IDOLONSTUDIO is pleased to present "IMMATÉRIEL DE PROJET" curated by WANG Chun-Chi(TW). The opening reception scheduled for Tuesday, January 10 at 6pm and will include Sound and Physical Performance by Lukas Truniger(CH)+Vera Chen(TW) and music performance by Antje Vowinckel(DE) beginning at 7:30pm.
"IMMATÉRIEL DE PROJET": Hold conceptual dimensions: The invited artists tended to construction with varied materials and de-materialized media; though their art work was still precise, rich and intelligent. What was ultimately denoted by all the artworks was humanity- an individual's reflections upon themselves and the outside world.
The exhibition “IMMATÉRIEL DE PROJET” are brings together of Photographics / Visual and Sound Installation of "Variations for graphite/Icosahedron " by Atsunobu Kohira(JP), "Portrait I&II" by Anna-Sabina Zürrer(CH), "Everlasting the same" by Kim Westerström (SE) and "The Magic Mountain" by Marie Jager(DK).
Atsunobu Kohira
Atsunobu Kohira is a Japanese artist lives and works in Paris. The work "Variations for graphite/Icosahedron" is perception and the raw materials on the earth, which contain all the works. (silver and salt-light and sound in the photography, phenomena of the soil, micro particles of Triadic compositions, and graphite of the new work.) His works more relationship is about the micro materials and universal dimension.
Anna-Sabina Zürrer
Anna-Sabina Zürrer is a Swiss artist lives and works in Sachseln Obwalden currently residing in Paris. The artist uses photographs, which she found, and which, through a chemical process, disappear. The audience can watch the process of washing out the color on a video or directly during a live performance. In the end, the washed photographs, are mounted on the wall, but they refer to their origin. In parallel, a glass jar is displayed which contains the bleached out colors of the photographs. Through the reflection of the light in the jar or in the white and empty photographs at the wall, diffuse new pictures develops – a very poetic method dealing with remembering and forgetting.
Kim Westerström
Kim Westerström is a Swedish artist based in Malmö currently residing in Berlin. In Kim Westerström ́s work the personal experience meets a conceptual approach. Melancholy meditations on man's predicament are presented with a special kind of humor. In his work memory and time are connected to various objects that we are surrounded by.
The work "Everlasting, the same" (2011) consist of two black and white photos.
In the work we see the photographic documentation of different sculptures made of frozen ink. The first picture shows a cast of the inside of a toy castle standing on a square of styrofoam. In the second picture the ice castle have been put in water and then frozen again. This iceblock have been left on a towel on the ground to melt.
The black inside of the toy is turned insideout and the hard plastic material is converged into ice. The ice is melting, water is taking over and the object slowly dissapears.
Marie Jager
Marie Jager is a Danish artist. She received a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Southern California in 2004.
She was selected to present work in the 2006 California Biennale.
Her work has been exhibited at the Hayward Gallery, London; Sculpture Center and Artists Space, New York; the Henry Art Gallery, Seattle; Nordic Institute of Contemporary Art, Helsinki; MAK Center, Los Angeles among others.
Jager's practice is a combination of conceptual and contextual gestures exercised through film, photography, painting, collage and installation.
The work title "The Magic Mountain" is from Thomas Mann's 1924 novel Der Zauberberg which takes place a
century ago at Waldsanatorium in Davos, Switzerland. Jager's point of departure is the Barlow
Respiratory Hospital, one of the oldest sanatorium in the United States built in 1902 in Elysian Park,
Los Angeles. Focusing on the architecture and landscape of the institution, Jager's work examines the notions of interludes and interruptions in time and space, as well as the early concepts of modern architecture. The weathered works, exposed to the sun, rain and air, reflect this period where indoor and outdoor spaces were inverted, the private looked institutional and vice versa.
Antje Vowinckel
Antje Vowinckel is a Berlin based composer, director and performer. In her compositions she is focused on "Prosodic Composition", based on the musicality of spoken word. She has been comissioned to do radio plays and sound compositions for a variety of public radio stations such as WDR, DeutschlandRadio, SWR, BR, NDR as well as for foreign stations and festivals (ZKM Karlsruhe, TESLA Berlin, Biennale Bonn, Prix Italia, Festival for Contemporary Music Alicante, Tina B, Prag, Shut up, Vienna, Goethe-Institut Lissabon).

In recent years, she has also created live performances, installations and a video composition. A number of her works employ fragments of documentary speech which are then transposed into a musical structure. She uses instrumental and electronic instruments as well as every-day-life sounds which are interspersed between music and narration.
In her performance "organ and objects" she plays an old Korg-Organ, percussion objects and objects in a vibrating speaker. Another organ performance is based on textes by Gertrude Stein.
Lukas Truniger
Lukas Truniger was born in Zurich, studies in Germany and has a recidency in Paris at the moment. He is a musician, sounddesigner and an artistic programmer. In his work he is searching for new sounds in the environment as well as in the digital domain and he is engaging in the impact of sound in space. His tasks includes live music, installations and filmsound, so he is often working at the conjunction between sonic and visuall reception. He is also working on his own instruments.
Vera Chen Hsueh-Chen

L'exposition IMMATERIAL PROJECT / IMMATERIEL DE PROJET possède une dimension conceptuelle : les artistes invités travaillent avec des matériaux et supports variés, allant du papier à des medias dématérialisés. Les œuvres sélectionnées ont toutes en commun de montrer une dimension cachée de la réalité d'une manière poétique et romantique. Il se dégage de leurs travaux une forte humanité et humilité — une réflexion individuelle sur soi-même et sur le monde extérieur.

