The lingering, the merging of forms, in which time, present and future, softly tickle each other; where the work is the intersection between past and future, the present, das "Hier und Jetzt": "Der flüchtige Moment".
- Stefan Kalmar, Kunstverein München, director

Perhaps the way this I is described, makes it one exemplary artistic 'I' of modernity. It is somewhere between the figure of the epical artist and the novelist. It is epical because it doesn't call for identification, it enfolds before the eye of the betrayer, doesn't ask for his consent, moreover it makes itself a little obscure , ...
- Ariane Müller, editor of STARSHIP magazine

People will tell you that modernism is about taking the straight way. Don't believe them! It's about the crooked way. It always has been.
- Jan Verwoert, writer and researcher

"Picture a moon, shining in the sky, that no one can see. Three small spots of light between the trees, the trees visible as shadows. Three benevolent candle wicks burning, a bottle of wine emerging from its own base. Madame is trembling a little. Is well-lit, from the left side, how i am lit i don't know. Picture that I am well-lit. The light comes from above, which is always better than below, from below you look uglier. This time of year gives the feeling that one is 2000 meters above sea level, something like that. We knock on a wooden table, sit on a wooden stool in front of a ruined castle." (M.K.)

Erste Auflage zu Anlass der Ausstellung
STARSHIP outside-in
Kubus im Lenbachhaus, München
2007


Stellen Sie sich vor, ein Mond scheint am Himmel, den man nicht sehen kann. Drei kleine Lichtflecke zwischen den Bäumen, als Schatten zu erkennen. Drei wohlwollend brennende Kerzendochte, eine Flasche Wein, die nach unten sich abzeichnet. Gnädige Frau zittert ein bisschen. Ist gut ausgeleuchtet, von der linken Seite. Wie ich ausgeleuchtet bin, weiss ich nicht. Stellen sie sich vor, ich wäre gut ausgeleuchtet. Das Licht kommt von oben, was immer besser ist als von unten, weil dann sieht man hässlicher aus. Für diese Jahreszeit hat man das Gefühl, man wäre 2000 Meter überm Meeresspiegel, vielleicht. Man klopft an Holztisch, man sitzt an Holzstuhl, vor einer Burgruine.

......

Das Publikum ist einfacher geworden?
Es ist einfach. Das ist nicht mal ein Verdienst meinerseits. Ich bin auch immer stumpfer geworden. Obwohl auf der anderen Seite bin ich viel lustiger geworden. Bloss, dass die Leute das nicht mehr unter lustig verstehen, was ja auch egal ist. Bloss, die Anstrengung wird immer grösser. Und du brauchst deine Streicheleinheiten und da darfst du nicht drauf reinfallen.


Das in Stellen Sie sich vor, ein Mond scheint am Himmel wieder publizierte Interview mit Martin Kippenberger wurde 1991 das erste mal von der Wiener Kunstzeitschrift ARTFAN herausgegeben.

Seinesgleichen geschieht / The Like of it now Happens

The series of 19 posters (and a plastic bag, not on display here) is part of a visual re-search project by STARSHIP magazine. The research started at two terms: Excess and Sustainability, complimentary and yet integrative notions.
Excess, the waste of energy and resources, the exploitation of oneself and others is seen as part of artistic production and is told in stories and expected by the audience. To ex-cessively exploit yourself and your resources has for a long time been the general image of artistic production. It is also an internal feeling of negativity, to not care and not take care, when being anyhow not d'accord with general value settings, may it be beauty, hotel rooms or cities.
Sustainability, as a social term, might on the individual level be transcribed into the care for oneself. It has become a leading term in the discussion of resource efficiency, of the necessity to change behavior patterns, a notion that a lifestyle, that has been excessively followed in Europe and the US might have come to an end in itself.

Based on the two notions of Excess and Sustainability, STARSHIP has invited 20 artists to a project that is mainly conceived for the public space. Each artist has produced a poster, not necessarily trying to put together the two notions but as a visual research that depicts elements within this field between caring and wasting, they relate to.


Seinesgleichen geschieht / The Like of it now Happens, functions in the public space by finding the different posters, dysfunctional as advertisements, in different places at random.
The presentation in the gallery space shows the range of its imagery.
