Inez have a new exibition!

03.14.08 THE OTHER WOMAN
In a new show, Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin investigate the power of female archetypes

The Dutch photographers Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin are known for many things—namely, their smart, glam, and perverse fashion editorials and portraits, as well as a keen understanding of women and the naked form. In the third installment of their continuing gallery series, "The Now People," the photo team turns its eye to female archetypes of past and present, from the earth mother and the goddess to the demon, the shaman, and the innocent. This runs the gamut of van Lamsweerde's self-portraits to studio photographs of supermodels like Carmen Kass and Raquel Zimmermann—often nude, often in black and white. The show also includes collaborations with the artist Eugene van Lamsweerde, whose scrap metal sculptures interact with the couple's photographs in extreme ways. In The Seance, for example, portraits of Lady Amanda Harlech are pierced by the Dutch sculptor's metalwork, bringing the photography out of the two-dimensional and into a new mixed-media sphere.

"The Now People Part Three: The Women" runs through May 3, 2008,
at Andreas Grimm, Munich. For information: www.andreasgrimmgallery.com

INEZ VAN LAMSWEERDE, VINOODH MATADIN AND EUGENE VAN LAMSWEERDE

March 14 – May 3, 2008
Opening: March 13, 2008, 7-9 pm

After a 6 year absence from the European exhibition circuit, Andreas Grimm Munich is pleased to present The Now People Part Three: The Women, by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin in collaboration with Eugene van Lamsweerde.

The show is the third installment of an ongoing series entitled The Now People which began in 2003 at the Matthew Marks Gallery in New York.

Part One: Paradise contained photographs depicting the modern day Adam, Eve and God.

Part Two: Life On Earth opened at the Matthew Marks Gallery in 2005 and was presented as a group show with M/M Paris and the sculptor Eugene van Lamsweerde as collaborators. This was the first time Inez and Vinoodh combined photography and sculpture. Together with Eugene, they produced several large-scale sculptures from industrial scrap metal and wax, some of which actually pierce the surface of the photographs.

Part Three: The Women includes some of the sculptural works from Life on Earth as well as an installation entitled The Seance, which is a collection of silk screened photographs pierced by metal as to actualize thoughts, energies, and emotions into a physical tangibility. Three large scale new photo works entitled Woman 1, 2 and 3 have been made specifically for this show that investigate the erotic portrait by means of sculpting the female face into a phallic shaped object.

This show contains only images of women ?" inspired by new and old female archetypes: the feminist, the object, the demon, the earth mother, the trickster, the shaman and the innocent.

[mint condish]

I think the Kate editorial is absolutely lovely.

 

[mikel]

^^They used that shot already for a couple exhibitions lame.

 

[BerlinRocks]

^the Part Three of the exhibition is about Women... So i guess it's logic that they show this picture....

But I wish we had some people whou could show images of the exhibition....
Nobody in München???

 

[mikel]

It may fit with the theme of the exhibition but they used that same image a couple of times already anymore hardly original.

 

[BerlinRocks]

Inez van Lamsweerde’s photography was the subject of a recent survey (with husband Vinoodh Matadin) at the Groninger Museum in Groningen, Netherlands. Their advertising work includes campaigns this season for Balenciaga, Helmut Lang, and Gucci.

ERIC ROHMER, L'Anglaise et le Duc

I have no idea when it will be released, but I can’t wait to see this eighty-year-old French writer/director’s first digitally shot period movie. Apparently all the scenes are filmed against a blue screen, with the characters dropped into hand-painted sets in postproduction. It seems quite a departure from Rohmer’s naturalistic depictions of suburban love triangles for which the gorgeous actresses–he likes a specific type of girl with wavy hair, extraordinary eyes, and a thin mouth—usually style themselves, create the sets, and sometimes decide on the music as well. None of his movies, though, lacks for brilliant, sensitive conversation that gives way to a literary investigation into the female psyche caught up in a web of coincidence and desire.

SEBASTIAAN BREMER

Finally this October we’ll be able to see this young painter’s work in full force at his first New York solo show, at Roebling Hall in Brooklyn. Well, painter . . . Bremer turns photographs, found or snapped, of himself and his family into trippy, dusty memories that, thanks to his layered pointillist technique, reveal the subconscious and the real world in the blink of an eye. By laboriously painting his poetic braille over fast snapshots, Bremer slows down time to render hauntingly beautiful interior landscapes.

Sebastiaan Bremer, Avila, 1999–2000, ink on color photograph, 20 x 24"

BRUCE STERLING, Tomorrow Now

Forget the ’60s sci-fi optimism and the ’90s apocalyptic vision of the future. Tomorrow, according to Sterling, could never be worse than today. His novels are clever sociological reviews of the future that take their beginnings from fantasizing on an in-depth knowledge of the technological, medical, cultural, and political transformations that drive social change. His idea of the look and feel of the twenty-first century will be written up in this next work, which he calls a “nonfiction book of anticipation.”

PAUL VERHOEVEN, Christ, the Man

It takes a Dutchman, of course, to become simultaneously a blatantly mainstream representative of and a subversive underground figure in America’s number one cultural product: The Movies. The man who gave us films like Turkish Delight, Basic Instinct, Total Recall, Showgirls, and Starship Troopers now turns his ruthless point of view on religion. Having given his diagnosis of American society, he is about to hold a mirror to our perception of the mystery man of all time. Although Verhoeven has flirted with the figure of Christ before—he’s even called his RoboCop an American Jesus—the new film is supposed to give a serious account of the political, economical, and cultural context of Jesus, based on fifteen years of methodical research.

