NABA - Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti
Via C. Darwin, 20 â€" 20143, Milan
http://www.naba.itShare this announcement on: Facebook | Delicious | Digg | Twitter | On the occasion of the 30th anniversary, NABA (Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti Milano) â€" the first private art Academy in Italy founded by artists in order to oppose the rigid structure of the official Academy, organizes and hosts an international project "Learning Machines. Art Education and alternative production of knowledge". Through a vast number of initiatives this event will not just articulate the past and future of NABA, but will also stem to provide a profound reflection, and open up a discussion on the relationship between art and education, between institutional and non-institutional practices.
What possible relationship is there between art and education during the crisis of modern(ist) and, more in general, Enlightenment apprentice models? If modernist ideology has vilified pedagogy in its relationship with the practice of art, as an impoverishment of art itself, what has become of this relationship, now that the modernist cognitive model has become a thing of the past? What makes this relationship necessary and feasible today? What learning policies can still be adopted? What can we learn from the history of education as applied to that of art? What are the areas they have in common and where can spaces for experimenting new teaching models be found after the Bologna agreement?
The project "Learning Machines. Art Education and alternative production of knowledge" intends to become a meeting point and confrontation platform in order to discuss these and other urgent issues that regard artistic education on a global scale. The title "Learning Machines", derives from Fluxus movement and in particular from a series of works by George Maciunas.
LEARNING MACHINES. DISCOURSES" is an international symposium and a working meeting that aims to address and discuss the present and future scenarios of the art, design and media education. The transdisciplinary seminar will bring together leading international artists, designers, theorists like: Graeme Arendse, Koen Brams, Andrea Branzi, Dante Donegani, Clementine Deliss, Anselm Franke, Pascal Gielen, Joseph Grima, Alessandro Guerriero, Nikolaus Hirsch, Jakob Jakobsen, John Palmesino, Gianni Pettena, Gerald Raunig, Tim Rollins, Italo Rota, Florian Schneider, Pelin Tan, Gediminas Urbonas, Françoise Vergès and Eyal Weizman.
The exhibition project "LEARNING MACHINES. FIGURES" will focus on the subject of artistic education. Through a specially created display it will trace a chronology of experimental educational practices from the last century until now, giving an extensive overview on the various spatial and pedagogical models used and reflecting upon the idea of the community of scholars. Works by: 16th Beaver Group, Atelier Populaire, Roy Ascott, Black Mountain College, Bauhaus Schule, Erick Beltrà n, Joseph Beuys, R.

Alex Pollard'Collaborations'PREVIEWFriday 12th November 2010, 7pm - 9pmUNTIL18th December 2010Alex Pollard, 1996, 2010, oil, synthetic polymer paint and silkscreen on canvas, 243.5 x 182.5 cmSorcha Dallas is pleased to announce the second solo show in the gallery by Alex Pollard. Born in Brighton in 1977, Alex Pollard graduated with a BA in Painting from Glasgow School of Art in 1999 before serving on Glasgow's Transmission Gallery committee between 2000–2002. Group exhibitions include the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh; Luhring Augustine, New York; The Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art, Peekshill, USA and the Scottish Pavillion at the Venice Biennale in 2005. In 2006 Pollard had solo shows at The Reliance, London and Sorcha Dallas, Glasgow, which was followed by a solo at the Talbot Rice Gallery in 2007 and the solo exhibition 'Tea-Leaf Demeanour' at the Whitechapel Project Space, London. In 2010 he had a two person exhibition with Clare Stephenson, 'Four Fatrasies' at The Pumphouse, London, they had previously shown together in 'The Dirty Hands' at the CCA, Glasgow in 2009. Pollard lives and works in Glasgow.'Collaborations' brings together a series of new paintings, ready-mades and assisted ready-mades.
The brief 'Romo' movement in the 1990's was a short- lived moment in British pop. Bands such as Dex Dexter, Plastic Fantastic, Hollywood and Orlando looked back to the 1980's new wave for musical inspiration and styling at a time dominated by white hetero lad pop. The bands involved never really took off despite being heavily promoted by the Melody Maker magazine, mainly because of their association with the New Romantics who had only just been toppled as the then dominant stylistic trend.
The appropriation of this pop movement as a research area within the work is a calculated use of marginalised yet somewhat embarrassing cultural material strategically used at the wrong time. The mixed signals that Romo sends out (80's styling used during the 90's) are used to question current systems of cultural reception and consumption.
Through a playful re-staging of a 1980's Warhol/Basquiat/Sprouse aesthetic, Pollard riffs with daubed motifs and coolly selected silkscreen imagery, playing the roles of both Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol. The chosen motifs reference identity politics, modes of retail distribution and past works from Pollard's oeuvre, reconfigured within a dubious framework of self-representation.

Fireworks Display!
Just in time for Guy Fawkes Night this Friday 5th November, I've finally got round to uploading a video clip of the Fireworks Display performance I staged earlier in the year at the Glue Factory, Glasgow.
As the sister work to The History of Financial Crises, this performance spectacle is a one-woman attempt to re-enact a chronology of 'the history of revolution' over the course of the last 360 years via the medium of pyrotechnics.

