This new turn to realism, best recognized by a 1925 exhibition in Mannheim, Neue Sachlichkeit (of
which New Objectivity is the English translation), has at times been called Post-Expressionism,
neo-naturalism, Verism, and Magic Realism. The diverse group of artists associated with this new
realism was not unified by manifesto, political tendency, or geography, they shared a skepticism
regarding the direction Germany society was taking in the years following World War I and an
awareness of the human isolation these changes brought about.
Germany’s financial, sociopolitical, and emotional defeat in WWI took a profound toll on the nation.
In contrast to their Expressionist predecessors—who had enthusiastically embraced the war
before confronting its harrowing realities on the battlefield—practitioners of the New Objectivity
movement were disillusioned with the complex realities of the new Germany. Digressing from Expressionism’s
penchant for bold, abstract subjectivity, the Weimar Republic’s burgeoning group of
artists favored realism, precision, objective sobriety, and the appropriation of Old Master painting
techniques, including a nostalgic return to portraiture and heightened attention to the appearance
of surface.
New Objectivity: Modern German Art in the Weimar Republic, 1919–1933 is organized into five
thematic sections: Life in Democracy and the Aftermath of the War examines both the polar
conditions dividing Germany’s rising bourgeoisie and those suffered most from the war’s
aftereffects, including maimed war veterans, the unemployed, prostitutes, and victims of political
corruption and violence; The City and the Nature of Landscape addresses the growing
disparity between an increasingly industrialized urbanity and nostalgic longing for the pastoral;
Still Life and Commodities highlights a new form of the traditional still life in which quotidian
objects–often indicative of mass production–are staged to create object-portraits; Man and
Machine looks to artists’ attempts to reconcile the transformative yet dehumanizing effects of
rapid industrialization; and lastly, New Identities: Type and Portraiture showcases a new trend
in portraiture in which subjects are rendered as social typecasts rather than individual subjects.
Stephanie Barron, Exhibition Curator and Senior Curator of Modern Art at LACMA, said,
“Close examinations of this period still yield new insights into a complicated chapter in modern
German art. With very different backgrounds, these artists—some among the most well-known
artists of the century, while others are virtually unknown outside Germany—eschewed emotion,
gesture, and ecstasy, and sought instead to record and unmask the world around them with a
close, impersonal, restrained gaze. Together, they created a collective portrait of a society in uneasy
transition, in images that are as striking today as they were in their own time.”

“There is no doubt that New Objectivity’s many approaches to realism—sometimes critical or satirical;
sometimes chilly and unperturbed, or amazing and magical; other times devoted to rendering
the world in minute detail, or observing it through the distortion produced by the photographic
lens—provided vivid artistic solutions to the challenges of a tumultuous era,” said Gabriella Belli

Yves Hayat, Hermès Bag with barbed wire
(Femmes au bord de la crise de guerre series)

YVES HAYAT belongs to that category of remarkable artists who have something to say and
who says it with such talent that they stamp their impression on the art of our time. His works,
modern, contemporary, are however the product of a deeply classical culture. Thanks to all the
techniques which belong to our time: photography, superimposition of images, etc…. he creates
an original work rooted in the human cultural heritage but which, through the strength of its subjects,
conveys every dimension of our era.
Through a strictly artistic approach, Yves Hayat expresses a philosophical thought, not in complicated
words but by speaking to our senses, in a clear, untortured way. He presents the essence
of our human condition and of our time, bringing out its distinctive characteristics and its
violence (…)

IDEES NOIRES

Inkjet print on transparent film, burnt and included in
plexiglass boxes 15 x 20 x 6 cm, ed. 8 & 30 x 40 x 10 cm, ed. 3

The originality of Yves Hayat’s works lies in the amalgam of artistic perception with the images
from a communication and information based society. The titles he gives to his works (Business
must go on, Parfum de Révolte, the Icons are Tired, Idées Noires …), utterly high jacked
advertising slogans, have the effect of giving a meaning to the pollution of our everyday lives.
They reveal our identity and display our own brand. Not a celebration of barbarity, but rather the
fascination created by human ambivalence (…).

