Lecture Figures of Speech with Falke Pisano (part of the CCA's Critical Applause series), Wednesday 27 Jan, 7:30pm
About artistic production as speech-acts, the performative aspect and questions of efficiency in relation to reflection and transparency.
Transmission Gallery presents new work by Falke Pisano.
Falke Pisano's practice centres upon an exploration of the structural possibilities of language. From written accounts of transformations that take place between concrete object and qualifying language, she develops performance-lectures, printed matter, audio recordings and video works. These elements animate icily elegant sculptural installations.
In her new work for Transmission, Pisano will examine the idea of
‘critique': What does it mean to be critical as an artist? How does a critical practice relate to notions of production and performativity? Pisano proposes criticality as a continuous, precarious activity that can accumulate at certain moments, in a specific statement, connected to a specific position, about a specific subject, towards a specific recipient.
Falke Pisano lives and works in Berlin. After studying Fine Art at London Guildhall University and Sculpture at the Hogeschool voor de Kunsten, Utrecht, she took up a two-year research fellowship at the Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht. Since then, Pisano has participated in a number of international exhibitions including Talkshow, ICA, London, Making Worlds curated by Daniel Birnbaum for the 53rd Venice Biennale, Manifesta 7 and the Yokohama Triennale. She is represented by Ellen de Bruijne Projects, Amsterdam, Balice Hertling, Paris and Hollybush Gardens, London.
The artist will launch a new publication produced in collaboration with Will Holder at the preview of the exhibition.
Transmission would like to thank the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands for their kind support.