A Little Bit of Magic Realised
25 November 2010 - 29 January 2011
A Little Bit of Magic Realised, opening on 24th November, examines the work of Susan Derges and Garry Fabian Miller and places their work alongside early photographic experiments from the nineteenth century. The title comes from William Henry Fox Talbot's description of the invention of photography.
To complement the phenomenally successful Shadow Catchers show (an in depth look at the work of five camera-less photographers, including Derges and Miller) at the Victoria and Albert museum, A Little Bit of Magic Realised shows new work by them both alongside treasures from their archives, which will be juxtaposed with early historical photographic works by Anna Atkins and William Henry Fox Talbot.
'These are images of breathtaking directness and naked truth. Taking an analogy from music, this is "photography unplugged".'
Mark Haworth Booth, formerly senior curator of photographs at the V&A
Garry Fabian Miller - Cow Parsley (Swaledale) 1987
Susan Derges - Bluebell (Flower) No. 1, 2000
________
"We are a small group of people against a tidal wave of photography defined by a camera. Twenty-five years ago I realised the camera was an obstacle in my own work. I didn't want to take photos of the physical world anymore. I wanted to make physical the things I sensed around me. It is possible for photography to exist in the same way as musical composition – not depending on the physical world"
Garry Fabian Miller
'I'd been working with a camera in the studio, doing a lot of staged photography, when I started to look at things outside. I remember one of the first things that triggered a print was seeing a still pond with a cluster of newly-laid frogspawn. The sun was passing through the spawn and it was printing this image on to the bottom of the pond. And I just thought, 'wow, that's a print, it's a sun print.'

Free. Hawthornden Lecture Theatre, National Gallery ComplexSurrealism: Anger and Revolt - Silvano LevySilvano Levy explores the anger felt by the Dadaists in response to the First World War and explains how these intellectual rebels scandalized respectable society. The mockery and tomfoolery of Dada is then shown to evolve into the surrealist revolution of the mind, which drew its inspiration from Freud's Interpretation of Dreams. The wild dreams and obsessions of Dalí, Magritte, Delvaux, Miró and Masson are contrasted with the taunts and insolence of Duchamp, Man Ray and Picabia.Tue 9 November, 12.45-1.30pm. Free. Hawthornden Lecture Theatre, National Gallery ComplexThe Primacy of Drawing - Deanna PetherbridgeArtist and writer Deanna Petherbridge will introduce some of the ideas central to her book, The Primacy of Drawing: Histories and Theories of Practice, published this year by Yale University Press. Intended as much for artists, art students as devotees of drawing, this book examines the role of drawing in contemporary as well as historical practices. She examines the 'economy' of drawing, that is, its materials and techniques and qualities of line and mark and analyses strategies of making, composing, inventing and investigating and critiquing ideas through revealing juxtapositions of historical and contemporary images. A book signing follows the talk.Mon 29 November, 12.45-1.30pm. Free. Hawthornden Lecture Theatre, National Gallery ComplexThe Body in Question: Surrealist Anatomies - Elizabeth CowlingIn their quest to explore fearlessly what their leader André Breton called the 'forbidden zone' of the human psyche, Surrealist artists sought entirely new ways of representing the human body and thus giving visual form to unleashed human desire. Fantastic anatomies were invented and commonplace objects were endowed with transformative symbolic meaning. Focusing on works included in Another World, art historian Elizabeth Cowling examines these aspects of the Surrealist 'revolution'.Tue 30 November, 12.45-1.30pm. Free. Hawthornden Lecture Theatre, National Gallery ComplexOn the Thirteenth Stroke of Noon - Professor Michel RemyBritish Surrealism has arguably not received the attention that it deserves, even in Britain. Yet it not only produced an astonishing quantity of poems, sculptures and paintings, but was also on a par with the international movement. Professor Michel Remy, University of Nice, France, assesses its main tenets in the field of aesthetics as well as politics.

ARTocracy, authored by Claudia Zeiske and Nuno Sacramento, provides insight into the organisation of collaborative projects through hands-on practice and applied examples. It provides practical guidance - from the definition of each theme to the selection of artists, as well as key strategies for funding, marketing, education, and artistic output - paying tribute to the precarious balance between artistic quality and social consequence.
The book features a foreword by Paul Shepheard and essays by Lucy Lippard and Nina Möntmann. It is now available from our online shop.
"Art keeps its inner workings secrets, like a guarded craft…until now. Artocracy shares a committed way of working—it's brave to put it out there, and also generous. The methodology at the heart of this handbook, with diagrams that will prove important guides, is also a demonstration of the coming of age of public practices that are open and in which learning is always part of the process. And Artocracy does more: it proposes art as one component among many in the makeup of a place, but a constant one, for without it, something vital is missing." Mary Jane Jacob

Picture This
Hauntingly striking works by a group of young people who took a leap of faith back in April this year.
"You find your talent that is hidden in you" : Shona
Six young people from North Glasgow supported by Youth Worker, Chrissie Miles and collaborative artist Lindsay Perth, grasped the unique opportunity to explore life in a completely different way and to interpret what they saw using photography within contemporary art. A series of intensive workshops researching the meaning in imagery, interpretations of other artists' work along with collaborative discussions developed awareness and skills to explore and interpret their own thoughts and feelings, their perception of themselves, others and the world around them.
Picture This is a partnership project jointly funded by: Glasgow Life Communities, North Area Services Youth Team, Glasgow City Council, North Area Committee and Street Level Photoworks.
A Celebration
Drawing on the social landscape of the East End of Glasgow.
This project portrays 50 shopkeepers, workers and owners of local businesses that are trading in that area and it aims to capture something of the relationships that exist between different communities that contribute to the shaping of what our city is.
For most, it is business as usual, but with the huge development of the Commonwealth Games 2014, it is forecast that this area of the city will be transformed into a hub of economic growth with likely effects on the local people and businesses. 'A Celebration' portrays the diversity of the East End, and as a consequence, a community spirit that thrives amidst the uncertainties of change.
