WU TSANG : Of Whales (2022) at Gropius Bau Berlin
19.11.2022 - 29.01.2023
"Derived from Tsang’s multidisciplinary research around Herman Melville’s novel Moby Dick (1851), the large-scale installation features surreal marine environments and unleashes a 16-channel score in the historic atrium."

If you missed it in Venice this year, here you have the chance to experience it again. With the cold weather outside, it is great to hide in the sheltered space, that art creates. ;-)

We are very extremely happy with the implementation of the LED video wall and audio installation. See and hear for yourself

"Toxic Waste", a new exhibition by Omer Fast at the Dvir Gallery in Brussels has opened last Friday. It features two works:
- Der Oylem iz a Goylem (2019) – single channel video projection
- Garage Sale (2022) – three channel video installation
The latter installation has been shown only once before. As in his previous video works, Fast mixes fiction, documentary and autobiographical elements to stunning and sometimes irritating video works. The triple projection for instance confronts the viewers with the impossibility of perceiving all three films at once.
----> See it yourself, you will be surprised.

We are glad to be able to support Omer Fast in all his amazing works since years.

Nan Goldin | Moderna Museet i Stockholm

“This Will Not End Well” at Moderna Museet in Stockholm is a retrospective of Nan Goldin – one of the most influential, yet controversial visual artists of our times. Two of her works – "The Other Side" and the famous "Ballad of Sexual Dependency" are shown in analogue form – using carousel S-type Kodak slide projectors connected to digital dissolve controllers dating back to the 1990's.
Eidotech goes to great lengths in preserving the historical audiovisual devices in working condition for as long as it is possible. These include slide projectors, film projectors, CRT monitors, as well as all their environment (slide controllers, video splitters, processors ans so on). We believe, that this way we can contribute in keeping alive many artworks made in the past. We are happy that we could collaborate and share our experience with Moderna Museet in Stockholm on this great exhibition.

For most Nan Goldin is known as a photographer. This retrospective exhibition is the first to comprehensively present her as a film-maker.

Karla

Omer Fast is one the artists, with whom Eidotech has built a long-term relationship in the area of multimedia development. Many of his works require specific, at times bespoke solutions. In the case of "Karla", we have used a HYPERVSN holographic projector to create the sensation, that the CGI-generated protagonist's head is floating in the air.

Omer Fast's exhibition is currently on display as part of Sites during Paris+ by Art Basel. The show is organised by gb agency in the Chapelle des Petits-Augustins at the Ecole des Beaux Arts de Paris.

Arthur Jafa ––> Love is the Message, The Message is Death ––> The Douglas Hyde Gallery

"In »Love is the Message, The Message is Death« (2016) Jafa presents a poignant, visceral, and emotional reflection on African American life, identity, and history. Comprised of material largely taken from online sources, scenes of trauma, racism, and grief, such as routine police violence against Black people that is endemic to U.S. history, are presented alongside images of joy, defiance, and creativity, such as the performances of exceptional Black athletes, dancers, and musicians that are essential to the country’s identity."

Eidotech GmbH developed multimedia solutions and provided equipment for the exhibition.

FIONA TAN at EYE Film Museum: Mountains and Molehills
02.10.2022-08.01.2023
"For Tan, time is both a medium and a vehicle. It is a material that she studies, shapes and processes into artworks – often in combination with still and moving images.". The exhibition "is a journey through a selection of works from her oeuvre, in which the passing of time and the role of the landscape as a mental space are recurring themes."
-----> Let's go for a little hike, following her investigations how we do hold on to memories.

Eidotech GmbH provided multimedia solutions for this exhibition at the Eye Film Museum.

Bruce Nauman - Exhibition Neons, Corridors & Rooms | Pirelli HangarBicocca

"His art is distinguished by an interest in understanding the human experience and its conventions, as well as the inner workings of the psyche, which he investigates through the perception of the body, and interactions with space, time, and language." – write the curators of Bruce Nauman's exhibition 'Neons Corridors / Rooms' at the Pirelli HangarBicocca in Milan.

Eidotech provided and installed multimedia solutions for the exhibition.