PARFUM DE REVOLTE
Inkjet print on transparent film, burnt and included in plexiglass boxes
15 x 20 x 6 cm, ed. 20 & 30 x 40 x 10 cm, ed. 3
The Arab Spring is certainly a “popular” topic for contemporary artists to reflect upon in their work. It’s highly relevant, it’s in the news and many art institutions and galleries are eager to seize the moment and through these artists’ visions present their own mirror to the global political unrest.
In the recent years many artists of Arab descent have chosen quite a few unique means for expressing their thoughts and feelings about the current events in the Middle East. Some chose graphic literal forms and language, and some found much more subtle yet no less powerful tools to express themselves. Such was the body of work by a French artist of Egyptian descent Yves Hayat.
Hayat, an established artist best known for his photographic works, chose an iconic image recognizable the world over. But the true meaning of these layered transparent film prints, encased in clear plexiglass boxes, becomes apparent only if you give each image the careful consideration it deserves. Suddenly this object of beauty and desire assumes a far more sinister personality. Juxtaposed
within one object the outlined images of the sculpted Chanel N. 5 bottles and the words Baghdad, Kabul, Homs, Istanbul, Lhassa in their clean, unobstructed, elegant fonts appear menacing. As Mark Hachem, the owner of the eponymous gallery in Paris tells us, that is the point.
The artist’s intention is to draw our collective attention to the West’s underlaying intention for launching wars, consumerization
of the conflict zones and the imposition of a capitalist system, a Western culture of heightened consumerism
onto cultures foreign to it. With elegance and subtlety Hayat points to these various forms of colonization using instantly
recognizable imagery and allowing the viewer to complete the narrative without a single superfluous word.
Art Southampton 2013, iInterview of Mark hachem by Kristina Nazarevskaia © galleryIntell 2013

LES ICONES SONT FATIGUEES / THE ICONS ARE TIRED

(…) Enclosed in Plexiglass boxes, the «Icons are tired,» are the sleepy faces of celebrities : Dali and Frida Kahlo,
Che Guevara and Marilyn Monroe, Jim Morrison and Mao. Those faces are marked by the deterioration of an
old and burnt film. Yves Hayat, real navigator in a virtual time, doesn’t hesitate to close the eyes of those he
represents. This universe of consumed icons, finally shows in a mirror, through the system of advertising and
fashion, receiving the reflection of the same seductive look returned to Narcisse by the pond which reflected,
sentencing him to solitude, and tends to exclude dialogue with the otherness .(…)
Viana Conti
Yves Hayat_nel Mito digitale dell’immagine per una Riscrittura del Corpo – Genova october 2008 – Translated from Italian

YVES HAYAT

Originally from Egypt, Yves Hayat first developed his aesthetic sensibilities living in this country enriched with history and cultural diversity. Art was his first love. In 1956, after the Egyptian Revolution, Hayat left for France. For five years, he studied Art at the Ecole Nationale des Arts Décoratifs of Nice.

In 1973, Hayat chooses to go into advertising and marketing, which led him to open his own agency. The creative trade captive Hayat. His experience in the field also enabled him to discover and learn to use new forms of technologies, and to master his techniques. In the 1990s, equipped with those skills, he decided to return to the Art and rediscovers the old masters, photographing people, the streets, society products, museum paintings and recuperating magazine and web images which are carefully classified. Hayat is a perfect example of his time: an open mind on society, its streets, its media, its internet. While running his successful advertising business, he starts to show his artwork in galleries. Soon, his art activity took precedence over his profession, which he stopped in 2002.

Although Yves Hayat does not consider himself as a painter, photographer or designer, he is widely known as a “plasticien”, an untranslatable French term that refers to an artist who puts the meaning of his work to the fore and uses all the various media artistic expression, all the techniques and supports to express it.

Yves Hayat explains : “I admit that I’m more interest in manipulating reality than in recording it. My artwork between photography, installation and “Figuration Narrative” proposes visions where theatricalization is a part of the project. I am a total visual consumer: I film, download, scan, retouch…. as the director of a new reality. Using superimpositions, shifts, misappropriations, I confront past and present, beauty and horror, luxury and violence, indifference and fanaticism. Through a questioning about the art/ politic/ media relations, I try to conceive a critical art work where the attraction for the culture of media, cinema and advertising shows through. Using modern techniques, my work proposes a report of what our history and our society have thought, generated, transformed, destroyed… while always keeping in mind that when the work of Art creates unrest, it evacuates the common place”.

