Implantation SCHWERIN

Implantation: SCHWERIN (2010)
wood,metal, blue carbon paper transfer on table: 150x100x80cm.
Exhibition view: Schwerinblicke, Staatlisches Museum Schwerin, April-July 2010

"In his work Implantation RDC he transported
the ground plans of an industrial site over a time
span of 25 years via blue carbon paper on a working
table in an aleatoric, random way.
Table, lamp and setting are a pivotal part of the installation,
showing the bureaucratic development of the
Implantation of the industrial complex.
The French term implantation means colony or settlement.
Its temporal component becomes obvious by the layering of the plans.
Consequentially the artist has now applied the idea to the 850 years of
development of the city of Schwerin.

As a basis for Implantation Schwerin, Manenti has taken a table in the Wilhelminian style.
The traces it bears, demonstrate the temporal aspect in
analogy to the historical development. Through the eight and a half centuries of Schwerin history,
the specific setting of the city, in midst the lakes, remains concisely visible.

In the centre, the carbon copies accumulate into an agglomeration, which seems to render the traces of human
settlements. Seen from apart, they appear as negative highlights, which are acting as witnesses
of the civilisation of electrified cities, when seen nocturnally in birds eye view.

In an inverted archaeological approach, the artist adds aleatorically the plans over each other on a
drawing-board, like the chronological layers of archeological diggings."

Tampon sur papier fax
4000x30cm (en mai 2011)

L´ensemble des dates que peut inscrire un tampon-dateur est imprimée sur du papier-fax, dans l´ordre chronologique.
Les frises produites de cette manière par différents tampons d´âge et de modèle différents enregistrent une temporalité différée, non pas le «temps réel» du travailleur, mais celui, arbitraire, du tampon lui-même. La longueur de la frise est déterminée par la grosseur des caractères du tampon.

Le tampon utilisé pour Betriebsferien subvertit complètement le principe de la série des Chronologies: il imprime des intervalles de temps ( du type: "du jj/mm au jj/mm/aa" ) au lieu d´une simple date. Par conséquent, le nombre de combinaisons imprimables par le tampon sur les 12 années de sa validité s´élargit démesurément: leur liste complète donnerait un rouleau d´environ 5km de long!

Guidelines est un projet d´installation dans lequel un
labyrinthe de bornes de file d´attente ou “guide-foules”
remplit un espace de passage. Les lignes de guidages des
guide-foules sont réalisées en papier tue-mouches grand
format, habituellement utilisés dans l´élevage de bétail. Non
seulement à cause du dégoût de nombreuses personnes
pour les insectes mais aussi à cause de la colle dont ils sont
imprégnés, le pepier tue-mouches agit comme un élément
sale, répulsif pour le public, contrastant avec l´esthétique
propre et froide de l´espace.

The project Guidelines takes shape in a sculptural installation, building up a room
filled with guiding lines, arranged to form a labyrinthic passage between two exhibition spaces.
This project features the crowd-control devices used in public spaces, but the lines themselves are made of large, sticky flycatcher rolls commonly used in livestock industry (e.g. stables).

Chonologies: Betriebsferien (94-05) 2011-ongoing
Date-stamp on fax paper
4000x30cm (in may 2011)

All the dates a date-stamp can print are stamped on long fax-paper rolls, in a chronological order.
The timelines produced by the use of different stamps are all different in length, not because of the availability duration of these objects -which is often standardized on 12 years- but because of the size of the object itself.

The stamp used in Betriebsferien subverts the principle of the Chronologies Series: it prints time intervals (in a "from dd/mm/ to dd/mm/yy" format ) rather than single dates. This increases the number of possible combination drastically: listing all the possible time intervals would produce a ridiculously long roll of about 5 km.

inkjetprint on Post-its, Ventilators, variable dimensions.
Exhibition view: Galery FMAB, 2009

Was kann ich für sie tun deals with the idealized image of the female in the corporate world. A very large amount of call-center girls and businesswomen photos, produced to illustrate various articles or ads in corporate websites, are collected, printed on post-it notes and pasted all over the walls while two ventilators blow in different directions from the middle of the room. The title of the installation works as a double allusion to the standardized ways of corporate communication in the corporate and to the deception of the feminist movement’s strive to improve the women´s conditions the work force (Was kann ich für Sie tun –with a big S on Sie- means „how can i help you“ and is a common commercial sentence, while the same sentence with a little s on „sie“ means „what can i do for them/her“).