EUPHORIA, Julian Rosefeldt
Multichannel Video- and Audioinstallation
Ruhrtriennale 2022, Essen Zeche Zollverein, Halle 5
25.08.-10.09.2022

"EUPHORIA is the long-awaited, new, multi-disciplinary, spatial film installation by the video artist and film-maker . (...)
The project pursues the question of why capitalism appears, until now, to have no alternative and why it remains irresistible, even to people who are aware of its destructive nature, as a filmic re-enactment of both pro-capitalist and capitalist-critical positions."

We had the chance to give advice and support for over two and a half years now, and are so grateful and happy to have been able to help presenting it to the world for the first time.

We have been responsible for the full challenging AV-installation.

----> Don't miss the chance to see this outstanding work with a lot of surprising participants !! Next three weeks in Essen, then again in Europe only in 2023 at the Holland Festival !

Citizenships. France, Poland, Germany since 1789 - Deutsches Historisches Museum

"With its exhibition “Citizenships. France, Poland, Germany since 1789” the Deutsches Historisches Museum looks at changes to both the meaning of citizenship and its power to galvanize, in a broad sweep from the ‘long’ 19th century to the present day. It quickly rose to become the dominant form of political belonging in the age of the nation state, was used by dictatorships as an instrument of ethnic and political selection, and is currently experiencing a fundamental change in the face of citizenship of the supranational European Union. This is shown in the exhibition based on three European countries: France, Poland, and Germany. As neighbouring states they were and are existentially entangled by sharp conflicts and close political cooperation."

Eidotech has provided the installation of multimedia.

"By appropriating, re-reading, and reassembling historical films, present-day TV shows, commercials, propaganda and educational films, or YouTube videos, Cortiñas brings together what only seems distant and reveals the production and consumption contexts inscribed in the images, as well as the patterns of perception within which they operate."

No Master Territories

No Master Territories – Feminist Worldmaking and the Moving Image at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt

"Bridging the fields of documentary and artists’ film, 'No Master Territories' assembles a plurality of practices to offer an expansive, intersectional account of underappreciated encounters between feminism and the moving image. Across a polycentric, global geography, it maps how artists and filmmakers have explored the nexus of gender and power and charts sites at which feminism connects to other struggles for justice."

Eidotech has provided multimedia solutions for this impressive exhibition. --->while in Berlin a must-go.

"Projected onto a 16-meter long suspended screen, Time No Longer focuses on the image of a record player floating in a space station. Anchored only to the electrical power cable, the turntable plays a new arrangement of Quartet for the End of Time: the composition by French musician Olivier Messiaen, considered to be his most famous musical work, composed in captivity." Anri Sala creates a setting in which music, CGI imagery, space and time become artfully interwoven for new and stunning impression.
Anri Sala, TRANSFIGURED –> GAMeC - Galleria d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea di Bergamo –> 16.10.2022

The collaboration between Eidotech and Sala spans more than fifteen years. We have been developing and implementing multimedia for his challenging video artworks and settings almost since the beginning of our existence.
For this particular projection, we have used 3 JVC projectors in 4K resolution. These particular projectors, built using JVC's D-ILA technology have an outstanding contrast ratio and color space, thanks to which it was possible to achieve the near-full black of the background and depth of color space.

Susan Meiselas | C/O Berlin

Two exhibitions currently on view at the C/O Berlin: Susan Meiselas and Bieke Depoorter: two solo shows by outstanding female photographers, that represent two generations (Meiselas – born in 1948, Depoorter – born in 1986), but share a very intimate approach to people, they photograph.

This year marks the 17th anniversary since Eidotech started to collaborate with this excellent Berlin gallery focused on the presentation of photography. It all started with Herlinde Koelbl's exhibition in October 2005, just a few months after the founding of Eidotech GmbH in Kreuzberg, Berlin.

"Of Ideal" by Pierre Huyghe is currently on display at Esther Schipper in Berlin.
"A collective production of imagination between two types of intelligences, human and artificial. A set of private ideas and memories, were given as images or descriptions to be imagined by a subject. As the person imagined these components, the brain activity is captured by an fMRI scanner and a deep neural network attempted to reconstruct these ‘mental images’. The visual representations of human thoughts are presented as raw material, chimeras made from millions of unchosen images."