As François Birembaux wrote, YVES HAYAT belongs to that category of remarkable artists who have something to say and who says it with such talent that they stamp their impression on the art of our time. His works, modern, contemporary, are however the product of a deeply classical culture. Thanks to all the techniques which belong to our time: photography, superimposition of images, etc…. he creates an original work rooted in the human cultural heritage but which, through the strength of its subjects, conveys every dimension of our era.

Through a strictly artistic approach, Yves Hayat expresses a philosophical thought, not in complicated words but by speaking to our senses, in a clear, untortured way. He presents the essence of our human condition and of our time, bringing out its distinctive characteristics and its violence (…)

They reveal our identity and display our own brand. Not a celebration of barbarity, but rather the fascination created by human ambivalence (…).
EXHIBITIONS :
Since 2006, Yves Hayat exhibited for solo shows in Paris, Vienna, Cologne, Geneva, Brussels, Greece, Kuwait, Beirut, Monaco, Cannes… and New York and Istanbul in 2015

Agnes Martin born 1912
American abstract painter born in Maklin, Saskatchewan, Canada. Moved to the USA in 1932. Studied at universities in Oregon, California and New Mexico. Became a US citizen 1940. Attended Teachers College at Columbia University, New York, from 1941-2 and 1951-2, studying first history and social studies, then changing to fine arts. Painted still lifes and portraits until c.1952-4 when she developed an abstract biomorphic style influenced by Abstract Expressionism, with pale washes of colour. Taught at the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, 1954-6, then lived in Taos 1956-7; returned to New York 1957. First one-woman exhibition at the Betty Parsons Gallery, New York, 1958. Through contacts with artists such as Kelly and Reinhardt, began to experiment with symmetrical compositions of rectangles or circles within a square, then from c.1960-1 to work with grids of delicate horizontal and vertical lines. Left New York in 1967 shortly after the death of Reinhardt and moved to Cuba, New Mexico, where she lives now.

Agnes Martin Friendship 1963
incised gold leaf and gesso on canvasMuseum of Modern Art, New York

Agnes Martin is perhaps most recognised for her evocative paintings marked out in subtle pencil lines and pale colour washes. Although restrained, her style was underpinned by her deep conviction in the emotive and expressive power of art. Martin believed that spiritual inspiration and not intellect created great work. ‘Without awareness of beauty, innocence and happiness’ Martin wrote ‘one cannot make works of art’.
Martin lived and worked in New York, becoming a key figure in the male-dominated fields of 1950s and 1960s abstraction. Then in 1967, just as her art was gaining acclaim, Martin abandoned the city and went in search of solitude and silence. For almost two years she travelled across the US and Canada before finally settling in New Mexico as Georgia O’Keeffe, Mark Rothko, DH Lawrence and Edward Hopper had done before her. Working within tightly prescribed limits she imposed on her own practice Martin was able to continue to make extraordinary, visionary paintings, for over three decades until her death in 2004.
This is the first retrospective of Martin’s work since 1994. Covering the full breadth of her practice, this extensive exhibition will reveal Martin’s early and little known experiments with different media and trace her development from biomorphic abstraction to the mesmerising grid and striped canvases that became her hallmark.

Sonia Delaunay (1885–1979) was a key figure in the Parisian avant-garde and became the European doyenne of abstract art.
Throughout the first half of the twentieth century, she celebrated the modern world of movement, technology and urban life, exploring new ideas about colour theory together with her husband Robert Delaunay.
This will be the first UK retrospective to assess the breadth of her vibrant artistic practice across a wide range of media. It will feature the groundbreaking paintings, textiles and clothes she made across a sixty-year career, as well as the results of her innovative collaborations with poets, choreographers and manufacturers, from Diaghilev to Liberty.

Sonia Delaunay (1885–1979) was a key figure in the Parisian avant-garde, whose vivid and colourful work spanned painting, fashion and design. From 15 April 2015, Tate Modern will present the first UK retrospective to assess the breadth of her vibrant artistic career, from her early figurative painting in the 1900s to her energetic abstract work in the 1960s. This exhibition will offer a radical reassessment of Delaunay’s importance as an artist, showcasing her originality and creativity across the twentieth century.

