Parallel Vienna – Judith Leupi & Toby Christian

26.09.2018 - 30.09.2018

Celine is ecstatic to present the work of Judith Leupi and Toby Christian at Parallel Vienna.

Both artists practice have an ongoing concern for the object detached from its original environment and function; overlooked details from everyday architecture and structure, with an interested in the surface and materiality. The various attempts of translation and the possibility of giving the subject a new formal idiom through each of their interventions generate the potential of a new reference space to the viewer.

Judith Leupi (born 1983, Switzerland) lives and works in Glasgow, her work has been shown in a number of exhibitions including, The Lauriston Arches, Glasgow; The Glue Factory, Glasgow; the Waterfront, Belfast; Raum für aktuelle Kunst, Lucerne; Gelbes Haus, Lucerne; Centre Pasquart, Biel; lokal.int, Biel; Kunsthaus Langenthal; Sihlhalle, Zurich;  Project R.F.Z.K. Berne; Kunstmuseum Thun; Museé Jurassien des Arts, Moutier.

Toby Christian (born 1983, UK) lives and works in London. His books Collar and Measures are published by Koenig Books, London. Christian’s work has also been included in exhibitions at the Bloomberg Space, London; Gasworks, London; The Freud Museum, London; The Royal Academy of Arts, London; The Armory Show, New York; The Whitechapel Gallery, London; The Santander Cultural Centre, Porto Alegre, Brazil and The New Art Gallery, Walsall.

Near me Need Help Edinburgh Leisure

21.04.2018 - 20.05.2018

Celine is ecstatic to present Near me Need Help an exhibition by Edinburgh Leisure.

 

There is a certain aesthetic ambience that Edinburgh Leisure taps into and adapts to its own ends. Despite eschewing any kind of direct commentary, it is committed to its own carefully honed brand of realism. The group takes its name from a trust operating sport and fitness facilities in Edinburgh, which functions at ‘arms-length’ from the City Council. Adopting the banal in-house graphics of this organisation and others like it, Edinburgh Leisure holds up a mirror to the semiotic landscape of contemporary Scottish life. This is a landscape where the signifiers of privatised civic infrastructure vie for attention with those of syndicated digital platforms, engendering a broader political situation that poses significant challenges to previously held conceptions of both governmental responsibility and corporate accountability.

The three metal grills affixed to the windows of the gallery share an affinity with the visual effects that accompany Edinburgh Leisure’s live shows. At these performances, logos appropriated from a range of sources –often popular media outlets such as BBC, ITV4, Dave, Netflix, Pornhub– are passed through computer software that converts them into animated forms determined by the music being played. At Celine, the ‘daisy wheel’ branding used by the Royal Bank of Scotland since 1969 has been treated in a similarly fetishistic manner, undergoing a process of abstraction before being plasma-cut into sheet steel. These objects are, like the Resolume VJ software that powers the visuals of an Edinburgh Leisure performance, designed to function as generators of live imagery. This form of presentation could just as easily be described as a protracted event as an exhibition. It could almost be interpreted as an inhabitable version of the limbo-like television idents used to abridge programming and advertisements.

In equal measure the appropriated logo that features on these grills embodies national stereotypes of fiscal prudence, as well as connotations of the leveraged practices that eventually led to the bank’s bailout during the 2008 financial crisis. While occupying the position of Victorian shuttering traditionally found in Glaswegian tenement flats, the steel panels sport the industrial appearance of perforated cladding used to secure vacant buildings. Throwing shadows onto the walls and floors of the gallery the effect is a literalisation of the largely unseen, yet all-encompassing backdrop that corporate entities such as Royal Bank of Scotland play in our everyday lives.

Just as the growing obfuscation of the boundaries between public services and free-market sovereignty can be characterised as one of the leitmotifs of contemporary society, this installation is likewise inscrutably layered. It is with a distinctly sardonic air that such incongruous material has been re-deployed in the service of immersive spectacle. However, this does not reflect mere cynicism on the part of Edinburgh Leisure, but is rather an inversion of the insidious annexation of collective resources by private concerns. For them, establishing momentary ownership over this class of imagery is a means of making it ‘dance to our music.’

I See You Man

25.02.2018 - 31.03.2018

Celine is happy to present an exhibition organised by Nadia Hebson and Sophie Macpherson:

In summer of 2016 Sophie Macpherson and I (Nadia Hebson) worked on a text which explored our shared interests in apparel, physicality, female subjectivity and friendship. Drawing on skype and email conversations the text took an epistolary form and ranged through personal perspectives on women artists’ practices and international events such as the ‘migrant crisis’ and the EU Referendum, alongside descriptions of sports clothing and club wear, and reflections on Dominique Strauss-Kahn and the paintings of Christina Ramberg. An unguarded but none the less edited script, the text became a short hand for the creative space of female friendship.