The full serie of dates of date-stamps are printed on long fax-papers, in a chronological order.
The timelines produced by the use of different stamps are all different in length, not because of the availability duration of these objects -which is often standardized on 12 years- but because of the size of the object itself.

Unlike the works of On Kawara, the chronology do not reflect the artist´s lifetime, but the time in which the stamp was in use, which can be as far back as the 1920´s.
So the Dating series are like cheap time-travels for office workers....

This “monument” is an over-sized pile of notepapers, in which every sheet is marked with a stamped date and classified in chronological order, like a calendar. For the days in which such Airplane crashes happened, images of the wreckage are printed on the sheet. The classified images remain only visible by the fine black lines they are drawn on the side of the “paper-tower.”

Pocket lamps are placed in the three central windows until their batteries are empty, causing the progressive extinction of the lights in the boxes. Some paper covers the windows, hiding the dispositive, to make the public focus on the light halo.

The trucks by Jean-Charles Paumier are an other way of working with light: the two symbols blink continuously, like a sort of heartbeat accompanying the disappearance of the lights in the central windows.

Introduction

Cruel Beauty by Teresa Ianotta

Introduction

2009-03-30T12:48:00.001Z

In my artworks I try to settle the question of sense experience in relation to domination within the social realm. By making hopeless attempts to escape from busy environments and rigid timetables, I produce an instant irony of “vanitas” —a plot of nonsense in domesticated environments— which are seemingly secure but marked by a permanent anxiety.

In the installation Office (2004), a myriad of dates is stamped on a desk, as if a prisoner had lost his sense of reason by making such a calendar. A video sits inside the desk drawer, introducing a comical character who sits with a lamp in the hands on a swiwel chair, like an absurd lighthouse.

In other works, I confront reality itself, by reducing objects to their own representation and putting reality in conflict with its own image. In the recent installation Angenagelt (2008), real plants are pinned leaf by leaf on the wall, drawing a kind of disembodied fresco, reducing itself to a parody —a landscape for waiting rooms, like the last memory of “nature” held on to by modern man.

Sightseeing grand luxe (2009)
wood, metal, plastic. Dimensions of the cart: 145x90x120cm.
Exhibition view: Ich komme später, 91mq art space, Berlin.
(first image´s background, from left to right: Gipfel and videoprojections of Bonnie Lane)

Sightseeing Grand Luxe is an handcart, transporting 2 persons seated on office chairs and pulled by a single man, in order to make a sort of „sightseeing tour“ in the rooms of an office.
Like „Solarium“ in 2008, this work is made of corporate furniture parts, like a hand-made detournement made by the working personal.
The hierarchic relations between the people carried and the person who pulls are ironically commented by the impossibility for the single puller to carry the two „office tourists“ very far...

Gedruckte Post-its, Ventilatoren, Größe variabel.
Ausstellungsansicht: FMAB Galerie, Berlin, 2009

Was kann ich für sie tun stellt die Frage der Platz den Frauen in den Beruflichen Welt sowie ein Kommentar über die Enttäuchungen des Feministisches Bewegung: Fotos von Geschäftsfrauen, die als Illustration für geschäftliche Internetseiten inzeniert sind, werden auf Post-its gedruckt, und auf Wände geklebt. Zwei Ventilatoren, in der Mitte des Räumes installiert, blasen in alle Richtungen.

Implantation: SCHWERIN (2010)
Holz, Metal, Blaupapier-Transfer auf Bürotisch: 150x100x80cm.
Ausstellungsansicht: Schwerinblicke, Staatlisches Museum Schwerin, April-Juli 2010

"Der gebürtige Franzose Nicolas Manenti beschäftigt sich mit prozesshaften Vorgängen der Arbeitswelt, in denen er bürokratische Arbeitsweisen thematisiert.
In seiner Installation Implantation RDC hat er Grundrisse einer Industrieanlage über
den Zeitraum von 25 Jahren aleatorisch in Form von Durchschlägen mit Blaupapier auf einen Arbeitstisch übertragen.

