in developing quality arts projects in a wide variety of contexts.

These venues carry out complementary activities and demonstrate the wealth of the network’s contemporary creative output. As a professional forum, a catalyst of energies and federal projects, 50° nord works towards the expansion of its network and the promotion of its members, as well as towards the enhancement of the regional art scene in general, and the promotion of contemporary art to the largest possible audience.

50° nord is one of France’s leading regional contemporary art networks. Transversal actions of reciprocity and ‘territorial’ expression constitute a new way, henceforth vital, of dividing the cultural map and conceiving artistic projects. It was with this in mind that we created 50° nord contemporary art review.