Writing about Elena Ferrante’s Neapolitan novels which detail the lifetime relationship of two women from an impoverished Neapolitan neighbourhood the writer Natasha Soobramanien likens the women’s friendship to an act of translation. Soobramanien writes ‘Lila and Lenù are translated beings, translating one another, shifting continually between the Neapolitan dialect of their childhood and the standard form of Italian both have a talent for expressing themselves in. And it is in this more rarefied linguistic sphere that Lenù finds success, and her professional voice as a writer (a voice modelled on Lila’s writerly voice)’. Lila and Lenu steel themselves through the confines of 60’s, 70s’ and 80’s femininity through the persistence of their complex friendship, which Ferrante so carefully atomises. They see one another and at times offer each a template for being, Ferrante’s writing of their friendship is closely analogous to the experience of creative friendship. And to understand female friendship as a form of translation is to recalibrate its constituents, becoming a space of attention, mirroring, testing, exchange, admiration and productive envy, a space of agency.

In taking the complexities of female friendship and the communicative possibilities of dress as a starting point we have invited artists and writers who are friends and potential friends to contribute work to I See You Man. These artists and writers work explore ideas of mentorship, resonance as described by Italian Feminist Carla Lonzi, feminist activism, translation, biography, fictional autobiography and the agency of dress.

Exhibiting artists: Phoebe Blatton and Annika Hüttmann, August Fröhls, Nadia Hebson, Stanya Kahn and Harry Dodge, Ellen Lesperance, Sophie Macpherson, Julia Schmidt, Clemence Seilles, Clare Stephenson

The title of the show ‘I See You Man’ is taken from work by Stanya Kahn and Harry Dodge.

On Saturday 31st March Celine will host an afternoon of performance, readings, talks and a reading group where the following texts and related material will be discussed. The below books and texts will be available throughout the duration of the exhibition.

Monica Lewinsky at the Theatre of Dionysus Cammisa Buerhaus

30.08.2017

A Tragic Comic Monologue

Trying to make ends meet after losing everything at the White House, Monica Lewinsky decides to throw caution to the wind and take up a life as a bartender. Her first stop, the Theatre of Dionysus, a small pub in Glasgow’s Southside. She befriends a drunk patron and tells them her tale. But what is Monica’s story? A remake of Euripides' The Bacchae starring Monica Lewinsky as a Maenad, tells the story of Washington D.C. circa 1992 with fan fictional surprises.

Cammisa Buerhaus is a writer and performer based in NYC. Her film 'Private Lives' has been exhibited widely, most recently in an exhibition curated by Georgia Sagri in Athens, Greece. Recent performance work includes; a starring role in Richard Maxwell’s 'The Evening', Language for titre provisoire’s ‘Some Things In Common Perhaps’, and Cecilia Corrigan’s 'Motherland'.

Rita McGurn

31.07.2017 - 27.08.2017

Celine is very excited to present works by Rita McGurn (1940-2015).

Privately McGurn worked prolifically, making paintings, drawings and sculptures. As such, and without a studio, the family home became an artwork in itself. Walls, carpets and furniture were transformed into paintings and sculptures, shoes painted leaopard skin matched the painted chairs and cupboards, the walls became murals, lights covered in tiny bottles and broken glass became chandeliers. Central to this inexhaustible and boundless practise, McGurn used crochet as a medium for 2 dimensional and 3 dimension art works creating tapestries, carpets, framed pieces, and figures, some of which are shown here. Selected in collaboration with McGurn's daughter France-Lise the work spans different periods of her life time and creates an installation which reflects the work she made for both public and domestic settings.

Rita Mcgurn was a self-taught artist and designer. She began work as an interior designer when she and her family moved to Zambia in the 60s. Upon returning to Glasgow she moved into production design on commercials and films. She continued to work in interior design for private residences and businesses, an example of which can be seen on the store front of Strawberry Fields, a children’s clothes shop on great western road. McGurn had several exhibitions throughout her life most recently at Iota gallery in partick. She was also commissioned to make the smokestack sculpture for the Twomax building in the Gorbals, which still stands and can be seen on the woman’s library tour of Glasgow.

With special thanks to Dani Metzstein, Martina Gormley, Monica McCarey and the McGurn family.

You, Telluric Thing – Marine Julié

20.05.2017 - 10.06.2017

Celine is pleased to present ‘You, Telluric Thing’, a solo show by French artist Marine Julié.

Julié’s work questions the masculine values which underpin historical narratives and monuments to glorious battles and great men which she struggles to identify with. The work presented depict transgressive authority figures through a pictorial language that references, traditional South Asian painting, Greek red-figure pottery and Egyptian hieroglyphics to subvert the aesthetic vocabularies that once articulated the very values she interrogates.