Tisch, Lampe und Ort sind ein entscheidender Teil der Installation, der
die bürokratische Entwicklung der Implantation des Industriekomplexes zum Ausdruck bringt.
Implantation bedeutet im Französischen "Ansiedlung" oder "Niederlassung", ein Begriff, dessen zeitliche Komponente durch die Überlagerung der Pläne deutlich wird.

Diesen Gedanken hat der Künstler nun konsequent über die 850 Jahre der
Schweriner Stadtentwicklung fortgeführt. Für Implantation
Schwerin verwendet er als Trägerobjekt einen Gründerzeittisch, dessen Abnutzungsspuren analog
die zeitliche Komponente der historischen Entwicklung verdeutlichen.
Über die achteinhalb Jahrhunderte der Schweriner Stadtgeschichte bleibt die spezifische Topografie
der Stadt durch ihre Lage inmitten der Seen prägnant erkennbar.
In der Mitte verdichten sich die gepausten Linien zu einer Agglomeration, die
scheinbar Spuren menschlicher Siedlungen wiedergibt.
Sie wirken aus der Entfernung wie negative Lichtpunkte, die in nächtlicher Vogelperspektive
Zeugen der Zivilisation elektrifizierter Städte sind."

Chonologies: Betriebsferien (94-05) 2011- in prozess
Datumstempel auf Faxpapier
4000x30cm (in Mai 2011)

Ausgangspunkt der Chronologien Serie ist die repetitive und absurde Tätigkeit, sämtliche Daten, die ein üblicher Daten-Stempel hergibt (die meisten Stempel „dauern“ 12 Jahre), aufzustempeln.

Der In Betriebsferien genutzter Stempel subvertiert das Prinzip der Chronologien Serie: er druckt Zeiträume in einem "von tt / mm / bis tt / mm /jj"-Format) anstatt einzelner Daten. Dadurch erhöht sich die Anzahl der möglichen Kombinationen drastisch: Die Auflistung aller möglichen Zeitintervallen würde eine lächerlich lange Rolle von ca. 5 km produzieren.

Le projet Implantation consiste à transférer au carbone plusieurs plans historiques de la même ville les uns sur les autres sur le même support, généralement une table de travail.
Par ce procédé, les plans utilisés sont directement recouverts au stylo-bille.

Le plan présenté ici est le plus grand, montrant l´agglomération du grand-Berlin en 2010 dans un format qui dépasse celui de la table.
On distingue donc clairement la zone recouverte d´encre du plan dans son état original.

In the project Implantation Berlin, several historical maps of the same city at different times are randomly copied with carbon paper on a large architect table.
The maps used for the project are written over with ball pens.

The map depicted above is the largest copied map, showing Berlin in year 2010,
in a format which exceeded the size of the table, showing the contrast between the overwritten space and the map in its original state.

Was kann ich für sie tun

Was kann ich für sie tun, (2009)
impression sur Post-its, Ventilateurs, dimensions variables.
Vue d´exposition: Galerie FMAB, Berlin, 2009

Une grande quantité de photographies représentant des employées ou des femmes d´affaires souriantes sont imprimées sur des post-it et collées aux murs. Du centre de la pièce, deux ventilateurs soufflent en direction des parois. Le titre est un jeu de mot en allemand: Avec un grand S sur le „sie“, la phrase signifie „que puis-je pour vous/votre service“. C´est une formule classique du langage marchand. En revanche, le petit s peut s´interpreter comme les pronom „elle“, „elles“, ou „ils“... la phrase devient „que puis-je faire pour elles/eux“.
L´installation questionne la vision idéalisée des femmes dans la communication du monde du travail et la tourne en dérision de manière mélancolique. Was kann ich für sie tun fait echo à l´amertume des mouvements féministes face aux inégalités persistantes dans le monde du travail.

Solarium (2009) Video DV, loop, 11min

La video Solarium a été réalisée à partir de la sculpture du même nom. Le film montre un employé maladroit, obsessionnel qui a bricolé sur son bureau un improbable solarium. En plus d´une documentation de la sculpture,
la vidéo est un véritable „sketch" qui résume en quelques scènes l´esprit absurde et ironique des travaux de N.Manenti.
