ACCELERATION in Switzerland ［May 13 - June 30, 2007］

Accélération will gather about thirty Swiss and international artists whose works meet up the topic of acceleration in a time of globalization. The matter will not be to focus too heavily on the phenomenon of speed, comprehended as a motion of objects in a determined space, but to grasp, through works, what makes the topicality of the subjective sensation of acceleration in our society. Acceleration of glimpsed images, of passing information, of experienced situations, of the number of manipulated objects, which fit in fine in the acceleration of obsolescence.



In the Ancienne halle du Karting in Serrières, the acceleration will turn into a very demonstrative way. A video will stage a cube composed of hundred thousands pieces of sugar (Kader Attia) which gradually melts, absorbed by a liquid – petrol – symbol of a certain state of nowadays world. A wall painting (Karim Noureldin) will display her scattered rhythm in the space, which will thus be simultaneously underlined and redefined. A cycle of photographs (Patrick Weidmann) will offer the human eye the show of luxurious objects in a perfect design, but meant to a quick obsolescence.




A film (Tobias Bernstrup) will introduce the reconstruction of Shanghai skyline – a city continuously mutating– in the shape of a very realistic model supplied with a threatening creature. The design, as a formal repertoire in a continuous reinterpretation of its origins, will query also several works of a second discourse.



At CAN, the acceleration will turn into a more meditative way. Several huge Christ made of bronze (Will Delvoye) stretching in order to form circles will suggest an allegory of the need to turn back to oneself, sensed today as an answer to the daily alienation. A vast luminous box beam (Henrik Plenge Jakobsen) will highlight a famous sentence by Democritus. Or, additionally, a vast installation (Martin Widmer) will enable the viewer to confide his/her intimacy to a machine looking like a high-tech tomb.

COOL Vol.13 COMING SOON!!

In the beginning of the spring, there were remarkable exhibitions held one after another in New York. This issue features the reports of especially outstanding ones, such as Jeff Wall’s exhibition at MoMA, Taryn Simon’s at Whitney Museum, and the exhibitions by Japanese photographers and visual artists like Kaoru Izima and Miwa Yanagi. What’s more, as the interview of the landscape photographer Michael Kenna, who is also popular in Japan, will be the front article, fans of photography and visual arts won’t be able to resist getting excited of this new edition of COOL.

Michael Kenna, the titan of landscape photograph, keeps attracting people with his unique prints which reminds of Japanese ink printing. He visits Hokkaido almost every year, and this winter he conducted photo shoots at Lake Kussharo, which he explains as the “most memorable place” for him. He shot the black-and-white pictures of “the most beautiful moments” taken out from his encounters with nature in his own and unique way. COOL looks into his aesthetic, which is backed up by his brilliant sense and spirit.

Roppongi is getting more vibrant with the opening of Tokyo Midtown, and there is a new art spot called “Art Triangle Roppongi” in the heart of it. The triangle of Mori Museum, The National Art Center, and Suntory Museum is expected to be the world-renowned trend-setting base of Japanese arts for the next generation.