Born in Odessa and trained in Germany, Sonia Delaunay (née Stern, then Terk) came to Paris in 1906 to join the emerging avant-garde. She met and married the artist Robert Delaunay, with whom she developed ‘Simultaneism’ – abstract compositions of dynamic contrasting colours and shapes. Many iconic examples of these works will be brought together at Tate Modern, including Bal Bullier 1913 and Electric Prisms 1914. Her work expressed the energy of modern urban life, celebrating the birth of electric street lighting and the excitement of contemporary ballets and ballrooms.

The EY Exhibition: Sonia Delaunay will show how the artist dedicated her life to experimenting with colour and abstraction, bringing her ideas off the canvas and into the world through tapestry, textiles, mosaic and fashion. Delaunay premiered her first ‘simultaneous dress’ of bright patchwork colours in 1913 and opened a boutique in Madrid in 1918. Her Atelier Simultané in Paris went on to produce radical and progressive designs for scarves, umbrellas, hats, shoes and swimming costumes throughout the 1920s and 1930s. Clients included the Hollywood star Gloria Swanson and the architect Erno Goldfinger, as well department stores like Metz & Co and Liberty. The exhibition will reveal how Delaunay’s designs presented her as a progressive woman synonymous with modernity: embroidering poetry onto fabric, turning her apartment into a three-dimensional collage, and creating daring costumes for Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes.

The diverse inspirations behind Delaunay’s work will also be explored, from the highly personal approach to colour which harked back to her childhood in Russia, to the impact of her years in Spain and Portugal where she painted Market in Minho 1915 and Flamenco Singers 1915-16. The show will also reveal the inspiration provided by modern technology throughout Delaunay’s career, from the Trans-Siberian Railway to the aeroplane, and from the Eiffel Tower to the electric light bulb. It will also include her vast seven-metre murals Motor, Dashboard and Propeller, created for the 1937 International Exposition in Paris and never before shown in the UK.

Following her husband’s death in 1941, Sonia Delaunay’s work took on more formal freedom, including rhythmic compositions in angular forms and harlequin colours, which in turn inspired geometric tapestries, carpets and mosaics. Delaunay continued to experiment with abstraction in the post-war era, just as she had done since its birth in the 1910s, becoming a champion for a new generation of artists and an inspiring figure for creative practitioners to this day.

The EY Exhibition: Sonia Delaunay is curated at Tate Modern by Juliet Bingham, Curator International Art, with Juliette Rizzi, Assistant Curator, and was organised by the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, Paris-Musées and Tate Modern. The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully-illustrated catalogue from Tate Publishing and a programme of talks and events in the gallery.

Notes to editors

The EY Exhibition

The EY Exhibition: Sonia Delaunay is part of the three-year arts partnership between EY and Tate. This follows The EY Exhibition: Paul Klee – Making Visible which ran at Tate Modern from 14 October 2013 to 9 March 2014 and The EY Exhibition: Late Turner – Painting Set Free which runs at Tate Britain from 10 September 2014 to 25 January 2015. The partnership helps Tate to realise its ambitious arts programme across Tate Modern and Tate Britain, with EY’s support being extended through corporate memberships at Tate Liverpool, Tate St Ives and at many of the Plus Tate partners around the country. The partnership, announced in July 2013 makes EY one of the largest corporate supporters of Tate.

Martin Cook, Managing Partner Commercial, UK & Ireland at EY, said:
“Delaunay was a pioneer of colour and abstraction and an important figure in 20th century art. We are delighted that The EY Exhibition: Sonia Delaunay is part of the arts partnership between EY and Tate. This unique relationship is an example of how EY teams with other organisations that share our commitment to diverse perspectives and creating inclusive cultures and thus contributes to our purpose of building a better working world.”

What happens to the void, an essential and utopic category of modernity, in contemporaneity? Contemporaneity is characterised by the simultaneous presence of multiple, often incompatible times, places, subjectivities and socialities. Everything is here at once and slipping away at the same time. The fragmentation of the contemporary corresponds to the fragmentation of the void, whose qualities can only be experienced through the presence of its absence. The exhibition is an enquiry into these qualities, refracted by contemporaneity. In the exhibited works, emptiness can be found in escapism, existential issues, in absence and disintegration, in the systematic and aleatoric production of content, in utopic and dystopic scenarios, in overload.