OPENING : 8PM, FEBRUARY 10, 2012
VENUE : LEAP (Berlin Carré, 1. Floor)
Karl-Liebknecht-Str. 13, 10178
MITTE BERLIN
IDOLONSTUDIO and LEAP present "Urban Flashes III (城市閃爍III)". The exhibition will open on February 10 and will be on view until February 19. The opening on Friday, February 10 at 8pm and will include a live concert by sound artist CHANG Yung-Ta and sound artist Jamie Allen beginning at 9.00 pm.
The exhibition "Urban Flashes III" are bring together of W.A.V.E. (城市微幅) by YiLab (一當代舞團) and Refractive Index(work in progress) by Jamie Allen.
W.A.V.E. is an installation-performance by SU Wen-Chi's (蘇文琪) and CHANG
Yung-Ta (張永達) contemporary dance company YiLab. It examines how we
exist and transform in an increasingly complex urban environment - moving
from natural to artificial and even alienated spaces, and from the sensory
experience of social spaces to the virtual network. W.A.V.E. visually maps
these changes and invites the public to physically experience them. The work
evolves around the solitary existence of a human figure inside a large
city-matrix, a virtual, interactive network integrating LED light, sound
installation and projections.

SU Wen-Chi (蘇文琪)
Trained in Taiwan as dancer and afterward in new media art, Wen-Chi has
been working between Taiwan and Belgium. Since 2002, she is the core
member of the Belgium's Arco Renz / Kobalt Works contemporary dance

new media performance. Since 2002 Wen-Chi engages in an ongoing
discourse that confronts her own artistic and cultural background with her
experiences in Europe. Since 2007 her artistic research has shifted to
combining dance with new media art, she created a dance installation
"Attention Travaux" (2007), multi-media performances "LOOP ME" (2009)
"ReMove Me"(2010) and W.A.V.E. (2011).
CHANG Yung-Ta (張永達), Taipei based sound artist. Born in 1981, Nantou,
Taiwan. Graduated from the Taipei National University of the Art, major in
digital art. Yung-Ta's works take on a variety of forms such as Audio-Visual,
experimental sound, installations and live performances. He composes
time-based sculpture with field recording sources and digitally generated noise
where the exquisite and violent coexist. In his work he combines minimal,
ambient complexities, making real-time generate Audio-Visual which
synchronized and present the detail, high quality video work collaborating with
independent dancers and visual artists. His works have been featured in
numerous group shows and festivals throughout Asia, Europe, North and South
America.
YEH Ting-Hao(葉廷皓),
His work focuses on the relationship between media art and sub-cultures,
especially in the field of audio-visual performances.
Because of his background in digital animation, he is particularly dedicated to
ve performances based on Real Time-Processing.
Refractive Index(work in progress) by Jamie Allen in collaboration with London 2012 Creative Programming and the BBC Big Screens programme, launches a multi-city nighttime installation programme for large-scale public digital media displays. With this series of after-dark installation projects for public media facades, Allen continues his work looking at the way digital media infrastructure changes our experience of the city and ourselves. Media systems - particularly as they become increasingly always on and everywhere - are not simply sites of content-delivery," says Allen. " Every pixel we light up, in turn illuminates the environment surrounding it. Big screens are also dynamic stage-lighting for the staging and pageantry of our cities. Refractive Index treats digital displays as modern-day camera obscura for the digital metropolis. 'What does the screen see?
Jamie Allen's circuitMusic project started as an exercise in radical improvisation – analog oscillators were built from bare circuitry and a breadboard while performing. Since then the live show has turned into a noise-synthesis project where signals from the home-made performance
rig are offered to the audience as both audible sound and stroboscopic light. Light and noise are shaped and into drones and pulses of raw static and electricity.
Jamie Allen is a Canadian artist living in Europe. With circuitMusic, he uses raw circuitry components and a megaphone to experiment with the sonic synthesis of electronic and human noise. Allen's compositions are streamlined, yet remarkably varied with harsh walls of static, dense drones, and playful rhythms all vying for the listener's headspace.
Urban Flashes is four session exhibitions curated by WANG Chun-Chi (王俊琪). The exhibition series explores the work of four groups of artists who make new
media such as light, sound, new technology and installation. Contemporary
artists play freely with materials and forms. They construct laboratories of
perception, focusing on human perception and the ability to manipulate and
condition it. The artists work with a direct reference to the modern
environment and use its artifacts such as strobe lights and spot lights to create
light spaces situated between sensual experience and scientific experiment.
The spatial and temporal structures are deconstructed by means of projection.
These four works offer an indication of the future of light techniques at the interface of art and cutting-edge technologies: Urban FlashesI: I will be Broken我會壞了 by YAO Chung-Han(姚仲涵), Urban FlashesII: Volusonogram by Tim Vets, Urban FlashesIII: W.A.V.E 城市微幅 by YiLab(ㄧ當代) and Refractive Index by Jamie Allen, Urban Flashes IV: One Moment in Time by Jiayi Young & Shih-Wen Young.
Urban Flashes ist eine Serie von drei Ausstellungen, in deren Fokus die Arbeiten dreier Künstlergruppen stehen, die neue Medien wie Licht, Klang, neue Technologien und Installation nutzen. Zeitgenössische Künstler spielen völlig frei mit Materialien und Formen. Sie konstruieren Laboratorien der Perzeption, in deren Mittelpunkt die menschliche Wahrnehmung und ihre Manipulierbarkeit und Konditionierbarkeit stehen. Die Künstler beziehen sich auf die moderne Lebenswelt und verwenden entsprechende Versatzstücke wie Stroboskopleuchten und Scheinwerfer, um Lichträume zwischen sinnlicher Erfahrung und wissenschaftlichem Experiment zu schaffen. Mit den Mitteln der Projektion werden das räumliche, aber auch das zeitliche Gefüge dekonstruiert.
