This week: HELMUT LANG ARCHIVE, 1986-2005

This ARTFORUM weekend is the last chance to see HELMUT LANG's
digitized clothing archive in 032c's MUSEUM STORE, in an exhibition
showcasing his nearly three decades of research at the crossroads
of art and fashion.

032c’s MUSEUM STORE is pleased to present the first-ever exhibition of
Helmut Lang’s digitized fashion archive. Of the 10,000 items of Lang’s design
that have been photographed and archived over the past four years,
3,000 were selected to be included in a video documenting his work in fashion,
spanning a period of nearly two decades – and, simultaneously, embodying
his creative role at the crossroads of fashion and art.

Helmut Lang was born in Vienna, Austria in 1956. In 2005, he left the Helmut Lang l
abel and began devoting himself to research and practice in the arts, having
already collaborated with artists such as Louise Bourgeois and Jenny Holzer.
“Alles gleich schwer,” his first institutional solo exhibition, premiered on August 29th,
2008, at Hannover’s kestnergesellschaft, where it will run until November 2nd.
Lang currently lives and works in New York City and Long Island.

Artist of the day - Laura Splan

Extreme embroidery

I think this is a great example of the dramatic changes in textile art around the world. I hope that this old craftmanship get the chance to be created more and more in Sweden, I mean the craftmanship is very old and we need young artists who could see this again and try to develope this way of expression and making art.

After -party with Black Market

Whatever Happened to sex in Scandinavia?

'Whatever Happened to Sex in Scandinavia?' is a research project that consists of three platforms – an exhibition, a programme of public events and a publication – examining the juncture of the political and the erotic through the work of artists produced predominantly in the context of the countercultural movements of the 1960s and 70s. Part of OCA's Verksted series, the exhibition and public programme are the result of an extensive research project about the international perception of Scandinavia during the 1950s, 60s and 70s as a utopic region of socialism and sexual freedom. This project will introduce OCA's new premises at Nedre gate 7 in Oslo.

This project examines the historical roots of sex reform as a political initiative as analyzed by Herbert Marcuse in Eros and Civilization, and intends to purposefully open up and provoke questions about this history and related artistic and cultural production. The exhibition will be complemented by a series of screenings, lectures and seminars with participants such as filmmakers Jonas Mekas, co-founder of Film-Makers' Cooperative and Anthology Film Archives in New York City, MM Serra, director of the Film-Makers' Cooperative, and Nicky Hamlyn; artists Sanja Iveković, Carolee Schneemann and Barbara T. Smith; and historians Håvard Nilsen and Troels Andersen. They will be accompanied by special screening evenings featuring films by Stan Brakhage, Öyvind Fahlström, Jean Genet, Willard Maas, Anthony McCall, Yvonne Rainer, Barbara Rubin, Carolee Schneemann, Jack Smith, Mai Zetterling and others. A two-day seminar dedicated to discussing political radicalism, the socia l and identity construction and gender in the Scandinavian context will take place on the 21st and the 22nd of January at OCA. The schedule of speakers will be announced in early November.