Fabian Patzak und Frank Webster nähern sich dem jeweiligen urbanen Umfeld auf sehr ähnliche, aber doch völlig eigenständige Weise. Bei Patzak sind es streng komponierte und eher im gedeckten Farbbereich verbleibende Ölbilder, die stets wie eine aufgeräumte, auf das Wesentliche reduzierte Version des gezeigten Bauwerks wirken. Bei seinem New Yorker Kollegen Webster hingegen sieht man oft leuchtendes Abend- oder Morgenrot mit scherenschnittartig gemalten Baumkronen und Gebäudeschatten als Hauptmotive. Die für diese Schau entstandenen Bilder ermöglichen dem Besucher die bisher unbekannte Schönheit modernistischer Bauten in Europa oder scheinbar verlassener Orte in New York zu entdecken. Sowohl Webster als auch Patzak lassen sich auf der Suche nach ihren Motiven durch die Stadt treiben und erkunden mit Vorliebe die urbanen Randzonen. Nicht zuletzt ist in beiden Oeuvres eine anfänglich vielleicht etwas verborgene, aber umso wirksamere gesellschaftskritische Tendenz zu verzeichnen. Urbanismus wird hier mit den Mitteln der Malerei auf eine völlig neue Ebene gehoben, können diese Bilder doch auch als Abgesang auf eine womöglich bald verschwundene Facette unseres modernen Habitats Großstadt gesehen werden.

Deichtorhallen Hamburg

PICASSO IN DER KUNST DER GEGENWART

1. APRIL – 12. JULI 2015

HALLE FÜR AKTUELLE KUNST

Presse: Montag, 30. März 2015 | 11 Uhr

Es sprechen Prof. Barbara Kisseler, Kultursenatorin,

Dr. Klaus Wehmeier, Stellv. Vorsitzender des Vorstands der Körber-Stiftung,

Dr. Dirk Luckow, Intendant der Deichtorhallen Hamburg und Diana Widmaier Picasso.

Picasso verkörpert wie kein anderer Künstler die Kunst des 20. Jahrhunderts. Er wurde bewundert, aber auch gehasst, man feierte, studierte und kopierte ihn. Seine Malerei und sein künstlerischer Individualismus haben sich bis heute nicht verbraucht. »Picassos Kunst hat heute deshalb eine so große Wirkung«, so Ausstellungskurator Dirk Luckow, »weil sich Werk und Person nicht auseinanderdividieren lassen und das Werk dadurch exemplarisch erscheint. Es ist unter politischen wie formalen Gesichtspunkten faszinierend und aktuell geblieben. Die Auswirkungen des Jahrhundertgenies auf die Gegenwartskunst werden noch immer unterschätzt.«

Anlässlich ihres 25-jährigen Bestehens zeigen die Deichtorhallen Hamburg vom 1. April bis 12. Juli 2015 eine groß angelegte Ausstellung zum Thema »Picasso in der Kunst der Gegenwart«. Als Eröffnungspräsentation in der aufwendig sanierten und modernisierten Halle für aktuelle Kunst der Deichtorhallen ist die Schau dem überwältigenden Spektrum moderner und zeitgenössischer künstlerischer Sichtweisen auf Picasso gewidmet. Rund 200 Leihgaben u.a. aus der Tate Modern, London oder dem Centre Pompidou, Paris von 87 internationalen Künstlerinnen und Künstlern kreisen um Picasso und seinen Folgen für die Kunst, ohne einen einzigen Picasso zu zeigen. Zwischen Verehrung, intellektueller Assimilation und Neuinterpretation machen die Werke von namhaftesten Künstlern wie Georg Baselitz, Brassaï, Sophie Calle, Marlene Dumas, Jasper Johns, Martin Kippenberger, Roy Lichtenstein und Robert Longo die Aktualität von Picassos Werk deutlich.

NHM Wien

Am Dienstag,  24. März 2015, können Kinder im NHM Wien der ESA-Astronautin Samantha Cristoferetti

auf der Internationalen Raumstation ISS über eine Live-Videoschaltung Fragen stellen.