BJÖRK, Vespertine

This Icelandic girl, of such radical and generous spirit, has produced an entire new album herself, working with a 120-member choir and orchestra at the same time. It’s an album about finding paradise at home, in the smallest things, just as she did while creating it. Appearing with her are friends like Matmos, Opiate, and Harmony Korine, some of whom will join her on tour. The first single, “Hidden Place,” is pure elegance and intimacy on an epic scale.

STÉPHANIE COHEN, Camille Judith Claire

June will see the first novel by this brilliant young writer who in my opinion will revolutionize French literature as we know it. With Camille Judith Claire, Cohen’s publisher Denoël is inaugurating the series “Format Utile,” dedicated to atypical literary work. Unique is what I would call Cohen’s fragmented, confrontational, partly autobiographical, and uncompromisingly beautiful way of handling language on paper. Apart from all that, the book contains one of the most breathtaking descriptions of love ever penned.

M/M, Café Montorgueil

Ever wanted to have a drink in a bar in Paris that didn’t look like a leftover from the Napoleonic era? Plan a trip to France in October, which is when the latest project by Paris-based art directors Michael Amzalag and Mathias Augustyniak, in collaboration with artists Pierre Huyghe and Philippe Parreno, will be completed. A café commissioned by the Costes family located at the Rue Etienne Marcel, the place will feature a robot DJ that forever plays the 2,001 songs the four boys chose to be programmed into its brain at the time of construction.

NICOLAS BOURRIAUD, Palais de Tokyo

The French are really getting it together by appointing Bourriaud as the codirector of the new museum of contemporary art in Paris opening at the end of the year (see interview, pp. 47–48). He describes the Palais de Tokyo as a kunsthalle-cum–production company that will address global issues yet remain driven by the problematics of contemporary art. There will also be the Pavillon, an international program for artists, serving as an experimental satellite. Before going so large-scale, Bourriaud was responsible for putting young French artists into context in his book Esthétique Relationnelle, in which he verbalizes the current generation’s obsession with producing art that allows one to experience a time and space rather than creating material objects that remain at a remove from the social world—a personal art that reinvestigates the relation between human beings and the larger system.

CHRIS CUNNINGHAM, Neuromancer

I can’t wait. It’s about time someone made a film out of William Gibson’s brilliant cyberpunk novel, and who better than Cunningham, the director of such insanely beautiful music videos as Aphex Twin’s “Windowlicker” and Björk’s “All Is Full of Love”? Scheduled to be released God knows when, this one should be so full of visual overdrive that it could influence decades of fashion, art, and lifestyle in general. Gibson’s Neuromancer imagines the emergence of a mass digital collective consciousness in an unspecified future. These data take a shape that, when artificial intelligence is inserted into the mix, becomes some sort of deity. Can’t wrap your head around it? Try making it into a film.

WORLD PEACE

I can't wait for this one either.

as i was looking for reviews about their exhibition in München, i found this on artforum...
it's from 2001...

 

[mikel]

I'm originally from Groningen, way up in the north of Holland. That exhibition was held at the same time as the Viktor & Rolf retrospective in the same musueum. I rememeber seeing big posters of Kate Mosse everywhere in town, but it was before I became interested in fashion so didn't go because I thought it was lame. I still regret it to this day

 

[BerlinRocks]

about the exhibition in München....
their exhibited work is from 2005 (for instance Explode : Daria posted in #574) to 2008 (Carmen Kass's portraits that are also the posters of the exhibition)....
They also exhibit pictures from Self Service spread with Shalom and Raquel (2006),

most of the old pictures from Vogue Paris Calendar, old spread from H&B with Kate Moss (around 2001), fabulous spread of Jessica Miller in the nature from Vogue Paris (once again reworked) etc. are reworked into sculptures.... with the help of Eugene Van L.
(they started this process in 2005)

the price are INSANE!!!!
I had no idea Inez & Vinoodh were that expensive....
the highest price is almost 100.000€ for their famous Bird of Paradise
Shalom and Raquel editorial pictures (only 2, in 6 editions) are more than 20.000€ but approx. 190 x 130cm
Carmen Kass are same price, same dimensions and same number of edition....

smaller pieces are btw 3000 and 4000€....

The Seance is a serie of medium selfportraits still mixed with metal sculptures...

 

[BerlinRocks]

here are some photos from the previous Now People...
you can see some of their works that are exhibited now in München (Bird of Paradise, Eplode : Daria the selfportrait, Exclamation Mark, or the skull). But i don't think there's the big photo-wall in Now People 3...
a video too : http://www.mugmetdegoudentand.nl/mugweb/inez-tnp2.html

here is something from theimagist:

Hiss Squad Alert: Inez and Vinoodh For Gucci FW 08?


Submitted by Wayne on Wed, 2008-03-26 18:28. The art stance has proven to be very lucrative for I&V
The Hiss Squad's Paris Chapter (our favorite) beamed some fascinating news in this weekend. Seems there was a summit of some sort between the increasingly self-assured Frida Gianni and the power photo-duo of Inez and Vinoodh regarding the next Gucci campaign. The first time I&V visited Gucci, it was Tom's house and the result was the "coffin" series with a cropped blonde Kate and a fascinating passing fancy named Elenora Bose . Now it is looking to be a longstanding part of their iconography. The team has been on a campaign and editorial rampage with amazing edits in Vogue Paris and Vogues Hommes International that is -may we say it one more time- run to the newstand brilliant. And what can you say about this incredible Adriana Lima GQ cover currently riding the NY newstands.