The images are displayed on a square-shaped (233x233cm) LED video wall provided by Eidotech.

In August of 2021, the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin has been reopened after six years of closure for renovations. The exhibition that has been running since – and will run until 02.07.2023 – features a parallel film projection by the renowned Venezuelan artist, Javier Téllez: Rotations. The main protagonists of the films are two sculptures. One is Prometheus (1937) by Arno Breker, a monumental male figure that represents the mythological hero grasping a torch. The other figure is “Zwitter” (1920) by Karl Genzel, a small wooden figure depicting a hermaphrodite that holds a clock in its hand.

The parallel projection was technically possible thanks to an Eidotech-developed system for the synchronisation of two 16mm projectors. It is a fully electronic and automatic system, therefore it doesn't require any solid shaft between the projectors. It also synchronises on itself, thus it can be turned on and off just like almost any projector.

David Claerbout, Hemispheres

David Claerbout talks about his first solo exhibition at Esther Schipper, which opened for Gallery Weekend Berlin. "On view are two large-scale video projections: The Close, 2022, and Aircraft (F.A.L.), 2015-21. The title of the exhibition refers to the two sides of the brain, which each process information differently, yet complement each other’s functions to create consciousness; likewise, the two works presented in the exhibition have disparate themes, but together represent reciprocal parts of Claerbout’s practice."

Eidotech provided multimedia equipment for both projections.

Rineke Dijkstra's work is on display at the LehmbruckMuseum until 28 August 2022.
This is the first time, the artist decided to show her video artwork on LED video wall.

Bruce Nauman's video work "Practice" is currently on display at the Konrad Fischer Galerie, Berlin.

"Nauman’s work was inspired by reading the catalogue The Reservation X: The Power of Place from the First People’s Hall at the Canadian Museum of Civilization, which his grandson gave him. An illustration in the book showed a contract signed between the Canadian government and Isapo-Muxika, a chief of the Sisika, otherwise known as the Blackfoot. While the representative of the Canadian government signed with his name, the chief signed with an X. The Canadian authorities supplemented the X with the English name of the chief and the words «his mark»."

Practice is a black & white video projected in portrait mode. The powerful Panasonic PT-RQ13 has been selected to meet the expectations of the artist and the curator of the show. It features 10 000 ANSI lumen, 3-chip DLP technology, laser light source and WQXGA 2560 x 1600 resolution.

Amie Siegel | 26 April - 23 July 2022

Amy Siegel's new work "Bloodlines" – currently on display at the Thomas Dane Gallery in London – was shot in numerous private estates throughout England and Scotland, as well as in public institutions. It follows the movement of paintings by English artist George Stubbs (1724-1806) from aristocratic homes and private country houses to an exhibition in a public art gallery, then back again.
The 82 min video was shot in 4K and required an adequate projection equipment. We worked in close collaboration with the artist to select the right gear. The decision was made to use the outstanding JVC DLA-VS4500. It features native 4K resolution, ∞:1 dynamic contrast ratio, superb colour rendering (covering more than 100% of the DCI-P3 colour space) – all thanks to the JVC-developed D-ILA technology.

Thomas Dane is delighted to announce an exhibition of Amie Siegel’s new large-scale moving image work, Bloodlines, and an associated series of prints, Cloude, Clot and Cloot (all 2022), at the London gallery beginning 27 April, 2022. Siegel’s layered, meticulously constructed works embrac...

Richard Wagner and the Nationalization of Feeling - Deutsches Historisches Museum

"Richard Wagner experienced and influenced the 19th century in many different ways – as a composer and court musician, as revolutionary and an exile, as a bankrupt and a protégé of wealthy patrons and of a king. The Deutsches Historisches Museum presents Wagner not only as a witness and as a critic of the political and social upheavals of his time, but in particular as a controversial artist and entrepreneur who knew how to strategically integrate society’s sensitivities into his work."

"The group exhibition At Dawn draws connections between techniques of image production and the social and political work that goes into imagining alternatives to what the late Cuban American thinker José Esteban Muñoz called our «poisonous and insolvent» present. The show seeks to express a sense of art’s utopian horizon—a generative space of desire, experimentation, and q***r relationality aligned with what he described as «ecstatic time.»”