REMINDER: Mission X In-Flight-Call zur ISS im NHM Wien
Im Naturhistorischen Museum Wien stellen Kinder Fragen an das Weltall

Am Dienstag, den 24. März 2015 um 14:00 Uhr, findet im NHM Wien ein sogenannter „In-Flight-Call“ statt. Dabei können Kinder im Rahmen des Projektes „Mission X“ der italienischen ESA-Astronautin Samantha Cristoferetti auf der Internationalen Raumstation ISS live Fragen stellen.

Noch bis Mitte Mai 2015 rast die ESA-Astronautin Samantha Cristoferetti mit ihrem russischen und amerikanischen Kollegen in der Internationalen Raumstation ISS in rund 400 km Höhe alle eineinhalb Stunden einmal um die Erde. Ein spannender Arbeitsplatz mit großartiger Aussicht, ein Büro mit hochwertigen Elektronikprodukten, ein Ort an dem Weltraumforschung betrieben wird.

Am Dienstag, dem 24. März 2015 ab 14:00 Uhr findet im NHM Wien ein sogenannter „In-Flight-Call“ statt. Dabei können Kinder im Rahmen des Projektes „Mission X“ der italienischen ESA-Astronautin Samantha Cristoferetti  live Fragen stellen. Insgesamt kommen 16 Schulklassen aus den Bundesländern in das NHM Wien um bei diesem Event einen Live-Einblick in die Welt der Internationalen Raumstation zu erhalten. Auch Schulklassen aus Trient (Italien) und Madrid (Spanien) sind über Live-Schaltungen beteiligt.  Die Regie der Übertragung führt die ESA in Noordwijk in den Niederlanden. Der In-Flight-Call in Wien wird von Peter Habison, dem Projektleiter von Mission X in Österreich, moderiert.

Journalistinnen und Journalisten sind herzlich eingeladen, dabei zu sein! Bitte um Akkreditierung unter presse@nhm-wien.ac.at

Mission X – train like an Astronaut
Mission X ist ein von NASA und ESA initiiertes internationales Schulprojekt mit den Schwerpunkten Fitness, Ernährung und Wissenschaft. Das Projekt bringt Schülerinnen und Schüler dazu, „wie Astronautinnen und Astronauten zu trainieren“. Die Weltgesundheitsorganisation WHO hat Übergewicht von Kindern als eines der ernsthaftesten Gesundheitsprobleme des 21. Jahrhunderts ausgemacht. Richtige Ernährung, körperliche Betätigung und Gesundheit sind die besten Antworten auf dieses Problem. Da Astronautinnen und Astronauten die essentielle Rolle von sportlicher Betätigung für den Erfolg von Missionen kennen, ist es Ziel des Projektes, von den Trainingsmethoden der Astronauten zu lernen und das Gelernte in die zukünftigen Ausbildungsmöglichkeiten der Kinder zu integrieren. Das Projekt findet in 28 Ländern weltweit statt, ca. 25.000 Kinder nehmen 2015 daran teil, über 400 davon in Österreich.

In-Flight Call
Am 24.3.2015 wird im Rahmen des Projektes gemeinsam mit dem Naturhistorischen Museum Wien ein sogenannter „In-Flight Call“ zur Internationalen Raumstation (ISS) stattfinden. Im Konkreten handelt es sich dabei um eine „Live Videoschaltung“ zur Raumstation (Kerndauer ca. 20 Minuten). Dazu werden 2-3 Kinder aus Schulklassen, die dieses Jahr am Projekt beteiligt sind, der ESA-Astronautin Samantha Cristoforetti ausgewählte Fragen stellen. Die Altersklasse der Kinder beträgt 8-10 Jahre. Zum IFC sind 16 Klassen aus 5 Bundesländern angemeldet, auch Astronaut Franz Viehböck hat sein Kommen zugesagt. Der einzige Österreicher, der je im All war, wird jenen Kindern Rede und Antwort stehen, die ESA-Astronautin Samantha Cristoferetti nicht selbst befragen können. Außerdem wird er seinen Raumanzug, den er bei seinem Flug zur MIR-Raumstation trug, bei dieser Gelegenheit als langfristige Leihgabe an das NHM Wien übergeben. Der Raumanzug wird später im Saal 16 ausgestellt.
