ADB
| # 006 brings together eight articles in three languages around
the topic "aspects of art production outside museum spaces". The
texts all treat the subject in very different ways. Noémie
Etienne and Nadia Radwan focus on the development of
contemporary Egyptian art, which, in the course of the Jasmine
Revolution, increasingly uses urban space as a political canvas.
Sonja Gasser reports on poetry that floods the urban areas of
Florence. Simon Sheikh debates in his essay new ways of looking
at the figure of the artist, who is asked to perform the task of
establishing platforms for a public and counterpublic. In an
interview, Dieter Pfister gives his opinion about art in public
spheres. Sabine von Fischer describes the search for synthetic
acoustical qualities in the city space. Andreas Blättler
reflects on the boundaries between the private and the public
sphere, which have become blurred as a consequence of the
invention of the telephone and its progression to smartphones.
Marcel Henry describes in his article how new ephemeral art
forms arise under the influence of changing media and how these
forms create a counter-trend to art with a largely physical
presence in public space. The text collection is completed with
an essay by Michael Birchall. He reports about open and artistic
forms of life and the current phenomenon of using urban spaces
for the production of food.

#004 | Simone Zaugg (CH) and Muriel Baumgartner (CH) | Lokal.int
and Platform 2/3 | Biel/Bienne
 |
 |
 |
Between
tracks and road, fact and speculation, gain and loss oscillate
the artistic interventions in and around Biel/Bienne train
station. At the end of June, the nearby off-space Lokal.int will
stop operating from its current premises, prompting ADB | Amici
Di Borgo to invite artistic investigations influenced by this
circumstance. Simone Zaugg (*1968) ventures into the little wood
behind the off-space with an installation that teases the viewer
to speculate, while Zurich artist Muriel Baumgartner (*1976)
uses Lokal.int's satellite space - a glass cubicle on platform
2/3 at Biel/Bienne train station - for an intervention with an
impact on public space. Here art truly refuses the places
intended for its presentation and allows passers-by on the road
and the railway to become viewers.

For three years,
the old kiosk at the corner of Via San Gottardo and Via Sarah
Morley (Chiosco Morley) in Muralto-Locarno (CH) was abandoned.
In summer 2009, an artistic intervention called it into life
again. The installation "Annunciazione" was realized by Ronny
Hardliz (www.hardliz.ch) and Jürg Schluep, and consisted of five
steps analogous to the biblical scene of the annunciation. The
artists refer to the tradition of this imagery, and the various
phases of the biblical story were recognizable in the execution
of the work. This was done in a symbolic rather than strictly
literal way. In the end, the work was about the kiosk as a
specific place and time in the city, and the project performed a
temporary and local intervention in the overall urban structure.