Marine Julié is based in Switzerland, her work has been shown in a number of exhibitions including Wunderkammer, Lausanne, Switzerland (2017) La fôret d’art Contemporain, Parc Régional des Landes, France (2016) Triennale d’Art Contemporain du Valais, Martigny, Switzerland (2015) La SAS, with Fabrice Gygi, Lausanne Switzerland (2014) Basis, Frankfurt, Germany (2013) Biennale d’Art Contemporain d’Anglet, France (2013).

Arm’s Length Government Body – Shona Macnaughton

08.10.2016

Arm’s Length Government Body is a new performance work by Shona Macnoughton which takes as it’s starting point the unique conditions of property in which Céline finds itself, drawing attention to the space as a private dwelling house which can never be owned by its occupants. The audience will bear witness to an intimate contractual arrangement as they are taken through heart warming scenes of domesticity. Tones of care will create new grounds for eviction.

Nieces, Nephews – Gordon Douglas

05.02.2016

Nieces, Nephews marks the first public outcome of a conversation conceived by Gordon Douglas around the seminar ‘Performing Life’ that he and Georgia Horgan attended whilst studying at CalArts. The research has evolved around a common interest with Georgia and Celine in notions of reproduction, documentation and cultural inheritance in performance art and education.

The evening event will be performed by Gordon Douglas and Georgia Horgan

Le Cruel et Curieux Vie Du La Salmonellapod, 2001
Alex Bag and Ethan Kramer

His Girlfriend is a Robot, 1996
Alex Bag

I wonder who’s been around here long enough to know?, 2016
Gordon Douglas

plus a text from Caitlyn Outfit: The Maintenance Guy is Dead; Long Live the Maintenance Guy, 1976$

Alex Bag was born in New York in 1969 and received her BFA from Cooper Union. She is most widely recognised for her ironic performance videos of the 1990s and 2000s, where she performs as multiple personae amidst fragments of pop detritus. Bag grills the tropes of consumer and media culture in droll conceptual parodies that take cue from televisual experience. From 1994-1997, Bag produced a public broadcast television programme ‘Cash From Chaos’ alongside frequent collaborator Patterson Beckwith. With her signature deadpan delivery and deliberately low-tech style, Bag questions how we define ourselves in relation to television, fashion, advertising and the artworld. Her father worked in advertisement, and her mother was the host of a popular children’s television programme – The Carol Corbett Show, which was later renamed The Patchwork Family.

Caitlyn Outfit is the name of a group of artists, thinkers, activists and performers who met and practiced under the United States Federal Witness Protection Program in the 1970s. Originally from different cities across the US, the group were brought together in nearby rural towns in central America. Having such a de-centered locale, the general discourse the group were aware of was greatly mediated by printed material (magazines, journals and books), television, and radio broadcast. The outfit therefore developed their own personal discourse – a thrown-together assemblage of thoughts by contemporaries, as well as ideas born out of their situation as anonymous indebtors to the witness relocation scheme. The Outfit practiced principally through conversation with one another, but had a minor amount of public outlet through self-published text, performance score and sound art.

Gordon Douglas is a performance artist and collaborator living and working in Glasgow, Scotland. He is currently invested in developing alternative models of co-inhabitance, friendship and organisation by instigating working dynamics with artists, designers and practitioners. His father works in investments and his mother works in dementia daycare.

Georgia Horgan is an artist based in Glasgow who uses video, performance, sculpture, appropriation and collaboration to research how histories are represented and politicised. Her father is a mechanic, and her mother formerly owned a travel agency in Surbiton, until the late nineties when she sold the business to become a full-time mother.

Hybrid – Aniara Omann

31.01.2016

A hybrid is per definition a merged version of two, or more, individual entities. This merged version exists on its own as a new individual, holding within it the definitions of each of the multiple individuals.

Following this train of thought, we can question what a merging is, when it is occurring, and what this means to our idea of individuality.

Five artists, who all have specific interest in the subjects of biology, environmental issues or science fiction, have been asked to write texts considering the idea of ‘the Hybrid’, and the potential expanse of individual objects.

At the event performer Phoebe Amis will do a reading of the texts that have been submitted in response to the theme.

The contributing artists are:

Brandon Cramm (US)
Hannah James (UK)
Francis McKee (IRE)
Joanna Monks (UK)
Scott Rogers (CA)

Additionally there will be a live demonstration of the Halo Harp.
The Halo Harp is a cross-beamed, laser based musical instrument produced in Glasgow, which has the capacity for recording, playing back and controlling sounds.

Physicist Giles Hammond will give an introduction to the harp.
