JOHN BOCK
February 5 - March 5, 2011
Gallery Hours: Tuesday-Saturday, 10:00 am - 6:00 pm
Opening Reception: Saturday, February 5, 6:00 - 8:00 pm

 
Regen Projects is pleased to announce an exhibition of new sculptural objects, drawings, collages, and films by German artist John Bock. The two films depict distinct and related environments in which Bock transforms his idiosyncratic objects through the use of ice and air. The ice-space was created for a lecture at the Julia Stotschek Collection in which spaghetti, a light bulb, pizza, a sneaker, and the artist's sculptural objects, among others were frozen with ice in a laboratory-like setting with Bock presiding in a silver space suit. In the air-space created in the artist's studio, the ice melts from the works and fans are used to transform the ice objects into air objects. Related objects, drawings, and collages will be displayed alongside the films in an artist-designed environment. Also on view is a new metal sculpture that acts as an armature in which various elements and artist-made objects are suspended and embedded.

 
John Bock's work eludes classification. His interdisciplinary fusion of language, theatre, economics, fashion, film, politics, philosophy, music, happening, performance, sculpture, and installation creates a unique artistic vocabulary that expands and challenges the limits of art. His work is a unique blend of fantasy and rationality, subjective reflection and objective visual process, emotional challenge and sensual proposition. Bock's exploration of open structures and the forms that can develop gives rise to a complex oeuvre driven entirely from his own imagination, where no traditional rules or logic seem to apply. Through Bock's lens, the viewer experiences an avalanche of visual impressions in which unexpected spaces, materials, objects, and their combinations reinvents the traditionally static boundaries between artistic disciplines.

 
John Bock's oeuvre seems to be a sort of interdisciplinary network in which work on the installation of material for a particular action triggers off a chain of interlinked and succeeding ideas for the script of a performance, in which the handling of an object gives rise to an idea for the costumes, or in which an objects suggests a text. In other words, we encounter a loop of activities that crystallize into others, a circulation of knowledge that re-nourishes the overall body of his work and locates it in a seemingly boundless space.
(Francisco Javier San Martín. "La Tragicommedia dell'Arte" in John Bock: Nöle, published by CAC Málaga Centro de Arte Contemporáneo de Málaga, Málaga, 2010, p. 136)

 
Bock's work has been the subject of numerous exhibitions throughout Europe and the United States. Recent solo exhibitions include Arko Art Center, Seoul, Korea; REDCAT, Los Angeles; Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt, Germany; State Opera, Berlin, Germany; FRAC, Marseille, France; ICA, London; and the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Bock has participated in the Venice Biennial (1999 and 2005), the Lyon Biennial (2005), the Biennale of Sydney (2010), the Carnegie International (2004), Documenta 11 (2002), and the Yokohama Triennale (2001).

 
An opening reception for John Bock will take place on Saturday, February 5, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm. For further information please contact Jennifer Loh, Heather Harmon, or Stacy Bengtson at (310) 276-5424.

HANNE DARBOVEN: WUNSCHKONZERT
December 15, 2010 - January 29, 2011
Gallery Hours: Tuesday-Saturday, 10:00 am - 6:00 pm
Opening Reception: Wednesday, December 15, 5:00 - 7:00 pm

Regen Projects is pleased to announce an exhibition of the work Wunschkonzert (1984) by Hanne Darboven. Originally shown in Documenta 11 (2002) as a collection of loose pages in folders, this monumental piece consists of 1008 pages of uniform size divided into 4 Opus's (Opus 17a and b and Opus 18a and b). Each Opus is comprised of 36 poems, and each poem is made of 6 pages plus a title page on which an antiquarian greeting card celebrating a Christian confirmation has been collaged. The poems reveal a rhythmic movement in their increasing and decreasing rows of numbers, and the checksum values are represented in digits and line-notations (17a, 18a) or by digits entered into a grid (17b, 18b). This work adopts musical methods of movement and repetitive rhythms and was conceived against the backdrop of musical compositions by the artist. Darboven briefly pursued a career as a pianist and evidence of her interest in music can be found in the form and structure of many of her works which have musical connotations. Several of her pieces have been translated into musical scores that have been performed. The title of the work refers to the Sunday afternoon musical request program of the German Norddeutscher Rundfunk radio station where felicitations were often broadcast.

Time formed the foundation for Hanne Darboven's conceptual artistic practice. Her installations, whether intimate in scale or filling an entire exhibition space, created architectures of time. Much of Darboven's work originates from personally derived numerical sequences based on the four to six digits used to notate the date, month, and year of the standard Gregorian calendar. The calendar sequence has consistently formed the basis for the majority of her installations, and offers a system to represent both the continuous flux of life and a clear, all embracing order. Through the actual writing of her numeric constructions or their graphic translation (u-shapes, wavy lines, grids, boxes, and line notations), Darboven personally relates to time, endows it with a concrete form, brings it into experience.

"Thus what seems at first to be an art-theoretical paradox - the association of serial principles with
the uniqueness of the subjective statement - leads to a new quality in the artistic description of
reality: time as 'writing time' and space as a geometric quantity no longer function illusionistically or
as a narrative, but rather as autonomous, serial structures. Art is no longer the illustration of reality,
but rather its equivalent."
(Joachim Kaak, "Hanne Darboven, 7 Tafeln, II, 1972/73" in Hanne Darboven/John Cage: A Dialogue of Artworks, published by Hatje Cantz Publishers, Ostfildern-Ruit, 2000, p. 26)

In Benjamin Buchloh's essay "Conceptual Art 1962-1969: From the Aesthetics of Administration to the Critique of Institutions" in October 55 (Winter 1990) he placed Darboven in the following context:

"[R]andom sampling and aleatory choice from an infinity of possible objects (Ruscha's Twenty-Six Gas Stations, Warhol's Thirteen Most Wanted Men) would soon become essential strategies of the aesthetic of Conceptual Art: one thinks of Alighiero Boetti's The Thousand Longest Rivers, of Robert Barry's One Billion Dots, of On Kawara's One Million Years.... Or again, there are works by Stanley Brouwn or Hanne Darboven where in each case an arbitrary, abstract principle of pure quantification replaces traditional principles of pictorial or sculptural organization and/or compositional relational order."

Hanne Darboven was born in 1941 in Munich, Germany and died in 2009 in Hamburg, Germany. She exhibited in numerous national and international exhibitions including "Live in Your Head: When Attitudes Become Form: Works-Concepts-Processes-Situations-Information" at the Kunsthalle Bern (1969); Documenta 5 (1972), Documenta 6 (1977), Documenta 7 (1982), and Documenta 11 (2002) in Kassel; "Reconsidering the Object of Art: 1965-1975" at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (1995-96); and "Hanne Darboven, Bücher 1966-2002" at the Westfälisches Landesmuseum, Münster (2002). Her work is included in a number of international collections including the Schaulager, Basel; Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; and the Museum of Modern Art, New York.


An opening reception will take place on Wednesday, December 15, from 5:00 to 7:00 pm. For further information please contact Jennifer Loh, Heather Harmon, or Stacy Bengtson at (310) 276-5424.
